Randomness

  This was a tag thing that's running loose around facebook.  I got tagged a total of 4 times and you had to write 16 random things about yourself each time you were tagged.  Here they are, as a cheap way to get a blog post done.

1. I love hot chai.

2. I worked out this morning and I feel much better for it.

3. I drew a rose on my left arm Sunday night with a sharpie and it's still there.

4. I got a compliment the last time I fought Larry.  He told me I needed to control my knee strikes better.

5. I think my low thyroid problems are getting worse.  It seems like I can't keep warm no matter what I do.  Maybe this is a good thing.  Maybe my thyroid is doing poorly enough that it will now show up on the blood test as doing poorly.

6. I had a lovely long chat with Rachel last night which was oodles of fun.  I love her!

7. I hope Chera, Dad, Caleb and the other sick people get well soon.

8. I need to get a hold of Sandy Gilliland about doing a weekly accountability/prayer time.

9. I need to start finding more sources for my capstone paper.

10. I wonder when IBC is going to do that second interview.

11. My skin is really dry.

12. I think I might make tapioca this afternoon.

13. i'm going to have to be very careful not to tag anyone that hasn't been tagged already.  I wonder if there's 16 people left that I know that haven't been tagged.

14. I miss my sister Naomi.  This is kinda weird, considering we live together, but I feel like I hardly ever see her and rarely get to do anything with her.

15. BJ is going to start a Bible study soon for us Bavido girls.  I think that will be fun and good for us.

16. I want to spend an afternoon taking pictures at the Tulsa Violin Shop.

17. I want to get a master's in Israeli Politics and Society from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem at their Rothberg International School in Jerusalem.

18. Said school is very expensive.  Does anyone want to give me 40-50 thousand dollars.

19. During the first year of Worldview we put our initials together and formed the group The HERJIMAS: Haley, Emily, Randy, Jesse, Isaiah, Megan, Anna, and Sarah.  And we were and are freakin' awesome!

20. Sam Bower deserves some kind of huge medal for voluntarily puttin gup with us for 3 years.

21. As long as we're handing out medals, let's give my parents one, too.

22. I think tattoos are cool.  I think it would be cool to get a tatto.  However, I think I'll wait until I'm done having kids and am at my ideal weight, because I hate tattoos that are all distorted from variations in skin elasticity.  So, maybe when I'm 50 or something.

23. I think the excuses people make up for not going to church are very sad.  It's sad that they don't go, it's sad they have excuses, it's sad that churches have to miss out on them, it's sad all around.

24. Baby Lam will be here in about a month!  I'm already insanely excited.  I will probably have spontaneously combusted by February 1st.

25. I am a terrible board breaker, but I am very determined and have very patient teachers.

26. I still get a Christmas card every year from my violin teacher in Amarillo, Mrs. Gerald. :)

27. I am very nervous about finding a job for this semester.

28. I am very nervous about finding a job in May after graduation.

29. I don't think I will ever run for public office, but I don't want to dare God by saying never.

30. I went to the men's basketball game last night.  We beat NSU by 11 points.  Oh yeah!

31. Tomorrow the Bavidos will open presents.  I hope everyone likes what I got them.

32. I love starting laundry, but not putting it away.

33. My flute looks like it has some kind of rash.  I'm going to polish it first and then try taking it to McGuire's.

34. I might go the White's tonight and I will definitely be going to the Murry's.

35. I have made tremendous strides on cleaning my room.  I still need to throw out some old shoes (sing with me! "Good old shoe, good old shoe...") and clean off my headboard.

36. I have also made tremendous strides on cleaning my desk, but I still need to do some filing.

37. Cleaning is no fun, but it gives me a very pleaseant satisfaction when it's done.

38. I am a sucker for notebooks.  I love to buy them.  I bought one just the other day on sale at Barnes and Noble's.  It has pansies on the front and is spiral bound.

39. I am eating a luscious chocolate chip cookie.  It was supposed to go the Dermody's, but I couldn't find their house.  So, today, I'm making more and trying again to find their house.

40. I am considering getting a Cricket phone for this next year.  But the poverty of unemployment is scaring me.

41. I miss my little friend Willow.  Her parents better be taking good care of her and Xavier up there in Kansas.

42. We had communion at church Sunday evening.  We came forward by families or a couple of families together, had communion, and then the group would be prayed over by a deacon.  And there was an open mike if anyone wanted to share what they were grateful for.  At the end, we all sang one verse and chorus of Jesus Loves Me.  It was beautiful.

43. I wonder how many people are still reading this?

44. I'm excited about Dr. Mackie's poetry writing class.  I love getting better at something and she's a good teacher.

45. Even though people tell me that I'm a good speaker and I can articulate my ideas well, I don't feel like a good oral communicator.  I'm such a marble mouth and I interrupt without knowing that I have.

46. I need to get my net teller account working and do some hard figuring.  The bank thinks I have about 300 more dollars than my calculations show. ???

47. My foot is very sore and stiff from stepping in a hole yesterday.

48. The sun is shining today, but it's only 38 degrees.  Maybe I'll go sit on BJ's bed where the sun pours through the window and read.

49. I'm turning more and more brunette as the years go by, but I still love my hair.  In fact, I'm kinda vain about it.

50. I should probably wash my hair today.  Usually I would work out first thing in the morning and then shower, but I'm not sure if this foot is up to it.

51. I hope my memory's good enough that I don't repeat one of my random things from the previous two notes.

52. Why are there limits on the size of notes and posts and comments?  Facebook stinks and y'all should all go to bloggers and forums.

53. I am a huge fan of Gmail.  I got my parents to sign up for one and they hate it.  Weird.

54. Right after my profile picture was taken my ball went in the gutter and I fell down.  But it was fun.

55. I skipped this one, but Chera caught it.  This one would have been: I'm addicted to Bubble Spinner off of addictinggames.com.

56. I think I'll make rice krispy treats today.

57. Joshua is reading over my shoulder.  When I wrote number 56 he hugged me and told me he loves me.  Awwwww...

58. What does goodbye mean?

59. For that matter, what does hello mean?

60. Good grief, I'm starting to sound like a sociologist.

61. Only 3  more to go.

62. 4 is my favorite number, but I also like mulitples of 4, especially 12 and 24.

63. I think the metric system has major flaws.  What do you do if you need to divide something into thirds.

64. I made it!
