F.R.I.E.N.D.S addiction or admiration

My mother Denise and my younger brother Michael have always been huge f.r.i.e.n.d.s fanatics. I myself, have always enjoyed the show but never became quite as enthralled as they were. Although, I'm reaching a point where I need a fix every couple of days. My Aunt Debbie bought the entire series collection so I've been watching it every other night for the last couple of weeks. I can honestly say I Love it. Yes, some of its inappropriate. I've never actually met people that promiscuous before and they do say a strong collection of swear words every now and then. Despite their ungodly lifestyles, the show is ridiculously witty and comedic. I hardly believe its that legitimately funny. I always watch trying to find the slightest repeat of a joke, but the sarcasm form these six characters kills me.I love how random yet entirely true some of the humor is. In one episode, Rachel puts a tie in Chandlers mouth to keep him quiet and he just looks back at her and spits it out. I always watch movies were someone has a sock or something put in their mouth to keep them quie. The funny part is they struggle as though the sock or tie is duck taped to their face. I always wonder (like most people)why don't they just spit it out. And, of course f.r.i.e.n.d.s would actually have someone realize the situation and spit it out. I know that sounds really confusing, I'm trying to point out how witty and comedic the topics on f.r.i.e.n.d.s are. The only real set back is most of the tragic situations are predictable. You know if someone is really excited about what they are about to eat it will end up on the floor or in Joeys mouth. Well rereading this blog I noticed how I sound like a freak, but that's okay I am falling in love with f.r.i.e.n.d.s, so its okay.

I'll be there for you.

hi.

I am hanging by the feet of God. This passed week has been incredibly stressful. Yet, at the same time beautiful. I'm more motivated than ever to "do." I have been emptied over and over again and yes, it has been painful but necessary. I have a pretty set schedule but I've been able to make changes so I can visit my friends. I'm looking forward to my trip to college park this weekend. I've heard my fair share of horror stories about that campus but i think I'll survive. Jake Goldberg will protect me from the dangers. I also am very excited for Saturday night live (first baptist church of green valley style). Every 5th Saturday of a month my church performs skits from the show. It's always a wicked good time and I'm trying to bring friends and get some visitors involved. If that interests you let me know and I'll come pick you up, wherever you live. I'm also not excited about my UMCP trip because my buds Megan and Teddy are coming home. I've already made my plans so I'll have to run into them another time. Hey dad, I love you and I promise to do the laundry after work today. Yesterday I gave my first speech and it went great. I actually wrote a monologue and performed it. Acting has really helped in Public Speaking I'm defiantly ahead of the game. God really revealed himself through my best friend Erika. She is searching and growing and falling more in love with the creator daily. The love she is developing is truly an encouragement to my personal walk. It's so funny that her and I always seem to be struggling at the same time. I'm blessed I have a best friend that is so easy to love and wants to learn more about the Lord. She is an excellent example of God drawling people to His greatness. I think I also have a new accountability group and I know that's going to change my life. Sometimes we need other believers that we can share some of the details only the father hears. I would encourage anyone who reads this to find a trustworthy friend who you can be accountable to. I've needed to let go and God has given me peace that the process is already starting. I know this has been an incredibly random pile of thoughts with no paragraphs, but I'm glad I'm starting to hop back aboard the blogging train.

keep on keepin' on...

Against My Will

Here’s the thing, no, I don't hate to blog, yes, and I haven't for a really long time. Please I don't hate the blogging community I’m just a busy girl and slightly unmotivated. I went to Colorado for a mission trip called city reach from June 9th to the 15th. I've been on two other trips with the city reach organization and never has it made me more excited for the moments when the holy spirit leads you to share the good news. I'll tell the world more later right now im at the coffee house having to fulfill my promise I made to blog. I feel rude with people performing their art in front of me and I have my face buried in Paul’s Mac. In the name of kindness and common courtesy I must go...

Hey Katie!

Good Night!

