11:55 pm and I am in my jammies alone in my room where I've been lesson planning for I guess a few hours but the time went by so fast that I didn't really notice at all - I guess I just really like this lesson planning stuff. It feels really good to be by myself - I feel like I'm getting a chance to be a little closer to me. Hard to restrain myself from being entirely gross when there's no one around though - I think I'll keep my dirty dishes on my desk until the morning. Anyway I'm liking this at least for the moment - may be totally desperate for company by the end of the week. Although so far I've had lots of it actually - ran into Dan on the way back from the gym, baked with Jill and Rachel, having lunch with them tomorrow after Sunday School. Totally exciting. I think already I'm feeling better about next year than I was before this weekend. Next year = living in a single, and no Daniel, to clarify what I mean by having been concerned. I've gotten so used to always being with at least one other person I wasn't sure I would be able to tolerate my own self anymore. I'm finding that I'm pretty tolerable, especially when occupied with a good book, or something good to watch, or something interesting to do. We'll see how it goes for the rest of the week.
SOUNDTRACK TO MY LIFE:
So, here's how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool and no disclaimers allowed.

This would be an interesting movie, to say the least. Some of them work - Lachrymosa for a death scene, You Can Close Your Eyes for getting back together, I like the opening credits and the breaking up, too. The rest doesn't make much sense. It would be a confused film - but then maybe life is confusing. Does this mean that my life is to include several battle scenes, among other things? How interesting. I hope I get to use water balloons.
