Day 19

Day 19 - Nicknames you have; why do you have them


Bekah- you drop 2 letters from my name, voila
I know people who I don't think have ever called me Rebekah, always Bekah.  I don't let a lot of people call me Bekah, you've got to be pretty close to me to get to.

Bekah Joy- With my middle name added

Boo-  I'm not so sure, mom just calls me this

Booboo-see above

Last night we had the Reformation party.  Samarah and I killed at the quizzes, I'm totally serious.  We didn't sing A Mighty Fortress is Our God by Martin Luther,  this made me sad.  I used to hate that hymn but now I love it.  We did learn about Katherine Luther, who's pretty much the coolest woman ever.  Take that feminists.

Day 17

Day 17 - Someone you would want to switch lives with for one day and why



Lets see.  I don't really know who.  I like my life. There's lots of people I'd want to meet, and if I switched with them I wouldn't meet them.  Also I'd still be myself, not them, just their life. 
Reformation day is 3 days YAY!
I bought my Grad Hoodie today, I'm excited.

Day 15

Day 15 - Put your iPod on shuffle: First 10 songs that play

I'm also going to put how I found out about the musician.

1.Darker Side-Johnny Lang
Dad, Crossroads 2007 DVD, and We got to see him this summer.  So Good.  Best concert I've ever been to..out of the 3 I've gone to.

2.Gone-Daughtry
American Idol, I was a huge fan of Chris the whole season he was on.  I thought he should have won but I think his career is way bigger and better with out it.

3.Who Am I living For?-Katy Perry
AP a couple of years ago before the whole kissing girls scandall.  This song is so good, and is one of the top reasons I think She's going to come back to Christanity

4.Aint no Sunshine When She's Gone-James Taylor
I really don't know, everyone knows this song.  Common knowledge I guess, then Mom made me listen to some and his voice is all homey and warm.

5.Tis So Sweet-Hawk Nelson
Bethany and Timothy, they lent me the Letters to The President CD and my love grew from there.

6.Happily Ever After-He Is We
Samarah

7.I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For- U2
I don't know, but Dad had the Joshua Tree album so I put it on my iPod and here we are.

8.Holes to Heaven-Jack Johnson
Eric Flanagan, then his dad lent my dad some CD's and I feel all mellow and happy when I listen to his musi

9.You're Ever So Inviting-Underoath
Tooth And Nail Records, I liked the music.  I only listen to the Heavly Arroned songs and like The Almosts music better, but I love the guys from Underoath, Tim is basically my Best freind.  Lindsey got me a DVD for Christmas a couple of years ago and I fell in love with them again.

10 Live Like We're Alive-Nevertheless

Tooth And Nail Again.  I stalked their website awhile ago.  I bought Their Live Like We're Alive Album and fell in love,  Now thet're on my top list of music.  They're songs just make me feel AMAZING.

Day 13

Day 13 - A letter to someone who has hurt you recently

Dear Person who has hurt me,
You shamelessly took the job of helping the grad ring guy this week, getting 80 dollars off your purcahse.  When I had a free when he needed help and your mom is a phycologist. I'm mad at you, you ran and screamed and put your hand up before anyone else could.  And I didn't want to be rude and ask after you.

I feel kind of shallow writing this right now.

Also Thomas you called me an idiot in your Camp note book, That hurt me deep down inside.

Day 12

Day 12 - How you found out about Facebook and why you made one


I'd heard whispers of Facebook, this was in the summer of 2007. I'd heard a lot of people were moving from Xanga to Facebook, My mom had Facebook. Then the day before I started Grade 9 I got a profile.  Why you might ask?  Ben, a guy I went to middle school had Facebook, I did not.  Be and I shared the common bond of not having cable,  yet he had Facebook, I needed it.  That's why I have Facebook, as to seem as cool as Ben.  I'm not as cool as Ben, he has a truck named Blue, I don't. Showing me up again.  He has Cable now, I don't.

Day 11

Day 11 - Another picture of you and your friends




Thanksgiving 2010, possibly the best Thanksgiving of my life.  Yup.  We're posing like Uncle Ricco from Napoleon Dynamite, a movie that we all love.  Thousands of tiny little seahorses.  Yada yada yada.

I bought my grad ring on Tuesday! YAY!  It was very exciting.  One side has a cross and the other Psalm 23 with a sheep, which are my favourite animal.  I can't wait to get it in 2 months.

