the highlighter's story

It was no ordinary highlighter, no this highlighter was special. it had a post-it note dispenser on the cap... And this highlighter was loved, loved by my roommate. She loved to study with it, you could even say it inspired her to study... that is until that day, that dreaded day when her highlighter was lost forever.
She didn't know what to do. she tried using the pink highlighter but it was kidnapped and murdered in Chris' parking lot. she almost given up hope... but then she concluded that her beloved highlighter could only be one place, lost in the deep dark depths of the couch!
She couldn't do the job alone so she enlisted my help. we took the couch tipped it over and jiggled it. then we stuck our hands down into the cushions and successfully recovered the hostage highlighter! Much rejoicing!!! the post-it highlighter is finally back home safe and sound... it can only be explained by a miracle.

BEBO NORMAN

I went to see Bebo at the Clayton Center. He was so good. i pretty much love him.

dude, where's my car?

As most of you know i am completely un-stealthy and i'm basically the worst liar ever. Now i'm definatly ok with these character traits, but they do make it difficult for me to pull off any kind of practical joke. Let me tell you about the most recent failed attempt.
Last night after going to Krispy Kreme Megan and I rode with Chris back to the dorm in order to gather up Liz and go to watch a movie at John Halley's apartment. After picking up Liz we had to swing by Chris' place so he could pick something up. well he parked his jeep and ran into his apartment leaving all us girls in the car. Meg had the brilliant idea that we should move the car so he'd be confused when he came back out. so we searched for the keys hoping he'd left them in the car, he hadn't. Plan B was quickly implemented. Megan put the jeep in nutral, liz jumped in the driver's seat and Meg and I got out to push. Now all three of us girls were laughing histerically the entire time of course. So Meg and I are pushing the Jeep, we've got it almost all the way out of the parking spot (we were pushing up hill mind you) and Chris comes down out off the apartment and totally catches us in the act...CRAP!!! Chris told us that he walked out the door and heard this histerical laughter and decided he better make it downstairs asap. it was pretty funny, and chris was indeed confused but not in the way we'd hoped.

P.S. Meg and I would have had the Jeep all the way across the parking lot if we hadn't had to push up hill

some folks just make me laugh

so this funny thing happened to me today while i was tutoring. for those of you who don't already know i tutor this old man named luther. now when i say old man i'm not kidding, he's like in his seventies. anyway, he's a rather interesting fellow. usually during our tutoring sessions he will say something thats kind of crazy or off the wall and today was no exception. so today as he is signing off on my time sheet he starts telling me all about why he LOVES his red pen. i believe his exact words were, "i just love red ink because it reminds me of the blood of Jesus Christ." i pretty much had no response to this other than to smile and chuckle to myself. i think its so great that he can find a little bit of Jesus in his favorite red pen.

I will extol the Lord at all times;
his praise will always be on my lips.
My soul will boast in the Lord;
let the afflicted hear and rejoice.
Glorify the Lord with me;
let us exhault his name together.

I sought the Lord and he answered me;
he delivered me from all my fears.
Those who look to him are radient;
thier faces are never covered with shame.
This poor man called, and the Lord heard him;
he saved him out of all his troubles.
The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him,
and he delivers them.

Taste and see that the Lord is good;
blessed is the man that take refuge in him.
Fear the Lord you his saints,
for those who fear him lack nothing.
The lions weak and hungry,
but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.

Come my childern, listen to me;
I will tech you the fear of the Lord.
Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days,
keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies.
Turn from evil and do good;
seek peace and pursue it.

The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous
and his ears are attentive to their cry;
the face of the Lord is against those who do evil,
to cut off the memory of them from the earth.

The righteous cry out and the Lord hears them;
he delivers them from all their troubles.
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

A righteous man may have many troubles,
but the Lord delivers him from them all;
he protects all his bones,
not one if them will be broken.

Evil will slay the wicked;
the foes of the righteous will be condemned.
The Lord redeems his servants;
no one will be condemned who take refuge in him.
