Cold, truths and random stuff.

I'm going to post part five of 94 truths tomorrow.  I don't have the time to do it right now, it seriously takes forever to get the spacing right.
Lunch today was really great, even if Samarah says I sing too low like a man.
I think I'm getting the beginning of a cold.  Gross.
Well that's about it.

Tiredness.

I'm so tired today, I didn't get to bed until 1:45-ish, then up at 10:30...which to some of you is very late.
I'm going to Card making this afternoon, not really sure what to expect.
I've still yet call to Joanne to tell her she doesn't have to drive out into the boonies to get me..
My grad photos came in yesterday, I look stiff.  But nice I guess. They're only going in the yearbook, next to my hopefully killer write up...which I've still got to figure out.
Well hope everyone has a wonderful Saturday!

Choices

Today was Post Secondary day at school.  My schools for next year have shifted, yet again.  I'm basing my choices first on church and then on the actual school.  For two schools I'm guarenteed an great church.  these are 2 and 4 on my list.
I need to get in gear and apply already.

My list is: 

1. Redeemer
2. UPEI
3. Mount Alison
4. Acadia
5. CBU
6. UNB Saint John

I'm got to do something.
Youth Group is tomorrow, and I've yet to read my chapters.  I'll do it some time tomorrow....I don't have afree though.  Man.  maybe on the bus?  Or in the car on the way?

This World

True Christianity is the only religion that will make you cry, out of the love and oy you recieve.  Knowing that You are one the elect.   Knowing for certantity that God loves you.  Knowing that he sent his Sone to die because of your sin.  Erasing all your sin because of your love of him, your true and utter faith and his unreplaceable love of you.
Christianity also make you cry because of your own sin.  You know that you can never do anything that will atone for what you've done.  But you know that Christ loves you so much that he died.
I truly believe that we must be on fire with oour faith, with our love.  You cannot sit quietly.  Your faith must be your everthing.  We are guarenteed Heaven, if we have faith. "The same I can't deny this fallen world, though not my home it's were I live"(Standing up For Nothing, Caedmon's Call) We've had all our sin covered  by the blood of the lamb.  We must stand up and live for Christ.
For me, to live is Christ and to die is gain- Philippians 1:21

This world has nothing for me, and this world has everything, all that I could want , and nothing that I need- This World, Caedmon's Call

Yes, I have been listen to Caedmon's Call a lot.  I kind of ignored them all my life and I can't run any more.  And now I'm jumping head first.  In the end notes for their first album they thank Arizona Iced Tea, which if you remember I've got a mild addiction to it.

94 Truths: Part Four

Peter Pan was great today, though I might not be able to talk tomorrow.  aslking home not alone in the rain was nice, even if Susie did try to eat my friends.
I've got a Pre-cal test tomorrow, I'm feeling about half confident about it.

Brain Dump

We've started season four of Heroes.  So far it seems really good, but I;m sure in a few episodes it will start dwindiling.
We read NO Shakespeare in English class today, which really sucks.  Don't get me wrong I hate Shakespeare, In grade nine I can be quoted saying "I hate Shakespeare, I'm so glad he's dead"  But I'd rather read than do questions.
I came home and did my whole Pre-Cal assignment, without a hitch.  I may be a little overly proud of myself right at this moment.
I'm not so sure about these random what's going on posts.  I seem like they're kind of meaningless...am I right?
Today I signed the 11 for the back of the grad hoodies.
Christmas is coming, I'm really starting to feel ready for it.  I usually feel ready way before this but I'm late this year.  Maybe it's the snow?  I think I'm going to put the tree up this week.
I did finally beat my record on hitting the green on the Wii, by 10 feet.  I told Samarah to blog about it, but she didn't.
Tonight I plan on watching Heroes and then going to bed early because seriously I'm half dead right.
Hope all of you had a great day.

Peter Pan is tomorrow.  I found this and thought it was funny.

