"Your Kindness is Worth my Lifetime of Song..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

To-day has gone disturbingly well; I don't feel at all safe. Mmmph. Something is so going to happen. Also, work has resulted in my hands being covered with paint, and the only way it seems to come off is by peeling. XD But. We all had so much fun with the paint, so it of course was worth it. Also, Louise did parachute to-day. Louise never, never, never gets out of bed, and it's difficult to get her to respond (she's schizophrenic, among other things), but to-day she was out and she recognised me by my voice, and when I asked her to the activity, she said 'will you be there?' and I said yes, and she said she'd come! ^_______^ I'm just so happy that she was out of bed and active. I love Louise.

Mum bought me jeans, and they fit! ^___^ And I don't have to know what size they are, and I didn't have to try them on, and therefore I didn't have any hysterics.

And now I must go off to support group. Amy had better be there. ^____^

You're quite the optimist, aren't you? XDDD What's parachute?

YAY MUM! :D Does she want to buy me jeans that fit without having to try them on? ...Didn't think so.

Have fun...! That'd such an odd reaction to going to support group, but I think it's accurate.

Wheee. :D *snuggles*

[catholic-heart.livejournal.com]

I love peeling paint off my hands!!!

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Oh, absolutely. ^___^ --Have you ever played with one of those huge giant parachutes with the four different colours, that have hand holds one per colour, and lots of people together can make it balloon up in the air? We do that. And we put a ball in the middle and try to keep it from falling out.

I'll ask. XD

It was good! ^____^ We had fun. Also, Amy got her new job! So wonderful. ^________^

^________^ <33333

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

I do if it actually comes off! I hate it when it makes my hands feel all funny and takes my skin with it. XD

[flameofdeath.livejournal.com]

New clothes are always so much fun, love! :-)

We haven't talked in a while, but it's good to see you're doing well.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

No, they're not. XD I prefer to get mine second-hand and with as little fuss as is humanely possible.

^__^! How are you?

[flameofdeath.livejournal.com]

By new, I meant new into your posession. :-)

I am doing good; nervous and antsy and a bit prone to migraines, but that's probably just the pre-college jitters. I am so terribly worried that I won't do well. >.<;;

But no, I am doing good. I don't suppose you still use AIM, do you? I know you swore it off, but I was just wondering if you revoke that vow. ;)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Yes, well. ^^;;;

Augh, no migraines! You can use caffeine to stave those off, by the way. And you're going to do beautifully, silly. ^_^

I do not, I am afraid. Alas.

[flameofdeath.livejournal.com]

Still, can't help being a bit scared. Such a new stage in life.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Well, yes. <333333 But still. You can handle it, I know you can.

[catholic-heart.livejournal.com]

Yes, I agree, skin should stay on your hands...I used to do home remodeling and reconstruction, so I often had paint on my hands...

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Oooh, wow. That's really neat...! Was that what you first majored in, or later, or--?

[catholic-heart.livejournal.com]

Nah, I really just picked it up on my own. My brother, dad and I started a business, we would buy old houses and renovate them, then resell them. My brother still has the business, but he and my dad had a little separation of ways (business wise, not family wise, but it's hard to keep them separate, though). So now it's my brother and my brother-in-law doing it. It was a lot of fun, though. I loved tearing things down and building them up again. It was so awesome to go into a house that looked like a total dump, and then seeing this beautiful new home when you were all finished.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

That is so cool. It really, really is. My goodness. So what do you do now?

[catholic-heart.livejournal.com]

Now I go to school, I'm studying to be a Catholic priest...quite a bit different, huh? Then again, not so much. I mean, a priest is supposed to help someone who is broken spiritually, and help restore them to the beautiful person that God created them to be, kind of like I did with houses. Hmm, I never thought of that before.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, that's really wonderful. ^___^ I'm an Episcopalian, which one of my ladies described as being "next thing to a Catholic" to-day, but people have frequently tried to convert me to Christianity upon hearing it, so I'm not sure. But I think that's wonderful.

