Iwas sifting through the lists of songs i have and trying to pick out good lyrics. this time i fell for 5! (five) And Fonkeh is how the english say funky :D Isnt that funny :D
5 whatchu waitin' 4! if you wanna 3 2 1!
Oh Five, we know you can count :D They always seem
to want to solidify that fact by putting it in every song :D
Do you wanna get freak-eh, when the 5 of us make 1...
Oh the 90s, how we love you too :D
I have no D&Ms right now, so ill just give you a nice happy blog, becuase i feel happy. Its the holidays and speech day was yesterday- It wasn't as painful as before and i wasactually interested in who was getting awards because all those faces look familiar. So i didint day dream as much as i wanted to. But thats ok :D
The Band and the Choir did their stuff, which they rocked at, it seems. Meegs, did you have a solo? Becyas ei looked at you when only one saxahpone was playing, and i was wondering if it was the sexyphone. Well, if it wasnt yiou, then im sure you would be totally pwned who ever was solo-ing :D
AFterwards, mum took me to lunch and to Dymocks where we bought this UBEr FAntasTIC book about technical drawing fantasy figures. SO COOL!!! and so now i have done a sort of proper character sheet of one of my favourite characters. next we will try perpectives and archetutre.
Speaking of which i have to say that Sky-land rules ont he ABC. The art is TRES cool, and last episode they traveled to old France. The Animation is so cool and their movement is so fluid and life like. And the scary bald lady reminds me of Asuka.
Everybody get up Singin' *1,2,3,4* 5 will make you get down now!
Ooh i love that song.
Heh yesterday was prolly the last time i was supervised at "work" where im baby sitting Natey-boy. He's a lil' Cutie i have to say. And we totally played chasies up and down the hall and he takes much pleasure in throwing himself onto the couch or the carpet. And i ttoally OWNed him in a race to his room. HuzzHAH! i Totally PWNED you you little two year old. I RULE!
but i was SOOo pooposed i had to have a nap. but i couldnt because there was still a whole half hour till bath time. so i had to keep being happy happy happy monkey.
but man, after bath time we get to watch the wiggles, and the episode about waking up Jeff.
Wake UP JEff! Everybodies Waiting. Wake up JEff! the show's about to start! or something.
I get so engrossed with the adventures of those four wiggly men that i don't notice when Nate runs off, andi don't realise that my job is to stop him bugging his mum, and watch the big red car instead.

I come empty handed, ready to see, your life in me changing who ive been and who i need to be
STAR FIELD!!
Thats who im listening to right now, ands its 11:50 PM.
WHY?!
Because i was alone ALL of today, Innuendo (yikache/Bethos) went to a freinds house to sleep over, Renee (kache) is working somewhere far adn distant, and Mum and Dad went to Uncle Betty....Aunty Betty and ...UNCLE laurence's house for a dinner Part-ay. Those crazy Elders and their wives i don't knowWAHT they get up to sometimes.
But mum bought me back some maccas Nuggets and i ate them and it was 11:15 om, and so i thought it rather unwise to go to bed just then as i might vomit it all back up or something.. ._.
But you didnt really need to know that.
Yea, so ive got loud music in my MP3 and its keeping me awake...
EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL- even when teh tears are fallin'
i don't need a miracle to believe
Even in the crashing Down,
i can hear redemption calling
AND EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL TO MEEEEEE!!!!
Woohoo. Oh maccas nuggets i love you ;D They are my crew anway. Chicken nuggets. And i am El Capitan Tabby, Capitan of Chicken and steroid beards ;D Oh dear im on a high.
Anyway. I must say, that i really like being a n00b.
SAY WAH?!
yea i know. but iwas contemplating my first big post that was about Anti-n00bness. i came to the conclusion that being a noob is better than trying to be a hard core anti-noob when you're not.
And i totally believe this is true :D For my own well being and for other's pride.
Its humbling. very much so and i think it does greatness for my spirit, be it a step backward for my pride.
Right now, im trying to get a part time Job, sharing it with Davia (cousin) to baby sit Mr Ed's (Uncle from Church) 2 year old toddler Natey-boy for a few hours during the summer holidays.
I am a total BABY N00B if ever there was one. Everyone else in my family does crech or HAD A BABY. but not me. They scare me. I always avoided cech because i was afraid i was gong to explode one by just touching it. I wouldnt put it past me either.
