this is from a forward that my mom sent me...   i normally delete anything in my inbox that says FWD, but this one was called 26 Beautiful One-Liners and i was getting it a lot, so i decided to read it. anyway, i really liked it and wanted to share some of it.

1. Give God what's right -- not what's left.

2. Man's way leads to a hopless end -- God's way leads to an endless hope.

4. He who kneels before God can stand before anyone.

6. Don't put a question mark where God puts a period.

8. When praying, don't give God instructions -- just report for duty.

12. When God ordains, he sustains.

21. He who angers you controls you.

25. God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called.

26. Read the Bible -- it will scare the hell out of you.

IHOP is my new second favorite restaurant! a) it's open 24 hrs b) that means i can have pancakes whenever i want c) ... i dunno. GO IHOP!

this is what i want RIGHT NOW... minus the eggs

but alyssa won't go with me.   just cuz it's 1:45 in the morning on a school nite. what a jerk, huh.

i took this picture on my phone. it was supposed to be the perfect postcard picture of a rose...

 but then lauren's stupid shoe got in the way!

yvonne... i LOVE ya. =)

 <--(yvonne and her favorite girlfriend)

heh heh... love you too ali!

1) i'm really upset that Larissa chose Gil.  Yah he's cute but so what.  he said he wanted to be an ACTOR when she asked him what he hoped to get out of the experience! and he left her just cuz she used to date some Fabio guy that looks like The Beast. i'm so disappointed in Average Joe.

2) emily... thanks for redecorating my xanga! it's super pretty. sorry i didnt update sooner... i forgot.  so i hope one day u will find it in your heart to forgive me. and i also hope that u will still take care of my xanga. :)

3) after seeing yvonne's big fat picture update, i felt inspired. so here are some pictures from the roll i kinda recently developed. it's from like october thru january.

these are from over winter break when my dad took my sister and me to catalina one day... i think it took like 10 minutes to get there, cuz his friend flew us there in his mini plane. it was kinda neat! we had buffalo burgers (didnt taste anything like buffalo though, just a plain old cow) and fries and these really good blueberry scones.

here is my dad and his favorite daughter...

and us and the plane

i like this one cuz it looks like i was flying over Never Never Land.  (or is it just Neverland?)

and this one's my favorite. my sister took it... it's huntington beach! and that's Ruby's at the end of the pier... they have the best oreo cookie shakes ever.  geez i really want one right now...

and here's a picture of my messy dorm room .  it doesn't always look like that though, i promise. (my roommate and i vacuum up all the dust bunnies whenever we have visitors.)

and here's a picture of the hardy hall posse at usd

but no one will ever take the place of my lunch buddies...

... or my girlfriends

(ali --> this picture was here the whoooooole time! i just had it on this special invisible setting that only the REAL xanga-ers know about. geez... and u thought i forgot about u...)
