here i go blabbing again...
yesterday was nice...
mikey and i went to an asl storytelling hour at borders and i honestly thought it was really interesting. it amazed me, as dumb as this sounds, to watch the little kids and see their reactions to the signs the people were doing. i don't know why but it's neat to see that they truly understand. i want to learn it and can't wait to take it next year. and someday i am going to teach my kid, though mike wishes for a deaf child i'll take an educated hearing one. ha
the rest of the day was good as well. it felt so good to go and lay in the sun considering it was the first time in weeks it seems since i had seen it. just laying and reading and snuggling and frisbee. sounds like a good day. even on the way home it finally felt like summer, the cool breeze through the window and the sweet smelling air, complete with sunburnt back :)
i want to keep a box full of power bars or something in my car so that when i see homeless people on the sides of the road i can give them food. i didn't have any this time and i was sad.
sometimes all i have to do is pretend that i haven't seen you in weeks and it takes a split second to make me smile again. i'll just have to remember that.
consider this:
the biggest problem dealing with humankind is not sin, it's ignorance. the way to get closer to God is not by purging your sins, but gaining knowledge of the world around you, yourself, and others, thus learning more about God. quite an interesting thought and one i like, a lot.
it's fascinating to discover and find new ways to look at the world. maybe someday all this searching will bring me to completeness.

it's funny to me to look at who i am with and to try to piece together just how we got here. i never would have said in my wildest ideas that the dream guy for me would be covered in tattoos, piercings and was attempting to change the world, somehow. i always expected to find a normal guy, one that would take care of me, treat me nicely, love me blah blah. we'd meet in college, fall in love, get married in a little christian church, have kids, travel, and so on. now that i have such an inspiring, unique, and utterly amazing person and friend to share my life with i could never go back. i look at the way he has changed me, the way he has taught me to really look at my life, my beliefs, and to create a world that i would be happy to call my own (if that even makes sense), and i realize that even if we are not together in the future i have been changed and so have my standards in a life partner. interesting, though i am not worried about having to find a mikey-replacement anytime soon. haha
your life doesn't have to be boring. it doesn't have to be what other people say it should.

i'm trying to find myself...i'll let you know how it goes

so Da Vinci Code was basically one of the most amazing books i have ever read, with angels and demons (the one before it) at a close second. i love the thrill of it and all of that, but what i really love is the way Dan Brown ties in history, art, and theories to form a piece of work that makes you question your life and wonder if it really is the way it seems. life is not what we always believe it to be, things are not based on what we once thought. in history there are secrets, conspiracies, and most importantly interpretations (be they skewed or not, though most interpretations that we are taught in our early schooling are), and there are fiction novels, so just breathe everybody. either way, the book brings up good questions and possible explanations for things long unexplained. it's a new look on a controversial subject anyway, and i like it. read the book, research, take a world history class, or a religions class, do something so that if you care enough to take a stand on it you are not completely ignorant.
