Alright so the last few days have been, well, weird, I'm starting to cope with the fact that I will be on my own for the next two and a half years, and that I have to grow up... It's been hard to be the usual crazy overly excited about everything Peter with so much on my mind, but I think I am doing alright, I have been saying very mean things to some people lately, and I'm sorry, I truly do not want to be a big jerk, however by nature I am. today was nice... I got to go to thanksgiving at ryan's grandparents house, which is very nice btw, and it was nice to finally meet his family, after us always being around mine... His family is very caring and are very nice, I enjoyed my time there... we played cranium there, and just for you who don't know, I like that game a lot, can get boring at times, but mostly goodtimes always come from cranium, I've never lost(after saying that I'll lose of course, Ryan and I pretty much spanked his family at it, but they were doing well once they got the hang of it. Ryan and I then went over to Nicole Coon's suprise b-day party, but of course we were late, we thought we were going to be in yakima, and well to be honest, I don't think I was formally invited... oh well, this was fun, I had a pleasant time dancing, wrestling, and such with everyone, and of course ryan and I were cruising to the party and away from the party with the ever famous 'no strings attached' cd... can't go wrong with that one!... ryan seemed to be quiter than usual which put me in a weird mood, so I was going crazy and he was being weird, so it was sort of awkward(much like that word! awkward? why on earth would you spell it that way? maybe I'm misspelling it, but whatever...awkward..heh) anyways, a few people went back to ryan's 'theater' to watch Moulin Rouge (ryan and I have watched this movie twice in the last three days... I like it a lot...) so we watched that and now I am here at my house which won't be my house for too much longer... 4 months? something like that...
I guess I have been in a weird mood, because people around me seem to not be in the best of moods or that I am around people I am not fully comfortable at this point of time... I think I am just shy or something...hehe me? shy? no! but yes I think I get shy when I am uncomfortable, or else I get REALLY weird... trust me REALLY wierd... or shy that is... I saw Val today for the third time since we had the (as ryan calls it) "breakup of the century"... The first time was very odd, but I think it was mostly on my part because I have no clue how she feels about me... the second was after the turkey bowl and that was just for a few seconds before I left to go home... the third was tonite at Nicole's (her sister) birthday party and at ryan's... She seemed a little angrier at me, but hopefully everything will be alright, I hope I didn't do anything to piss her off because she is a wonderful girl and I want to be on some sort of friendship level with her... well to everyone who is reading this...goodnight to you and hopefully I will see, or be in some sort of communication, with you soon!

Alright, I am sorry for not posting earlier, but here it is... (sorry about the quotes also, but hey, it's my blog and I can post when I want to! ha!) alright so recently I haven't been in the happiest of joyful moods that I usually am, this is for numerous reasons... I've been very stressed because I have no source of income whatsoever except my parents, which is pathetic, but whatever... I've also felt very 'left behind' or deserted... well first of all I want to apologize to all the people who find themselves leaving me behind because they probably didn't know... alright so this is why I feel this way... My parents are moving to Paris, France, which is awesome for them because they get to live in europe(one of their favorite places)... I feel deserted because they sort of shoved me off to college, and then are moving away... When I come home for any breaks from school, starting next summer I have no 'home'... I might live here with one of my friends or with my aunt and uncle, but it isn't 'home', it's not the same, my parents will be halfway across the world... second, I went to wazzu... I love wsu, but I often find myself very bored and lonely... I have no 'best friend' there, I just kind of move from group to group, depending on the day, no one is there to go between groups with me... all my life I have had a best friend to hang out with everyday and to learn about and to grow with, and just have fun... at wsu? nope, I guess I'm not truly capable of Living my own life... I need someone I completely trust and that completely trusts me, someone I can talk to, and you know, 'talk' to... All of my siblings are married and have moved out, which kind of left me behind, even though I completely understand... that is fine, I still see Levi quite a bit, but it's not the same... I feel far away from anyone who I truly got to know in High School, sure I have friends at wsu from ketridge, but none of them I was best friends with... I am becoming very good friends with jessica, which is awesome, but you know, I don't hang out with her all the time... I've been trying to get over that, but it's very hard with noone there... I won't show these emotions around anyone because I know people will feel sorry for me, don't, I hate people feeling that way for me... this is life... I am living it, don't feel bad for me living it, sure I'm going through a rough time, but be happy because this will help me to mature... things will get better, and I will learn to be my own man, to make money, to be able to live away from my parents, and truly be 'me'... so please don't feel sorry for me...

