| i can't believe it's been almost 8 months since i've posted. believe me, it wasn't completely intentional. does anyone else feel like some days you wake up and the world is moving in slow motion, and the next day you wake up and 8 months have elapsed? sheesh.
no promises about the frequency of my posts, but i will try to keep up at least a bi-weekly appearance. is that ok with you crazy xanga-ers?
i saw this movie, maria full of grace, a couple of weekends ago. it's about this columbian girl who is desparate to make some money and so tired of the constricting culture, and she agrees to transport cocaine to the U.S. and make a lottt of cash (by her standards) for it. the catch is, she has to carry it inside her body--she has to swallow these pellets that are about the size of a mini snickers (the fun size, not the mini mini), and she has to swallow a lot of them--more than 60!! and then when she gets to the U.S., she waits in this hotel with some tough guys who collect the pellets that she craps out...after she washes them with toothpaste. it sounds like a disturbing movie, and it is. but it's a pretty powerful flick. i mean, i know i'm so blessed to have been born in the U.S. (maybe Sean disagrees but there are some benefits to our capitalistic/materialistic/empirialistic nation), but i forget about the rest of the world so often...to be so hard up for cash that you risk your life and break a bazillion laws? man. i'm humbled and shamed with my apathy for people and my complacency with this life.
she's up for best actress at the oscars, i think.
hey! i discovered something wierd and neat about myself that i had never noticed before, and now i know what my next tattoo is going to be! if you see me, ask me about it.
sigh...i've been sucked back in. and i LIKE it!
peace and love to you all. | | |

| I'm crocheting a blanket, it's my first attempt at the art of crochet. and it's going to take my entire life to do this stupid blanket! i'm making my loops way too tight, so last night i finished my first ENTIRE BALL of yarn, and the blanket was only 5 inches long. i also made the thing way too wide, so long story short (ha i'm telling you a good YARN aren't I?!? ha ha ha i'm awesome) this blanket will consume my free time from now until the rapture.
the end.

| It's June 29th. Which means tomorrow is June 30th. Which means that tomorrow I'm going to Bushnell, IL, to experience all the wonder and splendor of Cornerstone. It seems as though the weather will actually be very pleasant this year--perhaps none of us will pass out from heat exhaustion and dehydration. Sounds like fun, eh folks? Seriously, if you have a free day in the next 5 days you should plan to come down and spend some time with 20,000 of the coolest people on the planet and check out some great bands. I don't care if you think hardcore sucks--get your patootie (that means butt) down there! Questions? Call me. 641-485-4401. I shouldn't put my number on the internet, but this is how crazy serious i am about cornerstone--i'll put my personal safety on the line.
by the way, no one should ever, ever, ever, see the movie "dodgeball." it is an insult to your intelligence and the purity of your mind. i'm not a prude about movies, but seriously, this one is all around just rediculously, gratuitously sexual. i laughed, but felt depressingly guilty about that laughter. save your time and your money.
anybody who is anybody should go to Madison, WI and spend some quality time there, preferrably with Michael Smith. Fun times were had last Friday! That city rocks and so does that boy. Thanks, Michael, for a great day and great conversation.
I'm planning a day trip to the Field of Dreams, which is in Iowa, a very cool place to say the least. Anybody interested in a country drive to a baseball field surrounded by corn fields? It'll be the time of your life, i guarentee that.
Whoever you are, i hope you are feeling good today, that the sun is shining and that you eat something that tastes really really delicious. Enjoy your day, it is a blessing to be used for His glory and delighted in!

| Well judson has decided that the summer resident crowd is much more corrupt than the regular school year one, so the internet filter is restricting a lot more sites now. including xanga. so unless it's between 11am-1pm, or 9pm-7am, i am not allowed to view any xanga action. which means, i miss out on much of what's going on with all of you. i love this college, but sometimes i hate this college...plus there is goose crap EVERYWHERE!!! those of you home for the summer, thank the good Lord you don't have five geese families and one duck family in your backyard. plus the fact that i'm scared to death of the adult geese--when they hiss i scream and run like a sissy little girl.
i babysat again this afternoon (for four year old Nicholas), and it struck me again how funny kids are, especially about going to the bathroom. Nicholas was sucking down a ton of Gatorade, and remarked, "If i keep drinking all this Gatorade i'm going to go winky winky all day!" winky winky...that kid cracks me up.
what other funny words have you heard kids put in the place of the usual bathroom vocabulary?
enjoy the joy. blessings and peace. | | |
