Crumpled Notebook

“Ms. Melissa, is it a sin to have a BB gun?”

The teen drop-offs after church are always interesting. But hey, at least the kids are thinking about sinning versus not sinning.

So I’m heading up to WordCamp tomorrow in SF for the day. It’s basically a conference for users and developers of Wordpress, which is my blogging software. Hopefully I’ll learn some cool stuff. At the very least, it’ll be fun hanging out with computer/blogger people and not people who look at me funny when I talk about Wordpress.

So, my Blackberry Curve got lost/stolen over the weekend at the movie theater. But today, I found an identical phone on Craigslist for $100. Actually, at first I thought I may be someone trying to sell my stolen phone and arranged to meet the guy. But alas, it wasn’t my phone. However, $100 for a replacement versus $400 for a replacement of the same phone is much better since I didn’t qualify for any discounts from AT&T or Amazon since I just bought this phone a couple months ago.

All in all, I’m okay. I was really super annoyed this weekend. The thought of having to buy a new phone before vacation next month did not make me happy. I’m still not thrilled to be out $100, but it could be a lot worse. God is pretty good to me, huh?

If you can see that, it says it’s raining right now in Kentucky. If you could see the doplar thing (for some reason, it wouldn’t show up in screenshot), you would see that almost the entire state is covered in green for the rain.

It’s raining there because it always rains on my birthday–at least in Kentucky. My mom tells me it was storming when I was born, and every birthday since then until I moved to California, it has rained back home. Seriously. Not one that I remember. Even if just for a few minutes, pop-up thunderstorm, it rained.

I usually check the weather back home on my birthday too. My first year here, it was a weird feeling, not to have the rain. I kinda like the rain. I’m also sure that if it EVER rained here during the summer, it would rain today. But alas, I’ll have to settle for the fact that I know it’s raining in Ky and probably will every year for as long as I can remember.

Give me your eyes for just one second
Give me your eyes so I can see
Everything that I keep missing
Give me your love for humanity
Give me your arms for the broken hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach
Give me your heart for the once forgotten
Give me your eyes so I can see

Here is the song that goes with it. It’s by Brandon Heath. This is just a random YouTube Video. The song isn’t really about 9/11, it’s just a tribute video.
