kristinas blog

www.kristinashepherd.blogspot.com
this is the link for my (extremely outspoken) friend kristina.
if you are a "churchy person" do not read.
may offend some people.
the views expressed on this blog are not the views expressed by amanda (me) because i am a very holy person and i would not think like that.

i only agree with half of what she says.

im not saying which half.

quote from her blog:
"There is NO point to trigonometry. One day are we just gonna be sitting down at the dinner table with our future family and then out of no where think "I wonder what the unknown side of that right triangle is... Maybe I should measure the other 2 sides and use a bunch of [messed] up formulas to find out what the third side is..." If you are gonna measure 2 of the sides, why not spring for the easier choice, and measure the one you want to know."

my eyebrow

on thursday i got my eyebrow peirced. i am happy to say that no cornpokers were involved in this process. just a really thick hollow needle that hurt more than a rusty corn skewer. the things people do for fashion amaze me.

my hair

my hair, in the past has been red, orange, green, purple, black, brown, and bleach blonde. so i decided i was gonna dye it blue. so me being me, i went out todsay and bought blue hair dye and i now have blue hair. but i also have blue clothes, a blue shower, a blue sink, and a blue towel. i think the next time i dye my hair I'll do it at someone elses house so i can turn thier house different colours not mine.

busy life

i allways thought i had a busy life running here, going there. (this was before i met scott and rose)

i now realize that my life is not busy it's long and boring.
today for instance i had to wake up..... way to much work.
then i have to go to work at 12 leave work at 2.
catch the bus from work to go baby sit @ 2:30.
after i babysit till 5 i have to go to station x until 10.
then i have to go back to work so rose can pick me up (sometime around 10)
tomorow i have to wake up at 6 and get a ride at seven.
go to the church office by 7:15 to [watch people] load all the equiptment for church
then i have to go to the church and [watch more people] set up the church,
stay for church, watch people take all the stuff down,
and then i have to go to work at around 12,
after 5 i have to go to the church office to help scott set up the sound system for street church.
and make several runs to tim hortons (for various people)
after street church, the street ministry ussually goes to tim hortons till all hours of the morning. than i get to finally sleep.
than i have to wake up at 7 to go to joannas house.


i dont think i have a busy life but i still dont wish it was busier.

tarot readings are creepier

Tarot reading for amanda

Love: The Fool

Touchstone: The Emperor

Career: Justice

-->Your love of independence wanes somewhat today under the influence of the Emperor and the Fool. You no longer feel that your emotional well being depends on freedom, amanda - instead you want sincerity and sharing with others. Having gone through a period of uncertainty in terms of love, you now want a secure, stable relationship - you are ready to commit to a lasting love. Your intentions are certainly admirable! In the professional sphere, you're going to be the embodiment of rigidity - a consequence of the combined effect from the Emperor and Justice. Nothing will escape your eagle eye: you'll notice the minutest error, you won't tolerate any sign of weakness. And that's all very well, provided you can, from time to time, admit to having made a mistake yourself. So don't take up too rigid a position, don't be self-righteous. Instead, try to be tolerant and listen to what others have to say.

this is my horscope. (creepy)

Are you worried about the psychological and emotional state of a friend?
Don't get yourself too worked up over it.
Your friend is probably more troubled about the well being of children than anything else.
In the meantime, be patient, and be a good listener.

good fortune

my fortune cookie from tonight said
"your keen senseof humor will make you many good friends"

oooohh hahahahahaha

the incredibles was probably the best disney movie ive seen.

the incredibles

just sitting down to watch the incredibles for the first time..

messed up

over half our church is messed they go to a church with a mission statement that states:
mission statements are lame!
so here’s ours....
to be the church for those who are sick and tired of playing games, who cry out to experience a touchableChristwho want to transform culture,who want to change their world.
but they start and spread rumors like kids in grade five and it saddens me that people dont have the common sense to stop rumors when they hear them. i heard a rumor about myself the other day. it got to my mom before i heard it. apparently i do crystal meth and i skip school alot.
OK, well dont blame a kid for skipping school, but i dont do drugs. people are screwed.

