Mah Planz

Oh, hai.

I'm done with skool nao. :)

But the county doesn't think so, so technically, I'm not finished with school. Well, too bad. I had two exams, and they're over and done with.

I don't have to go back to high school until August, yaaaay!

But... I have to go to a pool parteh on the tenth. I have birthday to celebrate on the eighth. And no, it's not mine. ;) GUESS!

And I have Driver's Ed in July. :O

My car is not ready... it's still the piece of crap like the photos portray.

Darned title issues. I want it. It'll be purty once we're done with it. I don't want it to be junked becuz some dude in Florida won't transfer ownership! >:( Durn-ed government wants to ruin everything.

Have I still got your attention? Good. :)

And one big thing that's been straightened out... next Saturday (not tomorrow, sadly), I see my father again. :D And I see his wife and two of his kids. :D :D

And... I may or may not return with him to the northern side of NC.

I like the idea.

I really, really, really like the idea.

But I'm still thinking about it.

I have a week to decide. :) But the odds are really good. :D :D

Don't worry, the laptop shall cometh with me. As for intranet, I'll have to ask.

I hope they has wireless, like heah. :)

Still got your attention? Excellent. :D

I shall tell you things about my exams, because I'm bored and I have pretty pictures to keep you here. >:)

My first exam was one of World History. I wouldn't have HAD to take it if ol' Spencer (that's my principal, whom we have connections with, since him and mah Methodist-convert parents used to go to the same church he did) had kept his mouth shut about mah teachah exceptioning me from the stupid thing.

And for good reason, I was exceptioned. It was mindlessly easy.

It was filled out in 30 minutes. >:)

The Geo-metry exam, however...

Well, it wasn't so much hard as it was time-consumin'.

Darned calulator and pencil didn't work fast enough for mah taste.
Eighty questions... less than the history one, and it took me four times as long to finish it! >:(

Oh, well.

No more school carp until August.

Sophmore year... writing test... I hope they have a relatively up-to-date topic like they did this year.

Wake up, people, the fire alarm is funny! :D

One more thing, and then we'll be done and you can cleanse your eyes of reading about school.

We're going to Busch Gardens Williamsburg in late June. :D

Both of mah familia shall be there. I can only hope it won't be tense.

I can also hope that Jess goes and my little surprise will be in order. ;) ;)

We'll be there for the nb concert.

I shall try to be brave for Skittles, even if Pete isn't there.

I hope he is.

There, I'm done.

CZYA

Uhm...

Oh, hai.

It's been a while.

I can't believe I only blogged six times in April. :P
So... what's been happening with me?

Well.
I haven't listened to a full newsboys song in months. At least one or two. I haven't worn my newsboys shirts in a while. Squizzy has been grossly underused.
Why this is, or whether it is because of the... change... has yet be seen. It very well might be. Nonetheless, I need to hear them again, soon, due to the closeness of the release of ITHOG. Halp.

I've been listening to Skee-let, Family Force 5, RR... Jars of Clay... yeah.
I'm recovering from my strange sicknesses... kinda.
I've been getting to know my father's family better (and it's been a fun ride, I might add).
I... well, I dunno what else to say.

The school's proxy system is on the fritz again. Knock on wood. ;)

CZYA

One Ailment to Another

Oh. Hai.

How are y'all today?

Me? Oh, I feel better than I have in five weeks (especially since I felt the worst on Sundays). But with the departure of the headaches, the eyestrain... in comes the evil hanging toenail.

Ugh.

The toenail (not to mention cramping whose origin I'd rather not say) is pretty much worse than the aforementioned other ailments.

Nooo, the toenail is making my life... well, hell on earth. *careful not to curse*

I jammed my toe into my left shoe. It feels weird. I take a shiny light to it (this was two evenings ago), and realize I broke it... like far, far down it.

>:(

I'm debating whether I should show you.

It's... red. Not like skin can turn red, but like blood can turn red.

And with each passing night, it gets looser. Today was the first day that I had to actually wear shoes with the nasty nail.

