Dreams are BIZARRE

I had a bizarre dream last night...haha guess you could have figured that out for yourself cause of the title. :P

So umm...you know that stuff that happens after prom? Not post-prom...you know the typical movie stuff? Ok well I'll just say it...how everyone goes and sleeps together?? Well that's what my dream was about. Except...instead of kids going to hotels, the school had accomodations. Like the school knew everyone would go out and DO IT so they decided to let the kids stay in the school so the school could make a profit from it.

My date was Edward Cullen. BIZARRE RIGHT???? Uh huh...well it didn't seem weird in the dream or anything...it's just what it was. So we got to the school, walked in the doors by the bus circle and the administrators were there. We got assigned a classroom and then got escorted there. When we walked in there was a huge bed there and like soft music playing in the background...

And like, in the dream, this was totally normal. Dreams are bizarre...

So we laid down on the bed and started thumb wrestling...like we were just laying there next to each other and thumb wrestling. And then the principal pokes her head in the door and says, "How are you two doing?" like checking up on us or something...WEIRD WEIRD WEIRD. But I said, "Oh we're fine...we're just thumb wrestling" and she was like UH HUH and then walked away.

Then Edward kissed me and I stopped him and I was like, "You know...I don't like the way this room looks. If it was a different room fine, but I don't like this room, so we're not gonna do it" and that explanation made total sense to both of us and so we just thumb wrestled for awhile and then I woke up.

HOW BIZARRE IS THAT?????

What is my dream trying to TELL me?? That I like Edward Cullen? WRONG! His abs are nowhere near as good as Jacob's...hehe. ;D

So I told my family about my dream at breakfast...well at the beginning I looked at mom and dad (dad was over cause we're doing lawn work today) and said "You know what happens AFTER prom...?" and they both understood so I went on with the story...Josh and Sanya didn't really understand what was going on.

Haha but after I was done, dad was like, "I don't like this Edward Cullen...YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GO SEE ECLIPSE WHEN IT COMES OUT!!!!" It was really funny... :]

So that was my bizarre dream...YEAH.

Breakthrough

I just had a major breakthrough and I thought I should share wisdom with everybody...are you ready for this? Ok...breakthrough time...

Life. Is. Complicated.

You're welcome...

"Trust the Unseen..."

So I gotta admit...me and the sideroom...yeah...we never actually went to war yesterday...after my victory over my room I was completely exhausted, and so the the sideroom and I decided to postpone the war...WHICH MEANT WE BATTLED IT OUT TODAY!!! Well to be more accurate we're BATTLING...it's still going on...so I REALLY shouldn't be taking a break, but my army needs some rest...haha!

I have been finding so much STUFF! Like GOOD stuff! I found a ton of Cara's novels/novellas and I found an old love letter from David and I found a little journal I had and pictures from when I was really little and just tons of STUFF. But what I just found...haha, half of you reading this will think I'm insane but Cara and Jess? You better remember this... ;D

Disclaimer: I was in 8th grade when I wrote this...it's a little silly and overdramatic but it brings back SO many memories from that year!

Prologue: Heaven Dims
Wind howled through the night, carrying a scent that would change the world forever. The sorcerer, hidden in the shadows of the night, lifted his hand and uttered a silent word. An evil smile crossed his face as he turned his head towards they sky.

Summoning the power that was inside him, he raised his hands to the heavens and commanded all that was in it. Clouds above took their true shape and tormented the sky with torrents of lightning. With dark magic weighing heavily on his snake-like tongue, he whispered icily, "Firengar!"

In that instant, the blackness above exploded into a million pieces, all of which were controlled by the sinful magician. He held them all within his power, drawing them together in one quick movement of his now blazing hand. Wickedness seeped from his heart, sin distorted his features. His arms struggled with the pressure and he knew that the time had come. With one final breath, he let the black magic consume his body. The world became pitch-black for a moment...all was still.

In a sudden fracture of light, fire rushed from the ends of the earth and into the palms of darkness. The devilish conjurer once again took control of his body, slowly raised his arms up, and then brought them crashing to his side. The sky above split open, swallowing the fire that was released from his palms. The atmosphere burst into flame, leaving the possessed man consumed in white hell. He suspended time, and then released everything.

The sky quieted, black smog became clouds, and the sorcerer silently smiled to himself. He rapidly vanished, leaving behind a thin wisp of smoke...

Trust the unseen...

Oh that was awesome to see again...I was so proud of that little prolouge. :] I think I wrote three more chapters after that but I couldn't get the story to work so I gave up on it. Ahh...8th grade... ;D

From God to me

Dear one of Mine,
I see that you need encouragement today. I actually see you every day, all day. I'm the One who watches over you and even planned your birth a long time before I made the earth or Milky Way. I couldn't wait to see you born and to see your life unfold. I love you SO MUCH and have since before anything existed. I've poured out My love on you from heaven above and earth below. I've poured out My love from a manger and down form a cross. Both today's enjoyments and today's difficulties on earth are real, but they are both temporary. Your forever rejoicing will come soon---when I do. Until then, know that you are loved, and let that love fill you with peace this very day. I'm here for you now and always.
Your Savior and Shepherd,
JESUS

This was on a card a very close friend sent to me and I really loved it...

