| Wow, Xanga. It now seems like the obnoxious parent who recorded all of my naive high school moments and keeps them stored away in a closet, willing to pull them out and show whomever desires. I have not even started my current job in my last post. I mention being hired as a teacher's assistant, but that never happened. I worked in customer service for Liberty's computer lab for a year before I was promoted to supervisor and technician. I have changed so much in two years. I wouldn't say I'm completely different, but I have drasticly changed how I live, my personal beliefs and faith, and my political standpoints since then. I've been living on my own for more than a year, working 40 hours a week, taking full time semesters, driving fast, eating-hanging-making out. 'You know, that old chestnut'. I would consider myself to be more of a literal Christian. I absolutely hate the taboos, misconsecptions, false teaching that is prolifiant in the 'Christian' community. I enjoy reading the Bible and forming my own opinions on issues by taking what it really says and not conforming to traditions that have been taught for the past centuary. Politically, I would consider myself an independant voter, since I might support politicians of worth reguardless of party, but my views are close to that of libertarians and constitutionalists. I believe our current government has a lust for power and is willing to oppress us to keep and expand it. Overall, I've been thinking for myself more and filtering all of the information that's been fed to me the past 20 years.
I guess that's me now. I wonder if I'll be someone else in two years.
Checking out the profiles of friends I notice something to the effect of "it's been a while since my last update" on almost every page. Having no one to read my posts is comforting. I want to write for the sake of formulating my opionions outside of myself. I think I want to go though the Bible and write down all of the things that jump out at me. That'll help me think about what I'm reading instead of turning pages in a half comotose state. I tend to zone out and not really read what I'm reading if that makes sense.

| I've been sick for finals week and it stinks!
Some good news though, I got a job for next semester working in the computer lab as a teacher assistant. 
Alexandra brought me some hot tea and cookies last night, it was great! 
I am currently reading the book , "The Martian Chronicles" by Ray Bradbury. Even though it sounds pretty nerdy it is not so much. He is one of the early science fiction writers in the 1950's, right when space travel stated to become talked about. He lets his imagination reach to amazing heights and writes stories of what space is going to be like and life on other planets. His stories are deeply imaginative and full of brilliant imagery. Ray Bradbury's "The Illustrated Man" is my favorite book of all time and so far of what I have read of his others I like them also.
Monday I will be 21! woo! Time to.... go to pizza hut?

| Television is a curse destroying quality time and creativity of people today and creates one giant media bandwagon.
I want to be my own person, like that guy on that MTV reality show.
Did you hear who got voted off tonight?
They said on tv that...
Nah, I can not go tonight. The new 24 is on.
I will believe anything if it is on the discovery channel.
Gross.

| I have been home for a couple of weeks and have 2 more to go 
Christmas was great! I got a digi cam that I have been playing around with all the time...
Ive been working alot at Chickfila. Money for school and hopefully a car next summer.
I'm such a dork. My brother, my dad, and I went to Franklin Institute because I begged to and I had a really great time! I got to push all the buttons, play with all the exhibits, walk through the heart! My favorite was the physics room. That's my favorite type of science, even though I didn't think so my senior year, ha. It was good to be back in downtown Philly too. I kinda miss it.
Being able to play my bass again for my home church is great. It's so satisfying. There are just things that you 100% enjoy doing and that's one of them for me. Life would be so pointless if it weren't for the fact Christ came.
Next semester is going to be my hardest set of classes yet and I need a job to stay in school so it's not going to be too much fun for me, haha.