And it was horrible. I was limping, the nail was being ornery (XD), and quite frankly, I didn't want to move.

So here I am, in desperate need of sandals. I hate my nails. Nothing but trouble. Same for those little tiny toes on either foot. Nothing but pain and suff'rin'.

*kicks something with left foot*

Should be fun, taking a shower tonight. *pout*

Okay, I'm done ranting. :) Y'all can go on with your happy Easters and such. Or in Skittles' case, Pussywillow Sundy

That was the only highlight of my day thus far - the fact that it's Easter.

CZYA

UNHAPPINESS!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, hai.

Guess what?

My Facebook account is disabled. >:(

I'm not happy.

I'm NOT happy.

Facebook was fun! Facebook was a reliable way to get up with Jess (who rocks!)! Facebook showed the world my cool fotos!

My cellphone fotos... *sniff* Gone.

My FB account... *sniff* Gone.

So, yeah.

I'm sad.

Saaaaaad, saaaaaad, saaaaaad. :'(

If anyone wants to help, please ask... and I'll give you a special email address to complain to. Remember, in your email, be sure to include my Gmail.

Why?

I tell you if you ask.

Everyone helps!

Please help-eth me out!

CZYA

Ugh!

Hai.

I'm sick again.

Whoop-dee-doo.

No April Fools jokes here. I'd much rather it was, though.

But no such luck.

My eyes hurt.

I strained them last night.

I was planning to stay up until at least midnight.

But then the strain set in.

I closed up my laptop, hoping to return to it.

Then I later turned it off and tried to sleep.

Two hours.

I lay awake in agony for two hours.

My eyes, sensitive to everything but pure darkness.

Light made it worse... closing my eyes made it worse...

And then the nausea.

Trust me, you don't want details on that.

Finally... around 11:30,

The strain settled... the nausea settled...

Woke up again at 6...

Told Mom what happened...

And there you have it.

I'm still worried about my eyes.

They still hurt.

Not as bad as last night, but still.

Prayer would be nice. :)

...

Wow. XD That turned into a little poem, didn't it?

Well, there it is. A blog post, that is.

Comment!

CZYA

Rednecks and Fire Extinguishers...

I'll explain the title at the end of the post. ;)

Anyway... today's main blog topic for tonight is...

*drumroll*
Family Force 5! Whoo!

*groaning from Skittles, Owan and Guitargirl, cheers from netsirK*

Thank you, thank you...

I am here to address and interpret the spiritual significance of the songs of Family Force 5... just so I can at least try to prove to you they're not all about dancing...

That, and it keeps my mind off you-know-what.

* Now... I have to explain why I Love You To Death directly references God... now, I'm very sure this is a misheard lyric, but this misheard lyric is purely why I put it there.

You can look up the lyrics if you'd like, but I'd like it if you would tell me what the real lyric is. ;)

"We'll be together forever, and that's a promise, promise.

Can't live a second without You, got to be honest, honest.

I'm not afraid of the Jesus that I take,

This ain't no test..."

Hey, it makes sense to me! :P

Now... the title... oh, that's a funny story... years and years ago, when my biological parents were together... they were riding down the road in an old VW Beetle... and flames... started firing out the back, where the engine was.

And so the old Beetle got pulled over - by the way, this is an extremely busy street this car decided to blow up on - And before anyone knew it, the fire department they pulled up next to... well, it wasn't needed. Fifteen people came around and sprayed down the flaming car with fire extinguishers they had in their own vehicles... yeah... :P XD

CZYA

Gosh...

I haven't blogged in a... while.

Wow.

I've had at least two come up to me asking about my father... well... let's just say my life is quickly becoming like a soap opera...

I'm learning quite a bit about him and his family from a distance, and quite basically, I keep getting amazed.

The latest piece of amazing news?

I might be a pastor's kid. O.o

I think when I first saw the first hint of that, I think my heart must've lost a couple beats. Goodness, this just seemed so... surreal. And it still seems that way.

...

*checks pulse*

I'm still alive... somewhat confused and mindblown, but still alive.

And y'know what?

I was really looking forward to showing everyone at church that first letter today.

But then... I ended up sick. Again! >:(

I'm not very happy about it.

And now... I want to switch to a more light-hearted topic...

CZYA

IT'S FINALLY HERE!!!

Hai, peeps!

It's arrived! THE MASSAGE WE'VE ALLLLLLL BEEN WAITING FOR!!

Click the caps lock sentence up there.

BEFORE THEY DELETE IT AND ALL IS LOST!

*ahem* Anyway...

Well, at least we know why Dunny keeps shoving Peter away... it was just a playfight, mate, he didn't mean it! XD

But I have to say... I get it. I see why Pete wants out... and I'm planning on fully honoring his one request - welcome Tait.

Skittles had the right idea all along. Sorreh, Skittles. *hug*

And I did a little math in history class today (XD XD), and I noticed something.

John James sang with the newsboys from 1985 to 1997. And Pete sang between 1997 and 2009. How long are those intervals?

12 years.

Both sang for twelve years.

So what does this mean?
I dunno.

Tait's gonna sing for twelve more years??

I just hope Pete doesn't pull a John James and NEVER SINGS AGAIN. :'( That'd be sad. It's bad enough John doesn't sing anymore... and his voice was fantastic.

Surely, y'all feel the same.

He's like Phil, now - still a newsboy in our hearts. 

Maybe not in Duncan's, but in ours. :)

Let's remember him for things like this:

*pause for gushing*

Who's with me??

CZYA

O.O

About the aforementioned mind-boggling news...

For one thing, after all the things that have been happening in the past couple of weeks, this was EXTREMELY WELCOME... not to mention a MASSIVE curveball I did not see coming.

For those of you that don't know, for fourteen and a half years, I never knew my biological father. At all.

Yeah... that all changed last night.

This... this is one of the best things on this earth that could have ever have happened to me.

I've been waiting for this for years... I'm a bundle of nerves... a bundle of hyperactive nerves... I'm so happy... :)

You want more info on that? Comment! Because I'm moving on for the moment. :)

Something else.

I got my laptop back last night, too. Dang, Staples works fast!!

Proof that my laptop was serviced. :)

Jess gave me the bracelet you see in the photo - it covers up the phone number they put on there. Surely, you don't want to see it! :P

But the laptop goes back tomorrow... Mom's putting more memory on it. Faster laptop! :D

I now leave you with this:

CZYA

:(

Duncan's brain must be addled.

Either that, or he really, really wants to devastate me something terrible.

His last Facebook update was no laughing matter to me.

It's that sudden blow to the gut that no one really wants.

This pretty much tears it. I'm sorry, Skittles, but I'm gonna really gonna need to seperate myself from the nb for a while.

Or rather, whatever this band is now.

They certainly aren't the nb anymore.

The nb are Aussie. At least half Aussie.

This phenomenon is only 25% Aussie, and the original flavor of that Aussie is just barely heard.

The nb was the brainchild of a man who has done a lot for this broken, broken world.

Now he has departed, and his band will likely dissolve without the glue.

I will not buy any album beyond In The Hands of God.

I was just starting to like the idea of Tait as lead, too.

But this... this is just heartbreaking.

But I think what will be more heartbreaking is if Tait goes down in CCM history as the man who destroyed one of the greatest CCM bands.

So long story short, I'm really hoping Tait isn't the demise of this... phenomenon. It'd be so sorely, sorely missed.

But... I can't help but wonder why Duncan is suddenly shunning Peter for.

I mean, I knew those two were rivals, but I thought they were friendly rivals. And this is not friendly, this is... mean. Rude. Outright disrespectful.

I'm sorry, but that's the way I interpret it.

So, yeah.

I still want updates on Pete, but I doubt that's gonna happen in the near future. We might as well live with it. :(

Oh, well.

A tag:

Using only song names from TWO ARTISTS, cleverly answer these questions. Try not to repeat a song title. It's harder than you think.

Artist: nb and Jars of Clay. >:)

And there you go.

And I'll be sure to tell you guys the mind-boggling news I just got tomorrow. ;)

CZYA

Hmm.

Hai.

Just so y'all know, my laptop is no longer with me. It is at our local Staples store getting scanned for viruses and hopefully growing faster... but the downside is, I won't have it for two days.
So that means I won't be on Gmail, at ALL. I'll be on Facebook, but only on my cellphone - and not for long, because I don't have the money to be on for a long time. :P
As for Blogger, my school hasn't blocked it yet. >:) Nor has it blocked the Virgin Mobile website. >:) So I'll be able to do stuff on here. WHOO!

Anyway. :) With the exception of Owan (Who just NOW did it. :P), all of you answered. :D Even Smitty - she just didn't comment. ;)

And now I'll put my own twist on the game and answer it myself. Because I'm innovative like that.
Some of these, I'm deleting because in this context, it wouldn't make sense. :P

2: Take a stab at my middle name: I've blogged this before, so of course y'all know. It's the Spanish word for "dove." :)

5: Would I ever go skydiving? I probably would... and not think about the height... :P

7: Am I funny? Well, I like to think that, but I'm not always funny... much like Peter. ;)

8. My best physical feature? I agree with most of ya - I like my hair. :D

9: What's my favorite music? newsboys! RR! A bunch of other people!

10: Can I sing? Again, I like to think that... :P

11: What do I want to do more than anything? Ooh, I like netsirK's answer for this one!! It'd be fun... not to mention interesting... every former newsboy would include Kevin Mills... who is dead... >:)

13: Do I have any special talents? If so, what are they? People say quite a few. And I say I don't have very many.

15: My favorite food? Yes, Pizza. XD :D

16: If there was one good nickname for me, what would it be? I'm so glad Bluey stuck so well - I like that nickname. :D

19: Where do you think I will be in 25 years? In 25 years? *uses cellphone calculator* I'll be 39! O.o Hopefully, I'll have done something with myself. :P

So, yeah. :)

I leave you with this (giving proper credit to the original photographer, I didn't delete the text that was already on there):


CZYA

*sigh*

Hai.
The below blog post was NOT out of lack of blogging topic... though I did lack one. :P

I did that out of anger... no, I'm not deleting it. Let it be known that I am mad at the world.

Tempers.
What is it with tempers?
Why were we born with them?
Why must it be so difficult to control them?
And why must it be worse on one day, and better the next?
You know what I think? Tempers are like mosquitos and cockroaches: created with virtually no purpose other than destruction.

Well... one good thing did come out of that post.
I will now end this post by demonstrating.


CZYA

Well...

I have come to a decision, based on Skittles' turn to the dark side.

I think I will remove myself from the current newsboys situation... and resort to loving the good old days.

Y'know... the good old days?

Yeah... those were the days...

Was Peter twenty in this photo?? Or still nineteen? Hmm...

Most likely still nineteen. XD

ANYWAY. :P

I'll answer some questions about my new banner. :) And subsequently answer one possible question for that above photo. :P

In the banner...

Of the four newsboys there, the one on the faaaar left is Mr. Terminator... also known as Sean Taylor.

"I sleep in peace."

And we all know the next one over is Johnny James.

But the one inbetween him and Pete... that's one of the many, many guitarists that came and went during the early years. This lucky dude's name is Jonathan Geange... he was eighteen at the time... and a KIWI!

If I recall correctly, Peter actually told the story of why he left... on the nb boards...

And then... there's the Furler man. Yeah.

As for what's in his hand... might be some sort of champagne glass. I dunno how else to say it. But that glass might explain why he's given his buddy Jibba (that was JG's nickname, btw) the bunny ears.

And as for the first photo... first John, then Sean, then George Perdikis - Peter's old friend and the guitarist that wrote songs but didn't perform them in the end - and then, Peter. Big old grin on his face, too.

Had no clue where life was gonna take him.

Well, look at him now. :)

So back to my decision. Yes, I'll still be following Dunny on Twitter and have him as a friend on Facebook. I didn't say I was gonna stop supporting the guys. Maybe stop supporting them financially, but still...

And when I'm ready to return to being "in the nb loop," I'll ask what I missed. Don't tell me anything until I'm ready, see?

And if you don't like my decision...

>:)

CZYA

I Must Rant...

Hai, all. :)

I know Skittles has talked about it quite a bit, I believe it's my turn now...

I've seen both guitargirl and Kiwi both espress desire for an account on the newsboys message boards. Well, believe me, my friends, be glad you're not a member right now.

More and more "haters" have been joining the boards. I mean, one of the "newbies" is called upsetwitnb. >:( Seriously? This is what they've come down to?

Have you seriously lost faith in the nb that much?

I am ashamed of the nb boards right now. Very ashamed. They keep growing more hostile on the subject of Peter exiting, and quite frankly, it makes me want to tear my hair out.

One even said they had lost any respect they had for Peter! Seriously, must you all sink so low as to spit in the faces of the band that has inspired us?? :(

It's sad. It really is.

I was shocked by the news as much as the next nb fan, but really, it's gotta be let go sometime! You can't go boycotting the nb and proverbially slapping their faces forever.

You say how it's unfair that Peter departed without warning.

You say it's unprofessional that they didn't come out with a warning.

Some of you say your respect for the band is gone.

Some of you come up with a bunch of arguements against a conviction of the Holy Spirit.

First of all, Peter's still a newsboy. He didn't say a thing about leaving his band altogether.

Second, I think we should start treating the nb the way we used to treat it - as a ministry. Because it is. Christian bands don't play primarily for profit like the secular ones, they play primarily to win hearts to Christ. The nb are no different.

Third, in my opinion, if you really supported the nb, your respect would still be solid. I may have lost faith in them at one point, but that was before I knew the whole story. That was before any of us knew the whole story. It has to be let go.

And finally, if this is a case of God convicting Peter to leave, I wouldn't dare argue. Who am I to argue with my Creator? Who am I to question his motives? Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the "unforgivable sin" identified as blaspheming the Holy Spirit??

There. I'm done.

I'm so glad I let that out.

Please... don't get overboard in your theological debates. ;)

CZYA

Haaai

Hai.

I'm... kinda surprised at myself.

I'm taking this much better than I ever thought I would. But I mainly have to attribute that to the clarity given by the "official announcement." :)

Otherwise, I'd be depressed, borderline sick (again) about now.

Yes, I know some of you are not over it yet, and I apologize. :( Poor people. I'd help, but I wouldn't know how to. :(

It could have been worse... with some people, that works. ;) And if it doesn't for you, that's fine.

As for me, I think I need a bit more time before I can really accept Tait as lead... I mean, the man's vocal range is nothing like Pete's... and even though I do like his voice to some extent, it doesn't mean I'd like to hear it lead on newsboys songs.

That's Peter's job.

And that, my friends, was my HONEST OPINION. I'm not ashamed of honesty, and you shouldn't knock me down for it. ;)

I'm honestly over it!

I decided I'd listen to "Presence" for a little bit, then spontaneously went to my radio edit of "Something Beautiful," and managed to finish it. :D

I'm happy with myself, what can I say?

And then I listened to "Isaiah," which was pretty great, actually. :) I KNOW Tait will NEVER top that, because I doubt he's heard of it, honestly.

And it requires a lot of... talking in rhythm, if you will.

And a few other things...

Crapit, some are cut off.

Oh, well. You can always click on the photo. ;)

CZYA

RELIEF!

Sweet, sweet relief! Never felt so good!!

Peter's not "really" leaving the nb... just the concert tours.

Which means unless we really want to adjust to a new sound, no more going to concerts. :P :(

That means... no more drum duels... :'(

Oh, well.
Peter is still working on the studio albums! We should be happy with that. I don't want another booming argument like what happened with the HWAG DVD... PLEASE, people!

Now I don't feel so guilty posting this...



Be glad! He'll still be doing philanthropic work! I think...

But I feel better about it... even before I found the post on Duncan's blog. ;)

And my mind is beginning to wander... I'm having crazy ideas that shouldn't be "fed..."

CZYA

Six Months

Six months. If the nb in this state survive six months, I'll be amazed.

I have the nagging feeling that this lineup just won't work. It really doesn't look like this will work, at all.

If Peter is there to "supervise," if you will, it still won't make a difference. Peter defines the newsboys; he leaves, he takes the "newsboys" title with him. Simple as that.

I'm drowning myself in different music at this point. Anything to keep me from tears. Anything.

It doesn't make sense to do something this outlandish, but I guess it had to be done.

THE NEWSBOYS ARE DEAD TO ME

Why does this feel like my fault??



CZYA

Um...

Hai.

Today, I have been hit with news I never thought I'd see. It seems very false, but there is a feeling deep within me that is very real. That feeling is what I'm trying to ignore.

I'd much rather hear the newsboys breaking up than to hear this.

Who came up with the newsboys in the first place? Peter.

Who managed to keep his group together when they first went to America? Peter (assumedly)

Who kept trying and trying to write songs, even when nobody listened to them and they weren't any good until 1992? Peter, mostly!

Who was the one moved to write Shine? Peter!

Who had to move out to the front to be a lead singer? Peter!

Who had to suffer through things such as material comforts (aka, the feeling of being on top of the world when you're really not), marriage problems, bandmate's problems (more specifically, Jody's daughter), the dicso ball incident? Peter.

Who, through such suffering and more, was moved to mature the newsboys' sound? Peter.

I think you know where I'm going with this.

Who has a rumor going around that he's leaving the band?

Peter.

I am passionately believing this is untrue. I sent Duncan three tweets, one of which asked the pertinent question, and two of which showed him Peter's birthday post.

(Today is Peter's half-birthday, by the way)

Unless Duncan says something (I have a feeling he and the others are in some sort of church situation at the moment) or there is an announcement, I have to assume its untrue. There's nothing backing up the truth in this rumor, so I have to run with that.

I love Peter, I'm no longer ashamed to say that.

I love him and the rest of the newsboys. Just the way they are. But if God wants them to do something outlandish such as this, then who are we to question it?

To be quite honest, I tried to keep myself busy with things that were happening at church. But when there was a lull, I grew more and more depressed, borderline tears.

Then I moved into the room of the service. For ten minutes, I listened to two songs - "Whispers in the Dark" and "I'll Be With You." And taking their meanings to heart and letting the message sink in all over again: God is with us, no matter what.

And then I had Hannah (thank you so much)... I have to give her credit, she helped me through the morning, too. I'm thankful for her right about now.

So, yeah. Hoping this is untrue.

CZYA

Bleh

Hai.

Life is... out to get me now.
Well... my sister has a high fever... not good... Usually, she gets biennial (at the very least) 101 F fevers, but this one spiked to about 104 F this morning... last time it spiked around this high, she had a seizure. But that was years ago.

So I dunno what's gonna happen to her.

And Hannah and I had a bit of a misunderstanding last night... I was so sure we were done. But I'm glad it's all good. :)

But enough sadness for one blog post... I need something to cheer meh up...



I'm sure y'all can guess what this references. ;)












:D

CZYA

Friday the 13

"What?"

Ah, but it's true.
Especially today -- I feel really Friday 13ish. Like I'm sick to my stomach with nervousness; much like Peter after John left.

Things are happening today. Things I don't like. Therefore, I am nerrrvous. Extremely nervous. I hate shy. Shyness is of no use to me! It is of no use to anyone.

So anyway.
I'd rather not go through today, but I have to. The bad terribly outnumbers the good here; I mean, the only good thing out of today is a Skillet CD! Seriously!

I never thought I'd say this... but...

I HATE FRIDAYS.

CZYA
