"Fa la la la la." She shook her little head. "Nay, nay, that cannot be."
What are my priorities?
After church, school, sleeping (and not usually enough of that), eating, and enough socializing that I don't die, I hardly have any time left to write. That's probably my lack of organization, but that's not going to change any time soon.
Bleahhh. I WILL figure this out for NaNoWriMo.

Don't panic.
Preface: Nobody's hurt or anything.
We had a burglary. The grand list of stuff gone, being very specific:
Main computer
monitor
2 laptops
2 laptop cases
mouse
modem
DVD (it was in my laptop)
TV
portable DVD player
Wii
Wii remote (only one; they didn't see the other
sound system thing (I'm not sure what it's called)
two cheapish point-and-shoot digital cameras
nicer digital camera
bike
papers for bike (we think)
It amounts to about $6000 worth of stuff. Also they broke open a window screen and made some rooms smell like cigarettes.

Seriously this year.
Unless something big comes up, this:
It's on October 9th, a Saturday (naturally).

Gotta get back to HT! Gotta get away from school! Gotta get back to HT, where everybody knows I'm cool!
Bethel tries to be Higher Things. It's also school, of course, but it's trying to get me excited and go to all their "services" and the sessions (classes, which I actually do go to, because they're required and sometimes interesting) and hang out with all them other youths between.
That's my main point: it wants my school friends to be like my HT friends. And it works, for a lot of people; I see people hanging out all the time and have THE BEST TIMES apparently. I mean, that's what Freshman Year Experience is for, making bestest friendses. I think the "block" is the equivalent of an assigned youth group or something.
So guess what. After having classes with them, hanging out during orientation and going to a block party and even (gasp!) occasionally greeting them outside all these activities, I am in fact a little fond of these people. None of them are terribly annoying at this point in our acquaintanceship, and some of them are entertaining. However, most days I'd still rather be alone. I'm an introvert, okay? It's only the people I really, really like that I want to spend time with.
You hear me, Bethel? (No you don't, you're not invited. Also you're inanimate.) I DON'T HAVE ANY FRIENDS THERE. And don't force them on me. I'm actually pretty happy this way.
I think this is about the most I've ever missed Higher Things—not only the company, but also the GOOD theology etc. Y'all who have experienced Post-HT Blues knows how drastic that is.
I can't wait for next year.
I should sleep.

Salvation unto Us Has Come, LSB 555.
4. From sin our flesh could not abstain,
Sin held its sway unceasing;
The task was useless and in vain,
Our guilt was e'er increasing.
None can remove sin's poisoned dar
Or purify our guileful heart—
So deep is our corruption.
9. Faith clings to Jesus' cross alone
And rests in Him unceasing;
And by its fruits true faith is known,
With love and hope increasing.
For faith alone can justify;
Works serve our neighbor and supply
The proof that faith is living.
Notes From Organ Workshop, 2008 edition.
