Random Things: Episode 2
It's been a while since I've posted so I decided to do another "Random Things" post in order to tell you about all of the things that have been on my mind lately. You can find the first installment of "Random Things" here, if you are the curious type.
Here we go! In no particular order...
Edited to add: And in the lengthiest of lengths! Sorry... maybe I should have tackled these in separate posts... too late now!!
Thing the First: No-Poo (is a horrible name for this)
No, I'm not constipated, but thanks for the concern. No-Poo is basically not using commercial shampoo, hence "No-Poo". However, I think that is a terrible name and if I use it (which is rarely) I always follow it with "is a horrible name for this". Not to be confused with not washing my hair (which I still do), this is simply not using the shampoos available on everyshelf, everywhere. Those shampoos pretty much across the board have Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) as the second ingredient (water is the first). Now I'm not one of those people who is typically concerned with the "chemicals" I'm putting on my body (because EVERYTHING IS CHEMICALS), but when researching my loss of natural curl, greasy everyday, frizzy, and itchy scalp issues, I came across this alternative which claims that SLS is the cause of my problems. I think it's pretty hilarious that the most common No-Poo (is a horrible name for this) method is baking soda (as shampoo) and apple cider vinegar (as conditioner)... which is SUPER harsh on the hair of like half the people who try it! My method currently is a shampoo from the health food store, and once that runs out I'll be trying J.R. Liggett's Shampoo Bars because they seem totally awesome :)
Thing the Second: Camping
It's finally summer!! I really want to go camping!!!! ... The End.
Thing the Third: School
I'm going to be applying for Graphic Communications & Print Technology. AAAAAAHHHHHH (is the sound my anxiety makes). I'll keep you posted on that journey.
Thing the Fourth: Communication Fail
I read (actually listen to, because audiobooks are conveniently hands-free) a lot of Young Adult Fiction. I generally find them to be more engaging, entertaining, and diverse (also, less pornographic and/or wild west) than Adult Fiction, so they are my go-to. But right now, I'm listening to a series that is basically "The Bachelor" for determining the wife of a Prince in a dystopian America-esque place. [For the record, this is a bad way to prepare for marriage.] The characters are young and for the most part have not had very much relationship experience -- which isn't in itself bad... after all, neither have I -- but OHMYGOSH their communication with each other is horrible!!! I just listened to a whole conversation (probably the fourth of this type in this book alone) between two lovebirds where neither of them is willing to be the first to admit that they love the other, both are no-at-all-subtly trying to steer the conversation so the other would say it, and the scene ended WITH NEITHER SAYING "I LOVE YOU" (or even "I really like you", or "I can't imagine life without you", or some other way around saying any kind of commitment to how they were feeling)!!!!!! No, no, no. Bad, bad, bad. Based my years of collecting do's and don'ts of communication (of which I am still not an expert): If you can't even communicate the nice things in a relationship, how do you expect to be able to constructively communicate the negative. Say what you feel, and say it as eloquently as you can; if the other person has to read between the lines, you have not communicated effectively. </Rant>
Thing the Fifth: Packaging
I recently saw this new packaging of Tic-Tacs...
Which at first glance makes the average person go, "Holy Stink!! That huge container must hold so many Tic-Tacs!!! It says 200 and that this is limited edition!!! And isn't so cool how they made this little window so you can see all the lovely uniform pieces?!?"
But it makes me go, "Holy Stink!! Those product designers are geniuses!!! They have perfectly created a product that looks super tempting to the consumer!! Isn't it so brilliant how they made this huge container and this little window to manipulate the average person?!?"
Don't be fooled average person. That container is only half filled with Tic-Tacs. I'm tempted to say "Packaging: Win", but it makes me sad that people are so easily manipulated in our society. And that members of that same society actively work to deceive people, and go even so far as to wrap it up in a pretty package.
Thing the Sixth: The Endeavor
So yeah... about that Endeavor that only happened for two days... oops. It was a cool thought (possibly overshare-y?) and I may or may not bring it or something similar back. I'm still in need of something to help keep me accountable to myself... we shall see!
Thing the Seventh: The Purse
I finished the purse! Quite a while ago actually...
I did take pictures! I'll make a post of it soon, I promise.
(Part 1 and Part 2 if you need to catch up)
On a related note: I have a lot of crafty projects on the go and will probably post about those as well...
Thing the Eighth: TV Show Finales
Why are all the shows I've been watching lately ending at the same time?!?! No, no, no. Bad, bad, bad.
Thing the Ninth: Feelings Chart (where have you been all my life?)
Found this on the internets... Wish I could physically refer to it in every conversation about "feelings" without that being weird....
Thing the Tenth: Hyperlinks
... Is it obvious that I just learned how to properly use hyperlinks? I'm sorry that I'm a little obsessed, I promise to try to be less hyperlinky in the future.
Stay tuned for tomorrow's Thing the Eleventh: Teal In My Hair (must be read in the tone of Finding Nemo's "Fish in my hair!!!") Just highlights, but boy am I stoked!!! I'm sure there will be pictures on Facebook :)
Toodles, my lovelies!
I may have to make a legitimate gold star for anyone who actually reads all these page-and-a-half posts. If this be you, comment and I will at the very least give you a virtual high five, and quite possibly work on a way to actually give you something (possibly handmade)... ;)

