Wow! on Saturday, May 29 there was the most amazing Manitoba Thunderstorm!!! I mean ridiculous!!! The creek next to my house rose at least 4 feet! which, by the way, completely covered a childhood fort of mine that I still love to got to to get away. I wanted to bad to just run around in it, like so incredibly bad... unfortunately I was wearing a suit at the time. It was the prom at my old high school and I was asked to be my friend's escort. so... no rain for me. but I still got to look at it and it was beautiful. :D This might not really seem all that exciting but I've been in BC at school all year where they always have this measly drizzle that they call rain. pfft... I had been looking forward to a downpour all year, and now I fear I've missed it. on a more positive note, prom was good! their theme was "A Fairy Tale Ending" (aka, "happily ever after" as I understand it, haha). Isn't it the best how corny prom names are? I love it, they make me laugh. :) mine was 'A Night in Paris', and no, it wasn't decorated after the reputed 'adult video' is you get my drift. actually it was decently classy. we had a 20 foot tall Eiffel Tower in the room and a nice little park are with a cute swing, and the area with the tables was modelled to look like a french cuisine. I enjoyed it. This year, just like last year almost everyone was gone about halfway through the prom. last year I stayed to the end (12:00) and then went to a bonfire at a friend's house. this year we left at 11:00 because there was literally around 15 people left and we went to a house party on the island. interesting, all I have to say. What happens at a party should probably stay at a party. and I was the DD, (designated driver, not my initials) so don't worry.
I baked something else out of the book, caramel-chocolate brownies. They're ok, super sticky though, love that. and I got the courage to try the ice cream cake that I was reluctant to try!!! my sister said it was good so I grabbed a piece and it was decent! *sigh of relief* I was worried about that one because the ingredients said to use something called 'malted milk powder' which I'd never heard of before and was informed that it's not sold in Canada (apparently). As far as I know Portage doesn't have a specialty baking place to look so I settled for a substitute.
books. I started read "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" and I'm currently at Chapter 13, I'll hopefully work though a lot of it tonight.
at College and Career on Monday we talked about meditation, Christian Meditation. I'm not going to explain what we talked about, but don't worry, it's not sketchy (read Richard Foster's 'Celebration of Discipline') on thing that stuck out though was during the conversation someone made a comment. I think it was Laurel. She said that she once heard someone rhetorically ask if 'busy' stands for Burdened Under Satan's Yoke. That sort of struck a not with me. I'm busy, often times too busy for myself and also too busy to find time to actually be with God. It's like I'm doing all this stuff for God that I've forgotten why I'm doing it, I've said to God, "move over, I don't have time to talk, I have to do this stuff for you!". well, Does God really care about all that? probably. It's good stuff and it's serving those in his image, what's wrong with that? What I need to keep in mind is where my heart's at. Correct that, I know my heart's generally in the right place, I need to make sure that my mind is in the right place.
I still haven't arranged anything with my little brothers or my uncle yet, but I'm planning on doing both tomorrow, I'll go onto facebook right now and contact my uncle... done. and I can call my little brothers tomorrow and arrange stuff. ok, I think this is going to work.
not much else has really happened lately. oh wait, I bought Nair. haha!!! it's the funnest stuff. :P
