Vacation is over, time to return to the Island

Hello Everyone,
I am currently back on the Island after a short visit to Vancouver to visit with my Dad. I had a good time there, I got new runners while I was there and my cell being managed to cause some of the alarm systems in the stores to go off. I think that the only alarm system that my cell didn't manage to trigger was the fire alarm at the Zellers location that we first went to to go shopping for shoes. That turned out to be an actual emergency and my Dad and I were forced to go somewhere else to shop. As many can tell, I went shopping on the last day of my visit, before heading to the ferry terminal to go home that night. That's one recent development for my summer so far. Another is that I grad on June 15th with most of my classmates, and college friends. Speaking of college, I met a student that was in my class at Mayfair just yesterday, and I have made arrangements to meet another student and friend of mine, sometime on Monday ( these students are two different people ).
Got to go and eat dinner now,
Your Friend,
Lindsay

Sorry for the pause in posting

Hello Everyone,
Sorry about the pause between up-dates. I just haven't had a whole lot of time to up-date both of my blogs. Things have been going well for me since my last up-date on here. I recently spent some long awaited time with two of my best friends, Katelyn and Amie. I got to hang out with Katelyn last Saturday. We had a lot of fun going to Maria Souvlaki for lunch, going to the Starbucks in Safeway for coffee and I ended up being invited to go to her house where I ate dinner with Katie and her family, and after myself and Katie watched "Crossroads". I went home at 9pm that night. I almost forgot, I got a chance to see one of my classmates on Sunday. This classmate's name is Amanda and she told me on Friday during school that she was going to be at the church for the service on Sunday. This was funny because we both know Greg Hind, we also both know Pastor Andrew, Greg knows that we were at school together, however, Pastor Andrew does not know that fact about us. I met Amanda in September, when we first started our programs. Now the school year has finished for the summer, so I don't think that I'll see Amanda until June, when we grad from the college. Thanks Ninja, you freaked Amanda out when you jumped down the stairs and over her last Sunday. Well, that was last weekend, and it's on to last night, and a description of my long awaited time with Amie. As I listed above, Amie slept over at my house last night, and we had a lot of fun. At one point, we went to Thrifty's, where we bought bulk candy and pop ( Orange pop, fruit cocktail, and chocolate covered almonds). Anyway, Were filling one of the bags and I couldn't see how full it was, so we ended up with allot of that kind of candy. Other than that, since Katelyn let me borrow "Crossroads" until the next time I see her, Amie and I watched the movie last night. Last night I also figured out that the speakers that came with my old disc man, also fit my MP3 player, so Amie and I listened to some of the songs on it, mainly dancing to the Hamster Dance. Today, we played a game called Skip-bo and listened to music until Amie's mum came to pick her up. I hope you had a good time Amie?? Because I share enjoyed getting to finally spend time with you. School-wise, for me this year when I grad from college, I get two certificates, one for Level One of the program, and the other for Level Two.
That's all for now,
Your Friend,

HAPPY EASTER

Hello There,
Happy Easter Everyone. Just wanted to up-date and let everyone know that things aren't going too well for me right now. In fact, things got a lot worse last Sunday when I had an out burst and went to the hospital via cop car. Well, the good thing was that I got released from the hospital that night, and now I am on medication to keep me calm and to help me sleep. I'm going to counselling through school as well, and am planning to go for as long as it takes me to get back to the way I was before. Plus, I do find that it helps to have someone to talk to that you don't know as well as those you find that you can confide in easier. As for me, well myself and my family are all hoping that things get back to normal soon.
That's all for now.
Lindsay

*SIGH*

Hey There,
As many know now, things aren't going to well for me. I do have to say that I'm looking forward to Cassie's birthday party tomorrow after noon. There's only one problem, I can't talk to 2 of 4 people that are going to be there ( I am forbidden to have any contact what so ever with Jerusha and Ted {Ninja} ), ah well. Even then, and I hope that no-one cares about this; I guess I have a big mouth when it comes to telling people about the STUPID things that I do, because my instructor whose name is David and a helper in the class whoose name is Jaquie both know about what I did a few months ago, and I told them what happened last Sunday, as well. Telling them was the only way that I thought that I could get help, and I have help now, thanks to Jaquie, who walked with me to see if we could get in to see a counsellor while I was at school that day. I have a total of 3 weekly appointments with the school counsellor now, and my mum is setting counselling up for me for as long as I need it after my school year ends ( April 20th ).
That's about it for now,
Until next Friday,
Your Friend,
Lindsay