But here i am, trying to learn the ballerina dance moves to one of the wiggles song, and yelling "Yipee!" every time you throw the teddy bear int he air during the scene wher eits raining outside, and the wiggles can't play, so they stay inside to play with their local teddies :D
I love the Wiggles. We will miss you Greg. We are: the generation fo Greg the yellow Wiggle. Forever in our big red hearts.
Anyway; i had to admit to myself that iw as a noob. I had to tell Davia that i was a noob, and it sort of helped me. That way, i had liscence to look stupid :D Because it was my first time, and everyone knew. It was so mcyh easier to make mistakes, to allow myself to venture further into new territory because i wasn't watching my feet, or my ego so much.
If i was trying to be anti-noob i would have felt to much more uncomfortable and horrible.
This was much better :D Happy!
it was so much more fulfilling, i felt, and now i know how to put on pajama tops on little boys.
HUZZAH!
I stilll have much to learn, and will be going to help with crech this sunday. Where there will be a whole swarm of explosive babies to contend with. D:) Crudular crud cakes
Well, there is a first time for everything i suppose.

Hold me now, im six feet from the edge and im thinking, maybe six feet ain't so far down...
OH :( isnt' that so sad? Its a really nice song but man its depressing.
let me just take this line to say: I AM EMO FREE
Its Creed- if you wouldl ike to know.
It is christmas.
yesterday me and mum went to para to get my hair done for the formal, and its christmas shopping season, gaudy decorations everywhere and stupid jazzed up versions of christmas carols playing the backgroundw hile the chinese lady pharmasist in a red christmas t-shirt chargeses us $115 worhth of prescription drugs for my family and then there are stupid singing christmas simpson figurines for sale and red and green and tinsel everywhere and santa santa santa.
Do i sound angry and angsty? Haha im not really. it jus made me think about my 16th christmas.
Does the lady ion the CD singing the verses of Hark the Herald think about the words she sings while adding funky timing and trilly notes? "Glory to the new born king- God and sinners reconciled- Christ is born"
On the bus home- Jemima and friends were singing songs, and started off with christmas carols. Did they flinch when they said "Christ" "God" or "sin" and stuff? because i know a lot of them were...well, anti christian.
I dont really nkow where im going with this. Christmas sint bad, neither is singing christmas carols everywhere. Nore is buying presents, nor is buying drugs.
Everywhting is just so shallow. Its never really occured to me before, but those words really jumoed out at me when people said them: Christ, God, Sin.
Am i just getting really touchy for now reason? I never really held christmas in such high reguard anyway. Everyone makes such a big deal out of it, and right now christmas only means trying not to panic over lots of money spending because we don't have as much as we used to.
Christmas is never as important as Easter anyway.
Maybe ive just been wondering how people not so much Slander God's name in any context, but just how they say it without thinking about it or what the words mean- just a part of culture and tradition and superstition. Shouldn't it mean something so much more?
Yea- christmas has been giong on since forever. The decorations aren't even christian anyway so we can do without the gaudiness. So much of it has strayed from the true intentions that people wrote christmas carols.
am i angry at something? not really. Not at the world or people. just pondering.
I also ponder about jokes. so many of us are afraid of saying a joke or a comment that revolves around christianity because it might offend someone or they might be struck down. by me.
To be honest i DO turn into scary christian mode when someone at school mentions God or jesus or something. Its becuase i feel uncomfortable. To be honest, i do- its hard to laugh at a joke which would be trully funny and witty when you're uncomfortable.
My family cracks christian jokes all the time at home and i feel comfortable there because everyone knows your joking, they know how to react and blah blah blah.
Heh- it reminds me of when my dad told us when he was in a lecture in his theology college becayse he's studying to become a minister. before every lecture they pray, so all teh students closed their eyes, waiting for the lecturer to begin... and he begins:
"G'day Mate!"
And all the theological students are like ._. and half open their eyes and mumble to each other like: "Man...he's pretty familiar with God if he greets him like that at the beginning of every prayer..."
But it was only becasue while they had thies eyes closed a latecomer had come in and the lecturer was talking to him.
Well, i thought it was funny.
that wasnt really a joke.
There are better ones out there. I promise you.
But why am i uncomfortable? It has everything to do with i suppose peoples expectations of Christians and i just feel so much attention or pressure onme to do the right thing. Moments like these when christianity topics come up are crucial for whitnessing and evagelising we are told, and i guess we just freeze, trying to make the most of it, and end up thowing the oppertunity out teh window because of this attitude that just glazes over our eyes. its a poo.
