What a beautiful day. It's gorgeous. In the 80s, nice breeze, no cloud in the sky... I'm lovin' it.
Church with m'boy this morning. It was good. I started feeling sick during the worship time, which was weird. Then I totally embarrased myself during lunch. But that's okay. So then, we sat outside the library for about 3 hours, just hanging out. It was cool. Then I came back here and talked to Addi and my parents. And now, here I am.
Drinking Danimals Rockin' Raspberry yogurt, and eating some carrots. Yum. Peanut Butter and Jelly sounds gross. I don't want to eat it for dinner. Again. Since Addi was gone this last week, I didn't have anyone to eat in the ARA with for lunch three of the five days, so I had PB&J in my dorm. Blah.
I've really been struggling lately with knowing God. Like, when I praise Him, do I mean it? And I might have mentioned this in my last post - I'm not sure. But the other night, I just wrote out a prayer to Him, like I used to, and it was good. I just talked to Him.
I'm falling in love with Jeremy Camp again. I forget how much I like him. And I like him a lot, I decided.

Life Is A Highway. I Want To Ride It All Night Long.
So, yeah.
It's windy today. I like it. It's like Alaska in September. But instead, I'm in Oklahoma, and it's the end of October, and there is no snow on the ground, and you can still walk around without a coat on. And the leaves on the ground are all country, and I totally go out of my way to step on them. Some of them are crunchier than others, and the good ones make up for the bad ones.
I sent a birthday card to Jeff, and had to put like 6 stamps on it. It made me giggle. Kristin helped me write him a birthday poem, then I drew him a birthday picture.
"Ow, I kneed my chin."
"You what?"
"I kneed my chin."
"Your chin?"
"Yeah."
"You need your chin?"
"Yeah, when I sat down."
"What? Kristin, everyone needs a chin."
"No, I KNEED my chin. With my knee."
"Oh."
[MUCH LAUGHTER]
That's silly. It was in fact very humerous.
I took two naps today. No, it was just one. But it was nice. I woke up too soon because I had to go to French. But that's okay. French was...not really fun, but it wasn't horrible. English was interesting today - we talked about privacy.
So tomorrow, Shaun and I are going to a Catholic mass/service/thing. He wants to go, so I was like, "Yeah, I'll go with you." Then we're going to dinner and a movie. So it's a date, I guess.
"What's so funny?"
"Nothing."
"No, what?"
"NOTHING."
"Does the word 'nothing' have something to do with it?"
"Well...yes."
Hehe - good times.
"One One Nine"
"I'll tell you in two years."
I can't believe my first semester of college is over halfway through. Crazy.
Tomorrow is Fall Preview Day on campus. I'm really excited for the freshmen that will be here next year...already. Maybe it's because I didn't get to visit the campus on a special day, but I think Saturday will be cool. I'll have to think of something collegiate to do. Or something completely random and funny. Kristin and I are thinking that we might climb a tree and throw water balloons at people when they walk past. Or maybe throw them out my window, and yell at them in the Smoker Voice. Because THAT would be funny, too.
I don't know when Addi gets back. It's been weird not having her here.
I love Rascal Flatts.
Cody and I are trying to decide what concert to go see. None of his friends want to come up to OKC. Blah on them. I'll see if Shaun and Addi want to go see a concert in TX with me sometime. And maybe Chris before he leaves OBU at the end of the semester.
That's really sad that he's leaving. Really. He's a cool kid.
It's so weird. Like, in high school, I had a really hard time just talking to guys. Except for Tony, and occasionally Cody and Chris. But I don't know...here, I'm okay. For the most part. And in high school, no one ever liked me. But here, guys do. Like, that sounds totally stuck up, but Jonathan and Shaun got into a "fight" because Shaun and I are dating now. Shaun and Addi's theory is that it's becuase Jonathan liked/likes me. And now, Jonathan isn't talking to me. Like, at all. What a girl.
LAME.
Ha - KC is funny. She makes me giggle. She's dressing up as that chick from Pirates of the Carribean - Elizabeth Swan? So yeah, she made her own dress in her dorm room, used eye shadow to dye this wig blondish/brown, and bought those fake stick-on boobs to give herself some cleavage. And she just walks down the hall and is like, "My boobs bounce when I walk now!"
That's so funny. She cracks me up.
HAHA - I said crack. :)

Clothes.
So Saturday night, I was washing clothes, and as a favor to Kristin, I threw her new skirt in with my white clothes...and the purple part of her skirt got onto my white clothes. So now, I hate two pink T-shirts, a pink tanktop, pink underwear, pink socks, and a pink bra. AND my PJ pants? The ones with the sheep on them? They're pink, too.
I am not a pink person.
But I thought it was really really funny. When I opened the washing machine and saw all the pinkness, I started laughing. So I was in the laundry room, by myself, laughing for like 10 minutes. Then I told Kristin. And she laughed, too.