I have to keep this up, Fridays seem good to do up-dates on

Hello There,
I was just wondering through some of the blogs that I know the addresses to. I wanted to copy something down off of a comment that I came across on one of Jerusha's posts, on her blog, I thought that part of the comment was powerful, so I went hunting for where I had seen it. I've found and copied it down now, and intend to use it to help a friend of mine feel better. Even though I have no self-esteem what so ever, ah well, who cares, 'cause I don't. I also don't really care about the fact that I've been feeling really stupid lately, myself. That's why I'm sometimes glad that I am lucky to have people that I can talk to about most things. I know at least two people that are going to get mad at me because of how I feel right now, but there's nothing that they can do to change the way I feel, at least for now. As for that comment, well, you'll all find it under the post created by "The Evil Twin Jerusha". There's nothing else that I can add to that first part of this post, so I'll leave it for now. As for that strained tendon in my elbow, it has been healing fairly quickly over the past few days, and I'm happy to tell everyone who knows about it, especially those who have prayed, or are still praying for it, that I no longer need to wear the bandage for most things ( except while working on the dough presser, and while sleeping ). Thank you so much for the prayers for this. A "Happy Birthday" goes out to Cassandra and Kyle E. whose birthdays are on March 28th (this Wednesday), Hope you two have a good day!! I'm starting to find that making beaded lizards is a big help in relieving some of the stress caused by the problems that I am having to deal with right now, this is a great thing for me, because they are actually really easy to make.
Another post will appear next Friday,
Your Friend,

Just had the feeling to up-date my blog. No particular reason at all, really (Blue and Green go nice together).

Hey There,
Hoping things are going good for everyone. Nothing has really changed from the post on Friday. I think I'm just going to start posting every Friday night, since I've now got nothing else better to do. That's a good thing, because now I don't feel so physically warn-out and tired anymore, and I don't need to go buy carbonated sugar water, like I did every Friday night before I came to 6:30 prayer and Youth. Sometimes I feel like I should just quit going to that church altogether (this includes the SpyCell's that I am sometimes seen at, and Young Adults, which I haven't been seen at over the past month, Sorry people, maybe you'll all see me on the march 29th meeting!!). Anyway, I am going to be planning for another "change in appearance" sometime soon, I hope. None more said on that subject, HEHE!! There is one thing that I'd like to post about. Does anyone remember the card Jerusha and I were getting people to sign for Ted?? Anyway, I'd like to tell everyone who signed it that it was presented to Ted today just after he got to the church for the Prayer Cell, and I'd like to thank Pastor Andrew, Mrs. Hicks, Josh, Matt S. (Werner's brother), Werner, Laura, Shannon, Jon, Kory, Jarred, and Jerusha, as well as others to whom I haven't mentioned because I can't remember who all signed that card. All I can tell you all is that the Ninja was so happy when he saw the signatures, that it looked like he was going to cry, even though he was laughing at what everyone wrote to him. We did well, Didn't we Ninja?? I just hope that you appreciate it, I really do. Thank you for being such a wonderful friend to Jerusha and I. I kept a list of the people signing the card, just so that I could say "Thank You" to them on here. As for my elbow, it seems to be healing, though rather slowly. Hey, come check out my new blog, that will also be up-dated every week with experiences that I have at college, here on the Island.
Anyway, another post will appear on Friday, and as for that mentioned "change of appearance", well, I can't tell you when that will happen.
Your Friend,
Lindsay

Posting every two weeks from now on, a post in the colours of Red and Purple

Hello There,
Well, nothings really changed since the post dedication I did a week ago. Can't say "nothings changed", as I found out that I have strained some of the tendons in my right elbow, while working with the dough stamper machine at the bakery, OUCH!!!!!! I hate being right handed sometimes, and when I don't get pain killers I feel like I need to cut off my arm and re-attach it without my elbow. Other than that, I had a good week.