How today went

School was pretty amazing today.  We had this increbiable assembly this moring about drinking and driving, doig drugs and driving, texting and driving, doing drugs.  It was really powerful and I think it made a lot of people think.  Then I had double Pre-cal which always the best, because I always learn something and never feel like I have nothing to do or I'm doing busy work.
Then lunch, I went to the library and read Macleans, the newest university edition.  I love Macleans, I really respect them and I find the articles very good.
Then European history, where we watched a documentary about some crazy Italian family in the 15th century.
Followed by Global, which had no fights, but I was near sure one was going to start.  And Ben gave me a PB&J sandwich because I said I thought I was going to pass out, he has this super skill of making sandwiches, he usually has around 8 in his book bag
Can home made my slow roated forever porkchops and carrots.
Then we went to Church for a missions night.  Really good.  The youth group sat in a clump, and tried not to be rowdy.  Then Lauren and I talked about camp...then other stuff happend and here I am.
I do have this weird inner ear pain.  I'm either getting a sore throat or an ear-infection.  Or maybe my ear is just freaking out.

I found a new thing to make me blog for a few more days:
94 truths.  It's actually one big thing posted on Facebook by my friend Kylah, but I'm going to do it in sections

Day 30

Day 30 - Who are you?


I am me.
  I  laugh too loud, and a lot.  I read too much.  I love the colour grey.  I have super strong opinions, and refuse to back down.  I'm a night owl.  I can't spell.  I love baking and I love my Kitchenaid mixer.  I always feel guilty using so many "I's".  History is my favourite subject.  I like to know every thing, about everything so I can make cross references.  I like spoons, but only of a certain thickness, it's odd.  I can only eat same coloured smarties at one time, but I'll mix skittles like crazy.  I fully love being short.  I hate writing about myself, and this is extremly akward. 
Now I'm done 30 day.  I want to continue blogging everyday after this.  And if I don't you can yell at me.

Sense and Sensibility

[after Marianne has first met Willougby]


Elinor Dashwood: Marianne, you must change or you will catch a cold.

Marianne: What care I for colds when there is such a man.

Elinor Dashwood: You will care very much when your nose swells up.

Marianne: You are right. Help me, Elinor.

This is my absolute favourite part of the movie.
I'm nearly done the book.  I hope I'll finish it tonight, then I can start/finish all the other books on my list.  I need to read more

History Rhymes

I'm riding on an incredible high right now.

The reason was debating, debating makes me all giddy and shaky and in a state of excitement.

My history class was intense today.  We have this guy who is crazy (I affectionatly call him Trenchy)  anyways today it was class of the sane vs. Trenchy.  He was trying to say that the Allies should have been tried for war crimes in WWII also, and that the Nazi's did not get a fair trial.  Do you see the reason for the uproar?

Yes, so me and my other sane minded and political classmates tore into him, and the girl that was kind of on his side.
He said that the judges were bribed and had already chosen their side of the argument before the trial began.  They were not bribed, if you accepted a bribe there is no way you should never be allowed to work in the International Criminal court.  Yes they had already picked their side, they killed 11 million people, there is now way that that could be justified. The ones on trial said things like" I wish we had killed them all"  Who years later still had the same hatred. With all the evidence brought against the Nazi you could NOT rule as them being innocent.  Ever!

Yes Canada was inhumane too, we locked up innocent Japanese in the middle of the mountians.  We forced them into slave labour in our Sugar beet fields.  But do you know what?  Our camps lacked gas chambers, doctors who did experiments, and the oven where human beings were burned.
He also said that Stalin wasn't tried and died a war hero.  Lets see, shortly after WWII an iron curtian decended upon Europe making it impossible to get to the USSR.  Everyone was scared of another war (hence the cold war) so no one wanted to invade Russia.  Stalin died alone, he may have been murdered by someone who he thought was close to. No one like Stalin, he was extremly paranoid.  He had no reason for killing most of those he did.  Neither did Hitler.  Stalin killed 17 millon people. 

Most people in my class were freaking out, they didn't know what to think.  They knew that they didn't agree with what he was saying, but they didn't know what to say.  They were scared by all the yelling. they wanted peace and for us to stop, but these things can not be said.  I know some people were glad that some of us spoke out.

