Meme Day 29 and Katy Perry

Day 29 – Your aspirations
Haha, “aspiration” is also sucking fluids from a bodily cavity. Just thought I’d share that.
Isn’t this sorta like…what are you goals or dreams in life? Which was already a question. And I really don’t want to think of new little things. Ok, well maybe I can think of a few. I want to make a perfect, beautiful cupcake. I want to go to Boston with my East Coast friends. I want to speak French fluently.

Just a note. I have had two people tell me that they like Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" and express regret in listening to it due to my expressed feelings on it. I would just like to clarify something. I listen to the song. Now...not necessarily because I like it but because I want to write a really railing devotional about it and so I want to listen to it to keep pumping my outrage. ;) But anywho, just so ya'll know, I don't want any of you to change your ways because you feel like you have to because of me or anyone else. I hope that people can make their own decisions based on their own conciences and on how they feel God is speaking to them. I am glad if I can have some sort of good influence on people through what I say or think but I don't want the outcome to be when the song plays you think, "I shouldnt' listen to this cuz Liv doesn't like it!"

November 2

What a day. Oh.

I am too tired to even write out everything that happened. I voted for the first time. Had my first flat tire ever. Couldn't get a hold of my dad for two hours, which was a little scary and frustrating. Forgot my books for school and had to go back home to get them. Had amazingly yummy pizza in a really awesome NYC themed restaurant. Watched an amazing video from an amazing friend.

May I just take a moment to note that I am disgusted with Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream". Absolutely horrified. Not necessarily at the degrading content of the song (which I am) as the fact that our society--people, parents, and local radio stations--condone it and even...accept the message. Oh so gross. I might just throw something.

I must be a really dysfunctional friend or something.

Got my senior pics...most of you saw them. I am really happy with the way a few of them turned out. Our good friend did them for me--she's amazing. God's amazing to have made me the way He wanted me to look. I just love that I look how God wants me to. Wow...

Tonight at Bible study we were reading Luke something or other, the story about the prostitute or cleaned Jesus's feet with her tears. And it struck me for the first time ever how amazing that story is. Have you ever experienced the amazingness of God so fully that you just cry? Or when a really awesome worship song plays and you are in a mass of thousands of people all singing together and you start bawling? I can imagine that is sort of how that woman felt x 100. I mean, to think that she was sobbing so hard that she could literally clean all of the crap of Jesus's feet. Sometimes I think that's how it might be when I get to Heaven. Not just tears from shame and humility but tears that are evoked by the sheer majesty, love, and compassion from our Lord.
