Who would have thunk it?? So many amazingly sweet changes in my life... it's almost as if I woke up w an entire family of people who LOVE me and are committed to see me grow! But it's so much more than just love, it's quite purposeful and wise... not the kind of love where you do some jacked up things but you meant well. It's the kind of love that is patient & prayerful (ugh. i ramble so well!)

There are so many people reaching out to me I have to actually schedule in all of the dinner invitations and times of just hanging out. I'm so... loved! The grace on my life is ridiculous, but I like it! hahaha. Besides, I know it isn't all about me anyway. One day I'll "pay it forward" (did that come out as cheesy as i think it did?).

I don't have a right to complain about my parentage or my beginnings, but I do have the first hand experience to declare that my God redeems and restores! I am a sister & daughter to many, surrounded by wise counsel, covered in prayer! love it!

Well, guess I better get back to the research. This whole academic things is rather time consuming! I'd rather be re-reading Harry Potter 6 :)

So, I went to ATL to present some undergraduate research and attend a graduate school fair... it went a little poopy :( I didn't place for the presentation contest, and the graduate school fair pretty much reminded me that I don't know what I want to do. And i think the whole trip reminded me that I barely know who I am. Outside of student, where's my identity?

I need a pet :( the pets who've been around awhile don't want to defect and seem comfy with their owners, and the new pets are... dead. so i keep buying pets and selling them back... sort of like going fishing and throwing the little ones back. waahhh!! no pets for me. oh well, i will just buy pretty things for random pets and spread the love all over HP :)

Acid stains you, Drugs cause cramps
Guns aren't lawful, Nooses give
Gas smells awful, Ya might as well live."

Call me Pinocchio!

I'm really just a puppet. I don't think I was so much intricately handcrafted in some old guy's shop as much as I'm just some cosmic mistake or maybe God just pooped out a brown girl :-) But I'm pinocchio and Sarah Christine is my faithful Jiminy Cricket who tries her best to keep out of trouble... well, irreversible trouble :-) I'm on a quest to be a real grown-up!! Oh boy do I want to be real grown up one day!!! Until then I'm this puppet, about age 12 on a good day. I'm waiting on the blue fairy to make me a real grown up, but i have to prove myself brave, truthful, and unselfish first. Damn! lol.
