How long has it been since I've posted? Like a year? Maybe not that long, but it feels like it. I'm not sure why I feel like posting today...maybe because I feel sad and I just need to get my feelings out. Not that the internet, meaning the entire world, needs to know my business. Have you ever waited for something to happen, but when it finally happens, you're not happy about it? It's not a good feeling. | | Monday, May 28th, 2007 | | 10:04 pm |
Time
Where does Time go? I know that the questions I'm about to ask are common place and everyone has asked them, but I think they deserve to be asked again. I'm sure that most of you reading this just had a three day weekend in celebration of memorial day. (For those of you who don't currently work full time and have a 7 day weekend, I'm sticking my tongue out at you!!!) It's just funny how time works. Why does a 3 day weekend feel just as short as a 2 day weekend? Why do I always feel motivated to do projects when I don't have a lot of time to finish them? Like today, we got motivated to finally organize our computer room. It was around 5 pm when we got motivated? Why didn't we feel like doing anything at 1, 2, or even 330? Why 5? Maybe because the day was winding down and I needed to be productive..who knows? Why is it that a week vacation goes by at lightning speed, but a week at work travels at a snail's pace? It doesn't make much sense. At work, we have things to keep us busy and occupy our time. This should make time seem to go by more quickly because we have to finish our tasks. But no, work usually doesn't work this way. (Yes, sometimes it does and there isn't enough time to get things done before 5 rolls around) When it's 1:30, I already feel like I've worked an 8 hour day and I question how I will make it the remaining hours until 5. Vacation should seem to go by more slowly because we are relaxing and doing fun things. But nope, It's the end of the trip before it even seems to start! I finally start feeling relaxed and then it's time to worry about work again!! Let's hope my beach trip in a few weeks doesn't go by so quickly! I want to savor every minute. Sometimes, I find that when I try to savor every minute, I miss the minute. Let me explain: It's like when you do something and you bring a camera. You are trying to hard to capture the memories of the event, that you don't really participate in the event. It's like when you just go and don't worry about taking pictures or remembering, you have a better time and it's more memorable. I've noticed that. It's a strange phenomenon. Anyway, thank goodness it's just a 4 day work week!! | | Monday, March 19th, 2007 | | 9:35 pm |
Vball
Okay, so I said I would post volleyball updates and I didn't. Tonight was the last night of regular season games. It's been a good season mostly. It only lasts 3 weeks, but we've played at least 10 games. Considering that I had never played volleyball until 2007, I think I did really well. I had a good time and it was good exercise. Also, it's always nice to learn a new sport. The tourney is on Thursday and then it will be over. I don't know if I will play next year. I'd like to, but under different circumstances... | | Wednesday, February 28th, 2007 | | 8:57 pm |
Vball Update
Okay, so last night was the first "real" practice with the whole team. I totally stunk, despite what others say. For me, it was not a good practice, although I guess any practice is better than none. It was a rough blow to my vball self esteem, which isn't all that high anyway. Hopefully I will bounce back from the fiasco of last night. We bought a vball tonight so I can practice more at home. First real game in next monday. I'll post my progression through the vball season. Hopefully in a month, I'll be able to say that I'm now a vball player! | | Sunday, February 25th, 2007 | | 7:59 pm |
Today was a good day. My parents adopted Otto, a 2-3 year old Boston Terrier rescue. We drove down to Concord to help welcome him to the Stonnell household. He is a very sweet dog, already settling in very nicely. | | Saturday, February 24th, 2007 | | 5:43 pm |
Volleyball
I don't know how Middle School PE was for everyone else, but for me, it was crap. I hated it. I was always praying that I didn't get picked to do anything because the people who got picked got made fun of if they messed up. They had like 3 classes in there together. We were packed in. When it came time to "play" volleyball, you only got a few chances to practice the different ways to serve/hit the ball. Then you had to play. Of course, a lot of the girls would just stand around. They didn't care that my grade was based on how well they played (since they were on the same team). Made me so angry. Needless to say, I have horrible memories of volleyball, which just left a bitter spot in my mind where vball is concerned. Because of Middle School PE, I hated vball. Fast forward to the present. My sunday school class has a vball team. After months of trying to avoid it, I finally joined the team. It has been so much fun. I actually like vball now and will really enjoy being on the team. We are the FBC Generals. Blue and yellow are our colors. The season starts on March 5th. Cobra! | | Wednesday, February 21st, 2007 | | 9:16 pm |