[catholic-heart.livejournal.com]

Oh sure, the Episcopal Church has lots of similarities.

What do you mean people have tried to convert you to Christianity? Do you tell them that Episcopal is Christian? That's very funny, I hear that sometimes, too, people saying that Catholic is not Christian. They don't seem to like it when I tell them that Catholic is the original Christian. And they really don't like it when I show them that the Catholic Church is the only church started by the apostles, with a direct lineage to Christ. Oh well, it gives them something to think about, instead of trying trying to judge me for not being their kind of Christian :)

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Really? I didn't know that...!

It's so weird. Some people sort of assume that their denomination is the only real denomication. Wtf. XD

[catholic-heart.livejournal.com]

I know, with so much fighting and violence in the world, you would wish that Christians especially would realize that we all worship the same Jesus, so maybe we could start getting along a little better and become examples for peace instead of the opposite.

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

Unless caffeine is a trigger. Then you can't.

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

I can tell, you know. --Possibly. It sounds a little familiar. Like one of the things they made us do at the summer camp I despised.

All right. XD

Oh, good! And that's great! It's always nice to hear about good things that happen, isn't it?

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

It's probably obvious. --...Yes, well. I loved it when I was little, and most of my people get a big kick out of it.

...To-morrow.

It is, it is, because she'd been so worried and so depressed-- now what we really need is Sandra to move out of her parents' house and go back to school, because that will be so much healthier for her and it would be really good. ^_^

...Stop coming on at the exact moment I get off and go to bed, woman.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Shush, logical person.

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

I win again. ^______^

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

Just a little. --I hated it. Of course I hated everything we did there. That was the camp with the dehydration and the condemned railroad bridge.

...It's not important. XD


Awww. Well, I hope Amy does well. :D And Sandra, too.

...Is not my fault. We just had dinner.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

I know, I know. ;__________; We can be awfully stupid and awfully loud.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

:D -- ;___________; Yes, well, that was an evil place. I think it would contaminate even the nicest of things.

...She said sorry, not without living with you for sixteen years.

^____^ I'll keep harrassing her for details. <3 Thank you.

Well, how come you have it for the three hours I'm online?

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Always.

[catholic-heart.livejournal.com]

Indeed, and stupid and loud make for a very bad combination.

[josiana.livejournal.com]

Mum bought me jeans, and they fit! ^___^ And I don't have to know what size they are, and I didn't have to try them on, and therefore I didn't have any hysterics.

Yay! :D Not having hysterics is always a good thing.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

I know, right? ^___________^

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

It is vastly unfortunate.

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

:D :D :D

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

;__________; Quite possibly.

So if I move in now, then in sixteen years she'll buy me magical pants?

Because you have really bad timing? :D

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

*snuggles* There, there. It's all over now.

Right!

Oh, sure, make it my fault.

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

*snugs!* Oh, good. There's a reason I ran away to go to camp at the zoo, after all.

Well, it is. (Also, dinnertime.)

[gileonnen.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad about your jeans! I hope you feel utterly gorgeous in them, because you are whether you're in them or in other clothes. ^____^

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Hardly gorgeous; but comfortable, which is all I can pray for anyway.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Oooooh. Zoo!camp! ^__________________________________^

Hmph.

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

I liked zoo!camp. :D We raised terrapins and then let them loose in the New Jersey marshlands.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

OMG EEE THAT IS TOTALLY AWESOME AND FOR THE WIN. EEEEEEEEEE.

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

It was fun--! And we rescued other terrapins from crab traps elsewhere in Jersey.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Wowwwwwwwwww.

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

Diamondback terrapins are so cute. ^______^ I--like reptiles. Um. Red-eared sliders are omgcute, too.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

I just looked up a photograph of them to see what they're like, and OMG THEY ARE. SO CUTE.

[silverdragon262.livejournal.com]

I knoowwwwww, aren't they?

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

They are! Squeeee!
