Today I found that I really enjoy writing with highlighters.
... Excellent.

Brilliant
Two things!
One, Ms. Menear canceled our 8:00 class tomorrow morning. And I don't have class after that until 11:20 usually, so I don't have to get up until maybe 10:45 or so! How great is that?!
Two, it's been raining all evening and when it rains a lot of large puddles and 'rivers' form all over campus. I went puddle-jumping and it was a most joyous event. It was great to just let go and be childish for a while!
Ye-ep, ahhh... life is good. Life. is. good.

Rhymes with...
Alright. I couldn't think of anything I wanted to write about tonight, so I decided to save the last part of a conversation I just had with a good friend of mine. It was ridiculous. It was challenging. It was, to say the very least, epic. It may not seem very long, but from start to finish this lasted about an hour and a half. Enjoy.
Natalie

THE FORT
On April 25, 2009 a team of creative architects, innovative engineers, and hard-working construction workers fabricated a structure capable of inspiring majesty and awe within the heart of any who beheld said structure. The groundbreaking of the backstage area within the Ferneau Center of Pelfrey Hall at 911 E. Urbandale Dr. in Moberly, Missouri occurred at 8:40 in the evening, with the assembly of the structure starting approximately ten minutes later.
The team used resources they found in the vicinity of the stage; resources included innumerable mattresses, blankets and sheets, chairs, pieces of a musical set [pillars, styrofoam pieces], a large, empty wooden box, fußball tables, a ping-pong table, an air hockey table, and music stands. Various extra props were strewn throughout the structure. These pieces gave it a more home-like feel. The structure was originally intended to be a simple "fort". However it did, indeed, turn out to be more of a home - or even more of a castle - than anything. Rooms that had specific purposes were created throughout the the building process. The "fort" - which later came to be known as THE FORT - included a backyard, a living room (complete with working fireplace), a boy's bedroom, a girl's bedroom (which also acted as an armory), a kitchen, a multi-purpose room, and a sacrificial room. Please note: The team has decided not to comment on the construction of this room at this point in time.
The team of visionaries included students Dustan Corcoran, Kane Cotten, Seth Harken, Natalie Keene, and Loree Vickio. Honorary member of the team Michael Walton sat in on the construction of the structure for an unrecorded amount of time. The team and THE FORT had a number of visitors throughout the night, such as fellow students Julee Benton and Billy Glosson. The team found Benton and Glosson to be positively delightful; they were courteous and excitable. Unfortunately, this could not be said of other student visitors, who found themselves to be inexplicably envious of the team's wondrous structure. A great bitterness swept over these students and their anger caused them to take on the decision to attack THE FORT.
Armed with volleyballs and basketballs, the attackers quietly sneaked onto the stage and wordlessly launched their weapons onto the roof of the structure. The attackers then proceeded to retreat, but not before the team caught a glimpse of them. Corcoran chased after the attackers and was soon followed by Cotten. Although the weapons caused little damage to THE FORT, the other team members remained behind to fix the structure and prepare for another possible attack. Corcoran returned in haste to report that the attackers were being held in an inescapable room and that Cotten was guarding the entrance to said room. The team continued to put finishing touches on THE FORT and make sure it was structurally sound. Unfortunately, moments later the team was notified by a third party that the attackers were being difficult. Corcoran and Keene traversed to the containment room. From what the team could piece together, the third party was being blamed by the attackers as the actual perpetrator. Having seen the true attackers, the team dismissed this accusation and then used force-and-chase to rid themselves of having to deal with the attackers. Corcoran, Cotten, and Keene returned to THE FORT. There was peace for the rest of the evening, although the team was in defense mode during that time.
The structure continued to be worked on; construction ended at approximately 10:35. Benton and Glosson returned for another visit. As they conversed with the team within THE FORT, however, a resident assistant informed them that the structure needed to be dismantled within twenty minutes. Disheartened, the seven students remained inside of THE FORT for a few moments. They were soon joined by three other students: Rich Heuer, Annie Nickel, and Tyler White. After expressing their impressibility, they joined the seven students in deconstructing THE FORT. Although it had taken one hour and forty-five minutes to build, it was taken down in less than ten minutes.
The team believes that although their structure of beauty, elegance, and strength may not exist in a physical sense anymore, it will always exist in their memories and hearts.
"THE FORT stands!"
"THE FORT lives on!"
Note: Corcoran, Cotten, Harken, Keene, and Vickio decided to retaliate against the attackers. After the dismantling of their beloved structure, they took a break and then journeyed to Wal-Mart for supplies. After completing their act of retaliation the team members retired to their respective dormitories. They consider the "war" to have merely just begun.

Irritated
I am irritated.
I rarely become irritated, or annoyed.
Like anything else, I let things build up to the point of ultimate frustration and once I get there, my feelings get the best of me. I mean, I can handle a lot of whatever. It usually takes quite a bit for me to be mad, upset, embarrassed, irritated, etc. And even then, after a day or two I'm over it and I don't think about any of it ever again. I'm not completely thick-skinned, though; there are times when a single sentence is said and I will feel like I've been cut right open. Those things stay with me a long time. But seriously. Sometimes I just want to say, "Enough is enough. Stop."
I think it's just one of those days...
... but I am still irritated.
I think I'm more irritated at the fact that I let myself feel irritated than over what has actually been said - even though what's been said has accumulated over a span of time, and it wasn't a mere one-time statement or anything.

Parsing
Man oh man... I have eight verses of 1 Samuel 17 to parse for Hebrew by 11:20 tomorrow morning. Fantastic. Well. Technically I have five left... but I'm going to type everything up, so I say I have eight. This is the most ridiculous assignment ever. I like it, but I dislike it. I have purposely put it off, even though I know that when I sit down to just do it I will have no problem and won't mind the work.

