An Update and a Fun Fact

Oh my cow.
So busy. e_e
Homecoming is in three weeks. I still need a dress. Skits for spirit week must be planned. Chemistry homework and tests are murderous (one is tomorrow). Music Man rehearsals have started (thank goodness I'm chorus and only called once or twice a week). Kensi's birthday is a week from tomorrow.
Outside of all that, I'm still trying to read books, journal, hang with Lil, skype with Joel, blog, watch MAOS, freak out about Sherlock Series 3, and sleep.
My "brother" is currently in Zambia, and I totally wish I was there with him. Not only is he helping people and being awesome (his dad's a doctor, and he will probably be one when he grows up, so he does of lot of doctor-ish type stuff), he's missing boring Chemistry and homecoming drama.

Fun fact of the day: Ya know the song "How He Loves," by David Crowder Band? It starts with the lyrics "He is jealous for me/Loves like a hurricane/I am a tree" and blah blah blah. This always confused me, because I thought jealousy was a bad thing.
WELL. I was watching a YouTube video several weeks ago, and this guy (danisnotonfire, who I don't really recommend, but um, yeah) was talking about jealousy vs envy. And the definitions are this (these?):
jeal·ous  [jel-uhs]  
adjective
1. feeling resentment against someone because of that person's rivalry, success, or advantages (often followed by of  ): He was jealous of his rich brother.
2. feeling resentment because of another's success, advantage, etc. (often followed by of  ): He was jealous of his brother's wealth.
3. characterized by or proceeding from suspicious fears or envious resentment: a jealous rage; jealous intrigues.
4. inclined to or troubled by suspicions or fears of rivalry, unfaithfulness, etc., as in love or aims: a jealous husband.
5. solicitous or vigilant in maintaining or guarding something: The American people are jealous of their freedom.
en·vy  [en-vee]
noun, plural en·vies.
1. a feeling of discontent or covetousness with regard to another's advantages, success, possessions, etc.
2. an object of envious feeling: Her intelligence made her the envy of her classmates.
3. Obsolete . ill will.
verb (used with object), en·vied, en·vy·ing.
4. to regard with envy; be envious of: He envies her the position she has achieved in her profession.
verb (used without object), en·vied, en·vy·ing.
5. Obsolete . to be affected with envy.

The fifth definition of jealous is, I think, what the song refers to. He is jealous for me, meaning He wants to protect us and keep us with Him. And the song made sense!!
That's all. I don't even know why I just thought of that, but I did. You're welcome. ;)