As for the two friends who had the streak of not fighting. That streak ended fairly quickly. I shouldn't count their last fight, as the problem was solved (I hope). I don't know what to do anymore, I want to talk to an adult I know, to ask advice on what I should do when these friends fight. Unfortunately, these two friends of mine won't let me go to talk to the person that I want to ask advice from. I am extremely frustrated when it comes to this subject, and am thinking of just going to the person to tell them what's been going on, and ask for the advice anyway. I know that my friends won't like that, but WHY IN HECK SHOULD I HAVE TO KEEP THEIR STUPID FIGHTS A SECRET?!?! I don't know what to do anymore, so if you have any suggestions, please leave them as a comment, Thank you. I'm thinking about up-dating my blog, here every two weeks, Just to post on how I am and have been doing.
Another post is to appear soon,
Your Friend,
Lindsay

An Untitled post in the colours of Blue and Green and containing another Post Dedication

Hello There,
Nothing has changed since the last post, Whoops! I almost forgot the rumoured "streaking" of my hair has been done; I am now a red head with strawberry blond streaks (some who may have seen may disagree), and I am so excited to show everyone I come into contact with my new "change in appearance". I'm doing really well, school is going good right now and the friends that I mentioned in a couple of my earlier posts have got a streak of not fighting going, which is a really great thing. It keeps me from having to take my anger out on the trays I scrape and wipe as one of my duties at the bakery, though I can't hurt these so I guess it's OK either way. Mainly, because taking anger out on trays that I can't hurt helps me just as much as trying not to get stuck in the middle of everything between my two friends (when they fight).

I got a good idea to re-do and add to the first blog dedication that I did just about under a few months ago, and I put this idea through to Jerusha, she agreed with the fact that I should o it again. Well, I did tell her that I'd post a copy for her while she was at Youth, and well, Here it is!!

POST DEDICATION

Amie Locke - Thoughtfulness

Pastor Andrew Evans - Caring

Ms. Caroline Morris - Empathetic Listener

Cassandra Denovan - Kindness

Greg Hind - Happiness

Jen McMillan - Compassion

Jerusha Smith - Love

Katelyn Wilson - Joyfulness

Kim Hicks - Enthusiastic

Nelia Evans - Hard-Working

Reuben Kramer - Friendship

Sarah Brouwer - Self-Motivated

Sarah Stanyer (Vancouver) - Tactfulness

Ted (The LazyNinja) - Forgiveness

And Werner Schmidt - Warm-Hearted

As you all can see, nothing has really changed from the last one I did, except that my sister is no longer on the list, and Ms. Morris (an old high school teacher of mine, and many people I know from Parkland) and Ninja have both been added to the list of people. Thanks again Jerusha, hope you and everyone else who sees the post likes the virtues that are beside their names. I hope to do one of these again sometime soon, 'cause it reminds two friends of mine that THEY ARE NOT STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and you know who you both are. I had to put that because I know that I'll get into trouble by both people for it. I was supposed to post most of the stuff before the dedication yesterday, but owing to going out and being at work experience all day, I completely forgot to do so.

Another post will come soon,

I promise Werner that almost everytime, and it very rarely ever gets done, ah well,

Your Friend,

Lindsay

Nothing's changed from the last post

Hello There,
Nothing has changed from the last time I posted. School is going great right now. Tomorrow I find out whether my work experience contract has been extended or not. As for the two friend fights, well they have stopped for a while, at least, which is a great thing. I'm looking forward to the next couple of days, on account that my mum told me a few days ago that she would streak my hair if I was behaved, and she's going to follow through with it on either tomorrow night, or Tuesday night. Yes!! So EXCITED!!!!. Anyway, as to the colour that parts of my hair are going, well, I'd rather keep that a secret just for now.
Another up-date is coming soon,
Your Friend,
Lindsay

Thing's are going good for me right now

Hello There,
Sorry for the long pause in between my up-dates. I have had no time to do so for the longest while.

