100th POST / IBL 3

YAY! This is my 100th post!  It's been 552 days or 1 year, 6 months, and 5 days since my first post, which is an average of 1 post per 5.52 days.   It's been a unique saga with revelations I didn't think would surface through writing.  Whether I'm improving on blogging or in language arts is doubt-able, but I don't think I'm going to give up on it, even if readers get bored.  Hey, I'm not writing for others but for myself.  If you learn something from me, great!  If not, that's fine, too.  Just let me know where I'm wrong - if you bother to read this at all.

And now... onto my ramblings / IBLs:

I just know, one day, I'm going to forget what IBL stands for (intermittently bubbly longhand) and have to go in the depths of this blog to find the meaning.

Why don't people use the word "allegedly" more often?  The often "supposed" thing is very wrong.  Sometimes.  Usually.  Maybe?  I just get tired of me and other people using the same word repeatedly.  Yay for thesauri!  <-- Is that the way to pluralize "thesaurus"?

Yesterday, Mom bought me my first official "purse".  As in, "This is what you're going to use when you're all alone in TX purchasing merchandise single-handedly".  I have a wallet type thing to hold my license, debit card, and library card in, but no official purse.  Yes, I have tote bags and whatnot given by friends, but no "purse".  You're surprised?  You shouldn't be.  I've had an animosity towards purses since elementary school.  I saw it as a chance for girls to show off their beauty opinions, styles, and wealth.  It was almost an extension of their body and they were totally dependent on it.  I've always said, "I'm never going to carry a purse! I won't have a ton make-up or accessories to carry around, so pockets will be sufficient.  If I need to bring food or bulkier things, I can use a backpack."  But, mother dear doesn't approve.  So I got the least flashy purse (more like a satchel compared to everything else at Kohl's) made of genuine leather.  It cost $27 bucks.  GOODNESS!  One of my mom's purses was $1 and it lasted her 1 year.  My sisters declare with such an expensive purse, my "satchel" must last me 27 years.  Good thing, it's possess a simple structure, so I might be shnazzy with it when I'm almost 50?  Yep, I'll be okay with it.

Almost a satchel?

I wish the inside wasn't reddish-orange.
I know - my phone made it look pink... aaah!

It's actually a pretty good-sized purse.

The brand!
Change your thinking gears, because that was too much girly talk above, and switch to school now.

Wait... MORE writing?!  And I thought writing in college was a lot ... wait, I take that back I only had to write regular papers for 4 of my classes.  Lab Reports don't count, because those were fun!!!  Anyhow - I need to start an Entrepreneur's journal now.  Still not very clear on what I'm supposed to record, but it's more life-lessons learned in different experiences everyday.  I plan on blogging it (maybe not publicly), since I'm full of myself and techy like that.

What should I name this new blog of mine?  Maybe... Eccentric Entrepreneur's Entries?  Or just Eccentric Entries? Yeah! I like that.  A double E.... I always thought getting an electrical engineering degree would be interesting.

Ok on second thought... that sounds dumb.  I know I'm weird, but this journal is supposed to help me learn business and other lessons.  I don't need "Insanity" blasted in my face every time I record my "larnin'".

Whatever, I'll think up of some name or title tomorrow.  More on that journal later, after I've finished reading the 5 pages of instructions carefully on how to write an Entrepreneur's journal.

Did I mention? I'm out-of-shape.  As in, everywhere I used to have a minimum amount of muscle, has been replaced with adipose tissue.  Especially... you won't believe it: on ... my ... arms.  GAH... I need to go back to playing piano 2 hours a day.  They won't be macho, but at least I won't have flabby triceps!!

You know - I'm gonna go play now... and then I'll crash in my room and play some violin or guitar or both!  Music night - coming up!

Adios amigos!

Internal Emotional Wearing-down

Where I've come from: I have been driven by fear and a desire to please people. I hate that. I thought I could live for my own values and beliefs... but I haven't been able to. Not until this past Sunday. I told my mother off... I was breaking down inside. I have wanted to die for over a year now. Everything seemed hopeless. Not so much for me, but for my purpose and effective work on planet earth. I saw no fruit. I could labor for the rest of my days to live and serve my God. And never ever see the results... and not that I need to see something... but because I knew that what I did WAS POINTLESS. I was doing nothing. And it was because in my mother's eyes, I would never be ready. I would never be enough. She thought she was protecting. She wasn't letting me grow. I can't do more if all you let me do is what is safe. ~CJ

Thankful Thursday XI

Aaaggghhh... I am so behind in the blogging world, like one of my friends says, " it's not even funny. " *sighs*  And I didn't get the chance to blog the Phriday Photos / Funnies - so I'll do a double one tomorrow :) . Anyways - what I'm thankful for this week: 30. BLOGS!!! - I'll admit it. When I first heard the word "blog", I thought the cyberworld couldn't get any sillier.  Well, way to go, CJ. Just join the silliness. Evidently the silliness has its advantages O.O . It's a place for me to rant, rave, and ramble, whether or not my readers want to see it.  It helps me organize my wordy thoughts.  And!! I can share what's been on my mind without having to know if people are looking at me strangely... hehe.  A more serious reason: I can share and read other's testimonies on how God is answering prayers: Answereth All !! *big smile* 31. 2 jobs - It's strange to say my piano teaching is a job, since I really enjoy telli...
