beggs and eacon

Since I have returned from camp things have been somewhat crazy. I had problems at home (that no longer seem a problem) and still struggling with other uncontrollable thoughts and emotions. Other than that I'm fine and dandy.

School books are stressing me out at the moment. They are much too expensive. I wish I could buy the previous editions but they frak with you by switching chapters around. Greedy publishers. I just with I had more money. Mass Effect coming out in a week doesn't help matters (though I think I'll hold off on it until books are out of the way even though it will be hard).

Speaking of which I got my Xbox back from repairs today. I was hoping they'd send me one with an HDMI port seeing as its been 2 years since they manufactured they without them. But naturally with my luck they had an HDMI-less one with my name on it :/. Though no complaints since I got a free repair and a free month of gold membership. No games to play online though.

I have also been looking at cars since my dads going to buy me one. So far I found a T-Bird I really like but am awaiting a response from the seller. Pretty excited. I will finally learn to drive that way I can finally get a real job (hopefully involving film).

The night we got back from camp I got a new tattoo. I'm really proud of it and thankful that I have such an awesome artist. Heres a picture

Apparently I love Zelda

Hunting High and Low

So right now I'm up in Lake Arrowhead with my church family having a fantastic time. We have an awesome cabin that blows last year's out of the water (no creepy paintings, fake jacuzzis, tables with naked women carved into them, or rooms we are not allowed to enter). So far I have indulged in games of Sweat, hot tubbing, delicious food, sledding in Big Bear, and some game in which they have to guess the person through descriptions. They are playing it right now but I am a little weary so have decided to stay out of the fray. Tomorrow morning we leave which is a total bummer because it feels like we just got here.

But the most important part of this trip is God. We are here to learn his word, to fellowship together, and speak to him personally. We have been having these awesome secluded sessions in which we just bask in His glory and hear what He has to say. The main theme had to do with humanity and sin so personally I needed to know what I was doing wrong. I know I am not perfect but I strive to be good enough to follow in the footsteps of Jesus. I can only hope so far I'm doing a good job of it (though I know I could be doing much much much better).

So here I sit on this here laptop de Cory listening to them making a ruckus upstairs hoping that the roof doesn't fall in on us (it sure sounds like it is). Wred is across from me working on drums and synths for Cory's music. Now he just went upstairs to take a break. I am alone. Listening to Sonata Arctica. Life is good.