Alright recentlyI have felt bad because I haven't been in the best of moods and I think it might be rubbing off on my best friends... alright, so i saw alex for a night, which was great because he is a great guy, but I feel so distant from him... He now has a serious girlfriend(not that she is like a serious person, just that the relationship is serious :)) Ryan however has no girlfriend eventhough I believe he is the best bachelor out there, he doesn't agree, but I believe it to be true... if you know him, you might think the same way, a goodlooking christian guy, with money, a car, well dressed, very polite, good sense of humor, and much more... alright back to the topic... I think my bad mood went to ryan for a few days, but it is alright now... we seemed to be on each other's throats... We hung out tonite, watched moulin rouge and took pictures and looked at other pictures on his digital camera... It was good times... We both realized that we haven't been the nicest to the other, and just had a good time... he is an awesome person, but there are some parts of him that I just don't understand... I think that is why he is my best friend... He is great, but even the parts I don't understand I respect him for... and if you are lost right now reading this, I'm sorry, it is nothing bad at all, I swear!

I think right now all I need is a friend, a true friend, one that will just be there to have a good time with, tonite was just what I needed, but I need more... I try to be a good person, to be that friend that anyone can go to to have a great time, to have a serious discussion with, or just to sit and stare at each other(although that doesn't happen very often)... I love to help people through things and to help to make people smile... I was talking to my grandma today and she said "Peter, you're a sweetie" and I asked why she said that, and she responded "People always ask how you are doing, when the next time you are coming home, and such, they like to be around you" I thanked her for saying such a kind thing then explained "well, I always hated feeling like an outsider, so I try and make people comfortable around me" this statement is so very true... I want people to be comfortable around me... I want to be people's refuge... someone they can go to... someone they trust... I don't know how many people take me up on this, but I believe the ones that do are glad they did...

goodnight everyone and happy thanksgiving... I am thankful for God teaching me lessons everyday and for his great love that he has lavished upon me, and the fact that anyone can get this love if they just ask...

Alright, so today was fun because I woke up at a normal hour... 1:30 P.M. man that was sweet... after waking up we ate lunch aka breakfast and then took the bus illegally to downtown and went shopping with ryan, man I absolutely LOVE old navy, except I have completely redone my wardrobe by them(pretty much) but I am running out of things to buy! the horror! yeah, except track jackets and sweatshirts... I need more of those... then we came back and ate dinner with kristin bofferding at a thai-vietnamese place... it was pretty good... then we came back and then went to St. Mark's cathedral which was cool, very nice to talk to God in a place with song and silence at the same time...very weird, but relaxing... then I came back and sat online for a while, talking to a few people I haven't in a while... fun stuff... the wyatt came home and I met him, he's a cool dude... very nice... alright well I'm gonna go...

Alright so today I woke up way early...nine o'clock....jeez that is a lot earlier than I remember it being... I then went to the airport and was expecting to sit in the airport for 26 hours until my flight... but the lady who helped me was an awesome and got me a ticket for a flight 24 hours before mine without any charge... this was awesome... so I am home now...well I am at least on the westside... I am at ryan's place right now... chillin, you know... Alright, so this day was awesome for many different reasons... one I am home without having to spend a day in the spokane airport... two I got to hang out with both my best friends(alex and ryan)... man I miss having them near me while at school... I think often times I get lonely without having a best friend near... three I got to see a bunch of people and just chill with them... four I got to have bubble tea for the first time... it is quite good! and all the hype... five after bubble tea we were standing in a circle just trying to decide what to do when this guy comes up and asks us if this is a prayer circle... we were a little shocked at first because he was obviously drunk and at first I thought he was making fun of us, but soon I found myself holding the hands of my neighbors standing in a circle on the corner of a street in seattle... how weird... I am supposed to be in the airport, but God has brought me here to live this... This guy told us that he hadn't been to church in a while, but really wants to get back involved and how great it was for us to pray with and for him.... this lasted for a good half an hour... probably closer to fourty five minutes... I like standing in a circle praying and talking about God, but after midnight on a corner in seattle when it is under freezing outside, it got cold quick... I really hope that this guy will make good decisions because he made it clear that he loved God, but had fallen... six I am going shopping tomorrow with ryan(we are such women), but I am in need of some winter clothes... so these will be nice to get... anyways, I am enjoying being home, but I do miss my parents because they are great people... I hope this week goes well... goodnight everyone...oh! seven, God loves me... and you... and everyone else... I think the true lesson is to see the true power of Love... I am becoming more and more convinced of the true power of love...

