  • Request

    I would just like you all to keep my dad in your thoughts and prayers. He fell while we were playing dodgeball last night, and he hit his head on the floor and knocked himself out. The cat scan came back fine, so they sent him home with us on the condition that we wake him up every two hours... But my family and I would really appreciate your prayer in this.

    Thanks in advance.

  • So... (Deathly Hallows- no spoilers)

    I don't believe I have ever been so affected by a book in my entire life.

    Here it is, nearly an hour after finishing it, and I can't shake that terrible urge to (continue to) bawl my eyes out.

    I will say this: While I loved the book, I don't ever think I'll get over who died and who didn't. Darn you, JK, for breaking my heart. However, it was excellently written, and I understand that even the good die. I have always known that. I just prayed you wouldn't succumb to it's angsty temptations. *sigh* Aah, JK... I don't think I can ever forgive you. Move on, yes. Praise you, certainly. But forgive you? I think not.

    Kudos to you, for keeping me guessing at every turn of the pages.

    If you haven't read Deathly Hallows yet, GO DO IT NOW. Or I'll Imperius you and make you do it anyway. T_T

  • Random Misc. Updates

    So, Mo's doing quite a bit better- he can walk now, albeit with a little difficulty... Hopefully these steroids will help him recover. Please continue to pray for him; we really appreciate it!

    In other news, I played dodgeball at my church last night with a bunch of... church people. XD It was really fun, even if I came back sore (not because I got hit, but because I used muscles I hadn't moved in a while XD), and then was wired for the rest of the night because my dad treated me to a 440z Mountain Dew slushy. Mmmmm, slushy... It was awesome. :D So if you're in the Dundee area and are bored in two weeks, come join us Friday at 7 for some ball-slinging fun. XD

    Anyway, I was also wired because my buddy Tori and I went to our local Kroger and bought a copy of HP and the Deathly Hallows. Yay for Court x Tori time. XD It was hilarious. Believe it or not, we were the first ones there! I guess no one thinks to go somewhere that's NOT a bookstore. ;)

    I'm a little irritated, though. Granted, it wasn't really out of the way or a great hardship on my part, but I was the one that bought the family copy last night at midnight. I left it on the table last night when I went to bed, and woke up this morning to find my sister already reading it. Now, I think that's a little unfair. She's read every single one of them before me (with the exception of the first two, but that was only because we didn't get into them until the third was on its way to the presses). It's really not a big deal, because I know she'll be done with it fairly quickly, but come on-- I'm the one who bought it. I think I should have first dibs. >.< Growl.

    Oh well. *sigh* At least this gives me a chance to finish Scar Night (Alan Campbell) and then reread the 6th. I'm sorry, but HBP just didn't hold my attention like the others, so I forgot a lot of stuff, like "R.A.B" and the horcruxes and Professor Slughorn. W00t for the "DON'T CALL ME COWARD!" line. Loved that, for whatever reason. XD

    PS: The 5th movie was decent. Still not a big fan, too many flaws to enjoy if you're a book purist, but stand alone it was alright. Should've had more of Sirius (especially the end-- ya'll know what I'm talking about), and where was emo Harry? T_T Pshaw. Oh well. Soundtracks still rock. Remind me to put those on my wishlist...

    PSS: Oh yeah. And my WoT books came in today, so I think I'm set for a while. :D It only took 11 days. -_- Oh well. At least I have them. Yay for Half.Com!!

    My Poor Dog...

    So, unknown to me, while I was at Cedar Point yesterday with my friends, my dog started having problems with his back leg. It has since spread to his whole back end, and poor Mo is, well, practically paralyzed from the waist (do dogs technically have waists?) down. My parents just took him to the vet, but I stayed here (at home) to watch my little brother and his friend. *sigh* So if you guys would, please pray for my dog.

    We've only had him for a short while- we adopted him from a family who loved him very much and (unfortunately) had to give him up. He's such a sweetheart (even if he is hard-headed), and I love him to death. He's older, so it was only a matter of time before he started having problems, but this is really scaring me. I don't want to have to put him down, and I'm afraid it may come to that...

    Pray that it doesn't. T_T

    -----------------------

    UPDATE: So, apparently, it does come down to that. He's a dachshund, and slipped a disc in his back, or something like that. They have him on steroids, but if the steroids don't work, then... bye bye Mo. We just can't afford to pay thousands of dollars for the surgery he would need. So please pray for my doggie... T_T
