Don't really have anything at the moment?

So today I told myself I would update because I haven't updated in a week, but I'm kinda not in the mood to make a full blog post.. So here are a few thoughts instead.

I'm not going to end up going on that trip I was planning to go on next weekend. I really wasn't at peace about going. It was a combination of a lot of things, and it added up to becoming something I wasn't really 100% comfortable doing. Sorry for the ambiguity, I might have to elaborate later, but this is all for now.

I'm going to do my best to get Christmas presents for people this year! This is something I want to make an effort to change about myself this year! I am really, really bad at getting gifts... I might have to ask my brother for advice or something. Gifts is the weakest of my Love Languages, but for David, I'm pretty sure Gifts is one of the top two on his list. :P

I'd like to publicly congratulate my favorite ex-roommate Sam on being the first to discover, on his own, the play on words in the title of my blog! :) I chose the title (which I have also used as a screen name in some places) for, well, 3 reasons.

1. It's a slightly uncommon phrase, but not so uncommon that people don't know what it means. It's something that might potentially come up in conversation. Example: "Do you know how genetics really effects us?" asked the student, "Because it's really beyond me."
2. As many of you know, my screen name is BeyondAShadow, and it can be taken to be something like, "It's me, Beyond!"
3. And the final and most meaningful reason is the one Sam picked up on, and that is the fact that "It's beyond me" is my confession of the many ways in which I, personally, fall short, but thankfully, God does not. And, in fact, he carries me to places that are "beyond me" were I to do things purely on my own effort. :)

So yeah, now you are all informed. :) I still owe you all the meaning of BeyondAShadow though. It's coming at some point!

This turned out to be a longer entry than I planned...

Sheila called me out for not posting any pictures. I will try my best to post some! But as many of you know, I'm really bad at posting pictures, so no promises...

I'm starting to wish I hadn't published this blog so publicly.. Hahaha I also didn't expect so many people to be checking it! It's not that I don't want people to read my blog, because I do want people reading it! But I used to use my old LiveJournal and Xanga as places where I could just let all of my thoughts and frustrations out. Now that this blog is so public, and considering the sensitive nature of my usual venting, I'm probably not going to use this blog for that purpose haha. It might actually be better this way though. :)

Our favorite coffee shop is playing some extremely obscure Christmas music... Some of it is very strange...

I've been meaning to post up some quotes from that C.S. Lewis book that I'm reading. I will do so in the near future!

I need help with WordPress. Is there anyone who can help me?

It is quite cold.
