because i am old

Greetings, fellow internet-lurkers ! I hail from the cozy lil white-walled, fluorescent-lit, sweltering-hot-NO-AC-IN-THIS-DUMB-ROOM realm of Brookdale dorms =] . So yups, I'm all moved in now ! Woot woot ! I have pretty new curtains, and a cute lil lamp, and a nice vase of fake flowers, and all my favorite plushies, and a jar of potpourri, and my lovely posters / pictures on the wall, and a whole bunch more of other random things ppl typically have in their dorm rooms ^.^ ~

Gonna rewind for a bit now and take it back to when I was still cleaning up my dump of a room at home, just so I could properly pack for the move out [ and i STILL forgot some important things . . . idiot xP ] . I found this time capsule thing from 8 years ago xD ! It was so funny cuz it was just a rolled up piece of computer paper in an old Poland Springs bottle, and on the cap it said ' 8 / 10 / 2007 ' . Heh . Oops . Guess that's when I was supposed to have opened it xD oh wellss ~ I remember when I had put this together . . . it was summertime and I was in elementary school between 5th and 6th grades or something like that ~ And I was in VBS at GCC ! =DD Kehee ~ I opened it up . . . and it was this Gospel Light [ lOL ] worksheet called ' From Time to Time ' . There were two columns - the first one said ' Today : August 10 , 2000 ' and the other said ' In the Future ( fill in later ) ' . Then I got madd excited cuz I was like oh snap ~ ! I can fill this in now ! xDD ! =P

So here's what I wrote =] ~ The bold is the category, the blue is what my 11-year-old self had written, the [ italics in brackets ] is my commentary on what I'd written then xD, and the orange is what I've written now [ now as in . . . when I was at home =P ] ~~

Something I've recently learned about God :
we were made in the image of God [ why yes we are ~ ]
He never fails . Shows us perfect love & enables us to be like Him thru His Holy Spirit . He never puts us in situations we can't handle ; trails will grow us and build our character .

I show God to other people when I :
feel like it [ ROFL I may have misread this back then =PP ]
love them unconditionally . let them know of God's promises

because i should be sleeping

I made a shiny new bloggie ! I thought it would be fun for the new school year . . . or something like that =] . See it's purdy and piiink and there's a cutesy picture of a muffin / cupcake wannabe that cannot be eaten ! Oh . . . what a tease =.=

HEY did anyone know there are 3 verses to the Papaya Song ?? Cuz I sure didn't !

THE PAPAYA SONG

I like bananas, I know that mangoes are sweet
I like papayas (PAPAYAS!), but nothing can beat
The sweet love of God

I was walking 'round in circles at five miles an hour
Tryin' to find my way back to the Heavenly Father
The world tasted sweet, but soon it turned sour
And then I asked Him in and received His power (1,2,3!)

You can search for the tropics to find a fruit that's new
You can swim in the ocean, until your face turns blue
But look no further, I'll tell you what to do
Just open your bible to Galatians 5:22

The fruit of the spirit, from love to self-control,
If you plant it in your heart it'll strengthen your soul,
So guard your fruit for also we are told,
That you fruit will rot if it's left out in the cold (1,2,3!)

Ahahaha . So cool xDD ~
