It's not who you are inside. It's what you do that defines you.
I think life would actually be swell if I could go home for Thanksgiving and just stay. Through at least the beginning of 2nd semester. I have to ask for your prayers because things have lately just been really discouraging for me in a lot of ways--I'm frustrated with mostly everything around me, even things that have brought me a lot of joy in the past, and I don't want to be around any of it. Other than to just keep praying, I don't know how to handle the things that have got me down, but it's very hard to be here, being frustrated, particularly when it would be so lovely to be home with your best friend. Don't get me wrong--I have AWESOME friends here. I mean, the kind that you can do absolutely nothing with and still be perfectly content. They're better people than I deserve. But there are just so many things going on in me that they can't magically fix and it's not like being at home could either, except that maybe it could, because then I wouldn't be around so much of it, but a lot of times lately, I just get super irritated super easily and want to just leave. Crank up Richie Cunningham and get the heck out of Dodge. And yes. Other than prayer, I don't know what to do about this. So if you could contribute your own prayers to my cause, that would be just stupendous.
In more joyful news, I saw the Dark Knight for a 5th time this weekend with KtS, KtB, Brandy, and Kevin. I think this time was better than the last 3 times I've seen it. For some reason, this was the viewing where it suddenly just all clicked and made sense to me. I mean, there just aren't many more brilliant movies out there. Every single person in that movie is just phenomenal. I'm watching Batman Begins right now, actually, and it's pretty fantastic itself, but the Dark Knight even blows IT out of the water. Incredible. Commissioner Gordon. Gary Oldman. Love.
I should go clean up and start packing. I haven't decided yet if I'm leaving for home Tuesday night or Wednesday morning, and I probably will not decide until Tuesday night. But it'll be good to be prepared for either case.
Parting shot: Try Barney's coffee in the flavor called Santa's White Christmas. Also try the ice cream of the same flavor. Freaking incredible. I don't know where you can get it around here (Publix sells it in Spartanburg), but if you should happen across it, snag that junk.