Nothing will ever justify what the Nazi's did.  Nothing.  You can not justify the killing of 6 million Jews and 5 million of humans.  Then burning the bodies of those humans.  The piles of dead bodies, the imediate killing of children.  Nothing no one will ever say anything that will make it seem alright.

We can not pretend that it never happend.  We must always remember.  We can not justify the sin of men.  The sin that makes man hate another and want to errase him from the earth.


"History doesn't repeat itself but it does rhyme." Mark Twain (though I heard it from Lewis. H. Lapham on The Hour)  I always have this quote running through my mind.  A constant reminder.


I know this doesn't really fit the title of this blog, but I really needed to voice this. Some people just don't understand.

Day 29

Day 29 - In this past month, what have you learned

I learned:
So much about the Holocaust, as that's what I'm studying in Global History.  So many sad things, Every class I left in awe of the sin of man.
To hate Wal Mart and other multinational corporations. 
Kitchen Aid stand mixers are my favourite thing.
I have no time management skills.
People read my blog, and that I love that.
I actually like blogging now.

Day 28

Day 28 - A picture of you last year and now, how have you changed since then?
2009:

2010:

One major change,  I got a haircut, I now have bangs, but they're clipped up in the picture (and at the moment) My hair is way shorter now.  I got a new coat, but I'm not wearing it in the second picture.  I'm in grade 12 now.  I've changed my major, this time last year I was set on going to Memorial, and becoming a pharmacist.  This year I want to go to some other school and get a BA in History, yet the school and this thought has changed many times.

I've blogged more this year than last.

Emery is now my favourite band.

Um...I can't think of anything else.  I know I've changed, I don't know exactly how to express it though.

I would like to say I've gotten taller, but that would be a lie.

Oddly enough these pictures are were almost taken the same day a year a part.

Today I helped my mom and Joanne amke 9 lasagnas and like what seemed like 20 potato ham bakes.  It was fun, I supose.   I also ate their bread. and jam.  I would have liked to go to ball hockey. but I'm sure my vegetable cutting skills are much higher than my atempts at ruling at ball hockey. I know, I'm  good.  You don't have to tell me. 

Day 27

Day 27 - Why are you doing this 30 day challenge


I did the 30 day challenge so I would be forced to blog almost everyday.  Also I had an excuse to post pictures every once and a while.
I liked having a set thing to write about each day instead of having to develop something to write about.
That's why I did the 30 day challenge.

Day 26

I didn't blog yesterday, but I did read 2 whole chapters of Peter Pan aloud to some people.  That was pretty cool.
TheI came how and ate super and didn't do my English homework.  Then I went to bed really early and wrote a letter.  That's pretty much my day.


Day 26 - What you think about your friends
Friends.  I love my friends or else I wouldn't be friends with them.

 Linsdeys about one of the greatest  people I have ever met.  She listens to all my crappy problems and still talks to me.  She's also adorable.  I tell her everything it's pretty great.

I love these kids with all my heart especially Samarah- Samarah.
She's so full of herself.
Any ways these kids are cool.  I like hanging out with them.  Church cool kids for sure.

Day 25-part 2

Day 25 - What I would find in your bag

1.  Pre-cal binder, which I happened to buy for  25 cents.
2.  Wonderful graphing calculator. I feel like a major dork owning one but I love it.
3. Pencil case.  It confuses a lot of people, it's kind of an engineering marvel.
4. The best pencil shrpener I have ever owned.
5. Peter Pan J.M. Barrie, which I took out of the library for our reading group :)
6. The Children of Men P.D. James, who's a woman, what?  Amazing book.  I didn't think I would like it this much.
7. Sense and Sensebility Jane Austen, also for Church reading group...I've really got to finish it by Friday.
8. Random change purse that I didn't know was in my bookbag.
9. Batman lunch bag.
10. New Testament and Psalms and Proverbs..which I stole from my dad.  I kind of use it like a file folder and keep papers in it, such as:
11. My schedule which I rarely use, as I've pretty much got it memorized by now.
12. My binder for all my other subjects.

Yes, I do have 3 novels in my bag (oddly enough all writen by British authors)  I have Sense and Sensebility because I had a free and that's how I spend my frees. The Children of Men because that's my bus book.  and Peter Pan because I just got it from the library.  I'm not that crazy...