"I am with you always." Matthew 28:20

...mull???

So I was looking through my Favorites list and found the link to the personality stuff and I thought I'd look over that again...just cause it's kinda interesting and also cause I might learn some more stuff about myself that could be helpful. Here's the stuff that really stuck out to me:

• They value security and stability
• They are hurt by indifference and don't understand unkindness
• ESFJs are such caring individuals, that they sometimes have a hard time seeing or accepting a difficult truth about someone they care about
• All ESFJs have a natural tendency to want to control their environment
• Put forth a lot of effort to fulfill their duties and obligations
• Extreme dislike of conflict and criticism
• Don't pay enough attention to their own needs, and may be self-sacrificing
• Have difficulty accepting negative things about people close to them
• ESFJs are usually stable, certain, reliable and caring in their approach to life, but if unbalanced they are likely to treat any point of view other than their own with a kind of amused indifference or a tendency to keep those with differing attitudes and opinions at a distance
• Enjoy creating order, structure and schedules

It's interesting to read about yourself...especially if you see something that you never thought about but now that you read it you realize it's true.

Huh...just stuff for me to mull over.

P.S. Is "mull" a word??? ;D

Rachel's Book of...POETRY

...guess what I found in the depths of my closet? Hehe!! I did it in 6th grade...so here's a little sneak at what I was like in '05-'06... ;D

This was how I described myself: "RACHEL KUNICKI is a 6th grade student at IVMS on the Jungle Cats. She is involved in hand bells, jazz band, and the 6th grade band. She is also involved in choir, hand bells, and a recorder choir at her church. She loves playing her saxophone, reading, and shopping with her mom. Her favorite types of music are Broadway (The Phantom of the Opera, Aida, and Wicked), and country. She is in Pre-Algebra and Peer Mediation."

Funny...some of that stuff hasn't changed at all... :D

First poem time!!!

I am...
When I'm sitting all alone
I think about everything I am
I am a little lamb
I am tickle me elmo
I am a happy and sad mask
I am a rocket ready to start an adventure
I am my own Michael Phelps
I am a comb ready to untangle anything
I am like hair in the breeze
I am a puppy ready to play
I am a worm in a book
And when I open my eyes
I look in the mirror and think
I am who God wants me to be

I still really like that one. :] Time fo' mo' poetry yo!

My Today Wish List
I wish I was a doctor, so I could heal you when you're sick
I wish I were a big peace blanket that could cover the earth
I wish I were a piece of candy, always bringing a smile to a child's face
I wish I were the key to your journal
I wish I were the flashlight that gave you light during the storm
I wish I were the coat that kept you warm during the winter
I wish I were a photo album, so I could hold all your memories
I wish I were an eraser, always able to erase your mistakes
I wish I were your make-up, so I could always make you feel good about yourself
I wish I were the funny little clown that could always make you laugh

Summer Sensation
Waves tumbling toward the shore
Rushing in, and then softly going out
People surfing until they fall
Then being swept away by the mighty current
Until they are just a speck in a color of blue

Banana Boat Sunscreen drifts into my nose
Children whining while moms dab it on their face
Then running into waves shrieking with laughter
Building sloppy sandcastles with colorful pails
Digging to see who can get to China first

Laying on my stomach, soaking in heat from the sun
Letting the sand swim through my toes
When I get up I run along the beach racing the waves
Back on the beach seashells are biting my toes
I end the day by reading my favorite book on my fluffy towel

"Cleaning Day"

Remember how I said I wanted every day of summer to have like a theme or like an activity or something? Well today is "Cleaning Day"...and to tell you the truth, I'm actually enjoying it. I'm cleaning on my own time...not cause mom asked me to or anything, it's just cause I want everything to be all organized and everything for the entire summer.

So far today I've cleaned the kitchen (that was a chore asked for by mom, but it's still cleaning so...yupp), and cleaned my room...and that's it. Haha! But I've been working for about three hours now...I'm doing the INTENSE room cleaning, not just the clean up the floor. I'm digging through old boxes and into the scary parts of my closet and finding some pretty cool stuff that I totally forgot about it.

After the room's ALL done (still going at it) I'm gonna start laundry and then start the sideroom...oh boy.

I gotta say I'm kinda proud of myself...instead of letting myself get into the lazy mode of summer, I'm actually doing things and working hard. Well it's only been one day so far...but I hope most of my summer's like this...relaxed work...it's not so bad. :]
