A pig with whiskers.

Hi again. This is my cat. His name is Hektor.
But my brother secretly thinks he is a pig with whiskers.
He is incredibly fat and no one knows how that happened....

Here is his gorgeously handsome face that you cannot help but love...... 

And here is his not-so-gorgeous face....

Yes, he may be fat ... but that just means there's more of him to love ^_^

STAND!

Oh, stand! (Stand up, stand up)

For what you believe in, believe in,

Believe in God (He's the one to back you up)

We'll stand with you!

Oh, stand up (Stand up, stand up)

For what you believe in, believe in,

Believe in God (He's the one to back you up)

We'll stand with you!

He'll stand with you, oh yeah.

 

So true. Gotta Love Veggie-Tales!

more of buscar....

Well, apparently my little "buscar" box really thinks he is a bus-car, or something, because he has decided to move himself below the actual search box. I don't know if you can see his new position on your computer, but I can ... and it's a little annoying. Stay where you are!!

I've been getting 'good morning' texts from a friend of mine for the past week now - she's so wonderful. It's lovely to find a little message on my phone wishing me a good day when I wake up every morning! Only this morning I wasn't awake to hear my phone beep. Sorry...

I wish you knew....

"We love because He first loved us. If anyone says, 'I love God,' yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother."

- 1 John 4:19-21

"Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." - Matthew 5:44

Steampunk! For the Sims 3....

So, the Sims 3 got steampunk. And I HAD to get some stuff for my sims. I made a sim of my main character, Christian Rheese, for my up-and-coming-in-November steampunk/dark fantasy detective novel.

I'm kind of torn between thinking that this is WICKED-AWESOME and thinking that this kind of sucks. Here I was for a little while, thinking I was ahead of the market, going to write a steampunk novel that was really cool and actually have a chance of getting published. Turns out on NaNo there are A LOT of people writing steampunk.

Oh well. I'm writing it anyway, of course. Nothing will stop me! Guess it's just a bonus that I can make a sim of Christian now. ^_^

When stuff gets destroyed it hurts.

Like, a lot.

So this is my friend Jay and his coolio guitar. Which got destroyed on Wednesday because someone quite obviously stepped on it or smashed it without his knowledge and did not tell him. The head of the guitar is snapped off.

And this is a picture of a broken guitar that I got off his blog, which you can check out here. It's not ACTUALLY his ... at least, I don't think so. But either way that's just devestating to look at, if you're a guitar player like me or Jay. It hurts to think about it.

But yeah stuff getting destroyed just sucks. And it doesn't just have to be an object, like a guitar. If it gets destroyed, it sucks. And it hurts. Big time. But as Christians we forgive those who cause destruction. So everything's gonna be okay.

Luke 15:7

Do you know ... right now, the heavens are rejoicing because less than a second ago someone, somewhere, just became a christian. The angels are partying. Isn't that like the coolest thing ever?

So you, reading this ... I don't know who you are. Maybe I actually DO know you in real life. But whether or not I do, I hope we meet in heaven. Because that would be awesome.

Buscar?

I have a phone! And I've made literally 100 texts in the last four days or so. I love my friends.

Okay anyway, so I just changed my blog template, right? I love this new one. Only thing is, it was originally in Spanish, so I changed everything back to English so I could, you know ... read it. Problem is I have no control, apparently, over changing the search-box in the top right corner. So it says, "buscar". I googled that. For the exact meaning. It means, literally, in Spanish, "to seek". Which makes sense. But it does look a bit weird. So I'm just letting you know that I do not speak Spanish, maybe you do, I don't know, but either way that box is going to stay the way it is unless I discover a way to make it say "search", or possibly something cooler. So yeah that's all about that box.

Anyway.
This is, officially, the 7th post of October. Making October the month in which I have had the most posts. Yay! How exciting. I do have so much to say, and there is so much more I would like to say, but a lot of things people would like to say shouldn't go on the internet. For that I will stay partially silent. Meanwhile, enjoy the rest of what is posted on my blog. You might not understand it all. I don't think I understand all of what I write.

A list of things to tell you, concerning television shows and books:

1. Firefly is cool even though it was cancelled. Watch it anyway.

2. Is a plug for the book "Every Young Woman's Battle". If you a a girl between the ages of 13 and 22 or so, or you are a mother of a daughter of that age, I recommend reading it. It actually changed my life.

3. I am reading a book called "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" by Jonathan Safran Foer. A friend reccommended it to me. I have only read about the first ten pages or so but I like it so much that I changed my blog title in honor of the 9-year-old protagonist, Oskar. So thanks, Oskar.

4. The bible is the best book in the world. And I'm not just plugging it because I"m a Christian. It is, seriously, a good book.

5. Ever watched Wipeout? In need of a laugh? Quick. Youtube it. Or something. It's on Go! at about 7 pm on Sundays or something, I think. Google that too. My information may be inaccurate.

6. I have to go now and do uni work. I have to read "Film Art: An Introduction" which is far more than an introduction, let me tell you.

7 - which I just thought I'd cram in as I was leaving - Go read Scott Pilgrim!
