I'll post. I’m sorry, Katherine. Is that what you go by?
I think this might end up being the norm for the next two years. There’s sooooooooo much to talk about, but I really won’t have time to cover it in a meaningful way until the quarter’s over. I’ll try to give a brief update though, in list form? Sounds like a good idea to ME.

 

I’ve been ON about a lot of things lately. Namely:

 

Everything just so beautiful it’s enough to put me into some kind of dream state including…

 

SPRING! OH MY KNICKER BOCKERS HAVE YOU NOTICED!? It’s AMAZING!

So many times I’ve complained about the weather but really I’m so lucky. Yeah, there’s like 6 months straight of drizzle. So what? When the sun finally does come out, it’s not just the sun. The grass comes out (the grass that’s everywhere) and the trees and the blue of the sky and white of the clouds, and the red-orange of a brick building against the blue of that sky. After months of gray my entire world is suddenly and inexplicably so saturated that it’s surreal. My only qualm these days is that I only experience this bliss in passing—while walking to the bus stop or occasionally during lunchtime. Even that’s ok though. It’s gonna be Spring break in less than a month. And THEN it’ll be SUMMER. Ooooooooh ah-*drool*

 

Another thing that I have fallen in love with lately is saying “your face” so I apologize in advance if you end up having to read that somewhere later. I also love quotes very much. It’s now gotten to the point that I’ve decided to create another LJ for them, which ironically enough I’m gonna try to update every day and have been fairly successful at doing even though I haven’t updated this one in so long =/

 

I’m learning a ton in school (Mama!) and all my classmates are so great in their own special ways. I’m kinda working on this ghetto yearbook (but not TOO ghetto since we’re designers) that’ll hopefully happen at the end of the year or two years.

 

My classes this quarter are Color Theory, Typography, Figure Drawing, In Design, and New Media. Color Theory has been very informative but also pretty challenging. The teacher, Tom, is really buggin me and Atti out though (even though we still can’t resist him). Typography with Jill is a lot of work too but has been really fun for me, since every project in the quarter is done for an imaginary client that each student got to create for him or herself. Mine is real soft and cuddly and Japanese n’stuff. Enough said, right? Figure drawing is sooooooooo hard for me. I gots to focus like I never focused before! But I can definitely see myself improving. Although I’m really really slow and hardly ever get any drawing done in class, the teacher, Steve, said that I have a good sense of proportions, so I’m happy about that. In Design’s been cool. Not too much exciting stuff there since it’s similar to Illustrator that I learned last quarter. Linda’s still her great unbelievably laid-back Yoga hippie self though and that’s always entertaining. New Media’s been great, since I had a journalism module where I got to interview and write, which I didn’t think I’d be able to do at all in this program. Speaking of which, I think I have to go finish my blog that’s due tonight! Eeeeee! This wasn't brief, was it? Oh well.

Ok see y’all! Till next time, try to get some sun and blue and green and white and stuff, and be thankful for it!

 

With much love,

Bunny :),

Hope you hugged your mom a lot and sent many text messages to your co-workers.

Hey all. Sorry I haven't posted in a long time. Been really busy with school, but I'm out now for Winter break. I wanted to show you some of the work I did last quarter in my classes. Be warned it may take awhile to load, cause I have a lot of pics. But if you want, go ahead and take a look at my

Wondering what I've been up to lately? For starters, jumping on the bed.

So. My first week of classes is over. And I'm even more excited now than before I started. This year's going to be awesome. I'll have tons of work to do, yeah, but it's work that I won't dread coming to. This is a place where I feel like I can learn and buy and spend time on everything I need to, in confidence that I'll really use it in the future. The instructors are personally mellow, and academically professional--exactly what I want in a teacher, and the students seem both nice and intelligent enough as well. It's somewhat intimidating to be in a classroom full of artists for the first time, instead of being THE artist, but it's also exciting to interact with them.
So...just a heads up. I'm gonna be pretty busy for the next...2 years or so. I don't know how I'm gonna keep up the wedding planning with this going on but we'll see. I probably won't be on LJ as much anymore so depending on who you are I'm sorry and/or happy to inform you that I won't be reading/commenting in your journal very often. I promise to check in periodically though to make sure you haven't died or eaten a bad cheeseburger or a combination of the two.

Yesterday was mine and David's

My co-worker Peggy offered to do my wedding cake as her gift. She said she was gonna bring some cake books for me to look at and I was like "I probably don't need to, I don't want anything fancy". But after looking at them today, I guess I do. I just didn't realize how perty they are. Got a bunch of ideas but none them are quite right so I drew a diagram using all the different ideas. Hopefully she's willing to do it =)

I finally decided to join Napster so I could start compiling a list of wedding reception music. I've found tons of good stuff so far, but I'm not really sure how much of it is appropriate. Do you think all of the songs need to be "love songs"? Because a lot of what's special to me and David is more like general Christian music (which I think could apply to husband-wife relationship) but is actually about person-God relationship. Then there is that music that isn't wedding music or Christian music but is...well, awesome. I just want there to be something for everybody and also have it reflect us. Plus you should be able to dance to some of it. Aaaah decisions, decisions...

INTJs are introspective, analytical, determined persons with natural leadership ability. Being reserved, they prefer to stay in the background while leading. Strategic, knowledgable and adaptable, INTJs are talented in bringing ideas from conception to reality. They expect perfection from themselves as well as others and are comfortable with the leadership of another so long as they are competent. INTJs can also be described as decisive, open-minded, self-confident, attentive, theoretical and pragmatic.