"Wait" (a poem by Russell Kelfer)
Desperately, helplessly, longingly, I cried;
Quietly, patiently, lovingly, God replied.
I plead and I wept for a clue to my fate
And the Master so gently said,"Wait."
"Wait? You said wait?" my indignant reply.
"Lord, I need answers, I need to know why!
Is your hand shortened? Or have you not heard?
By faith I have asked, and I'm claiming your Word.
"My future and all to which I relate,
Hangs in the balance, and you tell me to Wait?"
I'm needing a 'yes,' a go-ahead sign.
Or even a 'no,' to which I'll resign.
"You promised, dear Lord, that if we believe,
We need but to ask, and we shall receive.
Lord, I've been asking, and this is my cry!
I'm weary of asking! I need a reply!"
Then quietly, softly, I learned of my fate,
As my Master replied again, "Wait."
So I slumped in my chair, defeated and taut,
And grumbled to God, "So, I'm waiting ...for what?"
He seemed then to kneel, and His eyes met with mine
And He tenderly said, "I could give you a sign.
I could shake the heavens and darken the sun.
I could raise the dead and cause mountains to run.
I could give all you seek and pleased you would be.
You'd have what you want... but you wouldn't know Me.
You'd not know the depth of My love for each saint.
You'd not know the power that I give to the faint.
You'd not learn to see through clouds of despair;
You'd not learn to trust just by knowing I'm there.
You'd not know the joy of resting in Me,
When darkness and silence are all you can see.
You'd never experience the fullness of love,
When the peace of My spirit descends like a dove.
You would know that I give, and I save, for a start,
But you'd not know the depth of the beat of My heart.
The glow of My comfort late into the night,
The faith that I give when you walk without sight.
The depth that's beyond getting just what you ask,
From an infinite God who makes what you have last.
You'd never know should your pain quickly flee,
What it means that My grace is sufficient for thee.
Yes, your dearest dreams overnight would come true,
But oh, the loss if you missed what I'm doing in you.
So, be silent, my child, and in time you will see,
That the greatest of gifts is to truly know me.
And though oft My answers seem terribly late,
My most precious answer of all is still "WAIT".
Quietly, patiently, lovingly, God replied.
I plead and I wept for a clue to my fate
And the Master so gently said,"Wait."
"Wait? You said wait?" my indignant reply.
"Lord, I need answers, I need to know why!

