Name: Jarica
Birthday: 12/15/1985
Gender: Female


Interests: I love traveling, learning about different cultures and attempting to learn other languages. Unfortunately, I haven't the money to cater to such extravagant interests. I have been to a limited amount of countries including Mexico, Cambodia, Thailand, Japan and Singapore (hehe.. the airports), Philippines, England, France and of course Canada... soon to be much more! (Please God?) I have loved getting to know the different people and all of that, so hopefully there will be much more in the future! I also love to research and learn just about anything. This interest comes quite in handy as I take a stab at earning my degree! Another love of mine is music. I really like just about anything from classical to country, rap to yes, even contemporary Christian. I am attempting to live a life worthy of God's calling on me and find myself failing much more than succeeding. I guess that's the awesome thing about God; He never gives up on you.

Here is my very short, but I thought needed update.. I'll do it in pictures because I got a camera for Christmas. So, we'll start there (because the last time I updated was 2nd week in December- which, by the way, I did get my grades and I did get a 4.0 in all 3 classes. I just thought that was an interesting tidbit) So, here we go...

This is my living room at Christmas time. Isn't it pretty?


So my parents rented me a cello for a YEAR because I really wanted to learn, but could only afford to pay lessons. I was so stinking excited and I'm learning, I really am. The only thing is I suck...


Ah, and here we are to New Year's Eve. From left to right- Joseph (teehee), Ashley, Jonathan, Andrew, yes that's me, and Kyle. We went to the thrift store, bought some amazing clothes and went ice skating. It was so much fun! We even got kazoos and went mad with them down town Bellevue. It may or may not have been annoying. But I am not a good judge of that.


And that brings me to February 9. This is Joseph and me- (this picture was actually taken today on the ferry. My cheeks were seriously blowing in the wind. I couldn't stand up- we went across the water and had crepes for our day off from school as a celebration for his birthday- which happens to be in November...) Anyway, February 9th is the day Joseph became my boyfriend. This picture makes me laugh.


This is February 16th. I got home from Portland and there was seriously a trail of rose petals from our front door to my bedroom, 7 roses on my bed (one for each day of dating) and a card that made me cry. So I took pictures. I think I've turned into that girl- you know the one I'm talking about. The girl that always talks about the same guy and who keeps giggling and no one really can figure out why- the girl that randomly zones out and smiles the most stupid smiles for no reason. Ah yes, I admit it, that is me.



I laid on the ground for this picture. I thought it artistic.
 

So there you go. That's all I got. I could write more, but I have a feeling it would be about Joseph and it might could be repetitive and slightly wordy for a short internet update. So I'll leave it where it is- stop while I'm ahead- you know the drill. I don't even know who you  is, but hopefully I know you. Soon, I'll have pictures of Chicago because I'M GOING TO SEE SARAH!! YAY!!! AND, I'm going to New Orleans the week after. You just wait, my internet friends, there will be pictures. And there will be celebration. With that, goodnight, it's time for bed.

I have tea bags in my mouth
My bottom lip has only sensation on the right side
I'm drooling blood
I just took pain pills and I think I can already feel them...
    ... which is probably why I'm typing this
What a strange feeling.. to have such pain in the jaw
I don't mind it though
I am thankful that I don't have leprosy
That was for Kathleen
Because every time she was struggling with how many mosquito bites she had, she would thank God that she had sensation in her skin
I'm feeling like that now.
Imagine having no sensation.
It makes pain joyful
And speaking of joyful, I just got a package this morning from Sarah- a Christmas package with all sorts of chocolate variety- even Ghiradelli 60%- I was so happy to see it..
Even more happy than getting my paycheck today, which is pretty happy
And even more more happy than being done with school and doing well even though this quarter has been quite the roller coaster. We get our grades on the 13th and I'm actually excited and hopeful. Imagine that.
I will end this with the solid fact that I love the Lord
I love Him- He is more than I could ever imagine or ask for and I am seriously in Awe.
And now I'll stop typing because I'm tired, gross and drugged

The other thing I wonder if being famous is anything like living in the Philippines

Oh, and why didn't Jesus write things for the Bible? Does anyone ever think about that? Do you have any clues for me why He left it to disciples to record His doings and sayings? Don't we all agree that He would've done better? Why not just write everything down? Well shoot, maybe He did. Maybe He wrote it all down and then someone stole it or burned it or stuck it somewhere and lost it. I would've been that loser.

