expendability and youth

so, here is the thing about blogging. As someone for whom every hour of the day is a precious commodity, some things have to be cut out to make way for other things, like working, studying, and spending time with the Lord.
Among blogging there are a few other things that have been neglected as of late, they include:
-cleaning my room
-laundry
-playing my guitar
-checking and responding to email
-exercising regularly
-watching tv and movies
-extra-curricular reading
-personal hygiene (just kidding)

also, if you are worried that it is just my blog being neglected, don't worry, because i probably haven't looked at yours either, so it is even.

In other news, the guy who leads worship at my church is recording a CD which is cool, but what is even cooler is that he needed a bunch of voices in the background and one of those voices belongs to yours truly. i went this evening to be a part of that, and now my throat definitely hurts because of all the yelling. i will let you know when that is available for purchase because i am pretty sure i will be getting lots of royalties for that. so anyways, i don't know if y'all know this, but i love to tell stories of when people are surprised by how old that i am. so, i was talking to this really cute energetic girl next to me who has my name. She and her husband just planted a church in Rome and they commute down to Kennesaw for school. She totally asked me if i was in high school or college. i laughed and told her i was in graduate school, then she and her husband tried to guess how old i was. the closest they got was 26 (after quite a few guesses). they were only 21 and they thought i was younger than them!

when i got home i was thinking about why i like for people to think that i look young, and i think that it is because i want to be that old again. something about being close to thirty really freaks me out. i think that if i was 24 and had accomplished all that i have, i would feel better about myself, but i guess i just feel like i should have more under my belt than i really do. so, what i decided is that i am going to pretend like i am 24, then i can feel like i can finish graduate school well before i turn thirty and i will have lots of time to start a family and do all the things that God wants me to do, and i won't have any anxiety about it. that will fix things right?

Unfortunately i was immediately brought back to reality by the 17 emails about my ten year high school reunion. blaaaaaaaaah.
that is a whole blog post in itself.
but it will probably be three months til i write it.