alright, so this is definitely a good time... let me tell you my situation... right now it is fridray and most of everyone has left of thanksgiving break... the few who are left are leaving tonite after classes(good students) or tomorrow morning, like my ride... I'm leaving wazzu for spokane airport... I know what you are thinking... "spokane airport? that is friggin sweet! I love airports!" I feel the same way... I love airports... but this might change that... hopefully not though... John and erik (the two guys I am going with to the airport) have flights saturday afternoon, me however have a flight sunday afternoon, but this was the only ride I could find... so... 20 something hours in an airport... wohoo! this sounds like a blast... I will get through it, hopefully will have a good time too, it would be a lot easier to handle if I had someone there with me... anyone that I could potentially have a good time with would be nice, but hopefully I'll be able to fly stand-by on saturday and get there early... but maybe not... whatever... it will be a good learning experience... gives me time to think about who I am, who I want to be, and how I can go about to become that person I want to be... if you are reading this, please pray that I get to fly stand-by... thank you... Peter

the seattle snow is so weak! please...we got two inches in two hours..bring it! alright...but yes it did snow today, which was pleasant, except my nose doesn't like it and my face turns bright purple after walking in it for about 3 minutes or less... ugh... whatever... and on to the quotes!

E(not advanced anymore): ticket to heaven by 3 doors down

alright, I wanted to add this on last night, but I was having a conversation with ryan, doing math homework, and getting ready for bed... alright here it is, and this adds on to the thought below. I wrote that things go wrong and that not everyone thinks of love the same way. this is very true, but I forgot to add in the fact that the best people in your life that show love will make mistakes also. Everyone makes mistakes. I do all the time. What matters is the realization that we have done wrong, and try to go against that. Everyone makes mistakes. What we as friends must do when our friends fall is that we need to encourage them to get through what they are struglling with, lend a helping hand, and most of all we need to realize that we ourselves are not perfect either and forgive them. no one is perfect!(except jesus) forgiveness is not just a free reign that the event never happened, because it did happen, forgive, but do not forget. oh, one last thing... especially in today's society I believe the toungue is the hardest thing to tame(duh). Many times when emotion flares we say things that are mean and rude, eventhough truly in our hearts we did not want to say that. this happens all the time and we have to be forgiving to others and figure out how the truly feel. Alright, well I have to go to math right now... goodbye for now everyone, and please be forgiving to people.

Alright, so tonite I talked for over an hour to one of my best friends here... Jessica VanVleet... (these are my thoughts and not necessarily jessica's)... I know what you are thinking... 'you two are friends?' and yes we are, we are pretty good friends nowadays and I really enjoy having her in my life... I was talking to jessica about life.... a very broad subject, but we hit it VERY well... Jessica and I are very.... thoughtful... not like we think about great things to do for other people (although she does that quite well and I am trying to) we think a lot and contemplate situations in our head... this can be very helpful in some situations, but also can be very nerve-racking in others... the difference between those situations is the worrying variable... it is helpful if we do not worry about it and make decisions on our thoughts... if we worry about it, the worry clouds our mind from making the best decision and we sit and try to think about what to do but all we end up doing is worrying about what they will think, or how they will react, when really we need to make a decision act upon it and have them react the way they will, this is what I call relationships... so many times we worry about things that we miss out on living... for this I find relationships amusing... watching others it is relevant to see their personalities throught relationships with them(duh)... people are awesome... love is awesome, because that is why we start a relationship isn't it? Don't we start a relationship to love the other person? this love may be a friendly love in which we all need, or it may develop into a deeper love. is there life without love? I don't know, but I think it would be pointless. but if there was no love, would there be hate? oooh, deep!

