A "Hi!" Update

Hi again!
I just went out to my car and, happy joy! (man I'm sounding more and more like Moon), there was nothing attached to the car. No blood, no fur, nothing. I didn't drag anything home. It's still upsetting that I killed something that really didn't do anything wrong but I just have to come to terms with actually killing it needlessly.

It makes me think of a poem by one of the former teachers at my high school wrote. He's passed away now and he never was my teacher but on of the sponsors for the school Reading Club knew and let us read some of his works. On was about him jogging in the morning and seeing a dead frog in the road. He had just had a triple bypass as he jogged past the roadkill frog. He commented in the poem that if they both had been back in time then he would have bbe ndead but not the frog. That poem really makes me think about how we have changed the world and continue to do so as time passes. It makes me wonder if we will permanently damage the world and ruin it for future generations, how many more will be able to survive in the world that we contiuously destroy and make a worse place to live. Hopefully the earth can recover and become even more beautiful than it is now.

Can you tell I'm somewhat of a tree-hugger?
Oh, by the way, FYI, I really do hug trees sometimes if it strikes me to do so. My friends seem to think it's funny and/or cute when I do it. One of them even took a picture of me hugging one when we were walking to church one Sunday.

Hi!

Hello blogverse!
Long time no see!
Sorry about that, school got in the way. I have been visiting though. I've been reading Mm's blog and Moon's. Even though Moon hasn't been updating much either.

Anywho, I feel pretty bad right now for a number of reasons:
1) I hit some small creature that darted out at me last night when coming home from a party. I have yet to check and make sure there is no blood or animal remnants on the car. It upsets me more than I expected it too. It just makes me feel bad to have killed something that wasn't so much as bothering me. But even if I had seen the thing before I did, I still mostly likely wouldn't have been able to stop and I wasn't about to kill both Moon and myself over an animal, no matter how bad I feel about runing it over.
2)Exams. 'nuff said.
3) It's mother's day and I forgot to even so much as call my mum and talk with her. I remembered her birthday but no this. The thing is I thought so muxh about mother's day over the past weeks because I didn't (and still don't) know what to get her. I know that I'll have it by the time I get home this week for the summer but I was so focused on getting the gift that I completly forgot to even talk to her. She called me. I hate that. And to make matter's worse. My brother forgot too. Sigh...
4) I haven't had God time yet. It's almost dinner and I have completed very little that is vital to my existance. Like studying and reading my Bible. I did eat though. I also washed clothes and dishes. That's great and all but I feel so behind and unproductive. Once I get started I should feel better though.

*Sigh* Life...too short for all I want to fit in it.

Oh! I just remembered a quote that Moon said that I absolutely love! When talking about relatives who lived through the Great Depression and what they taught thier daughter she said, "They pinched the dust the pennies leave behind." I love my roommate! It (the quote) and she make me very happy!

studying to do...
