"You're the answer we want the world to know"
The world would truly be perfect if we all were like Jesus, wouldn't it? I think John Lennon's dream would come true.
The Passion06 CD has been in my shower CD player since it came out two months ago, but I haven't really listened to it in a while. I've been going through a more secular music phase, tracing back to my good ol' pop roots and discovering what's new on today's scene... haha. But just listening to it never fails to refresh my memory of Nashville and the unbelievable greatness and goodness I witnessed there.
I think that sometimes, I almost forget my faith. Not that I lose it, it just seems to fall and lean back in a corner of my mind. It's been happening more lately than before, perhaps some of the mainstream music has really seeped into my being... but I don't feel faithless. I still find it easy to talk to God and everything; still turn to him; still thank Him; still ask for His guidance. But maybe I should work on that more. I will.
So prom was amazing. And I know that it was all because of the good company I had during the entire thing -- I was with Ava, and our dates were so great. I'm so glad I took Zach, he's just fantastic. He and Dave took pictures with us and for me and Ava, they were so courteous and chill and just... I couldn't ask for a better guy to go with.
This is how much time Ava and I spent together this past week: I saw her last Friday, Sunday, and we were together Monday - Wednesday. We ate so much, watched a good amount of Everwood (which was so amazing), prepped for prom together, spent prom & afterprom party together, spent day after prom together... it was super fun and deeefinitely made up for all those times this year we weren't able to see each other.
Yesterday was senior day, which was lame because all there was was a dunk tank and this inflatable bungie chord racing thing. It was basically a marathon yearbook signing day, and it was really nice, I thought. Maybe it's because I felt like there were people who did get some impression of me, who I did establish relationships with, who knew/semi-knew what I am like. I read what they wrote later that day and almost cried. I think I was just astonished that there were people who grasped onto my character, and to know that I was able to touch people, both in the way that like.. I affected them but also that we made contact, that a part of my personality came into contact with theirs.
Tonight, after the SWS graduation, I felt a bit like how I did at last year's SWS graduation. (except there wasn't anything with Jesse having just broken up with me the day before) Everyone was around the tables, but I felt paralyzed and unsure of what to do with myself. Although I probably have made a place for myself in SWS, one that I most certainly didn't have at the beginning, I don't think I ever truly nestled in. It was just interesting.
And now my eyes are droopy so I'll finish this tomorrow.