Now... 2 hours after leaving jessica I find myself talking to my best friend ryan about masks... not like the movie, not like the puerto rican tight ones with horns and stuff(eventhough those are awesome!), not the physical mask, but the personality, emotional, spiritual mask that we put on when we are around anyone... and yes I do mean anyone... Not wearing any masks and truly being yourself in all situations is tough... I personally try to be honest with everyone, not to hide away my true feelings, but sometimes I get caught speechless because I do not want to come off weird or incensitive or anything else to someone else... but if everyone is defending themselves from being hurt or hurting others, then how many people do you truly know? I can't say that I know a lot... I probably know truly a half dozen or less, which is sad considering how many people I talk to on a daily basis... I think the thing we must do is try to be ourselves and remember that some people are jerks and don't think the same way you do... some people hurt you, it is true, no matter how much you defend yourself someone will hurt you and if you do not allow people to know you, then why are you living? because that is not love... not love for you... love for your mask... and if you don't talk to anyone, then no one can hurt you right? wrong... you hurt yourself by staving yourself of love, there is no life without love, so please, open up to people try and love them, if they hurt you... it is ok, that will happen, but you need to look forward to new people you will love and will love you... and if you truly find someone who thinks the same way you do then nothing in this world can stop you! Love is a power that no one understands, but no one is supposed to understand... kind of like god's power and wisdom... Love between people only exists when you show your true colors... you have to expose yourself in order to feel the awesome power of love, but I cannot stress this enough, it is not always love... so then how do you tell love from something else? I have no clue other than to figure it out by feelings... Bad things happen, and we can do nothing about it, so... lofe goes on... love it and do not dwell in the past of what has gone wrong, or get down because things will go wrong in the future... but know that good things happen all the time.... if you live your life well then the small stumble seems horrible, but notice that you live well and that bad things happen and move on, but learn from every situation... forgive yourself but do not forget about it, learn from it and move on.... that is life... and well my thoughts on this turned into quite the blog entry and if you are still reading this then I applaud you for your devotion...goodnight everyone... I still have math homework due tomorrow, so for now....goodnight....P.S. I put the pro in procrastination! wohoo!

Alright, I am looking forward to having a week off... that is pretty much it... I think some others are too... I think I want to finish everything before break so that I don't have to worry about them during break(not that I would do that very much anyways)... yeah, fun stuff...

Alright so tonite was so nice... it was EXACTLY what I needed today... What did you do Peter? you may be asking(or not)... Well tonite was a 'praise jam' at the Presbyterian church in pullman... I went by myself because others have an uber hard week coming up... I don't mind going alone, but I also enjoy good company... So I went and pulled on the main door... it was locked... so I knocked... no one came... I didn't think I was THAT early, if early at all!... so then I just waited outside the doors for someone else to come... A lady came and said "Are the doors locked?... OH! this door is open." I looked about three feet away from where I was standing and on the same wall I was leaning on... so me feeling like a dumb-a.... went inside and then talked to Pastor Dan who is completely awesome guy (he remebered my name from last week and asked if laura was with me... how does he remeber)... then I went inside and sat down in MY seat (the seat I've sat in the last two weeks...and I'm not claiming it MINE!)... The praise band started by playing awesome god... after that they took requests... We sang a few songs that I knew, they also sang a few that I didn't know, which was nice... I sat right about in the middle of everyone(about 20 people I'd say)... and it was actually really nice to sing praise... Unlike this morning I was actually able to hit a few notes correctly and was quite pleased with my singing and I'm pretty sure God liked it too... Afterwards I thanked and talked with some of the band... the guitarist asked if I played any instruments and of course I said I'm sorta trying to learn how to play guitar... He then said he was leaving in two years and needs to train someone new to be the guitarist for the band... I said I'd be willing to learn because guitar has always been something that interests me, but I never was taught how... we then said goodbye leaving open the possibility for me training to be the next guitarist in the praise band (two years from now...not that big of a deal)... I personally think it would be awesome to do such a thing... Leading praise... Might happen, maight not... God will decide... I'm glad I went and glad at the chance of leading worship...

