What I've Been Doing

     I was gonna make a post about Thanksgiving and stuff... but whenever I think that I'm going to do a specific post... I sit down to write it and it doesn't work. So I wait for a post to come that just flows XD Also, I just realized there are little emoji things!👅 But I dunno if I'll use them a lot... They're hard to see, for me, and takes a long time to find the one I want. 😔
     Ok, so, like a week ago, I started watching Code Geass, my tie for Fav Anime. But as I was watching it and rereading about it on Wikipedia... I think I'm going to rethink my decision about it. Its a fun anime... but... its really not the best. I love the colors and the gangly characters, but.. the actual story and the morals, I suppose, aren't the best, from a Christian perspective anyway. So... I still like it... but honestly it takes me back and reminds me of a time in my life where... lets just say I relate more to Lelouch. And if you've watched the anime, you know that Lelouch is... really not the best guy. His end goal is a good idea, but his methods are, well, quite wrong. Pretty much everyone's methods are wrong. Euphie is good and so is Nunnally, but... And I haven't finished it, so I don't remember everything, but its just not the best thing. Its similar, also, to my fav manga, Deathnote. Both Lelouch and Light are similar characters, though Lelouch is better in the end. ANYWAY! Basically, this might be the last time I watch this anime... I dunno. I've found that when you're at different parts of your life you react to the same thing differently. So, I might like it better later.
     As of yesterday I've started watching the Appendices of The Lord of the Rings and I like it much better than Code Geass :) LOTR is just my fav thing and it brings me to a happy time in my life. Unlike Code Geass. Also, I've been thinking more in a New Zealand accent XD Its just fun. I'll probably talk more about LOTR later, though, but its just facinating to me how the movie got made and how Tolkien came up with it all and I really wish I could have been a part of it when it was made :)
     I've been so excited this year to buy Christmas gifts! I saved up money this year (its only the second year I've actually had a job though XD) and I was so excited to buy stuff for family that I forgot about charity and when my mom reminded me it was like a light bulb went off in my head! Like, my close family is pretty well off, they aren't sorely in need of any physical items, but there are people who are. So I've already bought a book set things from Costco for the Toys for Tots bin at my church and I picked up an Angel Tree thing from the mall. The kid said he wanted a watch, but I've already also gotten him some clothes ^_^ I figure that if he was humble enough to ask for only a watch, I'll give him more than what he asked for :) I just hope he likes what I've picked out x"D
      One thing I have not been doing since last Thursday is working XD My job isn't particularly regular so it comes and goes as far as busy-ness. I'm enjoying the time off, but its also weird. It also has me looking for another job that is more steady. I've applied to one place where one of my friends already works, and I'm plucking up the courage to apply for another one. But the two jobs are completely different and its sort of scary... the 2nd one because its not something I've done before and its also like actually full time. Which means I'd be doing a lot less of everything else. So... I'm reluctant to do that just because, I like the flexibility I have right now and if I do get the 2nd job and I do well, its the sort of job that you're "set for life" in, if you know what I mean. Which... is good, but its more like I don't know if I want to be in that line of work my whole life. SO yeah, I've been thinking about that and even though its not a super big deal... its still... feels like it. So I've been praying "Lord, Thy will be done, Thy will be done!" He knows whats best for me so I should have nothing to worry about. I guess the thing I'm sorta worried about is letting people down. I hate applying for multiple jobs at the same time because I think, what if I get offered all of them? One is better, but one is more fun and it seems like they both need me? Ugh. But then I just think that thats dumb. People come and go in jobs all the time and I can just quit if I don't really like it. I'm still young and I still have time, and God won't punish me horribly for "choosing the 'wrong' path". Well, I get that if I do something horribly wrong, yes, I'll be punished, but choosing one job over another for a short period of time isn't going to be that detrimental. I guess what also is nagging at me is the 2nd job is sort of time sensitive. I might have to act on it now or I'll never be asked again, because it is a job I sorta turned down twice already, but because I was already busy... Anyway... I don't really want it now... but it is a really good opportunity. Basically, I guess I feel torn between doing something fun and more personable and doing something that will earn me more money and benefits later down the line... sigh... When I put it that way, it sounds simple, I guess. Like I've already made up my mind, but my parents also really want me to do job 2 because its more stable and they've been nagging me... ugh. I guess what I'm saying is, pray for  me XD Its not a super bad situation, but its still annoying to be in, ya know.
     Ok, this seems like a long thing, so Imma wrap it up now :) Toodles! And God Bless! ^_^ Happy Holidays and Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas! 🙌😁
