Still Wandering the World
"Be comforted small one, in your smallness. [God] lays no merit on you. Receive and be glad!"
~C.S. Lewis, Perelandra
Hi. I'm Demazed. I'm twenty years old and I'm a girl. I am the Computer Lab Supervisor at a small Christian boarding high school in Michigan, which means I get paid $100 a month to sit in the lab for an hour every week day and make sure no one makes out. I'm also occasionally called 'Windy' (in reference to what some people call my "creepy" ability to leave and/or come without being heard or noticed without really trying) and 'Chaos Factor' (in reference to the chaos field around me that manifests itself with things going sometimes ridiculously wrong when directly or sometimes indirectly involving me). Yankee-Shoes' is a buddy who lives about twenty feet away from me, on the other side of the pine trees. I live on the top floor of an old farmhouse owned by the boarding school where my parents and I, where YS used to work, and where my sister is a student. CaliforniaGirl is YS' and my friend who also used to work here. Also, here is a place on the guide for Christians.
Well, here are some things that have been going on lately . . .
- No longer in California. Have been home for months. Merely haven't been around H2 for a while.
- The "Geeks in Space" project is coming along slowly. Things like living have indeed been getting in the way. The writing part has been happening; the drawing part not so much. I'm also working in my head on another project to be called "Miracle Max," most likely, which is based on an idea that emerged in a dream I had. Funny. I was thinking of learning to draw manga for it because that's the best medium I can think of for presenting it, but I'm really not too friendly with that stuff.
- Yeah, the driving thing . . . it still hasn't happened. But the time feels like it might be getting ripe. I'm thinking March . . .
- I have mostly come through the exit from anime; I tried watching some the other night and it had scarcely any appeal, not enough to keep me watching the entire episode of Big-O.
- I've been thinking about starting an online jewelry business. I'm doing beading right now and have been mulling over seeing about jeweler apprenticeship. {shrug} Maybe.
- I have been having a lot of spiritual struggles lately. Things will be all calm and then something will happen and the problem will just explode again and take up my brain space. The mediums through which the catalysts has been coming make me wonder if maybe I'm actually supposed to be dealing with this to get it out of the way, though. I'm not sure. It's all so complex, sorting through personal motivations and agendas and voices of influence that aren't God, lies from the devil, to see what He actually does want for me. It's not fun most of the time, but I see enough victory and the Summer prepared me in ways that are getting me in ways that I've never come through these attacks in before. So it's actually pretty cool, even if sometimes it's hard going. =]
- The recent books have been/are: The Universe and Doctor Einstein by Lincoln Barnett, The Autobiography of an Unknown South African by Naboth Mokgatle (very interesting, I highly recommend it so far), Our Marvelous Native Tongue: The Life and Times of the English Language by Robert Claiborne, and Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television by Jerry Mander. {sigh}
-(1*9)+(9*6)-0-3=42
I'll see you!
