maybe there is a god. Somehow i just managed to mow, and blow off the side walk without a drop of snot, or a single sneeze coming from my nose. For anyone who really knows me, knows thats a real feet. If there is a god, he is in the form of a pill called Zyrtek. Hopefully this last week isnt just a fluke, hopefully this medicine actually works.

6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.



i needed to read this SO badly today.
thank you quincy.

sometimes people should think a little bit harder about their lives. Once in a while we should all stop, look around at what we are doing and think " is this a good idea?".

some current issues just prove to me that not drinking and doing hash is still the best choice for me.


Now here is a funny picture:

This month is Mental Health Awareness Month, so the LiveJournal team is offering users a chance to support the Depression and Bipolar Alliance, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping improve the lives of those suffering from mood disorders. Proceeds from purchases of the Emerging Sun v-gift during May will be donated to the DBSA, so feel free to buy one. Or, if you really want to rack up some good karma points, get a bunch!

And don't forget: Mother's Day is this Sunday. Be a dear and check out the v-gifts shop. Send something that'll make her smile.

We'd like to remind you that the nomination process for LiveJournal Advisory Board user-representatives has begun. If you think you're fit for the job, now's the time to nominate yourself! After all, you're the only who can do it. In two weeks, on the 22nd, the voting process will begin; we'll remind you about it again here.

If you're interested in keeping up with the nominations, watch lj_election_en. We'll post the results and announce the winner by the end of the day on May 30th. The new user-representatives will be seated on June 1st. Further details can also be found in lj_2008.

Hey guys, I'm trying to fix all of the images from the layouts, but I don't have most of them saved on my computer. If any of you guys happen to notice an image not working, and have that image saved, can you upload it and post a link to it?

THANKS<3

Advisory Board Nominations Begin

This morning we are opening the nomination process for the user-representative positions on the LiveJournal Advisory Board. A full description of the process can be found here.

To get you started, here are the basic things you should know:

- You may only nominate yourself
- Each nominee will need 100 motions of support in order to be eligible to be a candidate
- We ask that you keep your comments on the nomination posts to "I support this nomination" or something to that effect; be kind to those who will need to count the "supports", please.
- Although the nominations and election poll will take place in lj_election_en, you do not need to watch the community in order to keep up with the election; we'll announce everything here as well.

Everyone here at LiveJournal is looking forward to this first-ever User-Representative election! We'd like to thank everyone who is participating. Some words from our current Advisory Board members:

danah boyd: “LiveJournal is filled with very passionate users. These users have helped shaped LJ's various communities over the last decade and it gives me great joy that LJ is recognizing and incorporating users' voices into the decision-making processes. Having user representatives from different parts of LJ on the Advisory Board will help make sure that the company is meeting the needs of its diverse constituents.”

Esther Dyson: "I'm sure we'll learn a lot from the process, and later on from the two users selected as well. Especially, I hope that the discussions before the voting will be more meaningful and more focused on policy than those in some offline campaigns."

Brad Fitzpatrick: "It's cool that SUP is getting users involved with the LiveJournal decision-making process. I look forward to seeing who the community elects and the results of our efforts working together."

Professor Lawrence Lessig: “The user elections will provide a critical check on LJ's process of maintaining a valuable and trustworthy environment for the LJ community. The mandate of the elections will give the user representatives pride of place among the members of the Advisory Board. Each of us will look to them to guide us in our judgment about how best to make LJ the community we all aspire that it will be. I look forward to welcoming the user representatives, and learning a great deal from them.”

I think im dying. For the last 24 hrs ive been stopped up, sneezing, and dealing with some hellacious headaches. I think once i get my stimulas check, ill go see a specialist or something. I need to do something soon, its really getting bad.

So tonight i started reading this article in the latest Rolling Stone about evangelical churches that are so popular in the mid west. While im reading it, i notice this trend throughout the pages. This common theme is the fact that a lot of the people in it seem to say something about God putting them there. More or less what im trying to get at is this whole "god told me to" or "i think its Gods plan" thing i hear all the time. Even outside of the article, i hear this a lot. People really believing that God is leading them in that particular path. This shit gets on my nerves. This phrase is a bunch of bull shit. THis phrase seems to be a lame cop out. This phrase seems to give people a reason to stop thinking for themselves. If there is a God, why is he doing this? Do you think he has nothing better to do than plan out all the dumb shit that happens to people???? Why the hell would GOD give us the gift of reason, if hes gonna plan it out. I could go on and on about this, but i wont. People need to stop using God, faith, church, and pastors and a means of solving problems.

I might get a new car this week. I hope God points me in the right direction.

for those of you that don't know yet, I'm getting married!

If you want the whole story, feel free to call me. I dont really feel like typing it all out, haha.
For the record though, he's really stepped it up and is acting like such a wonderful, caring, godly man. I've never been this happy about anything before in my whole life and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him :]

his "will you marry me?" tattoo & my ring!!! :]