Quote #2 for today!
"I am only here for a little while, would you like to take me out tonite?"

Alright so one thing I have noticed over the last two days... a LOT of people are procrastinating(I am one of 'em)... So I started thinking? what makes procrastination so appealing? the fact that you don't have to do your work now? that is my reason... I don't want to do it right now, it can wait... but hold on... I have something to do later! oh well, I can still get it done... alright... Is it the fact that we do not want to face the responsibility of work?... yeah, I said it... Guess what? Life doesn't get easier... Later in life you will have to go to work everyday, pay bills, buy a house, car, food, and utilities, and much more... plus you'll probably have a family... which is a huge blessing and is awesome, but also stressful... what I'm trying to get at is that nothing in life is easy, but it doesn't help to put it till later, even if you feel ease when you are procrastinating... it'll come back to you... and then it'll be harder... in the long run it is better to do things and then take a break, eventhough it may not be what you want to do now... think of the long run and not the short one... have a nice day everyone... I'm still trying to enforce this lesson in my own life.

The winner of the last quote? Ryan "I hate stairs" Douglas

His answer? New deep by John Mayer

Quote for today!
"Up in outer space is like the wild wild west"

Alright so, I came home from my meeting with my english teacher and my meeting with my academic advisor, to find I had two messages on my answering machine... which is weird, because I usually don't get messages... so I listen to them... Levi and Ryan... I'm fine with that... two of my favorite peoples... as I listened to them, I noticed a similarity... Both of them assumed I was still sleeping when they called... ok they called at like 11:30 and noon... alright, I am lazy, but not usually that lazy... If it is anywhere after 10(a.m.) and someone calls I should wake up... it was noon!... I would have woken up and talked to them if I was here, but thanks for that guys... nice to know my sleeping habits are well known... Levi's message said that he and Jocelyn (his wife) were going to come and visit me... AWESOME! but wait there's a drawback! There is almost nothing to do here over the weekends... we had a good time... I showed them around campus a little bit... we watched elf...which was suprisingly funny and very entertaining... I hope to go and see it again... plus... here the movie tickets are flat out five bucks... beats that 8.25 in seattle... Then we went to dinner at pizza pipeline with Laura... It was good times... Then I got home, Levi and Jocelyn left... and I realized how boring my life really is... but i didn't have a good time... contrary to today's quote... I just sat here and did nothing... I wish I had a test to study for or something... but no... nothing... pure boredomness... and the peoples I wanted to hang out with were studying, living somewhere else, driving home, or playing video games... which left me with nothing... pure boredomness... is that a word? probably not, but I guess that is why I'm not majoring in English... oh! but I did sign papers to get myself certified into the math department at semester, which means I am now property of a bunch of nerds... oh well...

alright so for now I am going to only do a quote because it is hard to keep track of everything, and right now I don't have the motivation...

The winner of the last riddle....Anelecia Hannah

the answer? Heroine
The answer to the last quote? Oscar wilde...

quote for today.
"I'm gonna find out how boring I am, and have a good time."

these quotes are from music I listen to...name the artist and song...good luck!

I have been given gifts in many areas of my life....I can do many of things which I often overlook... for example there is the fact that I am able to walk to class everyday (schooldays that is, don't worry...they don't have detention or saturday school in college)(at least not to my knowledge)... I often overlook the very simple gifts ggod has given me...I can see, hear, talk, move, and do a lot of other things.... I can think through problems as I am posed with them...I can think about such things as this thought (does that make sense?)... I can do so many things and I do them everyday... is using these gifts glorifying God? that is my question... how often do I think..."God I am walking to class because of you, thank you." I almost never think about that... What has God blessed you with? Probably a lot more than you think!