Okay. I'm going to put my iPod on shuffle for a bunch of songs and tell you when I listen to them.

Crashed (Daughtry)  doesn't really matter, when ever it comes on.

America the Beautiful

Here's a list of American cities I really really want to visit.

  1. Chicago- to listen to the blues and eat amazing pizza
  2. Minneapolis- because it's epic
  3. San Fransico-to walk  vertically
  4. Boston-Just because, to see the Habs beat the Bruins there.  Throw tea in the harbour.
  5. Tulsa- to meet Pony Boy and Soda, Amy and I have planned a trip
  6. New York City-Because you know you have to go.
  7. Seattle- To listen to some grunge and get soaked
  8. Denver- There's mountains guys
  9. Philadelphia- Becuase I call it Philly, and to see the insanity of the Broad Street Bullies.
  10. Asbury Park- The obvious Springsteen connection..
  11. Richmond, Virginia-  It seem really pretty
  12. Charlotte- Love the name, also really pretty

On  A side note I saw a clip from Beverly Hills 90210 and they bleeped the word faggot.  Really?  We've been reduced to this?  We can have  inappropriate bearing of skin, immense amounts of sin,swearing, taking the Lords name in vain all in the commercials and within the show but they bleep faggot?

Day 07

Day 07 - A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you


Hmmm....

My Mom, for sure.  I tell her nearly every thing.  And she's my mom you know.  She taught me to read and read to me for hours, which is why I love reading so much.  She raised me as a Christian, She instilled in me a love for God, by setting an example.  She taught me how to bake and cook, another thing I love.  She helps me with my spelling and edits my school work.  She is the enviroment I am a product of.


Lindsey,  She also helps me spell.  I tell her every thing.  She's my pen pal, she used to be my bus buddy.  We've been friends since 6th grade but we met in 5th.  Some how we've survived all this time and I love her just as much now.  We undertsand each other.  We've supported each other through heartbreak and joy.  She's changed me.

Day 06

Day 06 - Favorite super hero and why

This is super easy.
Batman.  Yes I know he's just a rich guy who has a bunch of cool stuff.  But when you think of it isn't Iron Man too?

Why Batman?  This is why:
Mr.Christian Bale.  Yup I like him a lot.  His gravelly Batman voice is the best.  Since He played Laurie, which was very long time ago, I've kind of sort of had a crush on him...
The Dark Knight is for sure on my top movies list.  I like Batman Beins too but I haven't seen it as much as The Dark knight and it has no Joker but the Arkham thing is cool.  I just like Heath Ledgers Joker.

I also for some reason like Poison Ivy.  I want her power it's epic but I would use it for good, not evil.
I'm sad she'll nver be in the Christian Bale movies because she wouldn't exist in the real world.


P.S.  This is my 100th blog post, excitment!

Day 04

Day 04 - A habit that you wish you didn’t have.

I think way too far in advanced.  I freak out about stuff that may or may not happen for like 5 years.  It's a thing I do.  I am and over planner.  I think about evry little detail, every thing that could go bad. Don't even ask me about this the week before camp, I'm a wreck.

I also don't proof read, which I really should do.  I can't spell, or use grammar.  I need to work on this.  I always read blog posts a couple weeks after and find all my mistakes.

I laugh really loud too, but I actaully like this habit.

Day 03

Day 03 - A picture of you and your friends


This is Amy, Juli and I.  Taken by Amy's cool dad last Easter.
I thought I was going to die when this picture was taken, as I was squating really awkwardly.  we met in grade 5.  In The Village, fun times.

This is us in grade 7.

I had a really hard time picking a picture to put up here, because I have a lot of friends.
I think I'm going to put up another picture too.

I'm also posting this picture because seriously I love hanging out with these kids right here.
I wish I had a picture of all us cool kids that I sit with at Church meals, but I don't.
I could always post the picture of my Youth Group but I am not friends with all of those people
And, I love your laugh Lauren.

I did it!!

I'm watching Heroes.  I love it.  It's great.  I spent around six hours watching it last night.  Pretty good.  I talk in fragments.  It's a problem, I have.  Hiro is adorable, I love him.  I also think that Zachary Quinto is beautiful. His voice makes me feel warm inside, but way less on the scale than Morgan Freeman.  Hearing his coice makes me feel like I'm drinking Hot Cocoa. well then.  I should go now.  I've really got to work on these fragments...
