so emotional, baby

[chestnutcurls]

Yesterday was the best day! I got to go home a little early- on a Thursday!- because my boss wasn't here, so my director sent me home. Evan was finished with my car, so I got to spend some unexpected time with him. Since we rarely see each other in daylight, it was a big deal. He did a great job fixing the car...I'm so overwhelmed by how smart and generous he is. :) Then Kathy ordered a pizza for dinner, and I took a good walk, and Friends was on, and then Evan came back from class. I have an overwhelming feeling of gratefulness and goodwill. God blesses me so much. The only dark spot on the day was that tutoring was cancelled again, and it looks like I'm not going to be tutoring Yolanda anymore. Streets is a great ministry, but I have to really think about whether I want to start again with another kid. This will be the third time they've switched me, and I'm getting discouraged. I'm not sure yet what to do.

Sometimes when I'm feeling great and my friends are upset, I feel guilty. I feel like I need to be down there with them in order to help them. But I might not be able to help them if I was depressed, too. Plus, it's only recently that I've been happy on a more permanent basis. So maybe God can use my happiness. :) I'm not sure what my point was in sharing that.

The (unintentional) theme of this week's lyrics quiz is Feelings. I only have 8 this week because it's getting harder to come up with songs people will know. Also, I sometimes include songs that I know one person will know, but then they don't take the quiz and it's very disappointing. So please at least look! You might know one. I'm not that weird. :)

Awesome quiz- I actually knew two of them and two others were quite familiar and I should have known them. :-)
I read your post too, and I'm glad you're feeling cheerful these days!

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Yaay! Those two were for you. :)

Can't explain all the feelings that you're making me feel / My heart's in overdrive and you're behind the steering wheel

Nasty Tricksy Brenda!!!!!
ha j/k.

It's another lyric that has the exact lyric of another song!

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Sorry! I don't even know that other song. I'm not a big Katy Rose fan. She's like a bad Avril Lavigne. And I don't even want to go there. :)

Sadly, I never know the answers to these. I have some freakish ability to remember all sorts of song lyrics, but not the name of the song/band. Maybe you could do a reverse poll - name a song/band with a fill in the lyric blank!
;)

oooh that would be fun!!!!!!!

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Good idea! Maybe I'll do that next week. And hey, you got some right this time!

[krikketgirl.livejournal.com]

I'm shocked! I knew one!!!

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Yaaaay!

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Thanks Laura! :) I hope things are going well for you too!

[contradictions.livejournal.com]

HUZZAH! I knew TWO of them!

[chestnutcurls.livejournal.com]

Same here--pretty much the same two as everyone else. I had heard the Shania Twain song before, but not enough of it to know who sang it or be sure about it. (-:

[anulyra.livejournal.com]

[imaginarylove.livejournal.com]

[mzspearz.livejournal.com]

"Sometimes when I'm feeling great and my friends are upset, I feel guilty."

Wow... I can so totally relate to that.