Two Weeks
I will be done with my first year at Central Christian College of the Bible two weeks from today. I will pack everything up on Tuesday, May 5. I will take my last final at 3:00 on Wednesday, May 6. Once finished with the final, I will walk out the door, get in my car, and drive home. Stoked. It's been good, but I need a break. Even though I'm taking three classes online this summer... I need to be away from Moberly, Missouri.
And that's all I have to say about that.
And that's all I have to say about that.

Psalms
I sat in the library tonight after doing homework to read in peace. Such a good time to do so... what with it being the end of the year and everything, I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the work that has yet to be done. So I read a lot in the Book of Psalms. Great choice. Reading Psalms just relaxes me. Fantastic.

I don't know how to change this fact.

So.
This is new.
With my brother's love for Japan, I suppose I knew all along that it really was only a matter of time before his passion would have an affect on me.
Let's see where this takes me.

Hockey
Tonight I watched the first playoff game for the NHL Stanley Cup. The two teams playing were Vancouver (Canucks) and St. Louis (Blues). I've got a couple friends who are pretty into the Blues, so they had me watch a few games with them this season. I'm not going to lie, I never thought I would enjoy watching hockey - especially on television (I enjoy watching sports in person more than on television). But seriously... I really enjoy watching hockey. For one thing, it's fast-paced basically all the time, which I love. And another thing is the fights! Hockey is brutal, for sure. It's honestly fun to watch the game hoping a fight will break out. I know, I know, violence isn't a good thing, yadda yadda yadda. But it's hockey. It wouldn't be hockey without violence and fighting. Man oh man. Brilliant game. Brilliant sport.

Help
Today was good.
There was a lot of negativity coming from the student body, though, and that was a bummer. It wasn't even lunchtime and I had already heard so many complaints and such that I was feeling pretty weighted down. So many students were not wanting to be back at school. Granted, it's the first day after a pretty long break, and I understand that. But seriously. We don't have to be here. We get to be here. We are so blessed, and I think we forget that often.
I had to pray a lot today for patience and a positive outlook. I was looking to God all day, and that really helped me survive, if you will. I've also been praying for a lot of students lately. So many have been on my heart, all for different reasons. I simply hope that God listens to and answers my prayers by uplifting and encouraging said students in ways that are beneficial to each of them.
God is good.
All the time.

Home Stretch
I have four weeks of school left: three weeks consist of classes, the last consists of finals. I have three finals this term, as well as a speech to write and present. I'm not too worried about any of these things.
This year has gone by so quickly that it's basically ridiculous. There have been highs and there have been lows, but when it's all said and done I've enjoyed most of the year. I've loved the schoolwork, and cannot wait for next year to start in that regard. But I do need a break. I've worked hard. I've learned so much, though, and wouldn't trade all the time and effort I've put into my studies for anything. And I've grown more than I like to admit. I'm merely stubborn.
I'm ready for the next few weeks. They should be good.
Busy, but good.
Long, but good.
Tiresome, but good.
Let's do this.

New
I just finished watching A Walk to Remember for the first time. Oh my goodness. Yes, it's a Nicholas Sparks book. Yes, it's cheesy. Yes, it's a chick flick. But I loved it. I really did. It was inspiring, not going to lie. I need to really start living my life in such a way that reflects who I am and what I believe. I need to take each day by the horns and live each day as if it were my last.

Fam
I got to see my dad's brother's family today.
That was pretty sweet.
They live in Gulf Breeze, Florida. One of my cousins, William, is a junior in high school and he was playing in a basketball tournament; his team made it to the championship game and we got to watch. They didn't win, but there were a lot of unfair calls being made and such. They played pretty well, though.
It's always good to see family.

Stuck
So I'm in Memphis, Tennessee at the moment.
I'm supposed to be in Gulf Shores, Alabama.
Story time.
I left Central this morning at 9:00 to get to Columbia Regional Airport by 9:45.
My flight was at 11:23.
Long story short, we didn't leave until 12:40 because all flights were grounded in Memphis due to bad weather.
Got into Memphis at exactly 2:30.
Five minutes before my flight was supposed to leave for Pensacola, Florida.
Fantastic!
Thankfully, that flight was delayed to 3:30.
Sat on the plane for a good half hour due to weight-balance checks.
Flew more than halfway to Pensacola, about 45 minutes...
when the Memphis dispatcher radioed in, telling the pilots to turn the plane back around because they were over their duty hours.
What?
Yes.
We had about half an hour left to get to Pensacola.
But no. We had to go back to Memphis.
Then we had to fly around in the air for twenty minutes because there was too much fuel in the plane... ?
Supposedly there are no extra spots on the night flight to Pensacola.
Supposedly there are no extra spots on any Friday flights.
Supposedly there are no extra spots on any Saturday flights.
"Extra spots" on flights include flights to Pensacola, Fort Walton Beach, Biloxi, and Mobile.
Wonderful.
Fortunately, my dad got me on a flight tomorrow morning because he's an elite member or something? I don't really know. But I am thankful that I don't have to wait until Sunday to fly out... I'm not even standby or anything. I have a guaranteed spot on that flight to Pensacola tomorrow morning.
Seriously, though.
I wish I were already in Gulf Shores with my grandparents, instead of at a Holiday Inn in Memphis.
Mostly because my hotel room smells like old pizza.
Ew.
But God is good and He works everything out. Brilliant.

Class
I have one more class until spring break can officially start for me.
History of Israel.
Oh yes.
A full fifty-five minutes of Pelfrey-isms, flipping through my Bible, answering true/false questions on my study guide, and wondering what kind of funny things Dave will say or what kind of interesting facial expressions I can get out of Dustan.
Such a good class...