LG15
I'll do my best to give a quick summary of Lonelygirl15. It started out last summer. Apparently, a bunch of people starting doing video journals on youtube. There was one girl in particular that a bunch of people were watching. Anyway, this girl named Bree posted a video response to one of this girl's videos and LG15 was born. It started out with Bree introducing who she was in several of the videos. She also did some funny videos called "proving science wrong." We also get to meet her best friend, "Daniel" or "Danielbeast." He posts videos occasionally. Eventually, the people watching the videos grew suspicious. People saw "Bree" out in public, but she wasn't "Bree." Finally, the news broke that the LG15 series was a story being told through YouTube. Pretty clever if you ask me. Everyone is online these days, so it makes sense. Some people hated on the series and were very bitter to know the truth. However, a lot of people loved the story so much, they didn't care. I am one of those people. The story has become very exciting. Lots of twists and turns. Lots of very cool characters. There is an ARG, or an Alternate Reality Game, that is also tied in to the story. If I lived in California, I'd try to get involved. There are "drops" and puzzles that have to be solved to get clues to the story. A lot of people have created spinoff videos. Several are very good and I keep up with those. Others are funny and I look at them from time to time. There are 137 LG15 videos currently. This number does not count the ARG videos made by OpAphid, Tachyon, and Brother. You can watch the videos and find out more at: www.lonelygirl15.com | | Saturday, February 17th, 2007 | | 7:42 pm |
I really don't have anything to write about, but it has been so long since I've written anything on here...I feel like I should write something. I think a lot of people have kind of gotten tired of the whole online blogging thing...while others have totally exploded with it. It's not that I don't want to do live journal anymore..it's just lost its appeal or something. Nobody else is posting anymore, so there is nothing for me to read. None of us are posting, so we hardly check this thing anymore. I've really become very interested in the whole lonelygirl15 series. I've been watching it since September, right around the time that the news broke that it wasn't real. I never cared that it wasn't real. I think the story is good and it has captivated me for the past 6 months. Recently, the story took an awesome and exciting turn. I love it..can't wait for the next video to be posted! And wow..what about Anna Nicole Smith? Whether you like her or not, her story is a sad one with a sad ending. I just hope her baby daughter can have a more normal life. I want her to end up with whoever her real father is. If it's Howard, then fine. If it's Larry, then fine. The courts just need to hurry up and order the paternity tests with criminal contempt of court for those who do not comply. There is so much negative tension between Anna and her mother. What happened to cause so much pain? The rumor is that her mother allowed Anna to be sexually abused by her father or stepfather and possibly some of her step/half brothers. If that is true, that is just horrible and very, very sad. My prayer is a happy ending for the baby. My thoughts on Britney Spears: Again, another sad story. She is the girl who had it all. Beauty, fame, money, platinum albums. Then she gets married and everything goes down hill. Take a picture of her from 3 years ago and take a picture of her from now. The difference is catastropic. She looks 10 years older and she looks rough. The twinkle in her eye is gone. Even when she smiles for the camera, she is not really smiling. She no longer looks well put together. Her fashion still makes the headlines, but not because she is setting new styles. The past few months, she has partied hard, drunk herself to the point of exhaustion and vomit, and shown up in public with no underwear. She looks like a different person. Can one man have really changed a woman so much in so little time? Can we blame K-Fed? It's hard not to when you compare the pre K-Fed Brit to the post K-Fed Brit. She is self destructing. I hope she gets help soon, or her life will really hit rock bottom when she loses her children due to her actions. Okay, so that's my post for now. Nothing more to report. Will report again soon. Until then, take care. | | Thursday, September 21st, 2006 | | 4:31 pm |
Hold Fast