One last thing.. why do boys make girls act retarded? Seriously.. I'm slower.

Once upon a time, there was a girl named Jarica
(Who saw that coming?!)
She didn't want to do her homework, so she sat at her computer listening to all sorts of music (Jim Brickman, Jack Johnson, Iron and Wine, Coldplay, Daniel Lehmann, Pedro the Lion, BHS Jazz Choir- you know the like), and talking on the phone to all sorts of people (My mom and dad who are in Hawaii, Joseph, Anna, Christine Overdick, Joseph again, Bethy, and even just to the phone when no one was on the other line). She didn't exactly know what to do because she was home alone and felt bored with doing a comparative analysis on Brown v Board of Education and Bakke v University of California. She didn't want to think about eye degeneration or astimatisms, or even music education. She didn't want to write a paper on foster children or her feelings about poems. She wanted to talk to a real live person. But that person didn't exist. And that sucked for extraverted Jarica because being alone makes her tired. Being alone makes her overanalytical about strange life topics. Then Jarica got more tired because her brain was making her heart hurt. She told it to shut up but that hurt her feelings again. So then she got on Xanga. She didn't exactly know why, but it comforted her to know that someone would read this at some time, thus proving that she wasn't actually alone. Then she posted a silly post about a girl who was doing silly things because she missed the Snack Bar and its endless opportunities of hanging out during the nighttime hours.


And here is my tribute to the Snack Bar because I wish I was there right now:

Here it is during the day. That's Liv og hun er min so/ster. I miss her too.


This is the couch in the snack bar where I probably spent half of my life in England. In this picture, I was feeling extra photogenic.


Here is the Snack Bar at night. Look at all the hanging out going on in there! (And why is Rob wearing socks with his sandals?! OMGsh!) Hey? Who's going barefoot in the bottom right? Gross!
 


That's all
*sigh*
I wish I was with people...

Our Endless Numbered Days
By Iron & Wine
ALL OF THEM

I'm remembering DTS . . .
Hawai'i

and Cambodia

That seems like a lifetime ago...
Just series of blurs like it never occured
(Death Cab? Any one?)

But there's me- 18 and all
Cute little nugget, hey?
Teehee

Juuuust kidding

You know what I like about this posting or blog?
-Or whatever you internet people say-
I'm writing it..

Like a Poem

It goes with the
Iron and Wine
Playing in the speakers right beside me
Oh oh oh oh
Riverside
Will you say to me
When I'm gone...
Jeez I sing well online




The night before we left for Hawaii, I was in my room talking on the phone and all the sudden the door burst open and I about had a myocardial infarction because 7 precious children came screaming in and jumping on me. They all came over to say a surprise goodbye. This is what we like to call the Jare Chair.. and a good chair I made...

This is Laura. We were in Cambodia, wearing my Khmer pants on our heads. She's living there now. And I still have those pants.


And this is a walnut forest or something like that in a different city from the one I did DTS in. Our team did a mini outreach for a week. I loved this forest. It was dark and dense and I wanted to go running inside it so badly, but they told us boars would attack us. I stayed out.

I want your flowers
Like babies
Want God's love
Well maybe
As sure as
Tomorrow will come

And the Iron and Wine continues


   
And to end the goodness of random memories.. here is me with Kristin. The good part about this story is that those presents aren't real and that tree was set up as decoration on the stage for our "Love Feast" before we all left for outreach (her to China, me to Cambodia). My genius plan was to get on stage and be excited, but I think she felt a little awkward  It was really funny.. which is true...

In other news, I had a boyfriend but now I don't
And I have 4 more weeks of school
Praise the Lord about that
I get my wisdom teeth pulled December 8th
I get to get drunk in public on December 15th
Oops
//edit//I get to turn 21 on December 15th
And I'm tired.. so tired...
