got sleep?

So, I don't think sleep exists in college.... seriously. it's more like NAPS.

And because of my lack of sleep.. I skipped chapel today...


SHAME ON ME!!!

*shakes finger at own nose*

well, considering I don't plan on making a habit out of it, it's not a big deal.. right?

RIGHT.

but still..

who woulda thunk it?

MonicaDee skipped church!!

MonicaDee <3☼

Saved by the bell...?

Haha, so, yesterday in church I forgot to turn off my cell phone... I was JUST thinking about 'good thing I turned my cell phone off' and BAM it rings ... whooops... but the part that made me laugh was it was AS SOON as we said AMEN that the phone rang ... someone goes 'saved by the bell' and i laughed... really hard LOL.

who woulda thunk it? MonicaDee actually has a cellphone now that can go off in the middle of chapel ;-) whoops LOL better keep better track of vibrate & the power button ;-)

Second "who woulda thunk it"... and most important...

MonicaDee's in college.... Ohio Christian University, studying to be a Youth Pastor ... and classes start tomorrow... and she lives in a dorm with a best friend who she never thought would be a best friend... (love ya my Skinny Vanilla ;-D) OH and she has a job still @ Kroger :) wohooot! God is always good and faithful :)

three potential mates :) HAHA jk jk. guys are stupid, school & work are my only focuses for right now :)

Who woulda thunk it?...

MonicaDee is a college student ... :)

So ...

I'm 18.

w/ a job.

& a license.

+ college in two weeks.

Yeah ... wow. Who woulda thunk it?

MonicaDee's all growed up :)

I GRADUATE!

HOLY.
CRAP.
I'm graduating.

2-0-0-9 BABY! better believe I am done. My 4 years have been served and I am on my way to my release date June 6, 2009. I only wish parole would have come through but word is you gotta get good grades for that :-p

SO God has done a lot in my life for the past four years. I have been saved for four.25 years (March 9th, 2005). Four years of my salvation has been spent in highschool. And God has brought me through a lot. Deliverance from pain, deliverance from suicide, deliverance from so many sins and temptations.

Who woulda thunk it?
Monica made it through.

But ONLY because God's grace is sufficient and He is good and always faithful :)

It ACTUALLY can teach us something!

So I was watching One Tree Hill the other day, and basically Lucas, the good home town goody-goody guy gets dumped by his fiancee at the altar, then finds out she's dating someone else. so, he loses control and grabs a kid at a basketball game. Then, starts to get drunk almost everynight. His brother, who has been through life-shattering changes b4 and chose to get drunk to hide the pain b4 he came to his senses, (keep in mind, this is a very secular show) says to his older brother (by about three months!), 'There are no answers in the darkness'

There are no answers in the darkness. Darkness meaning Alcohol, Drugs, cutting, whatever you hide behind to get through the pain and numbness of life. Where you try to find the answer, where you seek satisfaction ... anyplace other than Jesus ...


There are no answers there ...

hmm .. wow.

Who woulda thunk it?

Monica actually learned something from One Tree Hill.

WOAH - it's not a JOKE this time???

Ever since kindergarten I've gotten that STUPID joke played on me ... it goes as follows:

Random idiot: Hey, girl, this guy over here, he really likes you! He wants to get wit you

Me (in my annoyed, get out of my face voice): Whatever. I don't date.

or

Me: You're not that lucky and I'M not that desperate


well TODAY ... that same thing happened ... it went as follows:

Sister: Hey, girl, this guy wants to get wit you. You see, he's my brother, and he really likes you. (I roll my eyes) No, fo real. He sweatin' you. (WHO SAYS THAT?!?!)

Me: No thank you. I don't date.

I proceed to walk away, thinking i escaped yet another lame joke that hasn't gotten any unlamer since kindergarten. As I'm walking way, I hear in the background and can't help but laugh with pity/a feeling of sympathy for the kid:

Kid (freshman age): See, I told you she didn't like me like that.

The sister (sophmore, maybe?): Don't sweat it. She don't deserve you no way.


WHAT?!?! He was for real?!?!?!

*laughs hysterically*

WOW ... unbelievable!

Who woulda thunk it?

MonicaDee broke a kid's heart today :-(

MonicaDee

?? Who does that ??

haha .. so I was at the library ... being ME, basically and talking to a friend of mine, when I noticed someone who looked cool :) not like ... cute, or hair looking crazy cool ... but their face was dug into a book and they looked NICE ... FRIENDLY ... FUN.

SO i said 'excuse me one moment while I go randomly introduce myself' and I did just that ... this was their response to my random introduction:

"Is this a dare?"

whoops. Wrong approach on my part :-/ SO, i smiled sweetly, laughed, and said ...

"No. I just like randomly introducing myself to people!" Then gave the BIGGEST grin ever because it seemed to amuse him when I did that ...

his response:

"WHO DOES THAT?"

my response, quite simply was... "Me!" *insert bigger grin here*

we talked, he said that he wished he was more outgoing and that more people should be like me :) yay! A stranger thought I was cool! (and not a creepy stranger either!!)

Who woulda thunk it??

I made a stranger/friend at the library :)

Monica <3

p.s. his name was Robert and he's funny :)

Seriously .. who woulda thunk it?

So the craziest thing happened today ...

I drove (FOR THE FIRST TIME) .. and DIDN'T kill anyone! Not even me and my mother! WOOT! and my pastor and his wife BARELY escaped! haha! jk jk. I DEFINITELY have work to do .. but I KNOW I'm doing better than I thought I would!

who woulda thunk it?

MONICADEE is driving!
