Remember our troops, who protect our liberty and way of life, and who are away from their families during this Christmas holiday, in your thoughts and prayers.
Merry Christmas to all who read this little blog
I have thought about posting on many different subjects the past week, but never wrote them down.
Sorry.
I just had to post again after those past two [depressing] logs.
Merry Christmas ^_^

Stardust
Have you ever heard that song? If you haven't, you must as soon as possible (if you're the romantic type---even if you have slightly romantic tendencies). Nat King Cole sings it, which makes it even more enjoyable. Funny thing about Nat King Cole is that every time I hear him singing, it makes me think of a certain friend; I have no idea why, because I've never heard this friend sing, and he looks like Zeppo Marx (no kidding---he looks pretty similar to him) so I'm pretty puzzled at why my mind brings his face to my eyes...

A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep
In dreams you lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep
Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling through
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
the dream that you wish will come true
Except...can we trust our hearts? I mean, is a dream really a wish your heart makes?
Because if so, my heart is extremely confusing judging by the dream I had this past night...or maybe it's just because I supress certain inclinations of my heart because I think they're hopeless or stupid. Maybe I'm just a confused person. A soul wandering through a mass of ideas, looking for what's right.
Mmm...sometimes I wish I could write poetry. I have written two poems and think they're horrible. But I am my worst critic (anybody who knows me could tell you that...). You know what, just because I love you guys, I'll post the one I like best (though it isn't quite finished).
(Deja-vu again!...it's been about every other day lately...weirdness...just had to tell you that)
I want to go to a place like this:
A place where a sort of heaven exists
Where your turmoil is exchanged for peace
and your stress is immediately relieved and erased
Some place where your heart is never troubled
Nor ever played with by others
A place somewhere outside this bubble
In which I feel uncontent and smothered
This place, I fear, can never be reached
for it lies at the highest peak
of my mind, where I can but dream 'fore I find
that this place I am at this moment
is the reality I must accept
But there is One who made atonement
for all the turmoil I have caused
and all the heartache I've inflict'd
and that which I have inside kept
(unfinished)

Template errors
They give you a little place to put a paragraph on the sidebar. And an "ending". Buuut...does it work? Hah no.
The truth of the matter: there is a template error, obviously, and I'm not quite equipped to fix it ^_^

Predestination
No, not "predestination" as in Calvinism versus Arminiasm (concerning that, I've decided---until I've read Calvin's works---that I'm on Wesley's side) but of the predestination of love.
Do you (oh you two people who view my blog) think that there are such things as "soul mates"? People predestined to fall in love and be together?
As for me, I tend to believe that. I believe God created a soul mate for me, and me as a soul mate for that person. The tricky thing is to find that person...of course, we don't have to. If it's meant to be, God will (by some means...He is God) bring that person into our lives. I guess it's up to us to recognize it. Hmm...I'll have to think a bit more on this subject.
Back to my original post (which I actually wrote this previous Sunday)...
Sometimes I ache greatly for my earthly prince to come...
But of course, he won't come for a while. And I must keep reminding myself that my real Prince is there, waiting for me...
I suppose I am a hopeless romantic. It's really depressing when a guy acts really interested in you and then loses that interest as you begin to realize it to yourself.
I've decided not to date so I shouldn't even be complaining, but it still feels depressing.
A lot of people are surprised and/or inquisitive when I tell them that I've decided not to date, so I'll explain my reasons here (mind you, I think of all these as equally important)---
1) I believe dating causes unnecessary pain and intimacy. Unless you're dating someone with the intention of marrying him or her (though I believe courtship is a lot better than dating if you have such intentions), you're just using your boyfriend or girlfriend to temporarily satisfy a desire for intimacy and a relationship. And when you break up, it's like tearing apart two pieces of paper that are glued together---both of you take a piece of each other's hearts that you so willingly shared.
2) I believe in courtship instead of dating, because it allows you to get to know a person in different situations (hanging out with the family, friends, etc.) and you are never tempted to do the wrong things as if you spent hours alone together. In courtship, the man who is interested in marrying a woman asks her father if he may; if the father concedes (after spending time with the man himself to see if he's up to the standards), then the man may start the process of courting (which consists of spending time to get to know each other on a platonic basis in family or friend settings---instead of being alone together most of the time).
I've obviously never tried this before, so I still have to hear someone explain the whole process to me to refresh my memory, but in essence it should working better than dating.
I also believe in a long courtship but short engagement. I mean, look what happened to Dr. Jekyll! Lol, just kidding. But seriously, I think that's how it should be.