Anyway, things have been going really good for me. So let's start with the bad news first. It has to do with two people I know from school who won't stop fighting. I feel stupid, because every time I try and help, I manage to screw things so that they become even worse then they already are.

On happier notes, I got to see Ms. Morris's new puppy, Elessy ( in need of asking Ms. Morris exactly how to spell that, and as for saying the name, that was for Jerusha ). That was cool, and I had a great time finding out how she had been doing since the last time I saw her. ( I ran into her on Wednesday, rather randomly and very unexpectedly, while walking past the Blue Heron East Trail Entrance, on my way to meet a friend. ) On another happy note, I managed to make it to my 20th birthday, which was the Tuesday before the one that just passed. Being so busy that week I didn't manage to get a chance to do anything with any of my friends until the Sunday after it. I took Jerusha, Ted, and Katie Wilson out for dinner early that night, and myself, Jerusha and Ted proceeded to the church for the Leadership Development meeting, held that night, while Katie went home. A good time was had by all who went.

On other notes, School is going really well for me, and I have managed to complete another full contract of work experience ( at Lunn's Bakery here in Sidney ). I loved it there, so I have asked to extend my contract to the end of April, which, unfortunately, is when I finish the course.

The random part of the things listed on here was for the LazyNinja. Thanks Ted!!,

Another up-date is to come soon, I promise you that, Werner,
But until then,
Well, You are all just going to have to wait,
Lindsay

Another Up-date

Hey There,
Things are going well, right now. School has started up again, and I'm looking forward to what this semester has to bring. I had a great time visiting family over New Years, a nice little vacation from Island life, as I like to call it. Vancouver went well, I had fun relaxing for the days I was there, and thinking about what I was helping deal with over Msn, at the time. Life is sweet!!!! Work experience for this course may be taking place at Lunn's Bakery in Sidney. I have to hand it to a friend of mine, he made my Vancouver trip a whole lot easier, and I am very grateful to have him around. Thanks Ted.
Another up-date should be on the way soon,
Lindsay

Random Update

Hey There, Christmas is coming again and to tell the truth, I'm quite looking forward to it after seeing the parade last Sunday night. As most know, I am partakiing in the making of scarves for the homeless people in Downtown, Victoria. My scarf is getting longer and longer by the day, deppending on how long I get to work on it each day. I am looking forward to the next knitting party.

I titled it the way it should fit.

Has anyone ever wanted to make someone cry?? I'm only wondering, no-one has to tell me if they don't want to. This has been on my heart for a while because I am trying to a friend of mine cry by doing something nice for her at this time of year, only because it is going to be Christmas soon, and her birthday is shortly after that. I just hope that Ms. Morris is surprised to see what the thing is that I'm giving her. HEHE!!

See, I told you all I titled it properly.

I have been having some fun over the last few weeks, what with the snowfall in November, finishing off my work experience at Smitty's soon (3 days to go), and with many cool things I gt to go to with the Youth ( looking forward to the movie on Friday). I will be at the mall already that day so there is no need to worry about me that day.

After that women's potluck today, goodbye getting to sleep tonight, until about 1am, not a usual for me at all.
Anyway, Peace be with you all,
Lindsay

Thinking about my life right now, a post in the colours blue and purple

Hey There, I know I haven't really written a new post on this for a few days, nor have I got the chance to look at anyone else's blogs over the past few days. I'm "Thinking about my life right now". I guess I could just talk about some experiences that I have had while at my work experience at Smitty's. I can't phrase anything that I wanted to say on this post; maybe I should just tell the person (no, I haven't had another vision). I don't know. I can say that I did learn something on Friday night at Youth, I just don't know why Reuben's "teacing night" had such a big affect on my heart, or why I can't get his sermon out of my head, and another thing, I can't figure out what it is that I did learn that night. Thanks Reuben, your sermon was fantastic!!!! Haapy Birthday to those people that I know (Sarah DeGroot, Adison Norman,Ted, and Sarah Brouwer). I looked on the spy phone list just to see who was in November, and I ran into Cory and Ted earlier tonight on my way home from Subway with dinner for me and my sister (that's how I found out about Ted's birthday). I was looking at videos on YouTube over the past week, and I came across a video by Britney Spears called "Someday(I will Understand). I can't really relate it to being Christian, I just thought that it was really cool because most of the video for it takes place in a church, and most of the lyrics speak of God. If you would like to, got to YouTube and check that video out for yourselves.
Anyway, Peace be with you all,
Lindsay

