hey look...

More mushy gushy stuff about how BASE is great and blah blah blah...

Ok, Kendra... I had totally forgotten about smunk, but now that you've reminded me, I'm going to deliberately find ways to incorporate that amazing word (and it's context) into my everyday vocabulary. Starting now...

hey girls, I feel all smunky. You know why? Well, today, I received the list of the people who are going to live on BASE this year. Don't get me wrong, I am very, very excited, but my excitement was suddenly replaced with anxiety, fear, nostalgia and finally, hunger. So then I ate a fried banana with some honey (smelled smunky good) that my mom conjured up, as if sensing that her offspring was in need of sustenance.

anyways, where was i? oh yeah... the realization that I am going to be the RA...not Erin. And I realized how weird that is. I'm sure that the new girls of BASE will be great, but really, the comraderie (Carissa help, I can't spell) that we had last year is irreplaceable. I know deep down that I cannot recreate something that came so naturally.

Ultimately all this anxiety is pointing in one direction: up. Once again I'm reminded that I certainly cannot depend on myself, but I have to depend and fully rely on God, otherwise, I am going to lose it. I am so nervous and sad and happy and excited. If it wasn't for the LORD and for prayer, I would be torn apart by all these emotions that I'm feeling. My mind is reeling from the profusion of emotional stimuli.

Anyway, a BASE reunion is due...and soon.

Also, can someone get somebody to post our beloved quotebook?

toodles,
Linell

oh yay, more posting!

'so anyway'... the other day i wanted to share this article with somebody and i thought of our floor folder. i may as well do it here. so there was this article in the LA Times on saturday, written by the former religion reporter. it's pretty sad - sad for him, because he missed the point; and sad for christians everywhere, because so many who claim to be christians aren't very much like Christ at all. and now this guy is pretty lost. so yeah, you should read it. it's interesting.

hey, are any of you going to elise's soiree on august 4? i'd like to go, but i don't think i'll have a car, so... does anybody want to carpool?

the other day i caught myself pushing up my glasses when i wasn't wearing any again. :[ and then the next day my glasses broke. :[ :[ :[ i thought i'd share.

mmmmmkaybye.

Alright.

I just realized I've been missing out on a lot of Bubbs goodness. Oh man. Sad story. It really makes me laugh that Webby still reads the folder. I also just realized ( for about the hundredth time) how much I'm going to miss Base. We had such a great community. I'm so thankful for the way that the Lord put us together. I think it was amazing how much we all loved each other and encouraged each other. I don't want to be done with Biola. Nooo! I gotta get me a minor. Haha. Sorry I'm not the best being away friend. I have good intentions, but rarely do I follow through with them. So know that I'm thinking about and praying for you all and still love you from the bottom of my foot.

I like the LovingRoom name. Or maybe we should just call it the PrayerRoom.

Smunk.

hello.

yessss. i'm in. hopefully we can get something substantial up on this thang.

okay, it's here.

the BASE lovingroom is online, i guess. now...

where is the quote book? somebody has to start posting that thing up.

also, linell, if you still think "thelovingroom" is too weird of a subdomain, we can change it... but personally i enjoy the vagueness of it all.
