i use the metric system
so i went to thunder in the desert tonight with jarrod and some of his friends from out of town. it was really cool. i enjoyed the variety of music and actually recognized more than i expected. one core performed multiple bjork songs that she helped arrange (several from dancer in the dark) which i thought was super cool. the fact that they ended up being the winners was even cooler. unfortunately, i lost a bet to jarrod on who would win, but i do believe the score is 6 to 1? lol
last night my cousin ann got into town. she's here for a week and it's always fun to see her. i know that quite a few of my friends met her at mhs graduation. well, she came bearing gifts which included 100 pairs of shoes (i am not joking and desperately wish i could shrink my feet to fit into them because as we were looking at all the shoes i felt like i was in paradise, only the wrong size) for my mom. so my mom, ann, amanda and i are shrieking about shoes because we're excited and susie and abby anderson drop by so they join in the festivities and then tristan and my dad are there so it gets to be a pretty exuburent group.........plus there was wine involved. so jarrod drops by, not expecting all of this excitement and it a bit surprised by everyone. my family then convinces him to stay for a movie and he gets to know my cousin (she's my mom's age, really loud and funny and over 6 ft tall) who proceeds to threaten to beat him up. i am not sure if he thought that was funny or was mentally planning an escape route. but he was a great sport and it was a fun evening.
today in govt we took a test, which was insanely easy. i finished the 50 question test in 5 minutes and got an A, the highest grade in the class and blew the curve. but the reason i brought it up is because one section of the test listed statements and we had to identify which political party would endorse such a statement. it made me want to make a list of my own political statements or opinions. so i did. and it is kinda nice to be able to look at the list and say "this is what i think. this is how i feel." i don't know why. i guess it makes you feel better after being harrassed by people who don't value you or your opinions for reasons out of your control.
i would like to say that i am sorry if i was harsh, but i had to honest. i feel so lost right now and i am not sure what step to take next. i am proud of you for what you are doing. but i didn't expect it to affect me this way. and to add to that, i've been having some weird and disturbing dreams lately that i can't seem to push out of my mind. i guess i have to decide whether to be stationary or keep moving.
i am surprised i hadn't written this yet, but i am going to a james taylor concert in 2 weeks and am really excited. my cousin called and told me about it so we're going to nashville.............
i guess that's it for now............i hope everyone has a good weekend!
