Am I the only one who is super pissed off about the new Harry Potter movie?
Where was the epic battle with the Death Eaters at the end? Why all the build up for no climax?
Where was Harry's immense fury and distrust towards Snape the whole time?
Where was the first pensieve memory that Dumbledore showed Harry, where we learned so much about Voldemort and where he came from?
Where was everything that made that book so freaking awesome?
Oh...that's right, they left it out so that they could capitalize on the teen romance factor.

I guess I am getting married!
I am, in a few words, really, really, ridiculously happy.

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is the longest word in the English language, at 45 letters.
but, it doesn't even mean anything.
it was made up,
invented by some guy in the 30's, to show up the then-longest word, electrophotomicrographically.
supposedly, its the name of a special form of silicosis caused by ultra-microscopic particles of silica volcanic dust.
it is never used in a medical arena,
but chiefly by various individuals who want to show off
in knowing how to pronounce the longest word in the English language.
the longest word that doesn't mean anything at all.
if that is not an ironic metaphor for life, I don't know what is.

so I'm on my period and it's so much lighter than normal. I am obviously enjoying this, however I cannot help but believe this is going to lead to my untimely death or something. I have not experienced a "light" period in the nearly 8 years that I've had it.
thoughts?

There comes a time in life when you realize that it doesn't really matter if the person in front of you on the freeway is only going 60 when you want to go 80. When it doesn't matter if your boss is a total asshole. When it doesn't matter if there is a line of 20 people at the grocery store, one checker on duty, and you are only buying two things. When it doesn't matter if you have a ton of homework and you have just worked all day and are dead tired, but you still have to do it, and in the next three hours, because that's all the time you have.
For me, that time was today.
There is only so much complaining we can do. So much depression we can allow to enter our lives because of something petty. You have heard this many ways from many different people, and yet, it will still not penetrate your heart unless you allow it. That could happen tomorrow, next week, next year, or never.
There comes a time when we have to realize what does really matter. And what we are doing about it. What we are doing to improve. To grow. To learn. To change.
We must become the change we want to see.
And complaining doesn't change anything.
So why bother.

I got a new laptop and it's really sweet.
especially sweet that I didn't have to pay for it.
it's 67 degrees and sunny but I am stuck inside, home sick from work. really I think I just needed a recharge and catchup day...I have honestly been nonstop for eons. work, school, homework, laundry, traffic, Hemet, church and start all over again on Monday.
but
I am happy.
I know that summer will be even busier.
and happier.

I'm not sure if I have friends anymore.
I know it's my fault.
but I'm not too concerned. I don't know why.
I need some serious time with God.

things are so different, you all are so different. way more different than I ever thought you'd be. but I guess that's growth.
my life is so weird, I feel like I never know what's going on. first I'm at Hume for what feels like will be forever, then I'm ready to leave. first I think I'll never be back in Cambria, then I'm here for like the next two months. first it's the middle of summer and I want nothing to do with any boy that works there, then it's the end of summer and I realize there is one that I want everything to do with, all the time. so weird, so crazy. I don't even know.
whatever. I guess it's cool that I'm so happy with life, I'm just not used to it.

not much is going on.
well, that's a lie. more than has ever gone on in the past decade of my life has gone on in the past 8 months. I just don't want to take the time to write about it. maybe someday you'll get The Book of My Life as Brian calls it. he gets it every week in an email anyway, so maybe I'll just have him print those out and take it to kinkos.
I miss home ,but more the idea of home than anything else, which I fear I will never find again. crap. oh crap. Jesus is my home, I guess. that's good, though. like really good. better than I could have ever imagined, ever.
Ill be home for spring break on Friday, not that you care. sorry I suck at contact and communication. I almost wrote cummunication, guess I'm still kinda dirty.
I leave for Israel on the 16th of this month. so in like 2 weeks. in case you didn't know, that's effing crazy. (yes I sensor cuss words now, like all the hume lake staff)
I guess that's all I have to say. if you want to email me for some stories or something, you could. natalierebeccasmith@gmail.com. that's going to replace my old one, if you have it.

Earth is crammed with Heaven
and every common bush afire with God.
But only he who sees takes off his shoes -
the rest sit around it and pluck blackberries.

I really hope I like her, I'm pretty sure I will.