Alright so in the last few weeks Ryan and I have been doing (at least trying to do) a daily bible study... and this thought is just about that... if you do a daily bible study, great!, that is awesome keep it up and make sure you are learning from it!... If you are not doing one then I STRONGLY encourage you to find someone that you trust to keep you accountable and if you need someone I am always here...heck if you want to do one with me I am more than willing... Ryan and I have been reading different parts of the bible and we even got through esther together, which was nice, but I think reading different things is better... Right now I am in Ecclesiastes which is very challenging for me because Solomon talks about how everything on this world and of this world is worthless and meaningless... It is hard for me to understand, and I have tried to plot out my thoughts a couple times, but I keep getting lost... I like this verse though (and so do the people who write praise songs apparently....) "Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few." I really like this verse because it really sets me in my place... I kinda take it as "dude, you have no clue what you are talking about...just shut up" Truly I am not wise, I think I really understand that when I go into a library or bookstore and think 'jeez, so much knowledge, what do I know? could I even fill a book?' I am not a genius, I merely know what I have experienced or have seen in my life...which when I think about it is not very much compared to everyone in the world...therefore why should I blabber on about things I do not know or even begin to understand in this world... sure I have knowledge in some areas, but am I wise in any areas, nor is anyone.

Ok, so, noone has answered either the last quote or the last riddle...so I will leave them up until next time...yeah, cmon people...

I'm starting to wonder if I give enough of my life to God...because I guess I could say that I am in college in order to get a job in order to support my family and my church(tithing) and my community being a good infuence on it....but are those my standards and dreams for my life or is that what God truly wants from me?...Let's say God wants me to quit college and go on missions for the rest of my life...Am I able to say "God, You are my God and I will ever praise you?" and be able to trust God enough to do that...not worry about an income, not worry about a family...just not worry and have complete trust in him? I think that is really hard to do and I don't know if I can do that....I also think it will dissapont some people though....Your thoughts?

alright so tonite has been fun, and very educational, and as I see it experience is the best way to learn...which sucks in the short run, but is very nice once it has blown over... alright so let's say one of your best friends is struggling with a sin (doesn't matter the type)... This sin is getting the best of them and you can see them starting to not give a crap about stopping... This person has also been a believer in Christ and you want them to see that they are sinning and that they need to stop...what is the best way to get them to see it your way?

Alright so I see that the best way to make them understand is through confrontation, it is very hard, but I think for someone who has fallen into a sin and doesn't see directly that it is wrong needs to be urged to come back otherwise they will continue...It seems obvious that they can't do it on their own so they do need some type of input... but I think that if it has been going on for a while then it's obvious that they are ignoring what some people are saying about it....I think one of the only things you can do is try to be humble about it....admit that you have done wrong, but learned from it, and now strive to be good and holy... "we both have made mistakes and will make more, but the difference between us is that I am striving to be holy in god's eyes and praise him, while you are delibrately going against his word." or someething like that...it will have background info before, but that is what it comes down to in my opinion.....

After that confrontation, I believe, that is all you can do...because it shows the person that you are one who cares about their life and wants what is best for them....If they are smart enough they will see that you are right and that they are sinning and that they need help and hopefully they will thank you for it, but that is not how it always works...depending on the person... but I think that is what needs to be done.

Tell me your thoughts...

Ok so today was uber nice...I went to all my classes, which was nice...but the last class of the day was definitely the best because I found out that, eventhough I haven't gone to economic lecture since the test before the last (three weeks), we had a test on wednesday...I took it and was the first one of about three hundred to finish...three classes in one lecture...we all have different discussion sections....and so I went to my discussion section today...and my T.A. told me I did really well on it! so I went with her after class and checked my grade and found out I only missed one problem out of 25 and that I had the highest grade of all three sections...first one done with the best grade in the class...I share this title with only one other person out of three hundred...fun stuff, then I came home and my internet went out like five times...ugh that is annoying, and then I went and ate dinner by myself and then came back and borrow zoolander from one of my friends...then I went over to Laura's dorm room and watched it with her...and then we decided to watch another movie so we borrowed how to lose a guy in 10 days...two really good and funny movies...then laura and I started talking...not that we didn't talk during the movies, it's just that now nothing else was going on...Laura and I happen to have an immense amount of similarities in our lives and it is kind of weird, but very nice...she is an awesome girl that I love to hang out with...Although she does get headaches and migraines fairly often, so if you read this and you would like to pray for her for that, that would be lovely... well I thin that is it...oh! after the movies Laura, Summer, Katherine and I went to flix, and had some food and drinks....good times... oh! I bet you're wondering about the records...The econ test is a new record for me skipping a class and still getting the best grade in the class...first of all I haven't ever gotten the highest score on a test(maybe once before), and during the movies I did not drink anything, which is very out of character for me, and I believe that the duration from the beginning to the end is the longest I have gone here without having something to drink! crazy! have a wonderful day everyone...

