MySpace a place for friends

My name is Jamie, and I rather like it, even though I also rather like to pretend that it’s Ruby. Apparently, I also rather like to say “rather”. I got the name “Ruby Sunrise” from an incredible play by Rinne Groff that I saw at Actors Theatre of Louisville my senior year of high school. I’m something of a dork, I’m sure. But I’m okay with that. There are worse things to be. :) My thoughts don’t ever come out the way they’re supposed to. I can barely even think them the way I mean to. I know that sounds bizarre, but it only proves my point. It’s easier to write them than speak them, because I’m very intimidated by people. Especially those I look up to or think a lot of. But even though it’s easier to write them, I still often come off sounding insane. I guess I think too much. My head just becomes so filled up with thoughts that it’s nearly impossible to express myself. I’m old. Ancient, really. Aak. That doesn’t seem at all possible. I help teach a Sunday School class for pre-schoolers at my church, Antioch General Baptist. I’ve been doing this for a few years and I still don’t do the greatest job. The kids in my class teach me far more than I could ever teach them, but I do hope they get something from it, and I hope they have fun. I love God and am so thankful for what He’s given me and continues to give me every day. I just look around at the amazing ways in which the world works and all the perfectly created things in nature and, even though there are bad things that happen, I can’t help but be happy and astounded about the fact that God is so far beyond my comprehension. In some cases, not being able to fully understand every purpose for every thing might be unsatisfying. But it’s different. It’s where the word “faith” comes in. There’s something so satisfying and, more than that, amazing about it. I might sound like a lunatic, but it’s just nearly impossible to describe all of this unless you’ve felt it, or you know what I mean, or however you want to say it. I know I need to do more for God and the World, and I hope to try to do as much as a can all of my life. In no way do I believe I’m better than anyone…quite the contrary, to be honest. I know I have A LOT of flaws, and I drive myself crazy sometimes. I believe God is about love and loving people. He gave us His son, Jesus, to prove this, and I am so thankful for that. Hate is just so pointless, in my opinion. It only makes you bitter. I think sometimes religion gets in the way of God and people get so caught up in what religion means or doesn’t mean that they forget just what God is about. Love is the most powerful thing in the world. That’s a strong statement, but I truly believe it. I’m still a human being with human emotions and thoughts. Sometimes those people that forget that God is about love get carried away with something that has nothing to do with God and can give Christians a bad name. These people sometimes cause other people to think that all Christians are “holier-than-thou”, forever-serious sticks in the mud, or dumb and uneducated followers of some “cult”. But that’s just not at all true. It just makes me sad that those people stand out so much and give other people the wrong idea of what God is really about. I’m sorry for rambling on for eternity…I tend to do that in all aspects of my life. I don’t mean to sound like I’m preaching, because I’m certainly in no position to do that. It’s just hard to describe this amazing feeling of love, of acceptance, of never being truly alone, of whatever you want to call it, without coming across the wrong way. I guess I might be a bit of a hippie. I don’t know. Minus the bra-burning. I love the environment, or nature, really, though I don’t do nearly enough to help it out. People make fun of me all the time, though, for doing weird little things like taking home cans from work to recycle, or turning off the TV with the button that’s actually ON the TV instead of the remote. And I’m slightly obsessive-compulsive, I think, because I take way too long in the shower and hygiene-related areas, but I hate to leave the water running if I’m not using it ever since I saw an episode of Sesame Street when I was really little with a song about wasting water. It showed a fish in a pond and a kid running water in his house, and the fish’s water was draining as the kid ran water! And I’m rambling again. This may as well be a poorly-organized autobiography that nobody buys. (???) I have no idea what I’m talking about. Oh well. I don’t suppose I ever do. I hate, with great passion, to be lied to, ignored, or brushed off. If you don’t like me or I annoy you or whatever, TELL ME. I’ll get out of your way. I say the phrase “I don’t know” as a form of punctuation. I like to paint myself a moustache whenever I get chocolate fudge ice cream from Baskin Robbins. I wish I cooked more often. I miss the past. I thrive on memories. I’m terrified of change. I love to listen to music in the car by myself while singing along at the top of my lungs. I can’t sing well, but it’s extraordinarily fun. Everyone should do this, at least every once in a while. I think macaroni and cheese tastes better at night. I’m probably one of the most indecisive people you’ll ever meet. I’ve never been on a date in my entire life. I don’t think I’ll keel over anytime soon because of that fact, though. I do leprechaun leaps. I’m scared of everything. I love to play Jeopardy! I wish everyone in the world was happy. I pinch elbows. I even pinch my own elbows. I love theatre, and I wish I had the nerve to act. I love to recite lines and act out scenes from movies and plays with any poor soul that I can recruit (friends, family, street urchins…haha...just kidding about that last one). Rambling is often what I do best. (As you can see…) It’s very important to me for people to know when I’m sincere. I find moustaches to be quite hilarious. I wish I had a larger vocabulary. I love the words intrigue, crisp, and breakfast…among others. I hate the words special and flesh (*shudder!!