The new Bright Eyes CD is more incredible every time i listen to it. It's so amazing that I actually Sarah, an avid Conor-hater. I've never been deterred, and I always make it a point to force her to listen to him anyways. This usually happens when I have her trapped in my car and I TRY to make her sit in silence to fully "appreciate" the Conor Oberst experience. I was finally successful YESTERDAY when I popped in "I'm Wide Awake It's Morning," because Conor decided to do some fabulous country-folkish sounds on this CD and it's the best and now Sarah knows it.
In other news, I may have allowed myself to be talked into the prom. Actually, I believe I have OFFICIALLY allowed myself to be talked out of skipping it. But that's how peer pressure works, isn't it? Making my do things I don't want to do haha...
No, I know it will be fun, and as I wasn't a big fan of last year's prom, I want to have a GOOD prom memory. And I think it's more of an issue of me secretly wanting to go, but no one has to know THAT.
I almost got hit head-on by a car tonight, and it was so scary... The car was going around a corner on summer street and I was farther down the road but even when it was near me, it still was in my side of the road coming right at me and it couldn't stop because of all the snow. So I was completely stopped with no where to go, basically waiting to get hit. That sounds really horrible I'm sure, but I didn't know what else to do, there was no direction I could drive in because there was a car behind me and a fence next to me, so I just sat there. Finally the car swerved and stopped right in front of me. After a few seconds it drove away and I was shaking and scared because I legitimately thought I was going to get hit.
There's this guy who comes into Country Kitchen and knows my parents and a few families at my church even though he's Catholic and doesn't go to my church, but he always talks to me and tries to set me up with his son. We always talk about books and recommend them to eachother (I heard about the Kiterunner from him, so he knows what he's talking about.)
Anyways, we were talking about books and he asked if I had read anything good lately. I told him about how I just finished "Finding Faith" by Brian McLaren and I loved it. Then he said "You just love Jesus, don't you?" and I laughed and said yea. The he was like "You're going to need to find a guy who's ok with always coming second."
And while that's entirely true, the whole conversation I had with him made me realize how much I really DO talk about my faith. He told me that I mention is almost every time we talk, and other people always joke about how obsessed I am. I guess I just never realized how much I actually vocalize it.
I don't really have a point, that's just a random thought.
I miss everyone. Especially DYC, all the loves of my life... I must see you all sometime soon!
And I miss Annie because I feel like I never see her.
And my sister and Cassie.
And Eric. Party. It's so weird how much things have changed this year.
I'm off to read my book. It's really depressing. It's about the genocide in Rwanda. It's actually what "Hotel Rwanda" is based on... but it's amazing.
I'm always shocked at how much goes on in the world that the US is so sheltered from.
