The ordinary life of a Christian teenage girl

quote (After confronting The Warden about the other group members and selecting the option about gossip)
■ Alistair: “I’ve got this nefarious plan to go around to each of them, and secretly tell them all the nasty things you said. That way they’ll mutiny, and I shall become the group leader!” (evil laugh)
■ Warden: “If you want to lead, all you have to do is ask.”
■ Alistair: “What? Lead? Me? No, no, no. No leading. Bad things happen when I lead. We get lost, people die, and the next thing you know I’m stranded somewhere without any pants.

— Yet another Alistair quote from Dragon Age Origins. What can I say? I love the game xD

quote (When Alistair presents the rose to The Warden)
■ Alistair: “Here, look at this. Do you know what it is?”
■ Warden: “Your new weapon of choice?”
■ Alistair: “Yes, that’s right! Watch as I thrash our enemies with the mighty power of floral arrangements! Feel my thorns, darkspawn! I will overpower you with my rosy scent!

— This is from one of my favorite games, Dragon Age Origins. Alistair, in my opinion - along with many others - is one of the funniest characters.

I’m going to Alabama!

That’s right, ladies and gentlemen, I’m going to Alabama! Now, you may be wondering why I’m going… Very good question! :D

I’m going because of a mission’s trip my youth group is taking. We’re going down to Alabama and give out food and water to everyone working on the houses that got hit by the tornado. I’m very excited and scared at the same time.

I’m excited because I’m going to be helping in the name of God. That’s always a great thing to do. I’m scared because I get very emotional very easily. I don’t want to be bawling my eyes out the entire time - mental note made not to wear any makeup. xD

But, as my dad said, I probably won’t be the only one. He said that if you didn’t get emotional and teary at the sight of this… Then he would want to know just how bad your childhood is. This is something that is going to be tear-jerking for everyone.

Of course, don’t get me wrong, it’s not like we’re going to see any bodies. Like I said, we’re just handing out food and water. That’s it. But… I feel like this is going to be one of those things, that may be simple to some, but to others, it’s a big deal.

We’re going to be down there for a whole week. We’re going to be sleeping in a church down there. I’m hoping it’s comfortable and I can actually get a good night’s sleep. Though, thinking about it, I’m probably going to sleep easily.

There is some worrying though… Alabama in the summer… Ugh.

That’s all I can say when I think about that. I’m not a bug person, for all who don’t know, so… part of me is wondering how bad this is going to be. Which leads me to make another mental note about how to bring bug replant along with me.

But overall, I’m excited. I hope we can really make a difference down there, and that we can really shine for God.

Baba Yetu →

OMG…

That’s all I have to say. I love this song. It’s so amazing. I always loved that African style music. Always had an effect on me. Baba Yetu, the hit theme song for Civilization IV. No idea what ‘Civiliazation IV’ is, to be honest xD But I love this song.

Amazing.

Brilliant.

Why is my best friend so frustrating?

I want to pull out my hair. I check, and check, and check, but still nothing comes. I’ve waited and waited and I’m starting to doubt myself.

My friend and I are doing this story… We’re writing it together, just her and me over AIM. When the summer came, I thought, ‘awesome! She’ll be free and we can really get this story done’. But, instead of that happened, she’s actually gotten busier. It sucks. And that’s putting it lightly.

I check AIM over and over again, hoping that she’s on. Most of the time it feels now, she’s never on. When she is on, I don’t get any sort of response. She reads a lot, on the internet. When I greet her, it’s now typical that I don’t get any sort of response. It’s because she so busy.

I’m just getting so frustrated. It’s getting so annoying, that I get on AIM, and I see her and I feel a slight sense of hope. It’s getting to the point where I know I shouldn’t feel this way, I shouldn’t get this sense of hope, because I know I’m just gonna get disappointed. But, unfortunately, it still pops up.

I’m feeling trapped now. I love the story we’re doing. It’s a great idea, and I’m in love with the characters. She says that she likes it too. That she has great ideas for the story… I’m feeling now like she honestly doesn’t. It feels like she honestly doesn’t care about the story anymore.

She’s confessed to me that she gets sidetracked easily. But, it’s getting to the point where that’s not an excuse anymore. Why does she keep doing this? I try to make it out like I’m not mad at her. But it’s getting so hard. I don’t want to be mad at her, she’s my best friend. But it’s getting so tough.

Do I tell her? I’m not sure what will happen if I do. I’m worried that if I do, it’s just gonna blow up in my face, and she’s just gonna laugh at me. I feel like she’s going to tell me I’m overreacting and that she’s busy. Yes, I get it. She’s busy. But, even in her ‘free time’ she’s engulfed in her reading on the internet that I’m getting nothing from her.

I know I’m overreacting. I know that what I’m feeling now I shouldn’t be, but what can I do? I can’t just… stop feeling. That’s not possible. I’ve given up now. I don’t know what to tell her. She’s my best friend. But now, I feel like she won’t listen. I’ve given up. I’m stopping from saying ‘hey’ or greeting her in anyway. It’s hard.

But I don’t know what to do. I don’t know what else I can do. Even if I do start up a conversation, will she listen? Or will she go back to her reading and not even give me a chance? She stays on AIM, available. I want to glare at the computer screen when I see this. If she’s busy, she shouldn’t be on. But I feel like there’s nothing I can do.

I don’t know what to do. So I’ve given up. That may not be the right thing to do, but it’s the only thing I feel like I can do.

And yet, at the same time. I find myself coming back to my old ways. I find myself crumbling and striking up a one-sided conversation, seeing, wondering, if she’s going to respond. I just don’t know what to do, anymore. I’m at a complete loss…

Why is she so frustrating?