An up-date in Christmas colours (except blue)

Hey There,
Nothing is really new for me this time around. I start my work experience for school at Smitty's restaurant here in Sidney, tomorrow morning at 9am, other than that nothing's changed. I'm having a good almost end of a good week. My timetable for school is all screwy because of the work expierence I now do, oh well. Earlier this week I was looking at the different blogs that I know the addresses to, and upon looking at Reuben's blog "Livin' the Flippin' Dream", I found something really, oh, I don't know what the word is. I've got no time to explain why the last post Reuben did was so cool, I guess that I could just say that it made me think about different things not wanting to share, but I'm sure I'll be sharing later. Thanks Reuben (I'll have to give you the address when I see you next)!! Now, I know I've said that I would do a post dedication to all the people who have shown soooooo much support to me (before Sarah had her accident), so here it is.

Post Dedication

Amie Locke - Thoughtfulness

Pastor Andrew Evans - Caring

Cassandra Denovan - Kindness

Greg Hind - Happiness

Jen McMillan - Compassion

Jerusha Smith - Love
Katelyn Wilson - Joyfulness
Kim Hicks - Enthusiasm

Liz Marsall (Sister) - Empathetic Listener
Nelia Evans - Hard-Working
Reuben Kramer - Friendship
Sarah Brouwer - Self-Motivated
Sarah Stanyer (Vancouver) - Tactful
And last, but certainly not least is...Werner Schmidt - Warm-Hearted

I do have to add that I did the list of names in alphabetical order by first name, not last. Anyway, Smitty's (work experience) is going good, I did manage to peel my right thumb twice now, but that's ok, I don't really care when I cut myself; half the time I don't even notice until later in the day, anyway. I have started my second out six weeks there. School is also going well, I have been having a lot of fun since I started in September.

That's all for now,

Have a great Friday night (should be wonderful), a great weekend, and

Peace be with you all in this hard time,
Lindsay

Up-dating my Blog

Hey There, I wasn't completely sure what I should call this, I'm just up-dating my blog mainly because I'm bored at the moment and haven't up-dated in the last few days. Anyway, my week has been going good. Today I had an interview for a school work experience, I start Thursday November 9, 2006 at Smitty's restaurant in Sidney, I'm doing well in my classes, I went to Mayfair Mall Foodcourt at the end of last week (Friday, as a school fieldtrip)and there's not really much more that I can remember right now. The only real bad thing that's had an affect on my attitude was Sarah Brouwer's car accident, "Hope that you feel better soon, my friend". I am hoping that I will be able to go to visit Ms. Morris at the end of the month, sometime. It should be a fun day when it happens. I will add the day at Stelly's to one of my posts coming later on this month. I had also planned to do a dedication to those people who have showed their support to me for reasons I'm not going to share right now. Thank you Amie for the prayers you have for everyone I have told you about. I think it's really cool that you decide to pray for the people I tell you about.
Anyway, I just wanted to up-date my blog (as I said at the beginning of this post) and I'll see the people who know about my blog over the next few days,
Peace be with you all during this hard time,
Lindsay

Who else knows my blog address?