This week has been uber hectic...I had 4 tests and an essay due on tuesday and wednesday, that was a bunch of fun...a lot of studying and not a whole lot of that thing called sleep, which I still haven't gotten very much of even after the "days from hell!" I've had homework to do and well I really enjoy the friends I am getting to know... I have stayed up late the last few days talking with some of these friends who happen to be some of the most fun, awesome, people I know. I also enjoy very much the people on my floor, they have their own quirks, but overrall they are great to be around, always a good time... I like it here at wsu, eventhough it is considered to be a "crappy" school, I am having the time of my life and I really love the classe I have... I get to learn a lot, which I enjoy, but most of all, I enjoy being surrounded by friends. mmm...friends...speaking of which...ryan douglas and alex shafer happen to be some of the two best guys I know, they have a lot of similarities, but suprise me all the time with their own quirks...which I think are awesome.... as one of my awesome friends here Laura Warren states "i believe in love. that it is a force, and it is the most important thing in the world. without it, we are nothing, living for no purpose"... I believe this to be true, because even as far back as adam and eve, we were made in order to love and praise God. Without love we would not exist, and love for one another on this world is what we all seek in our lives, a spouse, a husband or a wife, that is perfect for you, but without love, no one can be perfect for another, because love knows that a relationship takes both people being able to change for the other through love. Have a wondeful day everyone, and I hope I hear and talk to you all soon.

ok so this game is the answer the riddle game, I'll give a riddle and the same as the other game I will post the winner, and the answer, unless no one tries because then it is dumb...yeah...here's the first...

Riddle #1!
If you were running in a race and you passed the person in second place what place would you now be in?

start with an easy one, and they (hopefully) will get harder. good luck!

ok this is how it will work...I will mention the person who answers first to this in the next day's quote... reply be e-mail, first come first serve...the answer will also be given, unless no one responds...this requires communication to work, and hopefully enough people read this to make it fun...but probably not...do it anyways! here is the first one...maybe you can be the first ever winner of the guess the quote game!!!!

Quote #1!!!
"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."

who said it?

What do you call a dog with no legs? Doesn't matter, he won't come anyways!

ok so earlier today I was thinking about how well I know each of my friends(not necessarily individually) and I was thinking about their favorite color, food, drink, and such...but then it hit me... how important are the facts in a relationship? How does me knowing Ryan's favorite color make me a better friend? or how much closer does me knowing Alex's favorite band make me to him? It is good to know background information, but I believe that in the long run these things will work out themselves and will come up naturally, without having to stress about truly knowing your friends without knowing everything...does that make sense to anyone except me? hit me back with any thoughts on the issue..or thoughts on anthing for that matter....

Tonite was well I was procrastinating quite well...I have two math tests tomorrow, both of which I feel I will do pretty well on, but I still would like to study before them. I studied for calculus 3 and then started talking to people online...having conversations with people which made me realize how little I truly know about people. Then I was invited to Flix to eat with Laura and Jessica, who happen to be two of my favorite girls, they always seem to have a good time, and well I needed a good laugh right about now in my life and it was absolutely lovely. It ended with a few tears because one of their friends Jason might be going to Iraq next week, which is scary. Now I am sitting in my room, chillin, trying not to do my studying for linear algebra, but I probably should do it.

ok, so you're probably wondering what the heck I'm tlaking about...here it is:
