Fated Strife

Current Mood: Disappointed & Giddy & Sick & Sleepy

Well its that time of year again. I hope everyone has had a blessed and wonderful Christmas.

Angel and I were able to talk both today and yesterday which was a gift of sorts. He was going to try to call today but never did but he said if he didn’t he would tomorrow or something. Hopefully this will work out for once.

I received the following this Christmas:

1. The gift of grace and love from The Lord
2. Silent Hill: Origins for the PSP from my stepdad
3. Silent Hill: Origins game guide from parents
4. Triforce themed Nintendo DS Lite with Zeruda no Densetsu Mugen no Sunadokei from my grandparents
5. Meade 70AZ-AR refracting telescope from parents
6. Final Fantasy XI - Wings of the Goddess expansion pack for the 360 from parents
7. The Sinusoidal Spaghetti by J.-M. Perelmuter from parents
8. TravelitePack by Joytech from parents

Gifts yet to come:

Cory got me this awesome figure to add to my Final Fantasy Creatures Collection. It’s actually one of the more expensive Master Creatures collection, he got me Bahamut.

Angel is supposed to be getting me something or already has it. No clue what though, excited about that and the fact he might throw those letters he wrote me a few months ago when he ships it.

Overall a good thing of gifts, I was really expecting the Telescope as my grandparents were going to buy it for me but I decided on the DS, so my parents got it instead for me. Really wish Angel was here for Christmas.

Most of all though, this isn’t about the gifts we give to each other, how much we spend. Its about celebrating the birth of our Savior, His life, the teachings He brought us, the death He suffered for all of our sins, His love for us, and the resurrection. This gift of grace and love is the most important for someone to want and to accept. It’s never too soon to accept that gift and accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior.

Well today wasn’t very exciting. I awoke around 8am (suprised cause it was a weekend and I never get up that early, was on a schedule like that during the week for some time but then got off to sleeping in later).

Anyway, went with mother and Adam to Barnes and Noble in Johnson City. I had been hunting a book for Adam called Love You Forever. It’s actually a pretty sad book but it’s still good none the less.

I also picked up The Giver which happens to be one of my favorites. We had to read it for something like 7th grade English and of course since it was school work I couldn’t enjoy it but I did.
Also found Maximum PC Guide to Building a Dream PC which though I don’t technically need as I can build a computer with eyes closed, hands tied or even cut off… etc. It is a nice book though since past few years I’ve not been to much into whats new and such.

Came home cleaned some (been on a cleaning frenzy past few days) Angel got on for a few but he was tired and since I’ve been sick and wasn’t feeling well we just decided to call it a day and such. oh well

I’ve been trying to get into the new FFXI expansion and have been enjoying it for the most part. Eh it’s late, hadn’t planned to be up this long so I’ll cut this short for now.

Well I found this via Major Nelson’s blog. Looks like something I’ll have to pick up.

Oh yeah, I ordered some books from amazon today, I have added thm to my BookQueue.

They would be the 3 that are “Not Read” yet. House of God, Intern Blues, Mount Misery.

I finished reading First, Do No Harm by Lisa Belkin yesterday. The book is about the choices (moral and ethical) doctor and patients have to make in a hospital in Texas.
Ms. Belkin brings you into the story, describing details about the person, their history and their opinions. She also explains a great deal of the medical jargon used into laymen terms for those who may not understand some of the medicines, diagnosis, etc that are used in the medical profession.

This book took me a few days to read, it took me in and I rarely went anywhere without it if I thought I might have a chance to read it. I reccomend it for anyone who is interested in the medical field or for those who would like to see how many difficult choices are made.