blogs

it is obvious to me that no one reads my blog anymore. i have had 2 comments from ten blogs. so sad. almost pointless.

how they do it.

ive often wondered how pastors come up with something to say every week but i think ive found it.
http://www.sermonassistant.com/index1.html
well rich pastors any way the others just steal material.

most blogs ive posted in a day (2 days)

i havent posted alot lately so i thought i'd make up for it today (with a couple laughs)!

life

my life lately has been a little hectic i cant complain, i have a home.
but for those of you who dont know ill catch you up to speed. a couple weeks ago my grandma was going to a home. but her home got some stupid flu thing so she was gonna move to my house.
i told my dad i didnt want to be there with her because i dont want to see her die, i want to remember the happy grandma i knew. so he then proceeded to tell me that im self centred, and he said he was very disappointed in me and a couple other words i wont mention on my blog. so i moved to my moms (in abbotsford), and she lectures me and yells about nothing. so a summary would be my dad "dislikes me", i "dislike" my mom, and my grandmas dying. scott quit because of stress,and stupid people and there freakin idiocy. and my boss got robbed, and i hate school. esspecially my science teacher, and my socials class is full of idiots. and everybody wants to "be my friend" and tell me "it's all gonna be o.k."
but i'm tired of it i realize your trying to help but it doesnt.

Haloscan commenting and trackback have been added to this blog.

by the way

by the way i got my report card and am happy to say i passed math.

songs

a wise man once told me that i could write songs, and play the guitar. hell i could even sing them.
but not in front of people. i dont know what it is but when i get up in front of people even a few people i freeze up and i just cant. i have so much support, and so many people behind me pushing me but i cant break the barrier i cant do it. he also told me stand up or shut up. so i shut up. to this day im shut up. and plan to stay this way.

the good ole dayz.

i find myslef hangin around an older generation of people than you'd find most 16 year olds.and i think it's rubbing off on me.
i was talking to my good friend kaitlyn just the other day and i found myself talking about "the good old dayz" when we were you and we used to run around and go out and play.
can you believe it i used to run. what a crazy thought. running. some dayz i wish i could go out and play, or run around the blok even. just for fun.
in this day and age the teenage generation has become so lazy it's not even funny.
take my brothers for instance, they are so lazy that if the phone rings they just yell "PHONE" at the top of theyre lungs thinking it'll answer itself or something but it never does. theyve adopted the new tradition of yelling my name every time it rings like they expect me to goet off my lazy ass to go answer it... it's quite sad.
i wont blog tomorow so dont read/ check my blog james.

home

life at home latewly has been a little hectic. i "extremely dislike my father for more than one reason. i now live in abbottsford with my mom who until two weeks ago i despised.
her car burnt to the ground outside my house on the day that i was going to move in.
a co-insidence????
i think not. maybe it was a sign from god....
in other news...
a few people from our church are comeplete idiots and they know the reasons why.
and what's the deal with this craig lowery guy that comments on jens blog? i think he' s on sumthin.
anyway.....
i have to go to sleep because if i dont ill never wake up.
please feel free to coment on my blog and disagree with any of my opinions because at this point i just dont care anymore.
yours truly

coffee

ok so i now work at this coffeehouse downtown and of course while im on shift i get free coffee. two months ago i wasnt a big coffee drinker but now i can't live without it. i drink probably an average of 5 or more cups a day and i ussually get to sleep around 3:30 and wake up around seven at the moment im extremely sleep deprived and coffee doesnt help ive had 6 cups today and it's been a good day i already have ADHD or sumthing like that and it's hard for me to focus on one thing at a time but school lately has been interesting. i'll sit in science class and learn about biology and notice birds outside and then i'll talk to my friends and ya. my brain goes a mile a minute and...... concentration.... i've given up.

brinks or tobacco

tonight at bible study we "didn't" have a conversation about which truck would be better to rob a brinks armored truck with guys with guns, or a tobacco truck with a guy smokin a cigarette. think about it this way an armoured car holds half a million dollars and a cigarette truck holds three million. i personally "wouldnt" rob the cigarette truck because the guy driving it's already half dead... what are the odds?
