o.O

It's been a while, this I know. I've tried to find some internet to blog three times now, but sadly all three times it hasn't worked. Until now that is!
For some uknown reason the stupid computer is running so slow. It's updating itself, and decided that it needed to run SUPER slow. We're talking like snail mail slow here people.
I'm trying to think of what I have been up to. AAB yesterday was a lot of fun. There was this huge group from Cottonwood Church (I have no idea where it is). Their youth pastor was from Australia, like he's been here for only a couple of weeks. Anyway they came with our normal group to go pray for this lady. She has some lung diesease, and is bed-ridden. It was really cool becuase one of my fellow Movement students, Jessica, opened it up, and then opened it up for anyone who felt led to pray to pray. One of the Cottonwood kids was the first one to jump on that. What was so cool about it was I had heard him a few minutes before telling his friend how he didn't like knocking on the doors asking random people if they needed prayer because it threw him way out of his comfort zone. But there he was standing in this woman's living room praying for her healing.
Something I realized recently was how many homeless people you see wandering the streets. What really brought it to my attention was a comment my roommate's mom had made. She said, "Don't you ever wonder how so many people could have lost where they are going in life, and end up living on the street corners?" That got me to thinking, how do all these people end up like that? I mean I've noticed all the homeless, but it's never really hit home. They all have stories, they are all there for one reason or another. It's kind of heart-breaking driving around seeing all of them.
Me and two of my roommates went to Hollywood the other night. We went to this mall on the Walk of Fame, and there were all these strangely dressed kids. We found out that there was an Alice in Wonderland party thing, and if you dressed up you could go into Hot Topic and get free posters. I felt so at home with these kids. They were all emo/goth kids. It was pretty funny. I turned to my roommates and was like, "Now these be my people."
Random story, we took the Metro subway thing to Hollywood. My roomie only had a $20, and it's a $1.25 for a ticket. The stupid machine gave her $19 in change. Litteraly change, it was one dollar coins.
Those are about all the random stories that I can think of.

Doing something more....

Here is a blog started by a couple of teenage boys when they were 16 or 17. I think they're 19 now. Regardless, they got sick of living the average teenage life, and decided that they wanted to try and make a difference in the world. They started this blog with the idea of writing about issues teenagers deal with, and having teenagers comment on them. These kids have done some amazing things. They helped run a political campaign, they have written a book, and now they go around holding conferences trying to inspire young people to do something.
I give mad props to these young men. Check them out. It kind of makes one envious thinking about what they have been able to accomplish. But then if you really stop to think about it, we all could be doing something like this. Most of us are just too lazy...

Mmm... Coffee...

Sorry about the random incomplete-ness of the last blog. I was at the place called Stories, and then my laptop died. Sadly there were no plug ins for my charger. I know story of my life... Just kidding...

Hmmm... So what has been going on with my life.

My roommate did some of my laundry yesterday. Then I did the rest of my laundry. Which was a super good thing; I had about three weeks of laundry backed up. Which was mostly my fault, but I was busy and one week the power was out. Washers and dryers do not work without power :(

Never fear the power is back on, and that is all behind us.

Now I'm sitting here, the coffee is gone, and I'm surfin' te web. It's pretty and sunny today. I love it. I keep trying to find a video of what we did at Pastor's school, or of the video promo for the Movement. But I can't find anything which is making me a little angry...

Oh well, it just keeps freezing my computer... so toodles for now

Stories...

I am at a coffee shop called Stories... It's pretty legit, I quite enjoy hanging out in coffee shops. Anyway I'm exhausted. We got back from Pastor's School this morning at around 5. I didn't get out of bed till one. Pastor's School for those of you who are wondering is this huge pastor's conference down at Tommy Barnett's church in Phoenix. It was so much fun.