Why Do You Do The Things You Do?
Our date is tonight. I'm rather excited. But kind of nervous. And I'm not sure why. Probably becase really, apart from two weeks ago, I've never been on a date.
I spent the night in Addi's room last night. I was exhausted. But I spent a bit of time just writing random facts on people's facebook walls. Which was so much fun. Then we woke up this morning at some crazy hour to go see Shaun run the Bisonathon. And we stayed there for like 10 minutes, and went back to Addi's room and feel asleep, then like 40 minutes later, Shaun calls and is like, "Hey, I finished. Did you guys go back to bed?" And it was kind of funny. Because we totally had. And we slept until about 12:45 this afternoon.
I got an e-mail today saying that they don't have my Prichard Scholarship application in. Which is frustrating, because I thought I had turned it in, but now that I had stopped to think about it, I'm not sure I did. But no, becauase I remember having my Pastor sign something for a scholarship for me. I'll call my Mom.
Today's her birthday, so I'll call her anyway.
I have to write a paper on abortion today. And I don't know what other h-dub I have. But I'm okay with that. It'll all get done. Unless it doesn't. Either way, though, meh. No, I need to finish it all and stay caught up.
SO GLAD Fall Free Days are coming up. So glad. Not sure how content I am with where I'm going. But that's okay. Hopefully it will be fun. I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving. That will be amazing. I have invitations from my two closest friends on campus, and I'd love to go to either of their houses...especially Addi's. :)
I hope it rains today. I hope it not only rains, but that it POURS down. I love the rain.

Heaven Fills My Thoughts.
So last night, I was laying in bed thinking.
About life.
Which isn't that new for me, but still.
I thought (and I've thought this thought before) that it would be nice if someone followed me around and recorded everything I've ever done. It would be amazing if they just video-taped my life, and somehow got all of my thoughts and emotions and fears on the tape as well.
So then, I thought that it would be cool if in Heaven, in the mansion that God's building for me, if there was a special cabinet by the TV or whatever with video footage of my life in it. And I can just invite people over, and we can rewatch my life. And I could hear my thoughts and experience my emotions all over again.
But then I was thinking that when I'm in Heaven, why would I want to relive my life here on earth? Won't I be so stoked just talking to Jesus that the things of this world won't matter anymore?
But what if I don't know the people in Heaven that I know now? What if there are so many people in Heaven that I never see Hannah, or Jade, or Kristina, or Addi, or Shaun, or my family? What if I never pass them on the golden streets? Will we still have friends in Heaven? Sleepovers? Dates? Movie nights?
Are there different cities in Heaven? Can my sisters and I go for random road trips to other places there? Or is it all like one big city? And when God makes the Earth new again, where is everyone going to live? Will I live in Alaska, or Oklahoma? Or in Israel or somewhere else?
And what if someone on the perfect earth sins? What if we mess up again? Then what? Does it all start over again? Is there temptation on a perfect earth? THere has to be, because the Garden of Eden was perfect, but Satan was there to tempt Eve. Ah, but I forgot that Satan is going to be locked up forever. Except for those 10,000 years. What's up with that? I wonder what happens during that time. Are people still going to have children on the perfect earth?
I can't wait for forever to begin.

Okay.
I'm not sure what this post will be about. I guess we'll see.
I love college. I love the people, and the classes, and the relationships, and the activities, and the randomness and everything. (Ooh, I like this song: "Herself" by Everyday Sunday. I hadn't listened to it before. It's on my "Favorites" list in iTunes now.)
I got more minutes for my phone, and I think Mom was upset that I went through the last set so quickly. So I'm going to try to ration these ones out.
My roomie was here for like 15 minutes yesterday that I saw, and I haven't seen her since. Which isn't that abnormal, but still. I know she's been here, because I've started using her chair to step up onto my bed, and her chair's been pushed in since I last used it. Took two naps today, though, which I thoroughly enjoyed. :) I'm not sure if I slept, or if I just like zoned out. But either way, I liked it.

Weekend.
Saturday night was fun.
Lucie at Cracker Barrel: "Are y'all on a date?"
Me, Shaun, Addi, Jonathan: "NOOOOO."
Hehe. Good times with yummy food and cool (and amazingly sweet) people. Driving with Jonathan's "boom boom" into OKC. Hair flying everywhere in the wind. Taking self-portraits with Addison. Not being able to find a parking spot. Seeing a movie.
JOnathan: "Oh, I can't marry Melissa."
Addi: "Why not?"
Jonathan: "Because she's pregnant with Shaun's child."
Me: "WHAT?!?!"
Shaun: "Huh?"
Walking around Brick Town afterwards at midnight.
Addi: "Okay, we can't get raped now."
Me: "How so?"
Addi: "Because the guys are with us...hey Jonathan! Quit walking so fast! We're gonna get raped!"
Taking pictures, watching drunk people dance to a Blues Band.
Drunk girl: "OW! Two hot ladies!"
Driving back home next to him in the backseat. Going to Wal Mart. Having my "pimp" aka Ms. Janelle, buy us cake with the Wal Mart gift card she sent me last week. Getting milk/juice to go with it. Back to campus. Sitting at Raley. Five forks, four people, one cake platter. Yum....Lots of stars. Laughing. Taking more pictures. Guys climbing trees. Addi and I laughing about them. Shaun "falling" off of the platform at Raley. Staying out until 3:30.
Talking to him the next night...deciding it was our first "date"...hehe :)
