#LateNightFears

This is the presence just so you know.

When you feel the presence of a human watching you and are too scared to turn around so you begin to speed walk.

#LateNightDecisions

#1 The decision of whether or not to get out of bed and pee or fall back asleep and hope for the best.

Lets RUUUUUUMBLE!!!

O_O "I feel the earth.move under my feet..."

In these past two days Virginians all over experienced the rumble of earthquakes. Confused? So was I, don't worry. Here are the facts.

1. Started under Mineral VA
2. 5.9 Magnitude
3. Everyone in their cars thought we were having some kind of "car breakdown" apocalypse. 
4. Many thought train tracks had secretly been installed in their backyards.
5. Lawn furniture was dropping like flies. Tragic.
6. WAL-MART CLOSED!
7. Facebook newsfeed became a source with live Earthquake updates.

Now, this wasn't a Japanese or California quake, but for a state that doesn't get too many natural disasters, let alone an Earthquake, it was a BIG deal. And it was scary. 

Bucket list-

#15 Survive an earthquake (CHECK)

School Swag.

Game Face

Put on my game face and marched, yet again, into the halls of Community College. Today I met a crack head, a man who is not ashamed to burp aloud, three familiar faces, more unfamiliar faces, a young man who enjoys rainstorms, and a girl who gets confused easily. Dang straight I'm going to have superhuman stories to tell about this class.
One down, three more to attend.
Lets see how this week pans out.
..3..2..1 ACTION!

Real questions for real life.

Tuesday 6:40pm-At work.

Child- Dad can I have this? (points to a pack of gum)

Father- Son, one day I'm gonna teach you about gum. (pats sons head)

Myself- ....what? 

Family.

I am a very family oriented girl, I love them to death. Here is photograph of some of my family.

Jon(lil bros friend),Mom, Dad, Me, Harrison(lil bro), Grandma, Grandpa, Josh(big bro), Shauna(Big brothers fiance)

Cool Cats.

Allow me to introduce to you my Bestfriends. Emily and Haylee.

Me, Emily, Haylee.

Beach-in' it up!

I have been at the beach all week! 

Here are some pictures.

The ocean.

My older brother with his fiance.

This is our house.

Shark Week...

     This time last year I was enduring the frightening sleepless nights at the beach caused by Shark Week playing on the television.

Galeophobia- Fear of Sharks.

I was always frightened by these monstrous evil creatures, but I never thought I had a legit phobia till this morning when I tried to engage in the Shark Week phenomenon that has swept America... 
     So there I was, sitting on my couch watching shark attack after shark attack. I was feeling kinda dizzy and light headed. I ignored the strange behavior and continued watching the near death experiences. As I watched I learned that two "myths" that I held onto so dearly were "not necessarily true!?" Apparently sharks will hunt a little after feeding time (fatties), and sometimes they don't even care if there are dolphins, the will eat you anyway!? (In my mind dolphins are the Power Rangers of the sea) Then I began shaking. This is not normal, I could feel the blood leaving my head. I began to picture what I would do if a great white human hunting shark had leaped from the depths of the ocean and lunged my  helpless body into the sky with its jagged shark teeth. I could take no more, I was scaring the crap out of myself! I was scared, like "when it's late and you turn off the lights and shine a flashlight at your face while making extremely scary faces in the mirror" scared. I immediately turned the television off, and I sat on my couch thinking to myself, "next week my family, my friends, and I are going to be splashing around in a sharks front yard like it's the ball pit at chuck-e-cheese, with out a worrisome thought in our minds. I feel that if anything touches my leg, arm, foot etc... in the ocean I would instantly die of fear. Either that or I would turn into Chuck Norris and beat the crap out of every living shark that comes in contact with me.

Midnight

Fredrick: 

It's Midnight, you know what that means!

Columbus: 

What?

Fredrick: 

Come on you know.

Columbus:

No, I don't. What does it mean?

Fredrick:

It means....

Columbus: 

It means what!?

Fredrick: 

You mean you don't know?

Columbus: 

Yes, that is correct, I do not know so tell me what it means please.

Fredrick: 

Uh It means that...well

Columbus: 

What. Does. It. Mean. Fredrick!

Fredrick: 

Never mind.

Columbus: 

Unbelievable.

Some things should stay in you head.

 Yes I know that.

Finding your perfect book.

I have a two simple rules I follow when it comes to picking out the perfect book.

• If there is a movie I will save myself weeks of reading and just watch the story pan out in under three hours.  
• If I pick up a book and my fingers begin to ache after five minutes of reading it because it weighs ten pounds, I will simply place it back on the shelf.

