A Few More Answers

Time to finish answering your questions from a couple months ago. Here goes…

D asks, “What is your favorite thing to blog about?”

I probably most enjoy writing funny posts.  But I don’t do it very often, because I have to be in a particular mood and be inspired.  I have an idea for one in the near future, though, so watch out! (Just need to take a particular picture for the punch line!)

Alissa asks, “Have you ever considered quitting the blog, and if so what made you decide to stick with it?”

No, I’ve never really considered quitting.  I simply enjoy this kind of writing too much.  At least at this point, I can’t imagine quitting blogging, though I know my blog may not always look like it does now.

Carolyn asks, “Do you know any Canadians???”

I have a few Canadian acquaintances and have had a few others through the years.  Actually, our class president my senior year of high school as from Canada, and we used to make jokes about what would happen if she was deported…would we still have our class reunions?  Of course, back then we didn’t know yet about Facebook and how that would make us not want to go to a reunion, anyway.  Cue next question…

Jennifer asks, “Have you maintained any relationships with people you went to high school with?”

I still talk to my 2 best friends from high school.  We get together every year or so, and email about that often.  That’s it though.  I’m really not the same person I was back then, and many of them aren’t, either.  I am Facebook friends with a lot of people from high school which really takes away any incentive of going to my 10-year high school reunion that’s coming up next summer.

And finally, Sarah asks, “How did you become a Christian?”

Great question!  I’ve actually gotten this one before, and here’s my answer.

That’s it for this round!  Feel free to ask me any more questions that you may have…though I can’t promise a quick answer (but I’ll try to do better)!

Dear Diary, Part 1

[For this month, I decided that I would give you one journal entry from sometime in the past (since I don't have journal entries from the future) each week. I did not actually write "dear diary" at the time, it's just the way I'm presenting them here. Enjoy!]

Dear Diary,
Yesterday was my 18th birthday. Mariah was sick on both Thursday and Friday. Anne was also sick yesterday. We had to go early to practice on stage for band. It really didn’t feel much like a birthday. We took a test in calc. I hope that I did well, but I t hink I did. I talked to Adam and Bryan after the test. After school I went over to the Marshall’s (Amanda and Kadee whom I tutor for). They had forgotten to get me a present so they put a candle in an ice cream sundae cone and lit it. They sung happy birthday, also.
After that, I went home. [Such a plot twist!] Mom was still there because dad had not come home yet. The pilot light was out and it was only 55F in the house. Once my dad came home, I let to pick up Erica. We went to the mall where I got Anne and Erica’s presents. We then went to Timberline [the best restaurant in Wichita!] and to the Warren to see “What Women Want.” It’s a good movie. I was very tired by the time I got home (12:45).
Today Grandma and Papa are to come over. We’re going out to eat for my birthday tonight…. [Next, I'm so shallow that I list everything I had received for my birthday!] I should find out what else I’m getting today.
I had a dream the other night. In it, I was watching a varsity boys basketball game when T (in his dress clothes) came up to me and put his arm around me. We were dating. I think I have a secret crush on him.
Youthfully,
Ronnica
