Not that anyone is going to read this, but I just got a second job. Sorta. Ya'll know I've been working in the coffee shop for the last 2 years, but I recently got offered a position in the bookstore (inside the coffee shop..crazy I know). To be more specific, I'll be working in both places. Half the week with the coffee and the other half with the books. It might sound a bit weird but I'm excited for the change of pace and a little variety. Plus I love me some books.
I've been wanting to work in there FOREVER, but never thought I would be able to work in both places. Heck, I didn't even apply for it, they just offered it to me because a couple people recommended me and they figured someone who loves books as much as I do would be great in there So it completely fell into my lap.

Training tomorrow. Sure to be great, even though I have to go in on my day off to do it.

I just woke up after having a horrible nightmare about a tsunami.

It started with my family at my aunt and uncle's house (they live about a mile away) and we were having a bbq and there were some high school girls there ( I don't get this part since I'm not in high school) but we were outside and they were asking me all of these questions. All of a sudden there was this HUGE earthquake (I made everyone get under the picnic table). I don't know how we (or I) figured out there was a tsunami, but there was. And we are trying to high tale it out of there and head inland. All of a sudden I found myself alone, without my family members, particularly my younger sister. The sky turns blood red and I'm running around the streets on the backside of the high school (no idea how I got there as it is 8 miles from my house...) and in my dream you can literally SEE this huge tsunami wave heading right for us. And some people were still like "ah, that's not a tsunami, it's a false alarm" but DUDE. So I run past this girl and we talk a little (while running for our lives?) Don't remember what I said, but something to the effect of "you need Jesus". Then I get on this tiny ferry boat ( again...what the? and it was more like a skiff anyways) and it transports me across like..a stream. And I jump off and start heading up some hills and end up inside the old movie theater and then I have to stop and ask directions because I apparently don't know where I'm going and I cant find where North is (even though I really want to go East. Or up a mountain) then I run up some other hills and I get to the hospital and I go inside and I'm in some weird basement area where they are processing cardboard or something like that and I somehow get stuck on this landing high in the air with no stairs around (no idea how I got there) and this dude that is convinced that he is Tarzan helps me out (he was kinda like "just zipline down these metal pipes above your head...yeah right!) but we find some back entrance thingy, and I convince him to leave with me. Then we end up on the backside of my high school AGAIN and have to run up these crazy concrete steps of doom (talking to him about Jesus) and we run through this parking lot where there is a POLICE CHASE going on, and me and Tarzan are seriously running around in the MIDDLE of it, and then the (perp?) starts shooting a gun, 3 times...I duck down and dodge them all, but the cop next to me got shot twice in the chest. Then we get away and run into a group of men that are STILL not convinced there is a tsunami (even those the tsunami is now upon us) so we grab onto some weird pipes and just hold on....luckily based on where we were the water came in and was rising fast, but we were all ok. PHEW!
And then they go "oh, that wasn't the end of the world" and I say something like "no, it was a warning". 


I realize this dream does not sound very scary...more like crazy and ridiculous, but seriously I was freaked out. And the whole time in my dream I'm praying to God and hoping that I won't die in some horrific tsunami and I'm like, evangelizing to people I'm running next to (not sure if that's good or bad. Talk about waiting until the last minute!) and I  was really concerned about my family...then the WAVE, man. It was so real looking. It was seriously going to wipe us all out. So I'm not sure what the point of the dream was, but yes. Very unsettling.

2 down, 7 to go, including ones by Leslie Ludy, Ravi Zacharias, Dannah Gresh and others. Happy day

June: the month that I've been getting worked to death!

But I press on.....

UGH. Why am I so bad at the xanga thing right now?? Everyone got out of the groove, so it's not even much fun anymore! I never thought this day would come. Then again, I don't spend much time on the computer anymore. If I'm not working, I'm sleeping. Or attempting to sleep. Kinda like right now. It's 2:42 am I work at 7:30 am and I am right now, 'attempting' to sleep.

Interesting, isn't it?
