Open up your media player. Load up all your MP3s. Set it to random. List the first 20 songs that play. No cheating. Bold the ones you find the most embarrassing (if there are some). Italicize your favourites. Underline your least favourites. Post your list in your journal so that others can mock and scorn and laugh and be nice and comment. :)

Funny how all of these songs I actually listen to.. I have so many in my iTunes that I've never listened to before... and also weird how none of these are about God. That usually takes up a lot of my listening time.
So this weekend, my English homework was to take 1/2 hour two days this weekend and do nothing. Yesterday, I walked around my neighborhood before hopping on the bus to see "Eight Below" with Kendra, Anna, and Mina (more on that lovely time later) and it was very nice. But today, I walked around the Public Gardens and it was one of the best times I've spent alone in a while. I really hadn't walked around by myself in a while, and it was so great. (btw- I've decided that I like the Public Gardens more than the Boston Common.) There was a while when I was following this man who was walking his golden retriever puppy, and it was the cutest thing I've ever seen. And it was so amusing to see everyone who passed it coo and look devotingly on it, usually going "Awww look at the puppy!" It was adorable.
And then I just walked around and there were so many couples, it was like.. couples' day or something. But instead of making me feel badly about myself for not being a part of a couple, I felt happy! It was so nice that there was so much love around me. I loved seeing people hold hands (although I did wish I had someone with whom to hold hands as well). There was this one couple who was in front of me before, and they weren't holding hands, and I was just watching them and thinking "Hold hands! Hold hands!" And then I saw the guy reach for the girl and missing. I smiled, and then they both reached for each other and clasped their hands and I smiled again. It was just gorgeous out. And I loved catching bits and pieces of people's conversations (no, I was not eavesdropping, I was tuning in and out, like flipping through different radio stations, haha) it was like I was just traveling through... life.
Last night, Eight Below was fantastic. I want an Alaskan Husky now. And if I could have Paul Walker in the package, that'd be nice too. Whenever there was a scene with him and that girl (whose name is Moon or something.. quite interesting), I would always think "Imagine just.. touching Paul Walker and acting with him. That's what that unknown new actress girl did." I had to change my desktop background to Paul Walker. I couldn't resist. Just look at him: http://www.coolbuddy.com/wallpapers/maleceleb/paul_walker05.htm.
Okay, sorry, enough.
So after these past two days of such great dog moments, I've just all of a sudden been a changed person! All my life I've never been a huge dog person.. but I just really want to become one now. Anna, I think part of the reason is you and your lovely Pippy. You should give Pippy an extra treat today for converting me. I truly hope to marry someone who loves dogs. Then I can have them around, but not really need to be as devoted/responsible as my counterpart. That would be amazing. I want to sleep and hold my lovely Alaskan Husky, but not always need to take it out on walks in the freezing cold. I told Cheng this today, and she was shocked and happy. Because she and Veronika, my best friend from middle school, had always been dog-lovers, and I was left out of that commonality. And I just want to love dogs now. They're so wonderful. But I just don't really like it when they lick me. haha
I'm talking to Colleen right now and it's just amazing the things she's telling me. I've always known she was Catholic.. but I never knew that she had grown in her faith.
csdev46 (11:25:22 PM): and i've also not really studied other religions and faiths in a lot of depth
csdev46 (11:25:36 PM): but i just don't think anything else could just make such perfect sense to me as christianity
csdev46 (11:30:20 PM): and most of all, regardless of whether or not i'm "right" about god and say he doesn't exist, this religion still makes me feel good and still gives me purpose and causes me to try and be a better person
It's just really cool that she goes to my school. :)