Here is Mary Eileen celebrating her seventy third birthday with friends and family at the Peterman house. I know, she was a cutie!

this entry shall be large and in charge. In charge of what? I don't know but still large. Well this last Tuesday my grandmother Mary Eileen Guilday passed away. I'm sure anyone reading this knows that. It was very cool, sad, and, crazy. Cool because she had been suffering so long and her recovery would have been painful. Also cool because shes with Jesus she no longer will wonder or fell pain, shes worshiping the king for all eternity which makes me tickled. Sad because she was loved and a wonderful example for her family and friends. Crazy because throughout all the strife in my family peace has been made. Stupid arguments that happened at Christmas's and family events gone by don't matter. God is uniting my family and showing all of us what really matters and what are hearts need to be fixed on. I am so blessed to have been their when she left this earth. My dad has been so bold and so strong through this whole process you can see the living god leading him through prayer and love. I have more respect for him than i could have ever imagined. God is using and blessing the Guilday family so i thank you readers for your prayer and concern. I have had amazing friends to lean on and hug on during this transition period. Thank you.

As i promised

Well last weekend i attended the Christian Conference known as impact in Ocean City for the very last time. I had very hi hopes that were well met aside from the fact that some speakers were not really my style and they were not very sound in their preaching. Some rambled others were telling what seemed like 300 stories at once. Oh speaking of 300 if you have not seen it yet it is highly Fantastic with three or four minor nude scenes but, all in all it was amazing. The slow motion cinematography has a great emotional impact on the audience. I found the actors to appear most sincere, nothing seemed funny it held the suspension of disbelief relatively well. But, back to impact, i was able to reunite with my ladies from Teen Community Bible Study which was very exciting. well then i shall pray a good night sleep is had by all.

yours truly,

Awesome.

coming soon...

I shall very soon update and let the world wide web know all about my adventures at Impact 2007

I have come to realize that i am indeed never going to become a daily blogger I'm just not that exciting i find it more interesting to wait over a 4 to 6 day gap then cultivate the interesting moments together. I also am very aware of my poor spelling habits so hopefully this blog is an improvement. My, what insane weather has come our way Thursday it was a spring dress and sandals and today I'm wearing two pairs of socks (indoors) just to keep warm . I really want to talk about the relationships in my life but i need to pray for them first. Their is so much I've realized that would take days and days of typing to justify my experience but, alas i don't have that kind of time so i will say this, "the moment we realize our true intentions and, stop tricking ourselves that were doing the right thing, the more honest we become." I tend to just accept things instead of ask questions. That's over. i want to be kinder, respected, and humble. My attitude needs to sink away leaving me without expectation or pretense everything needs to look new only then will i be able to see Him working.




oh i almost forgot,"happy St Patricks Day"

King Evan

This past Saturday some fellow Linganorians and I spent the evening watching and participating in a male beauty pageant. We went in hopes to discover who would be crowned the reigning king of this Frederick county public school. The winner was none other than they refined and dedicated Mr. Evan Ponton. The competition was fears but this young man wooed the judges and show casted his talent. I myself was very pleased with the competition as a whole their was no fowl judging or misconduct back stage. This experience made me feel i little closer to the other seniors who i had not spoken with in several years. I enjoyed the fellowship and laughter that followed that evening. Overall i had doubt about the show in terms of quality, moral, and my own personal insecurities but, by evenings end i was pleased and proud of the show. I almost fell like a sell out because the musicals and plays need so much more preparation and talent yet the house is barley half full. When a bunch of 18 year old boys dancing to, "its rainin' men" sells out. Overall i was fortunate to participate last Saturday.

Well on this fine Saturday i was able to see Amazing grace with my mom and dad, go ice skating with the S.t Michael's youth, and thrift shop it was lovely. I found that about three years ago i was an extreme bargain shopper, and now i found a passion for low prices once again. I'm reminded of the saying, "one mans trash is another mans treasure" this is the constitution for thrift shopping. The feeling of recycling clothing is extraordinary. The prices are cheap and the finds are unique. I think one talent i have is the ability to shop well. Anyway, I'm really struggling Whit two of my friendships. It seem the same two people are companions one minute then control freaks the next. I haven't been helping the situation because sometimes i fight fire with fire and react just as they did. The snow was nice 2 hour delays are very comforting but we really can't afford anymore snow days or the younger students will miss my churches annual mission trip in Colorado. OOhh I'm very excited because i discovered i love a food that happens to be very healthy for me. Peas oh my goodness peas are so great. I love when their really warm and you bite into them and the mushy goodness fills the spaces between your teeth. This is a huge moment because rarely do i enjoy any food that's going to help me out in the long run. I hope all you lancer fans will be attending Mr. Linganore this Saturday its going to be quite a showdown. Sean and i had to practice swing dancing today and I'm pretty confident we were the best. If you haven't seen The Prestige i highly suggest watching it. That movie was phenomenal!!!!!

