one last note of the day

i forgot to add this funny thing that happened today.
so "quadrant four" was discussing nicknames in the beginning of class and so far we came up with:
kaitlyn=mama bear (no idea where that cam from; cheyanne's idea)
cheyanne=shyshy (yeah, that one is a little strange, but it fits in a way)
so, jeff finally came up with two potential nicknames for me, which i'm completely against both.

jeff: i got it!
chloe: okay, what?
jeff: chloroform!
chloe: um, no, definitely not.
jeff: yes, chloroform.
chloe: no, i'm not a chemical.

jeff: okay, i know.
chloe: now what?
jeff: cleabus!
chloe: what?
jeff: cleabus!
chloe: no, i'm not responding to that.
(i walk away)
jeff: cleabus!
chloe: i'm not RESPONDING to that.

oh, jeff's nickname is going to be horrible. it's going to be worst than chloroform and cleabus combined. just wait, jeff, just wait.

any ideas let me know:)

love never fails

sometimes i feel as if the world is getting to me.
you know, the "celebrity obsessed-more is always better-money loving" world, where the person with the coolest clothes is better than the person with the good heart. where the girl with the most boyfriends is more popular than the girl with the most love within her. why do i let this "world" get to me?

why?

i should be worried about my relationship with God, or how to better the world, not if i'm the prettiest girl in my class or the girl all the guys want to be around.
i think i'm just realizing this now because i watched Pay It Forward in english class today. yes, i've already seen this movie (probably more than twice), but i never watched with this new found love in my heart. i guess now that i'm closer with God, i'm noticing the way i treat people and my judgements of them. i'm realizing with a little hope and love you can make a big impact and somtimes the simple gestures are the biggest deals. the help is within us all. all we have to do is reach a little within us.

i'm not judging anymore, i'm not making opinions of people at first glance. because when i do make those judgements and opinoins, i'm no better than the "world," maybe even worse because i'm a christian. i can't keep doing that. i want to change, no, i need to change. i'm ready to let go of superficial worries, and grab on to...well, love. because God truly equals love.

i apparently love myself

got this idea from jacky,
challenge: record the quirky or sweet things you love about yourself

i love:
-my weird sense of humor
-how i know strange facts and not afraid to share them
-my great love of cute shoes
-that at 16 years old i truly found God
-how i'm slightly obsessed with television
-that i know who practically every actor or actress is
-that i barely use my cell phone
-my tiny feet, even though they don't go with my height
-how much i generally care about people
-that i love the Earth
-how i get excited about little things, like new episodes of chuck
-how close i am with my 20 year old sister, jacky


by the way, happy early 21st birthday james!