I'm excited for our Peter Pan reading club :)

Day 25

This day will be brought to you tomorrow, because I want to add pictures( Fixed) and as it 10 at night that's not going to happen.  So tomorrow.  When it's light.
Lauren (AKA Homey L) reads my blog and she made me the most amazing butter tarts ever becasue she read that I craved them.  She also wrote me a super cute sticky note.  And yes Lauren I do actually like them, as I had one as sone as I came home and it was the best butter tart I'vee ver had.  THANK YOU!
I wonder if I posted that I liked a million dollars if some one would give me it?  I highly doubt it.
Oh and p.s Jesse I don't make it impossible to comment, I could make it so you have to have a blog.  And this way I get to read all your "wonderful"comments.  And not the weird asian ones.

Day 24

Day 24 - A letter to your parents

Dear parentals,
Thank you for giving me life.  Thank you for raising me as a christian.  Thank you for banning me from halloween, the Spice Girls and Aladian.
Thank you mom for reading to me every Little House book, and countless other books.
Thank you dad for showing me the best music of all time.

Love,

Bekah

Glasses

This is for Andy G:

I thought you'd have a good laugh.

Day 23

Day 23 - Something you crave for a lot

Chocolate, pretty much everyday.
Butter tarts, I have this insane want for them as of recent.
Certain songs, like I need to listen to them right then
Milk, when I start missing camp.
Frozen peas, they make a wonderful snack

This is all I can think of.

I had my grad picture taken this week, one of the weirder experiences of my life.  The lady completely rearranged my head.  My hair looked way different when the picture was taken than when I walked in.

Day 22

Day 22 - What makes you different from everyone else

I'm a Christian and A reformed conservative at that.
I always wear mismatched socks.
I have a pair of Vans with flamingos on them.
I listen to a ton of music, none of it really makes sense...I listen to Clapton and Family Force 5 right after each other, then Underoath followed by Jack Johnson.
I'm me, that is the number one reason why I am different from everyone else.

Day 21

Day 21 - A picture of something that makes you happy

My iPod Janey. 

People, my family, my friends, my youth group.

Reading, lots of reading

History.

All these things make me happy.

Day 20

Day 20 - Someone you see yourself marrying/being with in the future

I've put off writing this post for 2 days.  This is the hardest one so far.  I know who God wants me to marry, is this the time the place or the forum to announce who this is?  No.  I prayed for weeks, months asking and pleading God to show me if he was the one.  I woke up one morning and I just knew.  I'm not going to give you intials, or a picture or any hints.  I will say he is one of the most amazing Christian guys I have ever met.  I'll also say that I truly feel that he is the one I'm going to spend the rest of my life with. 
I'm completely aware that this post may seem odd, stalkerish and the like, but I don't feel like it is.  Thi sis how I feel.  I  would love to scream  his name from this blog but I won't because it isn't the time.  Tell you exactly how I feel, but I won't  Someday.



If only they knew- A Rocket to The Moon
Talk to me, I'm torn

I could get lost in a voice like yours
Tell me if I'm wrong or right
Tell me I could stay tonight

It's in the way that you fool everyone
When you're falling in love again
So tell me how this ends

'Cause no one knows you like I do
They don't see you like I do, baby
They'll try to, oh if only they knew
They'll never come close to you

Girl you know you got it, oh you know you do it better
(Girl you know you got it, oh you know you do it better)
Girl you know I want, oh I want it more than ever
(Girl you know I want, oh I know it's now or never)

'Cause no one loves you more than I do
They don't see you like I do, baby
They'll try to, oh if only they knew
They'll never come close to you

And you brighten up the world with your eyes
And you're so damn lovely when you're on my mind
'Cause you're the only one

'Cause no one knows you like I do
They don't see you like I do, baby
They'll try to, oh if only they knew
They'll never come close to you

They'll never come close to you
They'll try to, oh if only they knew
They'll never come close to you

(this may also be the only time i've ever posted a swear on my blog,  very proud about that.  Now I'm messed that up"
 
P.s.  I still feel creepy posting this.
