My name is Jacqueline - I'm a socially moderate, religiously conservative, and politically liberal girl just loving life right now! I'm a 24 year old Master's of Media Studies student at the University of Texas, but an Oklahoma alumni and die-hard Sooner fan! I'm currently writing my thesis - in a nutshell my research is about girls' online lives, particularly informal learning environments. I'm also an English & Language Arts teacher for a local Home School Co-op. When I'm not researching for my thesis or writing lesson plans - I'm usually watching college football! Oh yea, and I'm training to run a half marathon with Teams in Training this winter, I'm pumped!

I hope: the sun stays out all week
I hate: mushrooms

I crave: candy, always candy
I regret: not always being there for people when I should've been
I cry: when I get too tired
I care: about my family
I feel alone: when I am
I always: double check my alarm clock
I drive: too much
I sing: in the car...loudly
I dance: naked in my bedroom
I write: all the time

I kissed your throat every time they said it wouldn't last
I love Spring, it's just so much fun. Thursday Brandon and I skipped history to go play tennis for a couple of hours and it was great. I've missed the sunshine!
Yesterday a big group of us went to the Medieval Fair (Click here for some not so exciting pics), which was fun as always. I got to swing, pet a Great Dane, eat a funnel cake and get hit on by 3 black guys, oh yea! Brandon ate way too much, we all drank some "limeade" and had a grand 'ol time. Afterwards, John, Brandon, and I smoked the hookah and played some fooseball.
Then we met a ton of people at the theater to go see Sin City. It was a beautiful movie, with some very good story lines, but by the end the violence was really getting to me. Even if the dude was yellow and only half human-like, I didn't want to see him destroyed, so gross. But it's a good movie.
Afterwards we all headed to Taco Cabana, yum. We stayed for awhile just talking and chilling. Even more blackmail stories have emerged from Spring Break. Something about Dustin and Danny in the backseat of a van...hmmmm...
It's so beautiful outside today, I think I'm gonna go to the park and read. Now if only I had a dog life would be perfect.
Oh, and a prayer request: My mom fell off her horse this week and got a mild concussion, her head is hurting her and she's all bruised up. So pray she heals quickly, I love my mom!
"This is the day the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24
Yes this is as shallow as it appears...but I think my boyfriend is hot and I don't care if I show him off!
I love you P----!

It's official, Happy Hour(s) at The Library are the greatest! I love their $1.50 microbrew pints, you seriously can't beat it. Seriously, what's better than drinking with your favorite people at 4 in the afternoon after a bunch of hard classes, NOTHING! There's something so appealing about having a beer when it's still light outside. The weather is so nice, I love getting to sit on the patio and drink a refreshing beer. And thanks to John leaving before his beer came, I got to try a Sooner Stout, which Brandon kept telling me "isn't a girl's beer, you won't like it." Well, turns out I loved it and can't wait to go back and order another one. Pale Ale Schmale Ale, gimme a Stout!
Hilary are you coming again next week? Haha!

I was studying at Border's tonight and I over-heard a conversation a girl was having on the phone, presumably with her boyfriend. Now, I couldn't really see this girl because of the bookshelf in front of me, but I caught a glimpse of her, and she appeared to be college age. Here's what I heard:
"No, I'm not crying. Yes, I am mad. However, I have every right to be bad....*brief pause*...ok fine, bye."
("Aw," I thought, "That girl's in a fight with her boyfriend, that sucks." *sympathy ceases at this point because of the conversation she and the friend with her at Border's proceed to have.)
Friend: Are you okay, you seem upset?
Girl previously on phone: I am upset, he never showed up today. And as I remember correctly, he pinky promised me. (said in a completely serious tone of voice)
*I momentarily stop listening in order to pick my jaw up off the floor*
Friend: So what did you do?
Girl: He finally text messaged me about 8
The girl went on to describe a "conversation" via text messages that went something like this:
Boy: What are you doing?
Girl: I'm putting my clothes back on
Boy: So you were naked?
*Girl to friend: Of course I was naked, he said he'd be over at 8:00*
Girl: Yes...so where were you?
Boy: Are you offended?
Girl: Why?
Boy: Cuz I thought I may have offended you with the naked comment.
*Girl says something I can't really hear...then sends a text saying: Oh well excuse me, when you said 6:00 I guess you meant Pacific Time, I guess I'll just see you sometime between 9:00 and 4:00.*
Girl to friend: Yea, he never responded to that message.
Friend: Well, you have to understand, he doesn't know everything. You can't expect him to know everything. I mean obviously he doesn't know how to date or how to be a boyfriend.
Ummm...excuse me, but what kind of date involves getting naked cuz your boyfriend is coming over? Seems rather presumptuous to me. Maybe this girl doesn't know much about being a girlfriend either. Who knows, but one thing is certain, she had no problem discussing nudity in public. Cuz I know I was not the only one in Border's to over-hear this odd conversation.

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16
The Resurrection - Matthew 28
1After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. 2There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. 4The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.
5The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. 7Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.”
8So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. 9Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings,” he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. 10Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.”
The Guards' Report 11While the women were on their way, some of the guards went into the city and reported to the chief priests everything that had happened. 12When the chief priests had met with the elders and devised a plan, they gave the soldiers a large sum of money, 13telling them, “You are to say, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep.’ 14If this report gets to the governor, we will satisfy him and keep you out of trouble.” 15So the soldiers took the money and did as they were instructed. And this story has been widely circulated among the Jews to this very day.
Happy Easter!