LOST

Its never a party w/o a crazy Russian jungle woman...

The Lost extravaganza...

We have Kate season 2 and Kate season 3 complete with freckles and sass.

Here is Mr. Horn as John Lock covered in the blood of the diseased Boon.

To the left is Charley with his pre and post baby Claires. Notice the fate and late finger tape rings.

John Horn who rocked the house as the amazing Desmond.

Here is John who came dressed and tattooed as the serious doctor Jack.

The Lost Season Three Extravaganza!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We even had our own authentic darma food labels

Here is our palm tree candle light setting, which really helped achieve the island mood, complete with a handcuffed Jin played by Jake.

Yes i admit in the past i was one of those outsiders how saw and heard about the new television sensation LOST and thought it ridiculous, stupid, and more importantly confusing. But please all you current fans forgive me i have changed my ways. The fact that Lost is sooooooo confusing is part of it beauty and appeal. Over this past Christmas break i had enough free time to watch the previous two seasons and the couple of episodes of season 3 online, which by the way was extremely annoying because I'd get half way through an episode and the computer would freeze. But aside from my technological complications i was able to catch myself up in time to be so completely obsessed my friends and i had a party on February 7, 2007 that rocked the house. Above are photographs of the magical event. Everyone was required to come in costume and as you can see, some were more authentic than others but, collectively the night was a smashing success. Anywhooo did anyone catch this weeks episode because i was so confused...


So poor Desmond has to keep saving Charley as many times as he can until the universe course corrects itself????????? WHHAAA???

I fell in Love with Donna all over again

Yes i went and i saw. On February 4,2007 i indeed saw Wicked with my all time favorite adult Donna Mercer. Seeing it again made me enjoy it even more i new all the words to every song and the entire day was filled with excitement laughter. I actually had a really rough morning that turned into the coolest day ever. I went to church then lady and i rolled hard to B-more. We took a detour and scoped out UMBC. We then went into a colorful Mexican restaurant were everyone taking our order spoke hardcore jive i unfortunately could not interpret their lingo but fortunately Miss i grew up in the ghetto new just what they were trying to get across. We had a wonderful heart-to-heart while eating an all cheese quesadilla and a burrito salad. Then we strolled over to the Theatre were we waited in our matching outfits 3 hours before the show. We were the first in line we filled out a slip of paper with some personal information and we were officially in the ballet. Then we strolled around trying to find a place were we could keep warm for 30 minutes, when we found ourselves face to face with the young woman who played Elphiba (the star) we then took a picture and complimented her on the performance which we had not even seen yet. It was clearly fate that the two of us would later find ourselves winner at the Mercy of an annoying hefty man randomly drawing tickets. We were the third name called. We were so excited we started screaming and hugging strangers. After we regained composer we waited in a Starbucks across the street until it was show time. We took our seats and enjoyed the creative and detailed untold story of the witches of Oz. The only complicating we ran into was when Lady's skirt had a serious static cling malfunction. Don't worry she was able to walk out of the theatre shameless. So all together this roller coaster day was one of the best days of my life.

Wicked.. I think Yes

Once in the year 2004 i saw the Broadway performance of the Musical Wicked. It was my very first viewing of a Broadway production and i loved it. I have seen shows such as Rent, 12 Angry men, none were as thrilling or moving as Wicked. The cleverly written untold story of the witches of Oz was breath taking. The original star Idina Menzel signed my playbill making the experience even more worth while. Considering i have recently turned 18 my father had the idea to take me to see wicked in Baltimore. That idea was lost because of financial issues until...