Hello, How is everyone who knows about my blog and the address to it. I was just just on the Internet tonight and decided to go and check if anyone commented, when I stumbled on a comment about the way I write from Werner. I wish that I could say more, but, unfortunately I haven't had my trip to Stelly's to visit Ms. Morris; This doesn't happen until Wednesday afternoon. Again thanks for the comment,Werner. I am hoping that others find out about my blog soon. So far Werner, Sarah B., and Pastor Andrew, and Jerusha have found my blog and Ms. Hicks knows but doesn't have the address to it, quite yet. As everyone who has found my blog knows that I was supposed to go to Stelly's today (Wednesday),and did. Unfortunately, when I got to the school, Ms. Morris had already left for home so I was unable to see her. I'm alright, I'll just try to go to Stelly's at the end of the month, to see if I can find her then. All in all, I'm having a great week. It would be soooo funny if Ms. Morris was the one teaching the people in my class the Superhost certification tomorrow, I would probably scream because I was never told, Even then, I have to do Pizza Day at school tomorrow. I want to say thanks to everyone who has offered their support and prayer to and for me since my blog has been up and running, and even before that!! I really appreciate it. The Bonfire was a blast, I had a lot of fun while I was there, and the best thing that happened was that I didn't have to talk to anyone about a specific vision I had, the frusteration about it was driven right out of my head.
I'll see everyone within the next two days,
Lindsay

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Hey There, HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO EVERYONE Who reads this blog!! Right now I'm doing some things to get me ready for Halloween, like painting my nails red and pink, shopping for a mask, wig and crown, tearing that old Queen of Hearts dress I've been wearing for the last couple of years. That's right, I'm going as a un-dead Queen of Hearts this year ( un-dead=a zombie )!! I've had something on my heart for such a long time, and I'm hoping that someone can help me. Not many people know about that experience that happened to me while I was at Ignition, and not many people know about the vision that I had of Sarah Brouwer. Yes, I had an experience that I didn't feel like going to the mosh pit for at Ignition. I only said that because I'm finding that I can open up more on here for some reason; As for the vision, I really don't know what to say, the same thing happened as in the other two. I am so thankful for everyone who has helped me tell the people who I had the visions of. I am ecspecially thankful for Amie, Jerusha, Ms. Morris, Mrs. Hicks, Pastor Andrew, Reuben and many others who have given me advice. Thank you Pastor Andrew, I have what you told me in my heart and I will remember it forever, I hope. If I ever do choose to believe in Christ, Pastor Andrew, you will be one of the first people to hear about it. Hey, I still get frusterated when I have visions, I will admit that, but I know that I have a lot of people around me that can help me out with trying to figure out meanings. Thanks everyone. I would like to share my experience at Stelly's a few weeks ago, I think I will. It was so funny, Ms. Morris thought that I was a parent coming to visit her wondering why she hadn't given their student an "A" on an assignment. Anyway, I guess after getting paged and calling the office to see who it actually was, she decided to go there and that was when her guess about the parent was wrong, because just before she entered the office, I stepped out of the doorway to greet her. Ms. Morris was so surprised to see me that she flipped out when she did, and told me that next time I get the chance to visit the school, either call the office or email me. I said I would and about a couple of weeks after, I emailed and told her how I was doing, how school has been going, told her how Jerusha was doing, and how she's been doing in school, and about three days later I received an email from Ms. Morris telling me how she was doing. I replied to her and still haven't had an email from her, I'm hoping she got my second email, because then she would be for-warned of my coming visit to Stelly's on Wednesday afternoon. My experience at Stelly's for the second time this year, will be in the next post thingy I do.
Got to go,
Lindsay

Hello and Welcome

Hello and Welcome, I hope the people who read this are doing good. This is my first time ever having a blog, and I'm quite enjoying it. My weeks at school have been going well, and if the software for my digital camera would work on my computer, I will try to post pictures of some of the recent experiences ( dressing up for Halloween being one big thing ). So many experiences I can't share with anyone, or on here, or Msn. Anyway, there is something on my heart that I would like to admit, and coming from a non-believer, I'd think that what I'm about write was a little weird, I don't know. Over the last few days I've been frusterated, and usually ( if someone notices ) I'll tell someone about, but for some reason I can't seem to find the words to say it to anyone I know. I hope that I can one day tell the person that I had a vision of them ( names not mentioned ). Only those who I know and trust, and that I have strong reliability in not to talk to others about it, know who that person is. If anyone is asking on their blogspot what different people are thankful for. Well, here's my answer, I'm thankful for all of my family, friends, and all of the people who I've had the chance to meet over the last few years. One experience, which I'll be adding to my next entry is my afternoon at Stelly's.
Well, I have to go for now,
Hoping to up-date my blog soon,
Lindsay
