I love your picture!

Cute new picture! xD Is that your little brother?

Thanks. :D Yup!! :D

It's not stupid. Rather though, I should be asking how you are. ;) How are you? xD

Thanks!! :D

The comment I responded to had the answer to the question right there! XD I'm alright. I'm getting ready for a run, so I'm not really looking forward to that. It's super cold out!

How cold is it there? It's approx. 38 here. And super windy. :D

Oh, oops. xP Lol. What's the temperature?

Same. So really its not all that cold. But I can only find running shorts, not long pants…

A bit over 30.

Alright, I'm going now. Bye girls! :) Have a great rest of your day!

Bye Rachel!

Same. So really its not all that cold. But I can only find running shorts, not long pants...

Ok, yeah. I would rather run in jeans than shorts… :D That's gonna be cold.

Ok, bye!!! You too. :D

I'm out of jeans too…

Nice. Borrow something. Or don't go. Or go in shorts. :D ^I'm not very helpful am I… :P^

I'm wearing a super warm hoodie, so I think I'm just going to wear these shorts… lol

I'm leaving now, bye!

Ill probably be back in like 20-30 minutes thou.

Haha, ok!!!

I probably should go too, bye!!!

Back! Anyone else here?

Hello. :)

Hi!!!!!

How goes the life? :)

The life goes good. Mostly at least. How about yours?

I'm still alive. That counts for something, I think. :)

Haha. It should at least. What have you been up to?

Enjoying a week's break from school, finishing up homework, talking with friends, enjoying my Bible, and listening to music. Got a new Lecrae album off iTunes, as well as some Japanese heavy metal and other asian music. ^ _ ^

Sweet! I'm not sure how I feel about Japanese heavy metal and Asian music, but Lecrae is pretty awesome!

I can send you a link to a Korean song I recently bough, if you'd like. I find that you can find music you like even in places you don't expect. What style do you prefer? Upbeat or soft?

Lol sure, I like both styles.

Here you go. Scroll down for translated lyrics. :)

11. What is your screensaver right now? Our _desktop background_ picture is of my Dad, sister, and I, standing in front of the Alamo on our trip to SA for BB :)
12. How are you different that you were one year ago? Interesting question :) I know I'm somewhat different…but it's hard to put it into words. x) I'm older, I'm no longer a Bible Bee contestant (sob), hopefully more mature…and… I'm not sure what else to put down that would make any sense. xD lol
