when i was younger, i went to the brooklyn public library EVERY weekend. either saturday or sunday, you'd see little nerdy karen at the library borrowing 20 books at a time. yes, 20. and i would finish them all in a week and then go and borrow more. the thing i remember most about those times was when i found books that were pretty new. you know...books at the library are all kinda old, and lots of people have touched, read, and spilled stuff on them before. those rare occasions that you'd find a semi-new book were the magical ones. they smell different...it's a fresh smell, kinda like the smell of a new car.
anyway. i like the smell of new books. there's just something about them that makes me smile and think about my inner nerd. haha, so what's the point of this entry? I GOT A NEW BIBLE! heh, most people think it's not a big deal, but i think it is. i've been looking for a new one, with a different translation (non-NIV) for awhile, yet hadn't seemed to find the right one until now. i like it a lot, and now i can spend time with the big guy AND be happy with my new book.
hah. stupid, eh? heh...whatevs. i need to stop spending time blogging and more time sleeping. camp is great, i love my kids :D
OH! i got an interview to the teaching fellows thing. not sure how i feel about it though. it's a group interview and it'll actually take time to prepare for it. also, i need to take two certification tests by august 23rd! is it worth it? aug 23 is also running roots...so i guess we'll see :)
before i forget. some of you know how i'm horrible with cell phones and keeping them unscratched/unscathed. well, today i was putting something in the trunk of my friend's car. it's an suv, so they have that little ledge, and i put my tiny little cell phone there. then i took my water bottle out of my bag and proceeded to close the trunk. i got into the car, then realized i forgot my phone in the trunk. however, i then realized that it wasn't in the trunk. i had unfortunately slammed the trunk door onto the phone, pinning it between the trunk and the ledge. ugh. now it's dented on one side, and i have a couple of the big buttons cracked. great. sigh. i want the new iphone!!!

so what translation did you end up with? I'm traditionally an NKJV guy (as in, I think I will always be loyal to my NKJV) but I've been using NLT for about a year now and I really like it.
i liek NKJV. i've been using it since the beg. of college. i really liek it but i do go back to reading NIV if i don't understand something haha. also, did you ever get the free book on every other thursday in bklyn public librarys?!? i used to go there for it haha it was awesome :)
i've been meaning to get a new bible too. but its hard to let go of the one that i have now. haha so many memories with it.