Summer Class.

"...I'm gonna just cross my arms and lean on the wall cause I'm so cool"

HELLO THERE

Today was my first class of my summer semester. It's a religion class so it was only appropriate we share our faith. I must say it has quite a variety of students. A handful of Christians, and few Catholics, one Muslim, a few who don't know what they are, and 2 Agnostics. Going to be an interesting semester.

 Thats it.

Certainly.

I like the sense of certainty. Being so sure of something, with no doubtful thoughts whatsoever.
The "If-y" feeling in life drives me crazy! 


I know...
My name is Morgan Rae Burke.
I will always attempt to burn a toaster strudel and reward myself with a packet of frosting.
My fascination for Europe and british accents will never fade.
Looking out windows will always be a pastime of mine, along with sleeping in the car.


Now I know there is no real certainty in the future, but feeling certain about these things, as odd as they may be, are comforting.

Thoughts...

What if...
I was born in Europe...would I act different, or look different? What would I be doing, would I be in university or would I have a job? What job/career would I be pursuing? Would I be in a relationship or married? Would God be number one in my life? Would I enjoy doing the same things I enjoy doing here in America? Would I think to myself "What if I was born in America?"

I wasn't born...would the world be different? Would my friends and family be the same? Would my high school change at all? Have I made some sort of impact in someones life that would no longer be if I didn't exist?

I was blind...would I live my life more, or hide away and mope? Would I have the same friends? Would I pursue the same things I'm pursuing now? How would I picture the earth, or the stars in the sky? Would I no longer have a fascination with cameras, and films? How would I feel about never seeing my parents, husband, or children? Would I even get married? Would I still live my life for God or run away from him in anger?

I was deaf...would I have a love for music like I do now? Would playing an instrument become an unreachable dream of mine? How would I feel about never being able to hear the words "I love you" or hear my name being called? Would music no longer be apart of my life? What would I do instead? Would I read more? Would I be closer to God?

I lived my life 100% for God...would I be living like I am today?

Survey of Criminal Justice.

I am taking a Criminal Justice class this semester.  I thought it would fun and cool. My classmates are really serious about this crime stuff. They know all the jargon, and terms, and laws…I don’t. I just found out that a misdemeanor, is not a nickname (Mister Meaner). Yeah…. We were shown a video of a real murder case, complete with a man who had been shot, a murderer, suspects, detectives, police men, a dog with a keen sense of smell, and a sweet old lady who dissected the man that was murdered. This is legit stuff right here. It was like a real life CSI episode, in my hometown. Awesome… I definitely sleep better knowing what is really going down in my town. There are a total of six people in this class, including myself. So it can get little awkward. For example: A woman in the class made a comment about her mother in law, and the man seated behind me said, out of nowhere, “ My mother in-law has passed away. So she is gone now.” I turn around in disbelief…*Silence*

I am always mixing up my class schedule. Lets say a class starts at 2:30, I’ll get there at 1:50 thinking class begins at 2:00. The best part is that when the realization hits me, I’m in the school walking to said class. So I unknowingly showed up to this criminal justice class 30 minutes early. But unlike my other mistakes I didn’t realize this until I was in my seat, with my pen in my hand. Now I know your thinking “why didn’t I see the unfamiliar faces?”, well there is another “criminal justice” like class right before mine, and my five classmates are in that class as well. So I saw familiar faces and made myself at home. I was sitting next to this girl I had never seen before thinking “Why is she here and why does she have the wrong book?” She was most likely thinking the same thing. I noticed that the man teaching the class was not my professor and at that moment it hit me. I was in the class before mine. Class ended and everyone was walking out of the room. I looked around and saw five of my classmates sitting behind me. Great. I had to sit there for 15 minutes in awkward silence knowing these five people knew that I just intruded the class before ours. Lesson is ‘always double check your class schedule.’

The Hallway of Awkward.

     Hey there, I hope all is well. Have you done anything radically awesome lately? I have been reading a book about radically awesome things, the name of said book is, RADICAL by David Platt. I am in the process of getting my mind completely blown away by the words in this book. Yes it is that awesome!
     For the past two weeks now I spend my days, and some nights, in Community College. I mean it isn't as terrible as I built it up to be, but it for sure isn't a big package of joy wrapped in ribbons with a scent of happiness either. There are a variety of humans who attend these Community Colleges. The most intriguing to me are the ones who walk the hallways. Now I like putting things into categories, so I am going to sort these college students into four categories. 