*), as well as the words democrat, republican, conservative, and liberal. (The latter two when speaking about politics, of course. Not ingredients in a recipe or something.) I look too forward to taking the wrapping off DVDs and CDs and the stickers off electronics. I sob during weird parts in movies; like when Kevin runs around the house screaming in “Home Alone” after slapping on some aftershave. But I don’t generally cry during the parts of movies that most people would cry. I observe the unobservable. I memorize things. I don't fit. I like plain food. I know what some of my MySpace friends' moms looked like in high school. I relish the last bite of my frozen lasagnas. I believe. I try to put myself in other people's shoes as often as possible. (Yes, people include children.) I don't ever know what to do or say or think. I have a weird mole on my hand between my thumb and index finger that speaks Yiddish. (haha...It doesn't really, but I sometimes pretend it does.) People who wear neon colors make me happy, for some unknown reason. I love the mountains, I love the rolling hills, I love the flowers, I love the daffodils. I hate not being trusted. I tend to drive people away. Gnats are my mortal enemies. I love guffawing, chuckling, and just laughing so hard that I laugh hard. I love looking through old things and finding something that cracks me up. I love nostalgia. I love mowing on a riding lawn mower. I was a tomboy. I was a dog. I was a drummer. I was a ninja. I was a ballerina. I was an ar-teest. Noticing smells of everything is often what I do best. Sniffing things is a reflex. I want my kids to call their parents Mama and Papa. I think it’s weird when people say “Hello, how are you?”, and don’t answer you when you say “Fine, how are you”. I hate when you ask someone what they are doing (especially whilst IMing) and they say “nothing”. I LOVE musicals. I would love to take tap-dancing lessons and karate lessons. I love animals. I went to Italy and Switzerland my senior year of high school and it was one of the most extraordinary experiences of my life. The places we visited, the food we ate, the amazing people I got to know, the history we encountered, the culture we took in, the art we saw, everything about the experience was something truly unforgettable. I would love to go to Scotland, Greece, Ireland, England, France, Germany, Austria, Russia, Japan, and Australia someday before I die. I love taking photographs, and I love to doodle. I’m also a fan of the computer program MS Paint. It’s a lot of fun, as is any Photo Shop-type program. I love Scottish accents. I still don’t know what I want to do with my life. I have so many interests, and I can’t decide on anything. I want to cut my hair short, but I fear that, if I do, I’ll look more like a little boy than I already do. I think green tea looks like pee. I’m very interested in dreams. I often remember mine in great detail, and they’re usually insane. I like to ask people what they think my dreams mean, just for the fun of it. Sometimes…okay, most of the time…I tell very pointless stories. People are bad for you, and yet something about them is addictive. Psh. My first memory was flipping over my little turtle floaty and being terrified and trapped under the water and almost drowning at Allen's Lake. I have man-thumbs. Whenever I buy a new CD and listen to it over and over, I feel somewhat disloyal to my others. I’m a wimp. I’ll flood you with myself. I like to dance insanely. I have a bright red feather boa with gold flecks. I enjoy peanut butter on a spoon. The order of my “top friends” means nothing. I just clicked and dragged and they ended up wherever they ended up. I like comments, picture comments, and blog comments (blomments) as much as the next person. I usually try to always respond to them. If you leave me a blomment, I will usually respond with another blomment on my blog after the one you left. I’m a fan of peace. My bellybutton is even shaped like a peace sign. Too much information? (I’m definitely asking THAT question too late.) I think it’s good to be sanely insane for the sake of insanity. L’Chaim!

I’m really way too indecisive and ridiculous to attempt to sum myself up in a couple of paragraphs for this. But there you go...a bunch of...something. I’ve surely left out something or made myself sound more insane than I actually am. If you’d like to know anything else, all you have to do is read my blogs, look at my interests, and/or talk to me. Which may or may not help. And once you’ve figured me out, be sure to let me in on it. :)

*By the way, no I don't believe horoscopes predict fate and all that jazz, but they can be intruiging and jolly good fun. So I must tell you that, although I am technically a Leo, my birthday is only 2 days away from being a Virgo. This supposedly makes me prone to both signs' qualities and such. And I must say, I'm much more like a Virgo. I am not at all in love with the spotlight and a born leader like a Leo. Anyway...just thought I'd share that dull tidbit.

My "Top Friends" are in no particular order -- I recently discovered that you can "randomize" them and chose to do so because I've never really liked the idea of having a few "top friends" show up anyway. So every time you refresh my page, they should be different. Cheerio! (haha, I don't know...) :]