I'm pretty sure this isn't what I got when I took the test a few years ago, but I guess it makes sense. Well...the decisive part doesn't make sense, but maybe that's just because I'm comparing myself to David.

Hey C.S. Lewis is INTJ. Woohoo!

According to this I shouldn't really be a Graphic Designer though. Aaaah I'm so confused.

And my other test came up with musical as my top intelligence! Maybe I'm just not taking them right...

I went ahead and created the community I was thinking about. Sadly, "Creative_Christians" was too long of a name so I couldn't use it. I decided on image_of_god instead, and I'm happy with that name. Explaination in the bio. I'm excited about what's going to happen with it, but as of right now, it's pretty lonely in there :(. So please join Greg ...and any of my other artsies XD.  I'm also kind of confused as I don't see a way to change anything with the layout of the site, hopefully you don't have to have a paid account for that. Ok now I gotta go notify christianity! Cya there!

-Bunny :D

Aaaaaah. It feels so hot today and, for Seattle, it is. I think they said a high of 90. Compared to Arizona, that's childsplay. I don't know how I survived down there =O

Things have been getting mighty busy lately. First I had a surprise birthday party for David (fanha )--that was a lot of work but it was really fun. You can check it out on his journal--should still be the latest entry on there since he like NEVER POSTS ANYMORE. After that I started seeing a lot of floral and wedding on clearance at Michaels and Jo-Anns and since then have immersed myself in wedding craziness. I got a planner first thing, which is helping a lot, but it's still a lot of work. The good thing is that so far I've been saving a ton of money by spending a lot of time on it. I think I've found the flowers I'm going to get which are pink and white tiger lillies. I made my first bridesmaid boquet today, or at least the beginnings of it--and I think it looks quite good : D. And....TADAA!!! I ordered my wedding dress today!!! I can't believe I actually did it. It's gorgeous and within my budget as well. The bad thing is I'll have to store it for almost a year because the wedding's not till next spring, but that should be fairy easy cause I'll just keep it in the box it was shipped in. Okay enough talking.

The Song of the Vineyard

 1 I will sing for the one I love
       a song about his vineyard:
       My loved one had a vineyard
       on a fertile hillside.

 2 He dug it up and cleared it of stones
       and planted it with the choicest vines.
       He built a watchtower in it
       and cut out a winepress as well.
       Then he looked for a crop of good grapes,
       but it yielded only bad fruit.

 3 "Now you dwellers in Jerusalem and men of Judah,
       judge between me and my vineyard.

 4 What more could have been done for my vineyard
       than I have done for it?
       When I looked for good grapes,
       why did it yield only bad?

 5 Now I will tell you
       what I am going to do to my vineyard:
       I will take away its hedge,
       and it will be destroyed;
       I will break down its wall,
       and it will be trampled.

 6 I will make it a wasteland,
       neither pruned nor cultivated,
       and briers and thorns will grow there.
       I will command the clouds
       not to rain on it."

 7 The vineyard of the LORD Almighty
       is the house of Israel,
       and the men of Judah
       are the garden of his delight.
       And he looked for justice, but saw bloodshed;
       for righteousness, but heard cries of distress.

I'm thinking about making a community called "Creative_Christians", cause I've been looking around and I can't find anything like that. I found one for Christian art but it's not very big. Plus what I'm thinking of is something with a very broad spectrum--for Christians with any kind of creative spark--anyone who does artwork, photography, music, writing--anything creative. I think this is an awesome idea but I'm not sure if I want to take on the responsibility of being a mod. Have you seen any community like this around? What do you think of the idea?

Thanks!
-Bunny :)

I got into the graphic design program--went to the enrollment meeting on wednesday. All the future students had to attend and we got to talk to graduating students and the professors. I was pleasantly surprised--they all seemed like very down-to-earth people (which is going to make a WORLD of difference for the next two years of my life). I've found the commute to seattle to be not as bad as I thought it would be. I have to transfer downtown but somehow that idea doesn't scare me like it used to. I guess it's a friendlier place to be in the daytime than at like 6 AM on Sunday morning, which is when we used to be there heading for church. Gotta start wearing the neck strap for my camera when this all starts up in the fall. DeviantArt Ho!

One suffering from depression may feel tired, sad, irritable, lazy, unmotivated, and apathetic.

Clinical depression is currently the leading cause of disability in North America as well as other countries, and is expected to become the second leading cause of disability worldwide (after heart disease) by the year 2020, according to the World Health Organization.^[6]

They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator…

Romans 1:25

…their idols are silver and gold,
       made by the hands of men.

 They have mouths, but cannot speak,
       eyes, but they cannot see;

 they have ears, but cannot hear,
       noses, but they cannot smell;

 they have hands, but cannot feel,
       feet, but they cannot walk;
       nor can they utter a sound with their throats.

--Psalm 115:4-8
 

but those who hope in the LORD
       will renew their strength.
       They will soar on wings like eagles;
       they will run and not grow weary,
       they will walk and not be faint.

--Isaiah 40:31

 

…because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

Romans 5:3-5

 

  Two leading causes of disability: heart disease...and soul disease. It's been said that hindsight is 20:20. It's also been said that you can't change the past, but that's okay, because the purpose of hindsight is change of the FUTURE. Where will YOU be in 2020? Will you be among the diseased who wish for death? Or among the living, with strength that doesn't fail, and hope that doesn't dissapoint?

Believe in YOURSELF if you want to be disappointed.

FALL in love if you’re aiming for the bottom.

And try to save the WORLD if you’re planning on staying here.

 

For GOD so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believes in HIM shall not perish, but have ETERNAL life.

-John 3:16
