This seems like a good font to work with.....usually ideas come after i write a bunch of nonsense first.....what is this really odd spacing? I don'tlike it. This is what happens when not tech-savvy people try the whole blogging thing.
Oh!! Here goes:) I was working with the title part...okay.
I intend to blog about Christmas break. What about it? I went home to New York! For two and a half weeks...which I didn't plan on doing, but my parents bought me a ticket because they knew I haven't eaten anything that qualifies as real food probably in months...bless them.
How was it? Good! It was good. I missed familiarity, of people and places I know and just things that are super normal to me, like good pizza. It actually kind of felt like I never left. Every place seems like home now, Redding and Utica. So maybe home isn't a place...it's just like...something someone carries in them. Maybe home is inside of you. You are home. Haha, crazy:) I'm a house. Good. Just kidding:)
Two super cool things that happened:
I "prayed" for my friend because he had a migraine...and it like...left. I say "prayed" because I didn't actually speak. I just held his hand, and he told me to say the words in my heart and they will go to his heart, so I did. Two minutes later, he tells me that his migraine completely left, and he went to the doctor the next day and the doc said that he doesn't have migraines. Like, the medical condition. And he thought he did. Yay:)
Other nice story, which didn't start so nice...
I went to get new glasses because mine are pretty rough looking now; we've been through a lot. So the people at the desk just wanted to process some paperwork, which didn't take long, while I was browsing for my next pair....and after looking for a while, I sat down because I was done looking. And I waited for an optometrist to call me up, but none did. So I got back up and wandered around some more. This cycle repeated for about an hour or a little more, and it ended with me calling my dad(yes, I'm a baby) telling him maybe I should just not get glasses because I've literally waited for an hour and was so pissed that I could probably kill cattle, bare-handed. I mean, I was so angry that I had tears in my eyes. I guess wasting time evokes emotions in me that usually don't surface. At the end of my phone conversation with my dad, someone finally decided maybe that girl who's been waiting for like an hour should be helped. My nice optometrist helped me pick out a pair...which took another half hour, but we did it. FINALLY I was going to pay for the shipping so they can send them to California, and another glasses worker guy comes up to tell me that I can get a free pair if I want because I waited so long.
The cool part of this was that on my way there, I felt God telling me that something cool was gonna happen when I go, but the whole time I was there, I was just like, "Look. Nothing happened and I'm just pissed because this is taking forever. Good."And I just pretended in my head that I made up whatever God told me so I couldn't blame my let-down on Him. So nice of me to stand up for Him, right? Lol...but as soon as Other Glasses Man came up, "Oh, You weren't kidding, huh?" It was really nice because God likes me and He's surprises me in nice ways:) He knows I like surprises:) Haha:)
So, there's that!
I like home! and my friends! and my magical sister Angie. and life. GOOD! Bye!!
