What does the Lord require of you?
I beat my body and make it my slave…
=== ha256’s Friendly Mindmap ===
Props for this little xanga chain-post go out to jiahe, grace, tiff, and dana~ (hope I didn’t miss anyone…)
Mindmapping your friends…
I. If you want to partipate, reply to this post with your name. (no innocent bystanders, ok?)
II. I will give ONE WORD that comes to mind when I think of you.
( I’ll try to just put down the first word that comes to my mind. No promises that they won’t be weird though… Don’t say I didn’t warn you! I’ll also add something memorable about you that stuck in my mind…)
III. Feel free to borrow this and share with your own circle of friends.
Houng (Silent -> Smile)
I always remembered you as being the quiet one. Very private, very reserved. Considering we’ve known each other for so long, I think it’s ok for you to have 2 words. You’ve matured considerably and I’ve gotten to know you a lot better. You seem to smile more easily nowadays… so yea, here’s to you, smiley~ 😀
Dana (Spunky)
You always seemed to have some sort of attitude, combined with an ability to flaunt it. Outgoing and outspoken. You remind me of a friend who has become a mature woman of God. You strike me as someone people would look up to, whether they admit it or not…
Gloria (Artist)
I’ve never met you in person, but I have a feeling that even that wouldn’t do you justice. It’s like you’ve got unfathomable depths and I can only scratch the surface. I read your writing and it makes me wish I could write like you. Passionate, emotional, and viseral. I was hooked in from the first post and consequently wished you posted more often…
Jiahe (Laugh)
You strike me as guarded and reserved. Makes me wonder why or what makes you like that… I remember that day at Creation where you laughed and I was so surprised, it’s stuck out in my mind. Your smiles always seemed hesitant, like you were waiting for some sort of approval or something. But that laugh was something else, downright refreshing…
Cindy (Aglow)
I remember the first time I met you. It wasn’t very memorable, but you definitely had and still have a heart for lost sheep. Never really got close to you, but you seem a bit distant, even through you have a caring heart. It’s all about the soul and taking your friends HOME with you to our Father’s house. I like that.
Lynda (Blaq)
I still owe you a hug. Strong, determined and very clear-headed. You seem to have this striking need to prove you are unique and independent…but you already are both unique and independent. ^_^ I have high expectations of you b/c you remind me of myself when I was younger and I know you can really fly and I hope you do… all that’s standing in your path… is yourself. That applies equally to us both, I guess…
Tiffany (Enthusiastic)
You always seem to be full of energy. Always seem to be in the middle of, getting into or avoiding the consequences of some sort of prank or mischief. Not to say I’ve ever heard or seen it, but you strike me as some sort of joker or prankster. Maybe cuz I don’t know you too well. Your xanga doesn’t seem to match your personality, so it just leaves me wondering…
Yi (Unique)
hmm… you are definitely unique. quirky tastes and strange face-making. You definitely don’t fit into any categories in my head… more like you make your own category. You are a Yi. I don’t know a better way to put it.
Anna ( Taz )
You ever seen that episode where Bugs Bunny meets Taz? Crazy-spinny-dizzy-to-behold. Yea, that seems to be your social life. And the descriptions of food… enough to make any devil drool… ^_^ But there always seems to never be enough of it and the appetite just gets bigger. (Just don’t hurt me when you next meet me, k? ^,^;;; )
Brenda (Face)
I have no clue. The dimples? The streaked hair? The smiles? I still remember your fear of heights… and I thought I hated heights. I actually had to help you down from that hill. But then again, fear isn’t exactly logical anyway. Haven’t seen you in ages. Where ya been? Met SOS and gots no time? ^_~
Kathy (Kitty)
Outspoken. Definitely vocal and maybe even enjoy questioning authority. Hello Kitty. Remind me a bit of the powerpuff girls… you’d be… I forgot the name of the one in green. ^_^ You definitely strike me as a rebel, needing a few good battles to fight.
Ruth (Twiny)
hmm… I don’t know if I can do you justice with a single paragraph, but here’s my shot. Camping. Cheesecake. Dancing. Praise. Guitar. Creation. Lisa. Lawyer. Penciled-In. 2.5 Fellowships. Mind-reading. Prayerful. Mindful. Assertive. Busy. Meticulous. and Youth! Yeah… I’m pretty sure I missed some, but there’s plenty there. Maybe I’ll actually bump into you and we can chat. ^_^

That’s what I decided. He just wanted to help me learn to skate better… which is largely why I might go back. Then again, for me, a guy asking for your number doesn’t immediately equal romantic interest… but the potential for friendship.
hm. I appreciate that mindmap. I hope you’re right… about there being any depth and about my writing 🙂
thanks.
:sunglasses::lol::cheekygrin:
Hmmmm..
wow you make me sound a lot cooler than i really am.
:sleep:
^ what is this!? cow snot!?
[gags]
:wave:
Was reading your comment on my guestbook just now and lol it just sink in. Ummm Cambodian New year isnt in February. Its more like in April.
wooo, thanks for the mindmap. =). encouraging. when was the first time we met? was it at bucknell when i visited Lan her sophomore year (my freshie yr)? or maybe it was at my parents’ restaurant when you guys came to eat.
i’m good at being distant with brothers. i was always taught growing up to watch my behavior, even around my own brother! pleh. on another note- hey, i just talked to lynda, she said she’s leaving for penn state already on weds! so fast. i was wondering if you would be interested in joining some folks and i for dinner and bible study at 816 tasker (the pastor’s house), 7pmish. the study is geared more towards new believers or people investigating…but i got so much out of it two weeks ago. it’s every other weds. i’m trying to get my cousin to come. he lives in the south philly area too and hasn’t been to church since he was small. he’s like 24 now. hehe, you can talk to him for me =).
oh yeah, if you are interested, ask your sister if she wants to come too! good place to find mutual encouragement from brothers and sisters in the area =).
cool =). thanks for letting me know. :cheekygrin:
oOo…do me too. I wanna know what u think of my >.<
haha..my social life is spinny dizzy? Yea i love food but usually i have my bro’s or my bf to finish things for me!! But getting fat so need to work out >.<
i’m repling w/my name, brenda.
:headbanger:
wow, that is awesome. i alwayz remembered those memorable moments in the past w/frens. as i recall you & billy had helped me alot to face my fear of heights that time. as of now, i’m still afraid of heights, but that helps me understand that i can do it. and we did! hehehe…you guys are such nice ppls. so kool to hang out with.
yup, it’s been awhile that i haven’t seen you & some of the others for ages. wat’s going on? how’s life & everything? busy dating yet? hehehe…j/k! :cheekygrin:
btw, thanx for your dearful & cheerful thought. if you don’t mind, i’ll copy & paste that into my site about “brenda”. hehehe…:-)
looks like i missed out:-(. guess il have to check ur site more often:-)
my parents know about him and they know im greatly annoyed with him and they dont like him…but nothing has been done yet. and i guess…i dunno…i dont want to tell him to buzz off and leave me alone, cuz i hate hurting people and i really dont mind just being friends. he just keeps pushing it…
:cheekygrin: Thanks for the tip on the SWF file! Now I have to see into getting a capture utility for my sound card. 🙂
Your rampant comment-less eProp terrorism is getting annoying.
