Thoughts on God and Truth

December

So, skimming over my birthday (Nov 4), election day (Nov 4), thanksgiving (Nov 21), and any other exciting November holidays, it brings us to that awkward "Happy Holiday Season, if you choose to celebrate anything at this time of year" time of year.

Me and my cat find ourselves at my parent's house. My car is dead and the roads are a sheet of ice. No way out even if I needed one. Hopefully, and ideally, I will have a vehicle of some sort by the end of this week/beginning of next week to head home with.

I have been biding my time doing a few useful things, but mostly just leveling on WoW. If I would only play one character, it would be a lot simpler. But for me, it is more of a social thing, I guess. Sure, I enjoy playing, but I log on/off several different servers to see if anyone I know is online. When I find someone, I play whatever I have on that server. Thus I don't have one high level, but eh... it works for me.

I should find something constructive to do to fill the next few days of my time, but I don't feel like it... This whole semester has been that way: Blah. No thanks. I'll do something else. That could explain my grades...

That whole situation is not good right now. I am waiting to find out my GPA to see how it going to affect the rest of my college career. I am trying to plan for working and classes and trying to get out in less than 5 years. We shall see if I can do it.

Don't Speak

Oh dear... the things that cannot be blogged...

Cotton and Vinegar Kind of Girl

My parents were in town tonight, saw my place, helped me with a few things and the like. While they were here, my mom and I were kind of 'comparing notes' on house cleaning things. She likes the 'new,' 'high-tech' stuff - windex and microfiber cleaning clothes. I tend to prefer the more 'old fashioned' cotton knit sort of wash things and clean most of my apartment with things like vinegar and baking soda.
She called me "a cotton and vinegar kind of girl" - she didn't really mean it as a compliment or as an insult, but I found it very amusing.

The Naming

To those who have asked, those who should know, and anyone who is interested, humor me for a few moments:
The cat has been named. (Yes, it is very Hebrew-esque.)

Name: Tsala

pronounced: TsAleUh
Ts (bets, nets, middle of pizza)
long a - ale (as in Ale 8 :) ).
uh as in... "uh"
Tsala.

Meaning(s):
Tsale (the same Ts +Ale) is Hebrew for shadow (/shade).
Tsalaw - side, ribe, supporting beam; the word used in the Adam & Eve story. she is my companion, it works.
and there are some other similar words that kind of tie in as well...

note: My philosophy for naming pets greatly differs from naming children. I hate it when people name their children things that no one else can pronounce/spell and will provide great frustration for the child for the rest of their life. My cat on the other hand, will not be bothered by what you call her and I will have the satisfaction of knowing I came up with something appropriately obscure from within my second language of choice. ;)

The story, for those who have not heard.

Saturday I got a cat from the Humane Society. She is a "brown tabby," is about a year old, has already had a littler of kittens (she was brought to the HS with them), and is very small.
There they had named her Adora. It really didn't fit her at all and I felt the need to give her a more personal (from me) name.
She is settling into my apartment nicely and is glad to have more than a small cube in which to live.
