"Nitwit, Blubber, Oddment, Tweak"

* I saw the Harry Potter 7 trailer yesterday. It was awesome. Although, I am really worried they might botch the final scene. And if they do, I will be seriously ticked off.

* Eclipse came out today. I don't know if I want to try and stomach the horridness that is Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson's acting. Or their horribly awkward kissing scenes. But for the sake of Jacob Black, I know I will.

* I have realized that people really suck sometimes. I guess I was a little naive before today. See, I thought a certain car wreck I had was done with, since it happened 7 months ago. Now someone who seemed nice is lying about it all, trying to get more money. It just blew my mind when I heard. I don't understand how people can be that way.

* Writing is perfect therapy. I've been working on a book, just sort of for fun right now. I had an idea and I'm running with it. Maybe one day I will publish it, who knows.

* Indian Spiced Chai tea, combined with the writing, is even better.

* Harry Potter always has the ability to cheer me up. (I know I've said this about ten times, but it is still true.)

* Electric President is an awesome new band I've recently discovered, courtesy of Pandora. Music is wonderfully therapeutic too.

* When I'm upset, I go on a hardcore cleaning spree. I think I finished my room in about twenty minutes today.

* Sometimes random words just float into my head from nowhere. Today were banshee, flipper, and mud. (Feel free to think I'm crazy, but you know it happens to you too sometimes. Right...?)

*God is awesome.

End.

Musings After Midnight

Hello, Blogger world. It is currently 1:19 am, and I can't sleep. Odd. I've never updated this late before, and no I am not on medication. So I should be pretty lucid. I guess we'll find out.
I am feeling strange right now--let me see if I can put this into words.
I feel like I'm on the edge of something, or in some sort of transitional period in between my old life and the future. I only have ONE YEAR of school left. What on earth?! I feel like I just began college. I'm not ready to be finished. Plus, I have no clue where I'll be in a year and that is beyond scary.
This summer is just strange in itself. My family lives in Birmingham now, but all my friends are still in MS. Needless to say, I feel pretty out of the loop and isolated. I mean, I was around people my age at church here when we visited, but I hesitate to get super involved and meet people because I know I'll just be leaving in August. I also went to my sisters' church in Tuscaloosa, but I can't be there every week either. So it is just really weird.
I also feel like I've grown so much in the past year. The situation my family has been in is a major reason for this. I feel stronger in my faith because of it all, but I still just get so tired. I am ready for it all to be over, for my Dad's sake.
Sometimes I just want to go away. Somewhere far away to start completely over. Can't I just find the portal to Narnia or something?
I know that is sort of depressing. But it's late, so cut me some slack, alright?
Well enough of the borderline-pathetic daydreaming about climbing into Narnia or Harry Potter world. :D
I know God is in control and always will be. I just have to trust that. And hey, even though life is changing for me, who says it isn't going to be some wonderful changes? Life happens in different phases, after all. I know I'll have to move on from the college/Mississippi life phase soon. And I know God will give me the strength when the time comes. I find this verse from John so comforting. (I put it on FB and I'm gonna put it on here too)

"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33

Ok, no more musings. Goodnight, world. Hopefully I was sort of, almost lucid? :)
