Basking in my own glory…

For people who are excited by such things (that’ll be me then), here’s a link to my articles online:
Israel Houghton – A Kingdom Without Walls
Kari Jobe – Singing Into People’s Lives
Brian Doerksen – Hope For The Broken
New Life Church – Remembering Who We Are
All those are mine. 
Snapshots
Posted by: Her Majesty on: March 10, 2009
That’s what I’m getting. Snapshots of people, and their lives, and just a little glimpse of who they are, or at least who they are at that moment. It’s a privilege, but…
You know when you have one photo of someone and you get to know it so well that when you see a photo from another angle or in a different light, it doesn’t look like them at all. Then trying to match up those contrasting images and fill in the gaps and get a sense of the bigger picture is quite a task.
Or just not even seeing another photo, and sitting with the knowledge that there’s a bigger picture you’ll never get to discover.
This happens so often in real life and we don’t even realise it. We momentarily cross paths, hardly notice as we make our marks on other people’s lives, and then move on. Kinda sad, in a way.
These snapshots, and these meandering thoughts about snapshots, are taking up quite a lot of my head space at the moment.
Stupid People shouldn’t even HAVE kids.

So, I keep seeing this story everywhere. In short: CBeebies presenter with one arm is, according to some Stupid People, giving their children nightmares. Apparently they think she should be sacked, because she obviously only got the job to ‘meet a quota’ anyway. Apparently if she doesn’t get sacked, the least she can do is ‘cover up her stump’.
Newsflash, Stupid People: Your toddler isn’t scared. You are.
I got this on an email today, I think it’s appropriate for situations such as these.
Yeah, I seem to have stopped blogging.

Sorry. 
It’s not that I don’t want to blog, it’s just that I want to do other things more…
This guy blogs however, and I think I agree with him on, well, pretty much everything. Plus he’s hilarious.
So, what’s new with me? Well, I started my placement last week, and it went rather well, so I’m quite looking forward to it this week. I’ve just finished my second important essay of the year, and now I do believe the only assessments left are the casework ones, which won’t be ’til the summer. Next Saturday I’m going to see the Irish Play with the old theatre studies crew which will be a trip and a half down memory lane… (“When Oy cast moy moynd back to that summer of 1936…”) And when certain blonde men get their act together we’ll be headed for the Ice Bar as well! It’s so cold they only let you stay for 40 minutes. How surreal and yet awesome!!
That’s all my news, or at least all I want to share on the evil internet. Oh, except my album is now for sale here, and it’s glorious.
My brother told me a fantastic joke when he was here over Christmas, that has for some reason popped into my head, so I shall end by relaying it for your unending amusement. ‘Tis a little dated now Obama has taken over the post, but oh well.
Donald Rumsfeld is giving President Bush his daily briefing, and informs him that there has been some fighting and three Brazilian soldiers have been killed.
George is aghast. “That’s awful!” he cries, “Are you sure?”
Rumsfeld is a little confused by this reaction, but assures him that yes, he is sure.
George weeps with his head in his hands, and his officials watch nervously until eventually he looks up and says dejectedly, “How many is a brazillion?”
Things.

Things that make me annoyed:
1. Beyonce’s ‘If I Were A Boy’ song. Sexist much? And contradictory. And stupid.
2. Winter coats with 3/4 length sleeves. Or any coats with 3/4 length sleeves, for that matter. Seriously, can anyone tell me how this ridiculous fashion doesn’t completely negate the entire point of wearing a coat in the first place? I’m baffled.
3. Spooks. What is up with Connie being the mole?! I don’t even care about Connie (except that she looks like my therapist, which is now a little disturbing) but you can’t just randomly reverse the character of someone who’s been quite clearly a goodie for two series. Way to act like the viewing public are idiots. Which most of them apparently are, since everyone seems to think it was a great conclusion to the story. “Wow, I never would have guessed she was secretly evil.” Of course not, because she wasn’t ever evil until the last two episodes. Grrrrrr. And, far too much unnecessary blood. I was not impressed. Spooks is on my blacklist.
Things that make me happy:
1. The Radio 1 breakfast show. It’s fun. And it wakes me up a lot quicker than music, which at the moment is a very good thing. Although a bit startling.
2. My new furry boots. They’re ace.
4. Christmas! I can’t wait. Time off to relax before my doom.
Things that make me stressed:
1. My placement. I’m terrified. Mostly because I found out today where it is and it’s in the one area I have no experience of and am rather daunted by, leading a group (eek!) and either I’m going to have to spend hours in crazy traffic to get there or it’ll cost me millions on the train. Unless it’s out of peak hours – please God! On the plus side, if I survive this I’ll be a LOT more confident for my second placement! I’m sure it’ll be fine…
Anyway, enough about me – so how’ve you been?
