I don't mind you comming here and wasting all my time.
Today is a good day for thinking... It's kind of gray outside, but it's not too cold. I perfer sun, but atleast it doesn't feel wintry, you know? I feel like I'm moving in slow motion and I like it. I hate when life runs away with me... Well here are somethings that have been actively on my mind. Proceed if you care... If not then a) I will not be the least bit offended and b) it will only prove my point that LJs in and of themselves are fairly pointless and selfish things... Which, by the way, does not mean that I don't support them because as much as I think that probably nobody cares about what I have to say I do care enough about what other people have to say to read their LJs, so I guess that deflates me point a little bit... That and the fact that I am an active LJ user and so how strongly could I really disagree with them? I suppose that is a little hypocritical, but we all have our faults and this entire ramble has been more of a joke than anything else so feel free to disregard it as I'm sure you already have, which proves my point once again. Hehe that was a complete cirlce, I think.
Well, without any further adieu (not correct word)....
1) On my way home from theater today I heard that the Pope has died. In my opinion, he was a great man and he did such wonderful things for the Church and the world. His constant messages of peace and life were so inspirational. On top of that, I he was such a model of strength and faith to the world through his recent sufferings. I mean talk about will to live. I also think it is especially strange for our generation because we have never known another Pope. The news keeps reiterating what a charasmatic Pope he was and how he really made great strides in building relationships with other faiths and people around the world. Not to speak for everyone in my generation or anything, but for me atleast it is hard to picture a Pope not being this way. I almost feel guilty for not being able to fully grasp the extent of his accomplishments and everything. But with that said I am very sad to hear that he has died, but atleast he isn't suffering any more. All of our prayers are with him.
2) This morning I went to Dan's Dad's funeral mass with X, Britt and Caitlin Knip. I can't imagine what Dan or Liz must be going through. I honestly don't know if I could do it... It was so nice to see so many Feehan students and teachers there. I guess it is times like that when it's really nice to be a part of a community like Feehan. I hope they both know that so many of us are praying for them and for their families through the midst of everything.
3) I would like to preface this by saying that I am fully aware that I am a nostalgic senior who is greatly overwhelmed by the fact taht she will soon be graduating, so please bear with me. With that said, I have recently been very aware of the greatness of the community at Feehan. In general I find myself being pretty critical a lot of the time. I can always find somethign to disagree with as far as administrative decisions, the inconsistency and hypocracy that ends up hurting a lot of people, the dress code, the tights, the 10 cent fees/day on overdue library books etc... But in the past month or so I have witnessed so many positive htings about it... Not that these positive things obliterate the negative, but I have kind of seen that it is not the unfairnes and the tights that make Feehan a beautiful place... I am not saying that I have all of a sudden found goodness in all of those negative things I just named, rather I have found awesomeness in a lot of otehr areas. For example, Sister Pat is my hero times 124678976565487694857639580000. She is so loving, so accepting and so unjudgemental. Being aroundher makes me absolutely extatic. The way she can accept everyone completely blows me out of hte water. The other week when we went to her mass it was probably one of hte greatest things I have ever experienced. She was so touched that we all showed up and all I could think was that nobody deserves it more than she does... It is people like her that make the negative aspects of Feehan worth dealing with. Second is our class. SENIORS ARE AMAZING! We are so unified that I almost can't comprehend it... Whether we are ptting together an unbelievable Homecoming Rally, organizing a giant laser tag tournament or giving hte freshmen a run for their money when it comes to attendance at the school dances, we absolutely rule. I love you guys and you have made this year phenomenal.
4) I <3 Jiffy Lube. Yesterday I got an oil change and the men there were SO NICE. If I were stuck at work on a sunny Friday afternoon then I would not be greeting everyone with a smile and some cheery conversation. They were so genuinly kind that I instantly was in a better mood. Take about P.A.C.E.
5) I <3 Auntie Carla and the other Peer Min Officers... Monday I headed to the Tirrell house dreading picking next year's board and officers... I anticipated fighting etc. Nope, none at all. I feel clsoer with all of those people because of that. We got together, had dinner, prayed about it and hten jsut had calm, normal conversation, joked around, laughed, listened to eachother. It was so nice. I'm really gonna miss you guys :)
6) Hmmm college anyone? I have to make a decision soon... I wish GW was cheaper... I jsut can't aford it so I need to not think about it. As Auntie Carla would say, it wasn't meant to be I guess.
7) The play has taken a dramatic turn for the best. It's gonna be good, me thinks.
8) Norton's play rocked. It looked like so much fun! I really wanted to be one of the fairies. MARK DUNN IS MY HERO.
9) I need a hot date with Kristin Timmons soon.
10) I need to become responsible again. Lately I suck t deadlines and not procrastinating on tasks taht are not that difficult such as returning lirary books, getting oil changes, filling out scholorship applications etc... HAY DOHTSSSSSSSSSSS- YOU SUCK!
11) I really liked Kat Armstrong's skirt last night... I think it was from Guess, but after our long and confusing conversation about it I can't actually remember... Damn.
12) Gah, I feel this really strong sense of soemthign that is probably not a positive thing. Well maybe it is... I think it could be, but my timing is always piss poor. That's okay I guess... Wait it out.
13) My dad is in FL. DAMN YOU MICKEY DOHERTY. JK, he desrves it, he is the man. I will be there soon with my beloved KASEY RYAN, so that softens the blow a bit too.
14) Since becoming an active memebr of the YMCA I have really become more acutely aware of my body. I know that sounds really bizare, but it's true. I mean for one, this is the first time I've really taken care of myself in a while and it feels really good to do that. I think I am all around better off for it. Secondly, it has made me think about how much emphasis we realy put on appearence... Not to get deep or anything, but people with out of hte ordinary physical features (bad or good) are usually noticed for those before anything else... I don't think I have any features taht especially stand out eitehr way... That's okay though.
15) I have no money ever and that sucks of me.
16) I have a rapidly growing interest in going to concerts... Probably since it is spring... And Badfish and State Radio rocked my socks last weekend. I think I am going ot see Tom Petty and the Black Crows in June. 3 cheers for musica.
Well that is more than enough. SOrry to bore everyone. I love you with all my heart - the parts tah tI love other people with.
