"There’s some people in this world who you can just love and love and love no matter what."

I would give anything in the world right now to have the power of teleportation for like, the next 48-72 hours. Like seriously anything.










p.s the quote above is from a book by John Green called An Abundance of Katherines. I have never read it but now I am curious. Can anyone tell me if it's worth investigation?

Oh darling, let me listen.

so, I feel lonely

And you feel lonely. So how about we both be not lonely together?

Stuff....

A list for people who know me. Here are 43 things you may not know....

1. I'm an introverted extrovert ... if that makes sense. I might be the quiet one of the group sometimes, but trust me I wouldn't be anywhere else for the world.
2. My favorite foods are pizza, chicken and potato. Yum.
3. I adore Shakespeare. Macbeth is my favorite tragedy and A Midsummer Night's Dream my favorite comedy. 
4. I can't wait for Heaven!
5. I won't say no to chocolate
6. I hate the way my nails looks and I wish I was brave enough to buy nail polish and paint them ... but people would make a big deal out of me wearing nail polish so I won't....
7. I've always wished I had an older brother.
8. I already wish I wasn't 17....
9. I wish my family played more boardgames
10. I wish I didn't spend so much time on the computer, but due to TAFE it can't really be helped
11. I always sleep with about 3 or 4 pillows
12. I get nervous around big dogs
13. I haven't owned a pair of sunglasses in like 3 years :(
14. I pretty much can only drink milk when I have some form of chocolate to go with it (or milo), but I will occasionally get a random craving for the stuff and down a glass in seconds
15. I love talking about God, the bible, or anything related to Christianity; I'll love it if you start a conversation about it :D
16. I used to dislike getting random hugs from people, but a few certain friends have shaped me over the years and now physical touch is one of my two loves languages (the other being quality time).
17. I can make really awesome chocolate chip cookies from scratch from a recipe I've memorized
18. I basically can't cook anything else!
19. I used to love Pokemon. Don't play it anymore, but I certainly won't diss you for playing it even if you're over 14. Gotta catch 'em all! :)
20. I like looking at people's shoes, and I will often remember what pair of shoes you were wearing on a particular day rather than the rest of your outfit. Weird, I know...
21. I had two rings up til recently ... one I lost down the back of the couch, looked for it it but never found it ... and the other I've misplaced. And now I'm sad.
22. If I'm comfortable enough to bag you out in front of other people it actually means you're one of the people I love most! Sorry. :)
23. When I have a boyfriend he won't have any hoodies because I'll have stolen them all ;)
24. I'm way too picky about the kind of music I listen to ... but maybe that's because it costs so much to buy music these days >.<
25. What makes the most angry is when you pretend like you know what I'm thinking ... how could you know?!?
26. I wish I could play the cello
27. I hate math and can barely do anything mathematical past a year 8 level....
28. I love it when I've spent the day with you and when I get home I can still smell you on my clothes :)
29. If you hand me a Sharpie I promise I will write on you! Hehehe....
30. I hate it when people shorten "I love you" to ILY. There is no meaning in that. If you really love me, tell me, please.
31. I love to eat things for breakfast that aren't breakfast food, ie, cold pizza, leftover macaroni, apple pie....
32. I might complain when we end up staying at your house far longer than we intended because our mums didn't stop talking, but really, that homework can wait ... I don't ever, ever want to leave you!
33. Toy Story, to this day, is my favorite movie EVER.
34. Don't chew gum around me. I hate, hate, hate that stuff. But I guess that's lucky for you because I'm probably one of the few people in the world who won't ask you for a stick of gum. ;)
35. If you ever find yourself saying to me, 'Gee Erin, why're you so quiet all of the sudden?' If I'm not showing signs of sheer exhaustion, this is your cue to realize something is very wrong. I'm either really mad at someone (possibly you) or something's majorly upsetting me.
36. French Toast and grilled cheese sandwiches are the greatest things you can make that include two slices of bread.
37. I consider myself a converter, not one who gets converted, so brownie points for you if you get me into a band/tv show because I'm pretty picky when it comes to that sort of stuff ... blah sometimes I hate my own choices. Anyone have any bands they can suggest to me?? I need new music...
38. I like hanging things on my walls to make my room pretty :)
39. I can't wait for the final Scott Pilgrim book (July 20th, people!!)
40. I can't wait to go to the US but I'm afraid I'm going to get very, very lonely during the six weeks we are gone... pray for me?
41. If you're reading this, I love you :D
42. I love taking pictures
43. I wish a certain someone was here so I could hug them!

Non-existent drool-worthy food....

Feeling stressed again ... why is that my stress is always accompanied by loneliness :( And also hunger, at the moment ... *sigh* I would kill for a good steak right now. Hahaha....

My heart and flesh cry out, for you the Living God, your Spirit's water to my soul

I love the Psalms. There is a psalm for every emotion one can ever experience. And if for some reason there doesn't seem like there is one for the way I feel, I read many and then piece together my own from multiple verses.

Hear my cry, O God;

 listen to my prayer.

Turn to me and be gracious to me, 

 For I am lonely and afflicted; 

The troubles of my heart have multiplied; 

 free me from my anguish. 

On my bed I remember you;

 I think of you through the watches of the night.

Because you are my help, 

 I sing in the shadow of your wings. 

My soul clings to you; 

Your right hand upholds me. 

My soul finds rest in God alone; 

 my salvation comes from him. 

He alone is my rock and my salvation; 

 He is my fortress; I will never be shaken. 

I will lie down and sleep in peace,

 For you alone, O Lord, 

make me dwell in safety. 

- Verses from Psalm 61, 25, 63, 62, and 4.