Please, don't be afraid to be free and say something when you think it. i pun or a joke or SOMETHING- even if its just saying that Lord ofthe Rings reads like a bible. I don't get offended. Its so important that we are totally honest about how we think nd feel about something, and not hold it in for the reason that you don't want to offend someone or make them turn scary and serious on you.
Wait, not offending someone is good- but not in situations like this. I WONT get OFFENDED. I never Do- i think thinking that i will would just make my situation worse, because i can see when people think that im giong to turn into scary mode...and then it sort of ends up turning onthe scary mode because i feel uncomfortable because you no longer feel comfortable with me because what imight say or that i might be offended because of expectations of christians and things. D8< <- hehehehhe
Its a vicious cycle. Its better to express a conflicting point of view if you have one than just letit fester becyase of Tabby's scary serious face...i donth ave an emote for that just yet. (8

I've got somebody else's thoughts in my head and i want some of my OWN
Oooh LIfehouse . A little ansty sounding but its a good some eh ;D
Im surprised i can keep these long blogs up. It takes so much energy and so much of my saturday to write them.
I liked Life and Resilience this week. It was a bit like peer support again, except more D&M- deep and meaningful.
One of the things we talked about was acceptance nad predjudice in our society. and then came that word that makes every Christian and Catholic freeze- because they know they're up against a world of misconception and reality and other things of poo: homosexuality.
TABBY AND THE WORLD OF HOMOSEXUALITY
Oh my goodness.
Its a scary topic. WHY? becauase when people talk about it, and then know you are a christian, its time to switch into scary mode for both parties. ._.
THE WORLD: The world has had a dark history concerning Homosexualtiy, and still struggles with acceptance today, but it is much more open than it was in the 1950s when people would bash you up for being Gay. this is a Good thing. It is a very Good thing because we hate violence nad predjudice and Gay-bashing is a sub-human act of pure ignorance and hate. Today, the world embraces those of different sexualities. Horray for Free love! Everywhere! Everyone! FREEEE!!! Though understandably, people still get really awekward when it comes to talkinga botu homosexuality even ifyour not christian or catholic, but it is a politically correct thing to ebrace all people. This is GOOD <- Happy face for humanity and its progress through history. But this does not fare well for the children of God.
THE CHILDREN OF GOD: Our Lord has been so incredibly explicit about this topic that there is absolutly not question about what God thinks of homosexuality. Romans has a big hefty chunk in chpater 1 that says that Homosexuality is a perversion- a degradation of human bodies, and the result of a depraved mind. This depraved mind was given to humans because they didnt want to fear God- they totally went haywire to the way God had wired them, and rejeced him. So God "gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodoes with one another. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator- who is forever praised.
Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for the unnatural ones. in the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with list for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and recieved in them selves the due penalty for their perversion." 1:24-27
Thats uber freaky man. Especailly how you keep reading what Paul says and he sounds so angry and GRAR at humanity and what they have done to God.
You really can't get more explicit in that, not that its not scary and very polittically incorrect. But that doesnt mean its not right- scarily so. All of us Christians often dodge and tip toe around teh subject, becuase today, you dont get bashed if your homosexual, but if you say something bad about it. Thats Good- again, horray for the progress of humaity and its acceptance. But that still doesnt make it good in God's eyes.
This is black and white. God against the World, the World against God- we are confused because we cant help being citizens of both. we have both points of view. We're torn between the progress of humanity and its kindness, to the root of the problem itself. Is kindness enough to mask the sin from God to make its acceptable?
Ok thats jsut a weird question. here is our situation.
THE CHILD OF GOD'S SITUATION: Homosexualtiy is very much part of our society and we have very strong views about it: Homosexuality is love- love shuld be free, we are all for homosexuality because there is nothing wrong with it- it is just love between too people and can be and pure or dirty as every other relationship between a man and a woman.
If i wasn't a christian, this would be totally cool- there is nothing wrong with loving another human just like a man loves a woman- nothing wrong in the way homosexual show their love- its exactly the same, it just wasnt a social norm in the world's early years, even though homosexuality was everywhere in the world's ancient cities. NOTHING WRONG- ALL FREE, just the ignorance and close minded ness of the forefathers of human history. but we can change that- MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE FOR YOU AND ME! YAY!
