"If you knew the world was going to blow up, and you could take only one other person in a space chuttle to another planet to save yourselves, who would you take?"
"Shaun, so we could re-populate the new world. My second choice would be Jesse McCartney, because he's hot, and because he could serenade me while we were repopulating."
"I'd choose Mr. Clean so we'd be a clean race of people. Brad Pitt's my second choice, but maybe if Billy Graham had a grandson, I'd choose him, 'cus he'd love Jesus and be hot too. It could happen...or a boyscout."
"'Cus he'd always be prepared."
"You'd have to do a lot of re-populating to be ahead of the new world."
"Jesse will have to do a lot of serenading."
"It's a good thing he just wants your beautiful soul."
"Which country would you re-populate first?"
"Papua New Guinea"
So, Addi and I talked at about 1:30 in the morning on Thanksgiving morning. It was so great. And we told Shaun. And I'm pretty sure he was a little weirded out, but that's okay. He thought it was funny. And so did we. :)

Dreams And Beauty.
I had a dream while I took my nap today.
Which is weird. Becuase I never dream.
But I did.
I don't remember all of my dream, but I remember that in part of it, Shaun looked at me, and said, "Wow... wow, Melissa you, I mean, I... wow." Then he was just like, "You look breathtaking." And in my dream, I was just wearing jeans and a sweater.
It's weird. Right before I took my nap, I was praying, and I said, "God, show me..." and I guess He did.
I'm listening to a really good song by Three Cord Wonder on www.purevolume.com/. The song is called "Made Perfect". It's one of my favorites.

Procrastinating.
Do people really think that drinking makes them look cool? Becuase seriously, it doesn't. At all.
2 more days.
I just keep telling myself that.
2 more days.
It was so good talking to Hannah last night. We talked for over 2 and a half hours. And I laughed so hard. It was so nice getting caught up on everything. And we didn't, really, but still. It's better. I think (I hope) we are going to make a more regular thing.
I need to finish my homework. But homework it lame. And it's hard to be motivated when you have 2 more days.
I'll be home soon. I'm a little worried about being home for so long. Just because... I'm used to living in a hall with 20 other girls, and being with them all the time. I'll miss them. And my dorm room - my safe haven away from everyone, but also a gathering place. Man... what am I going to do for six weeks? I need to get Christmas presents. ASAP. From the OBU bookstore for Mom, Dad, Jeff, and maybe Mindy and Kelly. Becuase I love them. Lots lots lots.
Apparently Morgan and Anna were excited to hear I was coming home at Christmastime. That makes me happy.
Ah, I should start packing. Anything to get away from doing homework. :)
I wonder what I'm supposed to do for French...I should check. Maybe I'll go see Chae ans ask her. If not her, then maybe Anne knows. Hmm... I think we're off on the syllabus.
I worked for like 4 hours on my stupid English essay today. Gosh. But once I actually chose a topic and decided what I was writing about, it came pretty well. In fact, I wrote too much and had to go cut some out. Which was nice. So I wrote three essays this weekend. Hopefully they were okay. I just want to do well on my philosophy essay. I think I'll end up with a B in that class.
We went to Temple Baptist today. It was really good. I liked it a lot. Addi did, too. I don't know what Shaun thought. But I think I liked it more than Heritage. But I'm not sure. Maybe we'll talk about it tonight.
So last night, or maybe it was later than that...anyway, I was thinking the other day that I've talked to Shaun every day since like September. Which I guess isn't THAT weird, seeing as we live within a tenth of a mile from eachother. But still. It's interesting. There are some girls on my HALL I haven't talked to in a week. Just interesting.
Gah. I'll go to homework now. :P

