Ok. So some basics about me. I'm 18. I'm going to be a Stewardess hopefully within the next year with West Jet, then when I turn 21 (and have all the freaking large amount of money it will cost) I'm moving to Australia for at least 2 years to go to school and do an internship with YWAM (Youth With A Mission. Yes, I am in fact a Christian and I'm training to be a missionary.). I'm currently unemployed because I was waiting for knee surgery (both knees... long story.) which now will not be happening (I get to be slightly crippled my whole life instead). So now I'm starting to look for a new job again that I can handle despite my knee problems. I love to sing, play the piano, act, and paint, and do many other really artsy things. I love to hike and camp but it's really difficult for me with the knee problems. I'm single, and not really looking, but hey, if I find the right person, I'm not against dating anyone right now, though the whole moving to Australia in 2 years thing makes things more complicated in that respect. So there's some basics, anything else you want to know just ask.

Song Quote of the Day:

"I guess it's gonna have to hurt,
I guess I'm gonna have to cry,
And let go of some things I've loved,
To get to the other side,
I guess it's gonna break me down,
Like falling when you're trying to fly,
It's sad but sometimes moving on with the rest of your life,
starts with goodbye.

I know there's a blue horizon,
Somewhere up ahead, just waiting for me,
Getting there means leaving things behind,
Sometimes life's so bitter sweet."

-"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly... who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who hae never known neither victory nor defeat." -Teddy Roosevelt
-"The tragedy of life is what dies inside a man while he lives." -Albert Schweitzer
-"Nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight." -Bruce Cockburn

-"To put meaning in one's life may end in madness, but life without meaning is the torture of restless and vague desire-- it is a boat longing for the sea and yet afraid." -Edgar Lee Masters
-"Freedom is useless if we don't exercise it as characters making choices... We are free to change the stories by which we live. Because we are genuine characters, and not mere puppets, we can choose our defining stories. We can do so because we actively participate in the creation of our stories. We are co-authors as well as characters. Few things are as encouraging as the realization that things can be different and that we have a role in making them so." -Daniel Taylor

THE ONTOLOGICAL PROOF OF NINJA'S

When we talk about the ninja, we are talking about the sweetest being ever-that is, we are talking about the being that which nothing can be sweeter can be conceived. So when we conceive of the ninja in our mind, we conceive of the being that which nothing sweeter can be conceived. But consider this: Is it sweeter to exist only in the mind or to exist both in the mind and in reality- outside the mind? Certainly, it is much sweeter to exist in reailty- flipping out and wailing on guitars is much sweeter when someone is actually doing it. So when we conceive of the the sweetest of the sweetest being ever, we are conceiving of the being that exists both in which the mind and in reality since the ninja is that being that which nothing sweeter can be conceived and that being exists in the mind and in reality, the ninja exists in reality. Thus the ninja exists-

LOL. I had to put something insanely confusing about ninjas on here, because my cousin is ACTUALLY a REAL ninja. I kid you not. And he's more my older brother than my cousin (we were raised together) so he's really protective... and he had to have his body registered as a weapon because he was the world champion in Ninjitsu... so basically don't mess with me. You might just find a ninja in your closet.