Yes, It's been ages since I have posted even a word on here. Why you ask? Well, there are many reasons I guess, but here I am again, so let's not get wrapped up in the ins and outs of my lack of journaling. I am going to paste the words of a song on here that has recently spoken to me. I am a deeply emotional person--if you know me well--you know that's probably an understatement. For whatever reason, music and my emotions have always gone together hand in hand. Music can touch my soul like nothing else can. Sometimes I feel like I could live in a song..sometimes in just a few bars of the song. Sometimes the melody of a song will remind me of something, maybe a life I wish I was living, I'm not sure, but I can never really put my finger on of what the melody reminds me. Other songs seem to be perfectly written to explain my feelings. Not just the lyrics, but every note and rhythm. So anyway, enough about me. Here is the song: To everyone who's hurting To those who've had enough To all the undeserving That should cover all of us Please do not let go I promise there is hope Hold fast Help is on the way Hold fast He's come to save the day What I've learned in my life One thing greater than my strife Is His grasp So hold fast Will this season ever pass? Can we stop this ride? Will we see the sun at last? Or could this be our lot in life? Please do not let go I promise you there's hope You may think you're all alone And there's no way that anyone could know What you're going through But if you only hear one thing Just understand that we are all the same Searching for the truth The truth of what we're soon to face Unless someone comes to take our place Is there anyone? All we want is to be free Free from our captivity, Lord Here He comes | | Sunday, May 14th, 2006 | | 2:50 pm |
If you didn't get to see your mom today, remember to give her a call. | | Tuesday, May 9th, 2006 | | 9:22 pm |
The Power of Prayer
When was the last time you prayed? Its amazing the things that can happen when you Pray. Its powerful stuff. Try it. | | Tuesday, April 11th, 2006 | | 3:20 pm |
Finally a Good Law
A Story From The Associated Press... Maine is taking the lead when it comes to making sure that pets don't suffer the fallout from domestic violence. Lawmakers have enacted a first-in-the-nation law that allows judges to include pets in protection orders for spouses and partners leaving abusive relationships. Law enforcement officials and animal welfare agents say it's not unusual for abusers to vent their rage against a partner's pet. They say abusers sometimes use violence or threats against pets as a way to keep their victims from leaving a relationship. Advocates hope the law helps battered women and others who aren't willing to abandon their animals to save themselves. Nancy Perry of the Humane Society of the United States said this is an "innovative, new approach" that makes "perfect sense" for people seeking protection. People who violate the protection orders will be fined and put in jail. | | Thursday, April 6th, 2006 | | 8:09 pm |
Do You Know Jesus? Maybe its time you get to know HIM
--From a song-- My savior loves, my savior lives, my savior's always there for me My God He was, My God He is, My God He's always gonna be My savior loves, my savior lives, my savior's always there for me My God He was, My God He is, My God He's always gonna be --(the next few lines are part song, part my thoughts)-- My savior loves, my savior lives, my savior's always there for me My God He was, My God He is, My God He's always gonna be... Living, Dying, Set me Free Living, Dying just for me.... (and you) | | Friday, March 31st, 2006 | | 1:35 pm |
I know I haven't updated in a while. When I first signed up with LJ, I wanted to update as much as possible so I could share stories, thoughts, poems, scriptures, etc., with everyone. Then I got busy, so LJ became a way to keep people updated. I figured, if I update, then everyone else will update too. We'll all be updating frequently and so we can stay in touch without staying in touch. Then, people stopped updating and it seemed a waste to update when nobody else was updating. Now, I'm just tired of the whole thing. LJ has lost its appeal I guess. I'm not saying I won't ever post again, because I will. My posts just keep shrinking and shrinking and shrinking. Eventually, they may strink to nothing and at that time, I'll just close up shop on LJ. And no, I won't be joining the myspace, friendster, or xanga hoopla.

That picture of Kermit playing the banjo (below) is actually kind of funny to me. I've had a banjo now for almost 3 years and I still haven't managed to pick it up and learn anything. It is almost like I forget I own it. I must admit, it is put up in a closet I never go in, but still, who forgets they have a musical instrument? Maybe I will pick it back up soon and start learning to play. It would certainly be refreshing to learn something new. | | Wednesday, March 1st, 2006 | | 9:25 pm |
Oh how the mighty do fall. Guess Coach K only cares about his top players. The rest of the scrub players can get run over by the mob for all he cares. | | Tuesday, February 28th, 2006 | | 11:36 am |
Nice Quiz
| You Are Kermit | 
Hi, ho! Lovable and friendly, you get along well with everyone you know.
You're a big thinker, and sometimes you over think life's problems.
Don't worry - everyone know's it's not easy being green.
Just remember, time's fun when you're having flies! |