Random Things...
Hey there! I've just come off of a week of cold-and-flu and my brain is still a little bit mush so... this is going to be random. These are all things that have been floating around in my brain lately, in no particular order...
Thing Number One: Puffs Tissues
With my fore-mentioned cold-and-flu, I have become very attached to these wonderfully soft things! I haven't really expressed my love very nicely (think about it for a second...), but I hope that they know how important they are to me.
Thing Number Two: Crayola Twistables
I have long wanted to be one of those people who highlights and makes notes in their Bible, but I've been too chicken to actually do it. UNTIL NOW!!! I have discovered the perfect highlighting tool! These crayon-not-crayon things are amazing! No bleed through, no rub off, not too dark, no page ripping or rippling, so cheap (yet essentially the same thing as what is marketed as a dry bible highlighter) ...I can't think of anything much else to say about them, all I want to do is use exclamation marks! !!!!!
Now that I've got the highlighting part down, I feel like my next step is to work up the courage to use my pen. I've researched it to death and have my archival ink pens (temporarily misplaced, but somewhere in my room)... soon, I think I'll bite the bullet soon.
Thing Number Three: Missions
I have some friends who were just on (I have trouble keeping track of dates in general and it goes completely out the window when I get sick, so... possibly still on?) a mission trip, and it's got me thinking about missions again. I haven't been on one in a couple of years and would love to go on one again, but even more than that, I've been thinking about the impact they've had on my life already.
I never did have the same reactions that most have on their mission trips. The only culture shock I experienced was in the airports and possibly with the food, I didn't feel my heart breaking at every turn, and I have always been disappointed with my lack of ability to communicate through the communication barrier.
But that's the bad news.
I always just saw people who were filled with more JOY than most people up in North America can claim to have, who loved Jesus more ENTHUSIASTICALLY than any Christians I had ever met, and who lived with more UNDERSTANDING of what evangelism is than I had ever understood. Rather than giving all of the blessing, I always felt more blessed -- I was the one receiving the life-changing!
Don't get me wrong, I have no doubt that my assistance in building their church, painting their pews and shutters, doing some children's features, and heartily thanking the ladies that cooked every meal for us, was a blessing for them, but... I can't help but feel that I still got the long stick, and that is what I've been thinking about...
I am reminded of how every time I came back home I was even more grateful for the abundance that I already had, and that I didn't care at all about gaining MORE. I was abundantly grateful for the love of family and friends and church. I felt inspired to live joyfully and simply, thanking God for each day.
Those feelings had faded (some quite a bit) until I was praying for my friends and their trip. I'm grateful for these reminders and I'm trying to live by those understandings again.
Thing Number Four: My Youth Group <3
We've had some younger teens join our group in the last couple of weeks and I gotta tell you, it has given me a brand new perspective on how awesome my "regulars" are! I am so proud of those teenagers, I feel like a parent, looking at them and thinking, "That's my kid!" The amount of growth and maturity I see as they welcome these younger (and more annoying) kids and make them feel like a part of the group... I just can't stop telling them how awesome they are and how proud I am of them. They rock and I'm so lucky to get to witness that!
Thing Number Five: Meaningful Friendships
Friends I can have deep talks with, do stupid things with, and be my usual quirky self with, all within a couple of hours, are awesome. I'm grateful for every one of those friends and what they add to my life.
Thing Number Six: Sherlock
I was introduced to BBC's Sherlock over Christmas break. I watched the season 2 finale with the same "WHAAAAAT!?!" reaction as everybody who has seen it, and resigned myself to waiting in sorrow for who knows how long until season 3 became a reality.
BUT I have recently discovered something that has sparked my excitement again! I won't bore you with the details (if you want to know them, ask me sometime), but the short story is that I realized while watching an episode of Murdoch Mysteries that the BBC show is not just a loose interpretation of the character known as Sherlock Holmes, but that each episode very closely ties into a specific Sir Arthur Conan Doyle writing! !!!!!
Needless to say I am preparing to get a little nerdy about all things Sherlock :)
Plus! The creators of the BBC show just released three words as clues for what is coming up in the 3rd season (one for each episode, I assume) so... yep, (of course) now I just HAVE TO figure out which original story they refer to.
And lastly...
Thing Number Seven: Preparation
God is always teaching me something, but there are moments in time when I suddenly realize how several different things in my life (friendships, sermons, Bible study, etc.) have been combining to teach me the same thing.
I just had that "Aha!" moment yesterday in church, when I realized that God has been teaching me what He expects of me in relationships.
I'm not really sure how to put this next part... What I've been learning is certainly useful right now, but all of the learning has been specifically... wife-related...
Uh... you may recall that I am not currently in (nor have I really ever been) in a relationship, so... perhaps you will join me as I say "????" (with just a little bit of "!!!!!" thrown in there)!
I'm not really sure what to make of this yet, but I've always been convinced that God will lead me into a relationship when I was "ready", so it's been kind of fun to learn about and embrace (more now, than ever before) His design for marriage.
And maybe (just a little bit) begin to get excited about what He has in store for me.
Though I should mention that, even with this "Aha!", He hasn't really given me (or I haven't properly understood) any indication of who/when. I'm just in the preparation stage :P
That's all for now my lovelies :) I hope you've enjoyed this snippet into my brain. It's a little crazy, even to me, that ALL of those things were simultaneously on my mind! Brains are amazing, God is amazing.

One of the blogs of which I am a stalker is the blog of author Maggie Stiefvater.
She is frequently hilarious.
Case in point. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do :)

Two Statues...
I found this joke the other day. It brings me great joy!
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
For decades, two heroic statues, one male and one female, faced each other in a city park, until one day an angel came to them. "You've been such exemplary statues," he announced to them, "I'm going to give you a special gift. I'm going to bring you both to life for thirty minutes, in which you can do anything you want." And with a clap of his hands, the angel brought the statues to life.
The two approached each other a bit shyly, but soon dashed for the bushes, from which shortly emerged a good deal of giggling, laughter, and shaking of branches. Fifteen minutes later, the two statues emerged from the bushes, wide grins on their faces.
"You still have fifteen more minutes," said the angel, winking at them. Grinning even more widely the female statue turned to the male statue and said, "You want to do it again?" And he replied, "Yes, very much. But this time let's switch positions. This time you hold the pigeon down and I'll poop on its head."

"You still have fifteen more minutes," said the angel, winking at them. Grinning even more widely the female statue turned to the male statue and said, "You want to do it again?" And he replied, "Yes, very much. But this time let's switch positions. This time you hold the pigeon down and I'll poop on its head."
