So It’s Not Password-Protected… Alright.

The one time where I’m actually not going to do a password-protected post. Feel very special, visitor. This chance may never come again. :evil:

As much as I’d like to avoid drama, it’s coming over the Rachel-horizon. Me and another person, let’s refer to said person as… Hilary Duff. Since she is one of the most notorius celebrities for lying to young adolescent minds of the easiness of High school, love and real life. No, I don’t know Duff in real-life; yes, I’m probably apart of the minority who just can’t stand her. And with saying that sentence, I’ll have x amount of comments from crazy teeny boppers saying “WHAT THE HECK?!? Hilary Duff is like my idol! You’re so judgemental!”

*sigh* When did the internet become ruled by teeny bopper?

But with that aside (ha, like the above statement isn’t going to cause more controversy than I already have on my plate), I’m going through some more friend issues that I haven’t exactly dealt with since the beginning of summer. In answer to a web-survey sent to my friends, the question “Are you strong?” the answer “When I put my mind to it. Other than that, I’m like a jellyfish minus the pink colouring.” I’m spineless when it comes to confrontation, and now, I might actually have to go through with it.

Jeal – ous. adj.
Fearful or wary of being supplanted; apprehensive of losing affection or position.

Can we say “The green monster has gotten one two of my friends, and I can’t stand another minute with either of them before I cock my gun”? Seriously, say that ten times fast. But me oh my, I can’t stand them anymore! It’s either “Did you get my email?” or “Are you coming over?” whenever I see them.

Hello. My name is Rachel, and I have something called “priorities” in my life. Maybe your local Avon lady can supply you with some if you ask real nicely.

They don’t understand the concept that my social life comes after my practicing, studies, and preparing lessons. And whenever I try to explain that to them, I get a pouty face and a “why are you blowing me off?”

Seriously. I’m ready to smack them in the face or at least yell at them. A. I cannot stand repetition nagging. B. If you’re not understanding me the first (or second or third) time when I pretty much just spell it out for you, then I have a reason to be annoyed. It’s not my fault you’re not grasping it or paying attention. C. Get a life. I’m not the only human being on this planet. You have other friends. Go bug the crap out of them and leave me alone.

Nerves = 11th Plague

And so I’ve noticed I’m in a rut of blogging on the same two days of the week: Monday and Thursday. Why? I don’t know, yet I”m adding to the rut-ness of blogging once again on a Monday. :P

Word of Life just sent me another letter concerning my application for a missions trip to England and guess who just got accepted for that trip?!? :couple2: Oh yeah. It’s me. W00tness to the max. I’M GOING TO ENGLAND! I’m so excited for it, these mere keyboard typed words just can’t contain it. I loved the trip I took to France this past summer, but there were so many self-inflicted things that made it seem less enjoyable than it could have been. :reallyashamed: I’m ready to learn more and do more, and gosh, I’m so excited!

So it’s just like usual how the panic attacked Rachel gets incredibly nervous a week before I’m actually performing. I’m playing special music for my church this upcoming Sunday, and I’m totally confident in the piece I have. I’ve practiced my hardest; I’m at my peak; yet I’m nervous as anything. The main problem I’m facing now is that I’m getting worried a week in advance. I think ever musician has a good case of nerves, but this is ridiculous. It’ll be like any other performance I’ve done, so why am I so nervous? :confused:

WANT ADD: Special Person to Spend the Holidays with

You know, I typed up this other post, and I still haven’t published it yet. :what: Oh well.

I’m loving this fall weather minus the waking up to freezing temperatures we’ve been having. :cool: It’s yet another reminder that Christmas is coming!! I love the Christmas time, but at the same time it’s just yet another reminder “Yes, Rachel, you don’t have one particular special person you can spend the holidays with.” :reallyashamed: It’s a bittersweet feeling: I’m glad the holidays and other events are coming, but I’m sad because I don’t have someone to share those times with.

On one hand, I know that whatever God has planned out for me is best: having a boyfriend now or having one later. Patience is key, and that’s something I keep trying to plant in my head. But it’s always easier said than done. I just miss having someone to share those memories with. :ashamed:

I spruced up my myspace page, so go click and be awed. :tongue: Yes, I’m one of those few who have gotten sucked into the current of Myspacers, but it’s the only way I can really keep in touch with some of my friends; and it’s good table/css practice, too. Nevermind. IE has once again ruined my life.

Sarah’s sister gave me this awesome PDA/iPod case last night. :love: It’s black suede (?maybe?) with a little picture of Scraps, from the movie Corpse Bride, in the corner. How sweet is that?! Not only is my iPod finally charging correctly, but I also get this pretty sweet Corpse Bride case to go along with it. :)

EDIT / I just finished updated the credits page; it now has credits for the past two layouts (including this one). I’ve also updated “Amplify” (scroll down the sidebar if you want to see it), so w00t. Two new updates and… Yeah, that’s always good. :P / EDIT
