Prayer Request

ok....for all you who read this forsaken little blog.....Please pray as hard as possible for John Klobe's dad. They just found out that he does in fact have Lymphoma, which is cancer of the lymph nodes. So.....we need to storm Heaven, and get everyone we know to help us intercede for John and his dad and family. Thanks so much and i'll try and update again soon!

Overwhelmed?

Are you kidding? I go to Ave Maria College! One does not get overwhelmed there. What? you haven't heard of it??? well....you're not really alone. see those other people over there in darkness? they haven't heard about it either. why am i rambling on?? well, SOMEONE has to do the dirty work......"whatever, I went to college"....

A Tribute, Part 1: Ave

Dear readers, in the past few weeks a subject constantly on my mind has been my beloved Ave. clarification: NOT the hellhole that i reside in currently. No, the REAL Ave Maria College. that wonderful institution that brought so many awesome people together and crammed them into the fishbowl of Ypsitucky. that beloved place where endless good times, laughter, insanity, smokers, and freaks all combined to make it what it was. maybe it was just an ideal, a figment of all of our imaginations. yep, i think i'll go with that. it's easier.:-) anywho, just so that i don't get too serious on you, i'm gonna stop now and let you enjoy the visual feast below.

these are the GOOD times to remember....speaking of which....i had a dream. i know i know....you're excited and of course i'm gonna tell you ALL about it. it was wonderful. it started out with me going to EMU's cafeteria (ohh...the memories!) and all of a sudden i saw the 2 Nicas that i was in Austria with, so i got really excited and went to go say Hi and catch up with them. and then all of a sudden i was looking into the gym and there was all the Ave people who have gone down to florida over the years and they were playing Red Rover. (my favorite childhood game) and i got REALLY excited then and ran to say hi to Dags and Abigail and Marissa and Ann Gagnier and everyone! it was AWESOME!!!! and then, all of a sudden it was like i was surrounded by Ave: Past and Present....everyone who had ever gone to Ave before was surrounding me and i was SO...... Content. and then i woke up to a full day of classes and a paper that's due tomorrow night and not nearly even started. but the memory of that dream.....MAN! is gonna carry a long time in me. anywho, it was very weird, but completely awesome. Good Luck on your papers!!!!

Just call me Joanie!

well, so i know i haven't updated in awhile.....oops. ya'll just need to get used to it though, but thanks for the "friendly" threats. :-) anywho....let's see what i've been up to since i last wrote....oh yes, THE FORMAL!!! (please see above) more pictures soon, i promise, as soon as ms. laina gets them uploaded to her webpage. oh my word!!! what can i say to describe how marvelous it was??? let's just say that it was very worthy of a senior formal....i LOVED it!
anywho, on to other news.....life after the formal is blissfully stressful. but at least it's the right kind of stress(school) rather than the wrong kind(everything else). ok, so i'm completely having a brain fart right now and can't think of anything interesting to say!!! arrghh!! how frustrating! fun news....matt ryan is back in town for the weekend and joe bambenek just had a birthday yesterday and easter is only a week and 2 days away and i get to see Les Miserables on Sunday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! gee, i hope that's enough excitement for you. "i'm hysterical! i'm hysterical!.....I'M WET! i'm wet and hysterical!"- for those of you who know what i'm talking about. for the rest of you....too bad. you should watch more TV. ok, i'm outie! actually one more thing.....could you all send HUGE prayers my way?? the next few weeks promise to be HIGHLY stressful school and life-wise. gee thanks!

FINE. HERE YOU GO!

There you go. Happy St. Patty's Day to ye all!!! May the Luck O' the Irish be with all of ye!
Craic! ~ mona:-)

A Moment...

Dear world,
on behalf of me, a sort of copycat-wannabe-A-xi-s member, this happy land of Blue Glasses will devote a moment of Silence to our Dearly Departed: Slobadon Milosovich, who died today at the Age of 64. *tear tear* All i can say is......may God bless him!

Please see this for more info on his life and death.:-) :-) :-)

Coming up: a REAL LIFE POST about me!(what else were you expecting??) and all the happenings in my life thus far since the last post (i know, it can't get any better than this!) So...the moral of the story is---------------------------->>>>>> KEEP YOUR EYES PEELED!!!

outie!!-me

Spring Break: Good Friends: Laughter: Sunny Days

I love laughing. and yes....i'm starting to copycat corwin with the title format because he's just so cool. anywho, this is the first REAL official starting day of Spring Break. (GYIOOO!!!!) i get so excited!!! The Weez came over last night and so did the little Tree, and we had a blast and stayed up WAAAY too late. i think it was close to 5:30am before Weez and i said goodnight, and then it was about 6 or 6:30 when i was finally able to drift off into oblivion. however, today was WONDERMUS!!!! we woke up when we felt like it and then hung around, worked out, showered and went to lunch at Cadys. (btw, they have *excellent* burgers....highly recommend)

some thoughts i had this week and weekend....

1). no matter how bad things can get in your mind....friends, real laughter, and good times can show you that it's only that bad....in your mind.

2). even though there has been ALOT of shit that i've had to experience in the last 4 years, and especially in the last year.....i wouldn't trade this experience for a palace. and, if i had the option, i would do it all over the same way, because of who i am today. So thank you to all for your help getting me here!

3). in the last week i've learned: that it doesn't matter what you're GPA is, or if someone's life appears to be better than yours, or the incessant squabbling over insignificant pennies....but ultimately what matters is, at the end of the day, if you are right with God. and sure, there will be things that you could've done differently, better, or whatever, but you just need to sum it all up and move on from there and learn from it.

4). and now for a lighter note....laughter really is the best medicine. and...."whoever said money can't buy happiness....doesn't know where to shop."

I LOVE SUNNY DAYS!!!! you just feel like you're on top of the world!

so, the moral of the story is....laugh really hard and you might be blessed with nice abs, if you're having a bad day, go into the bathroom and look in the mirror and say...."GYIOOOOO!!!" - trust me, you'll feel better. and whatever you do.....DO NOT LET ANYONE PICK. YOUR. NOSE. it really is not pleasant.* :-)

*uhh....this example is purely such....just an example....the author has absolutely no experience with it, and is going on solely what she hears on the weez-a-radio.
