A few weeks ago, I went to Huntington Beach to celebrate my brithday with two of my friends, and their birthdays too. The present I got is, not too surprisingly, this week's topic.
The laptop bag that I got is cute, stylish, and just the right size for my laptop. It also has room for some paper, a small folder, and a pen, as well as my cell phone. Not too small, and not so big that is seems pointless to carry it around. Works for me.

What could it be? m&m's the candy? No, not quite. mmmm, that was delicious? almost, in the sense that I had a delightfully delicious time at MONSTER MASSIVE this last weekend!!! The music was awesome, and the dancing was fun!!! I also got to spend time with Amber, a recent friend that I don';t get to spend much time with, as she lives in San Bernardino. You see, for her, it was just another dance. For my friend Jackie, well, she was in her element...obviously, because she loves to dance!!! :) For me, it was remarkably like prom, or homecoming, only in a Halloween costume. MAN. I think the funnest part of the evening was getting to spray my hair black(black hair is definitely an experience, especially when the can if colored hairspray doesn;t work QUITE the way you thought it would, like the color comes off any time it touches anything, like my hands, my neck or my face. :) ) And, staying out all night is also always a pleasure. :) I'm not sure I'll do it again, as my feet were killing me by the end of the night, but I'm not sorry I went. I had a blast. :)

recipes

This one came from Emily:(I'm gonna go ahead and give it a name, since she didn't give me one, so I don't think it has a proper name. :) )

chicken veggie casserole

rice(I used the packages of ten minute rice, so I'm guessing it was about 2 c, b/c I used 2 bags)
celery(2 stalks)
broccoli( i didn't really measure, I jsut kind of eyeballed it, but prob. about half a head to a head)
chicken(2 C, again, I didn't measure, I just used up what I had, so this is approximate)
cream of chicken soup(1 can)
1/2 can of water (to thin the soup out)

cook the rice, chop the celery and broccoli, them steam until almost tender, tear the chicken into strips, mix together, and add the soup. put in the oven for about 10 min., and enjoy!

It's quick, easy, and delicious!!! Thanks Em!

help?

A few of my friends here at school at liberals. Or at least democrats. I was raised conservative republican. That in and of itself, just the knowledge I mean, can be a cause of friction. However, it's usually not, except when they start to talk about politics. Then I have no idea what to say. They are both Christians, but have VERY different views on the presidency, and particularly the war, than I do. I have talked to my dad about it, and he tried to answer my questions, as I don't normally pay attention to politics(it's not my "thing" you see :) )but just asking him what to say isn't helping enough. Either I don't remember what he says, or they bring up something more that I didn't ask him about, and therefore don't have the information to begin with. So, can you guys recommend some websites(I don't have radio, and I don't really have the time to watch the t.v. when the news shows are on) that I could go to to read up on a) some of the causes behind the war, because I know it wasn't just an invasion tactic, because Bush is war happy. b) presidential candidates(as the election is coming up, I should probably know something about who I am going to vote for before I vote for them :) )and c) any random political issues that could become major topics of discussion in the future, or anything at all so that I don't sound dumb when trying to say something about this particular area? I would REALLY appreciate it! thanks! :)

I've put a lot of thought into what would go into today's slot, and the winner is....
My bike! :)











as a fairly poor college student, I sadly don't have enough money for a car at the moment. I can ride the bus, they stop running at about 9 p.m., and they cost money, besides, if it's not too far, why not save myself $1.25? there's also a tram that takes students from the dorms to campus, but it isn't always terribly reliable. Therefore, I ride my bike most places. It's free, good exercise, and pretty quick. Also, the upkeep is virtually nothing.(so far the only expenses have been the original cost{which my parents paid when they got it for me 4 years ago}, and the cost to get it a tune up{whcih will, I hope, last me another 4-5 years}). Cheap, fun, and healthy...works for me! :)

YAY!!!

I just discovered that PAX(now called ION) tv has decided to be EXTREMELY smart, and start playing Doc and Sue Thomas again(albeit reruns)!!! Well worth watching, good family shows, go check em out! maybe if they get enough ratings, they'll start to make new episodes of Sue Thomas again, even though they can't really make new ones of Doc, since the ending was pretty final. However, Sue Thomas was left open, so there's till hope, although it has been three years since they ended it, so maybe not much hope, but a little bit. :)

fires

Right now, the biggest of the fires in my area is in the area of my church. Apparently. the Canyon Country fire(also known as the buckweed fire) is currently covering 85,000 acres, and is believed to be in the process of joining two other fires, the Magic fire, and one other, to make up a very large area(I forget how large). So, please pray for the safety of COC, and, for that of the families who live in that area. I'm okay, becasue Canyon Country is actually about 30 minutes away from Northridge, and it doesn't seem, for now at least, that any of them are headed this way. Also, for those of you in the fire areas, I'm praying for your safety, and that of your homes. :)
