Randomness

All day I've been thinking today was September 10. Now I find out it's the 9th. What's up with that?

I just spelled find in the above sentence dinf. I always knew my fingers were dyslexic. 

I'm bored. I'm waiting for my mom to finish what she's doing so we can continue with the movie. Something about a woman detective in Botswana (which I never knew was in Africa before today).

Tomorrow I get to have one of my bestest buddies over to spend the night. Then on Sunday we go to our outdoors church service at some friends' house. It's supposed to be our annual church picnic. I didn't know we had an annual church picnic.

Speaking of bestest buddies, I have 15 best friends. Basically that means I like them all the exact same. I just know some of them better than others. And most of the time, that's not my fault...actually, I have 12 best friends and 3 who I could add to their number with very little persuasion. Ack, I forgot one. So it's actually 13 best friends + 3. Not counting guys. And then there's a girl or two or three who I used to be best friends with, but...not anymore and let's leave it at that.

3 of the 13 are technically only older sisters of my friends (and another is the friend of the older sister of my friend) but being homeschoolers, we have the freedom to be friends with people who are almost 2 years older than them. (Actually the four of them range between 1 year and 1 month to 1 3/4 years older than me).

Can you tell I'm tired? I don't even know what I'm talking about anymore. And for me, that's saying a lot!

College classes start on the 26th. Some might consider me to become a public schooler at that time. To which I say...NEVER!!! Agewise, I'm only a junior in high school. Which means I have two more years of sanity. Okay, I really shouldn't be so mean.

BTW, to certain friends of mine who say that they are graduating a year early, because all they're really doing their "senior" year is reading (plus some college), I must admit to them that for my junior AND senior year, all I'm doing is reading (plus some college).

I have a LOT of reading to do. Plato. Ptolemy. Aristotle. Archimedes. Some guys whose names I have no idea how to pronounce (except, somehow, I have a hunch they're Greek). Thank goodness I got most of my Shakespeare, Dickens, Dante, and Chaucer out of the way.

Super excited for Super Sunday! Super *ahem* I mean, Celebration Sunday (it's an inside joke) is when all of our Household of Faith congregations get together for one gigantic church service! You get to see a lot of people you haven't seen since last Celebration Sunday, and I made a lot of new friends at Gleanings that I'll hopefully get to see there. Plus I got to know some people I already knew a lot better, which means that I'm more excited to get to see them now than I was at the last Super Sunday.

Well, I should probably go get my mom. Or go to bed. Either one.

P.S. You should really read this book. Notes from the Tilt-A-Whirl: Wide-eyed Wonder in God's Spoken World, by N.D. Wilson

I adore this book. Normally when I read a book, because I have such a good memory, I CAN NOT read that book again for at least a year. Usually it takes longer than that. But this book...I've read it at least twice times in the past year, and I could read it again. In fact, I am. N.D. Wilson is the son of the people who wrote The Fruit of Her Hands and Praise Her in the Gates and Reforming Marriage, for those of you who know what I'm talking about.

Really. I love this book. Can't speak for its doctrinal value, but it's fascinating.

Go ahead, read it.
