so i logged in and saw that i need 3 more views to get 5K... -.- i waited... and commented... and waited... and commented... got stuck on 4,999 forever... then... suddenly.... 5,001 well... darn...

ANYWAY... that was my new years res woo hoo! thnx everyone i should have gone for 8,000 instead haha i didn't think i'd get 5K, but i got it a lot quicker than i expected once i met all my lovely friends and actually started getting involved in the community.

sorry i haven't been uploading much at all lately. like i explained, last week my family did some day trips and stuff. this week i'm working at my church's vacation bible school in the mornings w/ several dozen 3rd & 4th graders just in my class... nearly killed one girl today... well, i didn't, but she called me weak and i was about to toss her and get her in an arm bar. would have loved to do that -.- she won't be there tomorrow though, so i'm hoping things will be a little bit more chill. good news was that at least three children in my class accepted Christ today, so praise God for that

went to the eye doc today. was pretty pointless in my opinion. the guy said the exact same thing as my normal eye doc said. I have thick corneas and my pressure really isn't high. i'm normal... well... my eyes are at least haha

Got a couple of prayer requests for those of you who don't mind. first i'd like everyone to pray for the other children in VBS that God will work in their hearts. secondly, one of my MA instructors who is also a good friend of mine got in a car wreck this past weekend. his friend was driving and someone t-boned them. unfortunately his friend didn't make it. he's okay but has a couple of broken ribs and quite a few bruises. he'll heal, but getting over the loss of his friend will be that hard part. also, i don't believe he's a Christian, so pray that God will work in his life as well. thirdly, one of my bros is heading back to north carolina tomorrow, so pray he makes it safely and everything. and fourthly, a friend of mine is having some personal issues that have been going on for a long time. he's been struggling with this for a while. just pray for peace and trusting in God. thnx

Writer's block has def taken its toll on me. Manassas is driving me nuts cause i really wanna finish it by the end of this month at least, but nothing seems to be coming... plus i need time... probably won't be getting that till this weekend or sometime next week... for a few days at least. oh well.

I had a rough day today. tomorrow should be better. meeting with a friend for lunch so i can vent haha always good love you all and thnx again for everything!!

God bless!
