Good times on Woodward. Good times.
Matt took me for a ride in his hotrod tonight. oh man did i feel like someone in a beautymagazinecombinationmovie. i always feel hott-est in a car -- espcially one going fast -- it's like you're untouchable, but yet so close in distance.
& I started a poem tonight. The first one I've even attempted writing all summer. It's coming along i suppose -- i started it as this entry and then realized it definitely needed some work. and oh -- it isn't about ireland. ;P (Those of you that are "poetry people" -- drop me a line and i'll pass it on...) i think i'm hung up on vocab and format. maybe tense/person too. ormaybejustthewholethingsucks. que sopresa.
& sometimes i wonder why i do the things i do. This won't mean anything to anyone but me, but it's that whole contradictory heart over mind kind of thing... funny how the one tends to win over the other when it comes to certain issues. and I don't regret it, I even look forward to seemingly unnoticeable things or plans, for my idea of good reasons.
& my room is a disaster. to the point where no one else is allowed in. i know it's late like whoa, but i am getting up early to finish laundry (amazing that after unpacking from ireland, being home for 5 days, and being in north dakota for 5, i only had 4 loads total!) and I need to begin the cleaning/packing process... (there's an optometrist appointment in there somewhere because yay it's time to get new contacts! dad says i need to take my electric chair to get used to it...meh)
&I move in on Monday! *stoked* It's weird though, because for once i honestly have no idea when i'll be home again next, so like, things really DO have to be clean and picked up and all packed. into less space then last year since danielle and i are sharing a bedroom. well, less of everything but the posters. ;) but the thought of being with that group of friends is a comfort i didn't realize i was missing, or took advantage of so much. the crew in eire made me realize my dependency on people of that age group, but the typical crew of the valley is definitely becoming a noticeable absence in my activities of daily actitives.
& graham told me today he's coming to my wedding. haha, now it's recorded forever -- um, except, i need a groom. krissie gave me a boyfriend deadline of my 21st. he gave me a year. really either would work. suggestions? ideas? comments? most importantly -- any offers?
& gotta put some things in the mail tomorrow. like, tons of things -- most of which aren't written yet. hmmmm. guess i'll be up even earlier. i'm really getting better at that not hitting the snooze 6 times. not perfect, but better. baby steps.
& couple of prayer requests, too. (I'm just covering all my bases and emotions i guess...)
-One of dad's roommies from seminary/a groomsmen in their wedding died and the funeral was today. not sure how i can help with all that...and um, pray for the church of the pastor too -- interesting comments made.
-the spunky intern Katrina arrived yesterday. Here's to a fun, challenging year. just pray for her -- she's gonna need it.
-Rachel's grandpa is sick. :(
-There're a few friends that have had awesome things come their way...J & K namely (neither of whom read this but names really are irrelevant), and they deserve support from all the right people. so for them, and for me, because i've been slacking.
-And definitely for a certain deer cape-wearing, deer deer cookie baking, Jesus deer loving, amazing deer deer deer friend Krissie deer deer deer deer deer deer who is moving into college tomorrow. you, my dear, amaze me. you follow God without a question or doubt.