Stop Frontin', You're Just A Puppet.
I'm listening to my angry music now.
Angry music is good. Thousand Foot Krutch is always reliable.
Even when nothing else is.
Thanksgiving is lame. Bah. I thought it was all worked out. But no. And the thing is, I can see her point of view. My Mom's, I mean. But it's so hard to work it out any other way.
GAH.
Can't think about it right now.
I'm making another bag. It's orange. It'll have a flap. I'm kind of excited for it. Actually, I'm really excited for it. :) Maybe it'll be done by next weekend. I hope so. If not, maybe I'll finish it on the BUS I might take.
NO, NOT THINKING ABOUT IT.
Brad and Jeff met up in Iraq.
I talked to my Mom. And it's like, just because I called today, she thinks something is wrong, that something is up. And nothing is wrong. I just wanted to talk to her. And Dad, but Dad was on a call, so we didn't talk.
Ah. What is the deal?
You can never fill these shoes cuz I refuse to lose.
I'm just ordinary me.
You can't make me feel this way.
You won't make me run away.
Can't understand my chemistry.
Laugh if that makes me ordinary.
Ping Pong = much love.
LET'S BE ORIGINAL!
Break the silence.
No more violence
I went to lunch at Braum's today with Jessica. It was pretty good. Nice getting away from the ARA.
I have all my classes chosen for next semester. I'm taking New Testament, French, English, General Psychology, Concepts of Wellness, and Intro to Evangelism. 16 credits. I think it'll be good.
Helena should call. Maybe tomorrow night. I dunno.
Mom saw Morgan and gave her my e-mail address and phone number, which is cool. I heart her. My little sister.
Ah, Hawaii. I wish we could go back. Right now. And help the little church, and paint, and go to the king's swimming hole. And sing in the backseat, and make fun of Leki Leki, and draw tattoos. I wish Maria and I could be backseat Hawaii buddies again, and that I could jump off the cliff into the water, and that we could eat at the pancake place again, or go to Jamba Juice. I want some guavas picked right from the trees, and to run around without shoes on in the rain, and to see Megan's dance at SubWay, and all the line dancers boot-scooting to country songs. I wish we could go to that coffee place, and see that lady and her whole family. What was her name? Oh yeah, Sheila. I wish we could go back to the volcano, and walk all the way to the lava this time, and hang out with ALBERT-O and his family. Lizzie and the son had a little connection. :) haha. I wish we could be serenaded by W-Dawg's cowboy song. And sing along, even though she sang it so much better. I could go for some time looking at the baby Hawaiin dresses, and I wish I had boughten that ukulele for $15.00. I wish we could go back and hear that girl and her brother play the ukulele in front of that store. And that we could go to the cave, and climb to the top of the waterfall again, and talk about monkeys being in the forest in Hawaii.
I hate how everything is just memories, and nothing more. Once it happens, it's done. And all you have is what your senses allow you to remember.
It's sad. But I guess that's life.

My Welcome Week beanie is sitting on my lamp. :)
EVERY TIME I TURN AROUND
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR ATTENTION.
EVERY TIME YOU SHOW UP LATE
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR FORGIVENESS.
THIS SONG'S FOR ANYONE WHO EVER TOOK A CHANCE,
WHO STARTED AT THE BOTTOM TO GET TO THE TOP.
THIS SONG'S FOR EVERYONE LIKE ME,
FOR EVERYONE NOT AFRAID TO STAND ALONE
AND LONELY.
WE WILL NOT BACK DOWN.
That's a good song. I never really listened to the lyrics before.
French test tomorrow. I don't want to study. But I need to. I don't think I'm going to Canterbury tonight. But I'd like to. I need to go to Wal Mart. And I need sleep. I took three or four naps today. That's not good. I need more sleep at night. AT NIGHT.
This is long. But not really. There's just a bunch of spaces.
EVERYBODY.
SHAKE YOUR BODY
LIFT YOUR HANDS
STOP FRONTIN'
YOU'RE JUST A PUPPET.
That's all for tonight.
But I'd appreciate some prayers.

What Do You Believe?
My SpongeBob/Patrick/Pirate/Glow In The Dark/Halloween pajama pants make me happy. And so do breaks from homework. And procrastinating all day. Then sitting outside, looking at the lightening and hearing the thunder with him.

Bring It On, Bring It On.
I don't know what mood I'm in, but I don't really want people to see this post. I kind of wish I had an Open Diary like Han, becuase she can decide who sees which posts of hers. I wish I could make this one private. But I can't.
LAME.
[Paragraph Removed] (but don't worry about it)
Going to Helena's tonight for homemade bisuits and gravy. I think she and Tristan are making them just for me. I mentioned how I like b and g, and she was like, "Next time we make them, I'l linvite you over." THen she called today while I was in aerobics, and was like, "we're making them tonight, wanna come over?" So after our mandatory hall meeting, I'm going to her house. And I'm excited. I love Helena. I'm going to miss her. A lot, actually. I can't believe she's leaving at the end of this year. It's not fair. She's so just funny and sarcastic, and acts tough, but is such a girl. She cracks me up. When I was at her house last Friday, she showed me her black and pink dress and was all excited about wearing it for Halloween. :)
I'm working on my English thing. We're doing an in-class write tomorrow. Mine's about firearm education, and how if we educate kids about guns, they're less likely to go kill eachother and stuff. I've gotten As on all my essays so far, so I hope this one is good, too. We'll see.
Helena is Dr. Hagen's aid, so she looks at all my papers and stuff, which I think is funny. She can tell when I don't put a lot of time into a paper. This is probably going to sound so lame and girly, but I hope we do stay friends. I want her to be at my wedding, when I eventually get married in years and years from now.
I hope Kristin stays here - I like her.
Shaun and I are on one month in like 8 days. I wonder if we're doing something for it. We'll be at mission center that night.
Wonder where Tink has been lately... weird. I wish her parents would just tell us where she is. Unless they have been, and for the past 5 weeks, she's been out with friends. But I don't know. I don't know if that's true or not.
Sigh.
Wonder what everyone else is up to right now. I should talk to Shaun before the meeting, because who knows when I'll be back from Helena's tonight.
LAME.
