(hello friends, it's been awhile, hasn't it?)

happy 30th anniversary, agape fellowship!

for those of you who don't know, agape is the fellowship my parents (and their friends) started up when they were in their twenties and going to college here. it's because of them that i have my lifelong best friends (tacb) as well as a multitude of honorary uncles and aunties to watch out for me. i can only hope that the friendships i have with tacb and those with my delta friends will be as strong 30 years from now. :)

in the meantime, here's a little blast-from-the-past:
part of today's agape 30th celebration service program was the opening of a "time capsule" we had put together seven years ago (right before "Y2K" hit). i think the best part was my dad rifling through the stuff in the elaborately decorated box and announcing to everybody that they "have the wrong box" (it wasn't), but the second best was reading the answers for our "millennium time capsule questionnaire". at the time i was 16 years old and in grade eleven, and apparently had very, very bad taste in music. one of my favourite bands at the time was the backstreet boys -- ah yes, those were the simpler days when my "teen heart-throb crush" was nick carter and he was cute and hadn't started dating paris hilton yet (in fact, those were the days when we didn't even know what a paris hilton was...) how i long for those days! my other favourite bands were OLP and bush (bush x?). looking over the rest of the list, my favourite shows were roswell, dawson's creek, and buffy. you're welcome, WB network. my favourite movie at the time was austin powers 2 and my favourite songs were "supernatural" by dctalk and, this is really sad, "all star" by smashmouth. when asked where i saw myself in 10 years, i wrote: "i don't know... i should be done school, maybe have a boyfriend(?), be living on my own, and have a job of some sorts. or else maybe i've won the lottery... or i'm a hobo...". clearly i was not a very articulate child -- though i suppose this answer was more realistic than mei's "married with two children" response! it's really strange to see how much has changed in just a few years and honestly, just like the 16-year-old-me seven years ago, i still don't have a clue what's going to happen ten years down the line. what i'm going to be doing, whether i will be happy, where i'm going to be living, how much money i'm going to win from the ontario gaming commission -- all of this is really up in the air at this time and, as i get closer and closer to graduation, it's really starting to hit me. *takes deep breath* i guess there's little i can really do besides taking things one step at a time... heh, but atleast tacb will always be my "best friends 4ever". :)