The amazing Donna Mercer discovered that on Sundays the Baltimore theatre has a drawling for two tickets for the affordable price of $25. Therefore, tomorrow I'm trying to once again watch the show i love. We're going to church then heading to Baltimore. Here are three reasons why we may win such tickets.
1. The Superbowl also takes place tomorrow allowing less people to be attending.
2. We are going several hours early giving us more opportunities to have our names drawn.
3. we're going to try and win as many times as possible, so if we don't go this weekend the chances of us going another are rather high.

Oh the places

i am so done with being on the go. This year has been so stressful. I'm ready to stop being hassled and breathe. I have so much to do that i really can only live moment by moment just to maintain sanity. I know it will all work out, i just need peace. I had an awesome time on the Winter Retreat. God really showed up in that get-away weekend. I was laid flat. I'm struggling with the idea that God forgives me, that God forgets our sins after we confess and repent them. The retreat did awesome things for me but later this week i still found myself douting and messing up once again. I want to let go! I'm ready! Hopfully if i remain peacful the things of this world will become less improtant and God can be in the front of my mind. Soon i shall put up some of the magical memories made on the 07 Winter Retreat.

Teen CBS

Our weekly teen bible study has been such an amazing place. Every week; I grow closer to my core group, we laugh harder at dinner, and learn more about our savior. The time spent at Calvary has been a blessing. Although the past weeks were great this one was remarkable. We heard a really heartfelt testimony, we sang great songs, and the things we talked about in core group were really straight forward.
The testimony really spoke to my heart. The speaker was very honest and on fire for the way God changed him at Summit Lake. I was really moved to hear how someone I thought had always been close to the Lord his whole life, had struggled too. The way God moved him to completely surrender was awesome. After hearing that testimony we worshiped God. I reflected on my own walk and decided to atop waiting to change and do it now. I'm blessed that God speaks to our own hearts through other people.

The Brithday of 18

On a cold blustery day in January 1989 i was born at 2:30 in the morning. Out of all the cool indoor pool parties and sleepovers to celebrate perivious years this years birthday was by far the coolest yet. These are the events in chronological order at which they occured on the big day.

1. I awoke with Ms. Kimba Maley, Meagahan Yoho, and Lady Donna all in and around my bed. And, to my surprise they brought me cookies and a lovly bagle with butter.
2. I went down to my car to leave for school and the windows were decorated with catch phrases like, "we love you" and "happy 18th." My blue vehical was also filled with ballons and a bunch of really funny birhtday cards filled with poems and inside jokes from Lady and Meg.
3. In first period i found a bag on my desk witha snow globe in it. On each side there was a sweet picture of me and lady and me and Meg.
4. My second period teacher made chocolate brownies for be and another classmate who also shares my special day.
5. In my third period a young man gave ma an uncrustable (AKA the best pb and j under the sun). Then for lunch meg and donna (aka gus and gary) packed me a luch very well decoraded and filled with my favorite snack teates.
6. In forth period gus and gary left my teacher a pair of love socks and two very cool poems coposed by the couple themselves.
7. I had pizza at the Mercers and spent the night at my moms eating the left overs from an amazing icecream cake.

This birthday was full of love and special surprises. I later talked to the Birthday "duo". Donna told me how she was reminded of how christ wants to be in each part of our day and bless us every step of the way. Every class had something kind and personal to do with me. Jesus wants to be envolved personally with me like that everyday. He usually is but i usually miss the blessing. God is so all in life sometimes we can't even see him working and using us. Up top is Michael shortly after we found my sweet ride filled with ballons.

Wedding

Well, my very cool cosin Kristen just wed on January 6th. Eileen and i were brides maids and my aunt was the maid of honor. We had such a good time. My aunt Brenda (aka mother of the bride) made all the flower arrangments and decorated the Walkersvill fire department. It looked amazing she worked so hard for her daughter. I hope, if i have a child, i do something like that for them. Aunt Brenda made the somewhat small budget sensable wedding look fantastic. i want to be that kind of prioritizer. MP, Hampton, and the rest of my family got down to the cha-cha slide. It was awesome!!
