matters is spelled like mattress; you sleep on a mattress, so sleep is all that matters!!

i woke up this morning and it felt like my head weighed a hundred kajillion pounds. my ears hurt, my head hurts, my nose runs, it's all very bad. and i don't even have time to sleep because i don't have it scheduled anywhere. ah homeowrk, how i hate thee with the fire of a thousand suns. me and my friends have spent some time at phil's new apartment the past few days. it's really nice and i like it better than where he lived before. probably cuz there's no sketchy firefighter who's age we never determined living with him. my choir director wants us to have our Germany deposit of $150 by wednesday...and i don't have that much. hmmm. today i learned that revelation is all metaphorical, which brought great relief. i can hear you laughing, but i thought it was all literal and i was horrified. anyways, I have concluded that I don't care to speculate about the end times because it's pointless. i belong to Jesus and that's all that matters to me.

joanna

ok so i just got joanna's wedding invitation. joanna i doubt you read this but i wish you did because i do not have the heart to say this to your face or ear (phone). i don't want you to get married. tony is all wrong for you. or at least he is all wrong for the person you used to be. i know you'd like to forget about the person you were but i would give anything to have you back. i'm afraid for what will happen when you realize you've been deceived and are stuck with a husband who believes differently than you. what will you do then? my heart breaks for you. don't you realize that you've settled for the only fish in the sea? just come home so we can wrap our arms around you and be our joanna again. i miss you jo and i don't want you get married.

ho hum. i used to like rain a lot, and i still do, but it gets harder when it happens everyday. now i just miss thunder and lightning. here's a new experience for me: going to a construction christmas banquet. we weren't going to go but Brianna (phil's bosses daughter that i go to school with) said we should cuz it's free food. so being the mennonite that i am...
i had a concert yesterday and the day before with the Columbia Singers. the second one was way better cuz it was in Abbotsford (the first was in Vancouver) and my aunt and uncle and cousin came as well as my roommate and Chanel (yes #5) and Phil and jenna, jason, james. all the winkler homies. and did you know that there is a place in Manitoba called Sinkler? i didn't, but apparently shane wiebe's dad is from there. YES i got a picture with him and YES i have been tortured for being a fan. that's it that's all.

in reference to age

i bought the new relient k cd recently, wow have they changed. much more grown-up, not so much of this lion-o we're immature canadian boys stuff (which was all well and good once upon a time, and still occassionally) which was kind of nice to see they're changing with me. it's like the whole cd was written for me. crazy. so that's my plug, you can listen to them with me when i come home, i've already made phil sick of it heehee. at what age do people stop struggeling with their personal identity? i'll have to think about it and write something up.

ps. i must give credit to jen for ever perfecting the appearance of my thought page

raindrops keep falling on my head...

Today it is raining. *sigh* we had school pictures taken today, we got to do a normal one and a funny one. actually you could do whatever you jolly well pleased. so i did one normal one, and one where i put on a toque, mitts and a scarf and held up a sign that said "winkler" on it. laugh if you will, but it will look awesome. oh and i was yelling :D i'm a little ahead in my homework so that's nice. and i'm coming home soon and i can't wait! yes i can, i lied. i like it here. oh hey next semester i'm going to take an Intro to Snowboarding class! how excited am i. well, more excited if i can get Joanna's snowboard to keep the cost down. or anyone else's... ok so obviously i really have not a whole lot to say, except hey email me cuz i miss you guys. what's going on in manitobia?

So...

New Years Party!!! (in case any of you thought it wasn't going to happen)

yes mom i'm alive (no she doesn't read this)

i'm in lethbridge albertaaaaaa!!! yayaayyay. jen you really are missing though. i had a shower in the clawfoot this morning and i felt like i should go back into our room with you. but i would've severely scared Chris (some guy). so instead i got joel's room all to myself. and yesterday we went to look at joel's new place that he is going to move into with Chris at the end of the month. it's an entire basement suite and it rocks! the living room is huge! so jen when you and eric come out, you can go to joels, pick him up and come see me! and joel and eric can stay at phil's new basement suite that he might get to rent. it's sweet. anyways, we got to calgary on thursday evening and we hung out waiting for mike to come home and we talked and then brittany came back from her classes and so we talked more. yesterday we came to lethbridge and we did a LOT of thrift store shopping except joel is the only one who bought stuff lol. then we got WEndys and brought it down to the coulees/old man river and ate it on one of the bridge support things. we watched movies, did more shopping, watched another movie and went to bed. today i dunno what's up, we're going back to calgary at some point to hook up with james and tam and britt and maybe mike, and then tomorrow it's home. and i have a research essay due on monday that i haven't really started writing and i realized i left an important part in my dorm room. BOO. oh well. life goes on. sorry to those of you who are not jen and feel alienated by this blog. but jen is the only one that has been here! love you all.

ah titles

Ok. i suppose most of you don't really want to know that i've been walking around in a zip-up and flip flops cuz that's how nice it is here. woops :) so this weekend is going to be the best weekend ever, minus seeing marce. but i'm going to stay at joel's for a night! yay! i miss that boy. guys i miss all of you. phil mentioned yesterday how much he misses home and everyone there. love. i love how the first thing people do when you have problems is pray for you. I have had so many people pray for me in the last few days, and it has been such a blessing. I've just been really stressed lately and it's great to have that kind of support. i have so much stuff to do today it's not even funny. what is funny is how i'm procastinating by doing this. blech.

my eyes hurt. could it be the screen?

Ok so i'm sought after, and here's another post. Big news, i dyed my hair. that's right, i did it. i can hear you all gasping. it's brown, and it's temporary, and i love it. and everyone says it looks great. it even shines a little redish sometimes for old times sake. but it will be gone in 28 washes. unless i do it again. mwahaha. sooooo what else is new. oh i'm going to calgary next weekend! with james and tamara and phil! and i'm going to see mike d. and brittany fehr and joel! yes joel funk!!!! how pumped am i. marcia.......COME SEE ME!!! i will be 2 hours away from you on Friday Nov. 12!!! i will cry if i don't see you. well ok i won't but i WILL be sad. and so will joel. and phil. but enough about marce, this i MY blog. and i'm glad i switched. that's right i said it.

first is worst
