These Things Have a Way of Working Out

Ignore this post if you want to.

I'm so terrible about doing these. I've only posted this twice before on Facebook, but when I finally got around to reading some old blog posts and saw that Megan had done it on hers, I couldn't help but try it again for myself.


1.Put your music player on shuffle.
2. Press forward for each question.
3. Use the song title as the answer to the question.

What does next year have in store for me?
Begin With Me (Point of Grace)
Let's begin with this song. This answer, however, makes little sense.

What does your love life look like?
Lookin' for Love (Out of Eden)
l...o...l...!!!

What do I say when life gets hard?
O Thou That Tellest Good Tidings To Zion (Handel's Messiah)
um...yep.

What do I think when I get up in the morning?
Something Beautiful (Newsboys)
I wish that were always true.

What song will I dance to at my wedding?
Bless Me Indeed (MercyME)
Not great to dance to. Who is this DJ?

What do you want to do for your career?
Say a Prayer (CeCe Winans)
Exactly!

Your favorite saying?
Love Me Do (The Beatles)
It's true. Ask any of my friends. (not)

Your favorite place?
How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You) (James Taylor)
Awww

What do you think of your parents?
Isaiah 61 (Matt Maher)
Maybe... wise like a prophet... yeah, that's it.

Where would you go on a first date?
The World's Address (They Might Be Giants)
I'm not picky.

Drug of choice?
Less is More (Relient K)
Let's hear it for temperance! Whoo!

Describe yourself.
House of God (MercyME)
Amen! (sweet!)

What is the thing I like doing most?
I Know That My Redeemer Liveth (Handel's Messiah)
Whenever I get down... so much fun!

What is my state of mind like at the moment?
Minnie the Moocher (The Blues Brothers Soundtrack)
I guess.

How will I die?
Trading My Sorrows (not sure)
This fit so well grammatically that I laughed out loud, but I don't know what it means. I sounds good, though.

The song that will be played at your funeral?
Hot Cha (They Might Be Giants)
Terrible, terrible choice. Please DO NOT play this at my funeral.

The song you'll put as the subject?
These Things Have a Way of Working Out (Ceili Rain)
Alright. They do, you know.

The song that describes my friendships?
Hold Me Jesus (Rich Mullins)
I don't know if this is good or bad.

The song that describes my future marriage?
Gimme Some Lovin' (The Blues Brothers Soundtrack)
Again, not sure about this.

The song that describes my future children?
Nowhere Man (The Beatles)
Uh oh.

The song that describes what this winter will be like?
Higher Education and the Book of Love (Rich Mullins)
Homework and prayer. I can live with that.

The song that describes what people think of me?
Erasers on Pencils (Ceili Rain)
Huh?

The song that describes how I will do in school?
Youth Culture Killed My Dog (They Might Be Giants)
That definitely sounds bad.

The song that describes how nice of a career I'll have?
Darlington Darling (Moxy Früvous)
This is song about a factory worker.

The song that describes my personality?
My Deliverer (Rich Mullins)
I can't decide if this is sacrilegious or not.

Yeah, that was fun.

Housing Assignment Mania!

I got my home stay assignment in the mail this afternoon. It seems I'll be living with a Señora Concepción Barahona Águeda and her family, along with a Lauren Walker, who, incidentally, lives in Fallbrook.

It´s all coming together!

Jumping Right Back In

We went to the beach today.
It was pretty neat 'cause it was the first time I've been in over a year (I think). No, we don't go to the beach much. There was also spectacularly perfect weather. Something that I've only experienced at the beach maybe 3 times in my life.

And a tentative blogging schedule...
-First, I haven't given up or forgotten about the blog.
-I think I'll begin with talking about camp.
-Then I'll get around to describing Yosemite.
-And finishing my Half Dome slideshow.
-While continuing to talk about my preparations for Spain.
-And the rest of my summer.

Recently, it seems like I keep seeing people around who look like people with whom I go to school. This, of course, only serves to remind me that I won't see most of them for a whole year. Here's to you, college buddies. You are missed!

Later,
-Rebekah

Why not?

I'm back from camp! Eventually, I will finish the Half Dome slide show, and post about vacation, and about camp. But until then, I'll come back to the blog with this meme I got tagged with by Megan... Why not, really?

1. Link the person(s) who tagged you
2. Mention the rules on your blog
3. Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours
4. Tag 6 fellow bloggers by linking them
5. Leave a comment on each of the tagged blogger’s blogs letting them know they’ve been tagged

1. My hitchhiker's thumb bends back 90°
2. When people ask me for a definition, I give them an etymology.
3. I used to think I was a pessimist, but I changed my mind.
4. I start thinking about Christmas in September.
5. I don't like onions.
6. I can be a terribly lazy person sometimes.
   

I tag Ben the Biker, Michaela, Shelle Belle, and Tessa. Four will just have to cut it, because I don't know any other bloggers well enough to tag them, and I'm sure Megan will just be happy that I actually did anything with this. So, enjoy!

The Snowcones

More excitingly awkward wording from CVS. I'll post on camp when I find a computer. Till then!
