A quick ode to the things I like
Today the ode is for books and the internet:
Books have always been the inanimate object BFFs. B/c I had books, I got through some pretty rough spots in my childhood, my imagination grew along with powers to dream and think anything could be possible, and I grew more intelligent. As an adult, they keep my brain from becoming stale. I keep learning things, even when I'm not in college (am reading a book about the hunt for John Wilkes Booth and it's fascinating). They've also been a real release valve for me during the difficult times recently. Hooray for books!
Also, I'd like to thank the inter-tubes for existing. Again, I can learn about anything I want. I've met life-long friends and made pen pals. In addition to corresponding with the people I need to, I'm talking to complete strangers. (A new book-buddy who's a rock musician in L.A., an artist in Australia...) How interesting to converse with people and learn about new cultures! Hooray for the internet!
Aside from this, a much needed nowhere-to-go weekend. I think the only excitement was getting delicious sushi and going to church and being savaged cuddled by six year olds. Otherwise, same ol' stuff. The minions need duct-taping through -- They can tell the end of the school year is nigh. Seven more school days and 1.5 teacher workdays and it's all done here. "And the future was wide open..." - "Into the Great Wide Open," Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
Anyone local that can fix my computer? Ping me! I'm off to get my back put back together...