    1. Face down to the ground type.

Now these people are the type that would run into a wall, or walk off the Grand Canyon (becoming a YouTube sensation) or collide head on into me. These are the ones who walk into the wrong classroom but have no idea because they don't lift their eyes to the things above the ground till they are seated. *Student takes out bio 101 book, *Other students stare in disbelief, *Teacher says "Today we are going to review for your Math 151 final." *Whaa?? Yeah Whoops! Tip for all of you who stare downward, Stop it.

    2. Texting in the dag-on hallway type.

These folks are very similar to the the first group of students. Only difference is that they are more annoying. They to have the chance of walking into the wrong classroom, except they often find out before they sit down and immediately after realizing their mistake they tweet/text/FBstatus about it so everyone will know for a fact that they walked into the wrong class. (Not gonna lie, but I would tweet it too) Also due to the fact that their eyes are not focused on the path ahead, everyone in their way gets trampled upon. *Girls tramples you, *You stare at her for a minute then the girl shows you her phone, *It's a text saying- OMG I AM SO SORRY!! *... Tip: Stand still while you text please, cause I really don't want to play 'Dodge the Texting Idiot in the Hallway' before every single class. 

    3. The (faux) couples....

I would place myself in this category. As you all know there are many people walking the halls of colleges, going to class and leaving from class. Some of the most awkward moments happen in these hallways. Let me set the stage for you. You just opened the doors to the college and are now entering. Suddenly you notice a slow moving man up ahead. So you slow your pace in hopes of avoiding the awkward side-by-side walk with a stranger. Then you realize this guy is a walking snail, so you speed your steps and attempt to pass him. Just as you speed past, he picks up his pace. And now you are walking side-by-side with someone who you don't really care to walk side-by-side with. Awesome.

    4. Rabbits and the Turtles.

All right, now seriously why do College Student insist on power walking to class. This is not a gym people! OK, you're walking down the hallway minding your own business, then out of no where comes this girl practically running through the hallway to get to class! You tried to move out of her way but her high speeds were just too fast and BAM!  You both are on the ground moaning. But before you could even get up, she shoots up like a rocket and bolts into class. Now you are left there on the floor while people walk by and take pictures and point. Then the Turtle walkers. These guys get to school like an hour early, and they spend that hour meandering in the hallways. Is that their me time? Can they go sit under a tree or something instead of hobbling around in the hallway? Let's say after you just got pummeled by the marathon runner you are now five minutes late to your class. Quickly you jump up and begin to walk to class (at normal speeds, cause you are not a speed walker!) As soon as the door to your class in sight...*brakes screech* You are now behind a turtle walker, but not just one, oh no never just one, it's a whole group of them. Every once in a while they will stop and chat. They are like a group of Eeyores that invaded the school!

There are billions more 'categories' but then no one would read it, and my fingers my start to bleed. ew.

Satan has a little minion..

...and it lives with me. Yes my cat (Oreo) was once the cat from Hell. One day she decided to be born, and became my cat. Most evil cat that will ever walk the face of the earth. Oreo and I have a love/hate relationship, I give her food, shelter, water, tender love and care, and in return she bites me and pees on every item I own! She has fooled many of my friends and family members into thinking she is a sweet innocent little angel. My parents claim that I treated her like a toy cat instead of a living creature. Oreo obviously hypnotized them. When I was younger I would always have some sort of scratch on me. By the looks of my arms one would think I ran through thorn bushes for fun. So we got her de-clawed. Oreo is an inside demon cat and has no practical use for her front claws beside attempting to kill me. They had to go. Her teeth are still being used for evil deeds to this day. This year Oreo turn 16. For the past 16 years I have endured much pain from this tiny she-devil. She may look cute and oh so fluffy, but don't be fooled...

Yay! Blogger is being a jerk-face and not letting me type out a post...grr

My Oh My.

(1-1-11) <-- I think that's really cool, does anyone else think this is awesome!? ;)

     Hello there, long time since I've had a written post. My fingers were starting to get a little rusty. Today is January 1 2011. I didn't have a very memorable January first, but I had a pretty spectacular 2010! I would have to write a five-hundred page book to describe all that has happened to me in the year of 2010. So I am going share with you my top five, in order from January through December.

1. I filmed An American Elegy. The effect that short film had on my life was incredible.
2. I became a high school graduate, also becoming a college freshman...
3. I started this blog, Sunny Facts.
4. I became a film intern for Advent Film Group. Worked on my first film set. 
5. I made/completed my first YouTube v-log. 

Each of these events have had a major impact in my life. I am excited to see what God has in store for 2011!

     Oh my I almost forgot, 2010 was the year I caught... Bieber Fever O_O