But i am a christian. So it is wrong, and has been ever since it has been pracitces. the wrong-ness doesnt come from close mindedness of history people, but from the sin that is as fresh as ever sin that is commited in every one's everyday life. it is SIN- and SIN is the worst, base, curruptedness in the eyes of God. ALL sin is, and Homosexuality is one of them. Therefore, homosexuality cannot be made better with acceptance.
THE CHRISTIAN CONT: Don't get me wrong. The other side of the scale is to believe that homosexuality is the Worst of all sins. I don't know about Catholic, because i am uneducated, but us Prespos dont have a hierachy of sin. All sin is the same. All sin is just as detremental as eachother. A lie is as good as a murder. A murderous though is just as good as the act of murdering. One sin is enough for death. There is no such thing as a SMALL sin. No such thing as a BIG sin- no such thing as a MORE DAMNING sin because ALL sin is Damning.
SIN: Sin is the total opposite to God. God is the epitome of EVERYTHING good- because all Good things, and only good things came from God. "I said to the Lord, withiout you, i have no good thing." <- my one and only memorised verse.
God is also Just. God is the Epitome of just- because justice is Good. It is fair.
God also Hates sin. you can see why, because sin is so contary to God's nature. Sin is the epitome of all things Bad- it is rejection of God. Why is this bad, becuase in the world and all of creation, God is othe only thing that ever matters. Rejection of Him is rejection of Justice and all things Good= all things bad.
God cannot abide with anything Bad; "You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil; with you the wicked cannot dwell...you hate all who do wrong. You destroy those who tell lies; bloodthirsty and decietful men the Lord abhors." Pslam 5:4-6 Ever heard of God hating something? He only hates Sin. Sin is hereditory in ALl humans. it destroys God's creation.
Thats why God can't just overlook the world of sin- that would be UNJUST. Evil MUST be punished and banished. But he still LOVES humans, becuase God is all things Good. he didnt want to banish everyones, but he had to do something- otherwise he wuld not be the God of justice.
So he sent Jesus- and focussed all the punishment and wrath of sin of the entire universe, past presenta nd future onto this ONE MAN. so only one person would have to take the just punishment of sin.
But this is a tangent.
THE POINT OF ALL OF THAT: We consider the act of homosexuality a sin. All people sin everyday, so being homosexual doesnt mean that that person is any less of a person, is any less loved by God than a hetrosexual. Every human is the same, and no one has the right to condemn a homosexual for their way of life.
WHY WOULD LOVING ANOTHER PERSON BE A SIN?: I don't know- to be totally honest, i have no idea. But that doesn't stop it being black or white.
Therefore i cannot and will not condemn Homosexuality, it is not my place, but i also cannot/will not condone it to be politically correct.
Im surprised i can keep these long blogs up. It takes so much energy and so much of my saturday to write them.

God is also Just. God is the Epitome of just- because justice is Good. It is fair.
God also Hates sin. you can see why, because sin is so contary to God's nature. Sin is the epitome of all things Bad- it is rejection of God. Why is this bad, becuase in the world and all of creation, God is othe only thing that ever matters. Rejection of Him is rejection of Justice and all things Good= all things bad.
God cannot abide with anything Bad; "You are not a God who takes pleasure in evil; with you the wicked cannot dwell...you hate all who do wrong. You destroy those who tell lies; bloodthirsty and decietful men the Lord abhors." Pslam 5:4-6 Ever heard of God hating something? He only hates Sin. Sin is hereditory in ALl humans. it destroys God's creation.
Thats why God can't just overlook the world of sin- that would be UNJUST. Evil MUST be punished and banished. But he still LOVES humans, becuase God is all things Good. he didnt want to banish everyones, but he had to do something- otherwise he wuld not be the God of justice.
So he sent Jesus- and focussed all the punishment and wrath of sin of the entire universe, past presenta nd future onto this ONE MAN. so only one person would have to take the just punishment of sin.
But this is a tangent.
THE POINT OF ALL OF THAT: We consider the act of homosexuality a sin. All people sin everyday, so being homosexual doesnt mean that that person is any less of a person, is any less loved by God than a hetrosexual. Every human is the same, and no one has the right to condemn a homosexual for their way of life.
WHY WOULD LOVING ANOTHER PERSON BE A SIN?: I don't know- to be totally honest, i have no idea. But that doesn't stop it being black or white.
Therefore i cannot and will not condemn Homosexuality, it is not my place, but i also cannot/will not condone it to be politically correct.
