Friday Five
1. List five things you'd like to accomplish by the end of the year. Pass all my classes, be on time with ALL my payments, actually balance my checkbook, finish all my gifts for my friends and family, and really get serious in my relationship with God.
2. List five people you've lost contact with that you'd like to hear from again. Andre, Heidi, David Collins, Ken and Anna. (First 4 from Suriname and last from Mexico)
3. List five things you'd like to learn how to do. Draw really well, do really good flash animation, play guitar better than I do now, speak Spanish fluently and cook really good. ^-^
4. List five things you'd do if you won the lottery (no limit). Seriously? Pay for my sisters' college educations, set up my parents for the rest of their lives, give money to my cousin for his chemotherapy, pay for the rest of my own college eduation and then take the whole U-Life group skiing! Whoohoo! ^-^ 5. List five things you do that help you relax. Bubble bath with candles and wine/sparkling juice, watching a movie wrapped up in a blanket and eating some good food, driving with the windows down and listening to great music, hanging out and playing cards with good friends, curled up in bed with a good book. Everything that's just good and lovely. ^-^ Hehe.

7th Heaven
01. Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices? YES! It's so weird man...
02. What does love Really feel like? Real love? .... I actually thought I had an answer for this because although I haven't experienced real love in my life yet I had an anticipated hope for it that I thought gave me a taste of what love would be like. But I really can't truthfully say what it is. I believe I'll be able to do that when I'm married though...because then I'll have found the person I was meant to be with. :)
03. Should animals have the same right to life as people? I believe animals were created to serve human beings and be their companions, without animals I doubt our species would be able to survive so no, I don't believe that they should have a "right to life" as in all animals should live and none be used for human consumption. But then again I don't believe in cruelty and inhumane acts towards animals, all of that is just wrong. It all depends on the specific situation that would make me draw the line somewhere.
04. What is your least favorite body part? My stomach...just need like a couple more inches off to be satisfied.
05. Do you enjoy british comedy? Uh, I guess so?
06. Are there ever happy endings or does nothing end? Of course there are! They wouldn't be written about in books and taught to children if happy endings were just myths. They either exist in real life or at least exist in the minds of people to keep them motivated to live on this earth.
07. What is your worst trait? I think right now I'm struggling with talking about myself more than other people in conversations...I'm trying real hard to reverse that though...I kick myself when I realize I'm doing it. :p

Lulu's Lines
TRIGGER 1::: I am thankful for.....life, friends, family, food, guitar, the internet, mountain dew, my laptop, church, U-Life, UCF, color, art, music, Beethovan, being able to breathe, poetry, smoothies, cookies, my fish (Gil, Coral and Dori), my kitty who lives with my family (Kit-Kat the II, or just Kitty), chocolate, calculators, truth and honesty, gas in my car, food in my fridge, detergent in my..um..laundry, my fuzzy rug, the ability to be educated, the freedom to choose, free will, grace, salvation, hope, faith, redemption, relief from temptation, complete freedom, my country, patriotism, my president, the right to vote, the ability to drive, my car, being able to have clothes and necessities and random dumb things I buy at Target, my sisters, my mom and dad, my pseudo-parents Mike and Kathy, my 2nd pseudo-parents Jason and Mary, my pseudo-siblings Chris Kristin and Madison, my entire family, my grandmother who left me the money I survive on in college, being able to go wherever I want, being able to go to Wal-Mart at 2am, driving with my windows down and heater on my feet on a cold night, listening to John Mayer and Michelle Branch while driving, Carabbas and their parmesean chicken (YUM), all the experiences I have had and those that I will have in the future....there's probably more but I need to move on, lol. ^-^
TRIGGER 2::: I have gained........knowledge and wisdom from my family/schools/friends, experience from my pain and tears, the ability to break through tough situations and still stand strong, the hope that I am not alone, the hope that there is someone out there for me whom I will eventually find, many cool and useful skills and talents in the areas I like (web design, guitar, etc), the ability to hopefully interpret the vibes and emotions of others correctly...and more, I'm sure, lol. In life I truly believe that there is more to gain then to lose if you keep an optimistic viewpoint on things.

Wednesday Whatevers
1. Do you believe that there is a "perfect" communism? (As in one that actually works?) No, I don't believe any form of communism will ever work in our society. People are too human and judgemental to live in a place where class lines are supposedly invisible. Eventually there will always be hierarchy and in my opinion communism will only lead to destruction.
2. What famous historical figure do you think you are similiar to in some ways? Erm...I can't think of anyone historical right now...
3. What games did you play as a kid? I played tons of computer games when I was younger in elementary school and on. With my younger sisters we used to play school, different play-games with Barbies (although that was rare, I was never a Barbie girl, lol), and there was this one game I think we called "Granny" where I would hide under a blanket and then throw it off and pretend I was some animal that my sisters would have to "guess"...the funny thing was that Lisa would play the Granny and Amy (the youngest) would play the Grandson, go figure. When I would toss the blanket off the "Grandson" would go "What is it!!! What is it!!" and I would make some noise or something and Granny would go "Its a CAT!!"...Grandson: "Aww...here kitty, kitty..."...Granny: "LETS EAT IT!!"...Then I would dive back under the blanket and come out again as something else...maybe more ferocious so I could attack the "Grandson"...lol...pretty wacky, eh? ^-^

Wednesday What's On
What's On your spice rack Right Now? Lol, the only spice me and stina own is this Italian spice stuff that we never really use. I need to get some oregano though, I love that stuff. ^-^
What's On your Thanksgiving Day menu Right Now? Wow, I have no clue...I would have to call my Momma to ask! Probably the usual...turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberries, bread, stuffing, pumpkin pie, whipped cream...wow...I can't wait! Mostly I just can't wait to see my family again...its been almost four months...*snif*...

Daily Dirt
1. Watcha doing online right now other than DailyDirt? Answering questions to other memes and avoiding studying for my algebra exam. :p
2. Are you downloading anything? Nope
3. You got porn I bet!! Tell me the truth, am I right? Uh, no.
4. You sharing your PC with anyone? Well, considering the one I'm typing on right now is a campus computer, yes.
5. Whats the last website you surf (other than DailyDirt or your own)? The last one? Uh...probably livejournal.

7th Heaven
01. Have you ever had a surprise party? I've given/been to like 2 or 3 surprise parties...no ones ever been able to throw one for me though, hehe. I always end up finding out somehow, even when I'm not snooping around, lol.
02. What makes someone lame? Really really really horrible pick up lines.
03. What do adults do that you will never do? Shut their kids outside the house when its 40 degree weather even if I'm mad at them.
04. What do children/teens do that you would have never done? Have sex really young.
05. Forever young...do you want to be forever young? No, where's the wisdom in that?
06. Do you really want to live forever? It would be cool to see things change in the world over time but I would have to suffer the deaths of people I love over and over as I continue to exist.
07. What could make you so happy right now that you would cry and laugh and sing? If I knew my calling in life from God.

I see you want to learn how to do Flash, too! LOL! Everytime I start something I never get around to finishing it. I have a book, but maybe should start right at the beginning!

Hi Melissa! You changed your site layout! It’s quite “freezing”! Oh well, it’s almost Winter. Except it is going to be a whopping 52 degrees here in Seattle tomorrow! Anyways, Happy Thanksgiving, and thanks again for the links to the Guitar sites. And also, thanks for the email :)
Romans 12:15. Awesome!
