Crush Update

Do you know what it feels like to like someone so much that you want to be wherever they are?

Whatever they're doing, you want to do it, too.

If they like raspberry gelato, you like raspberry gelato.

You dream about your dinners together and all of the laughter and joy...



That's how I feel about Cameron's brother and sister-in-law.

Can you have a crush on a couple?



I almost bought them a valentine's card the other day.

Stupid Girl

I was re-reading everything, and I realized, "OH MY GOD"

That's what it sounded like in my head, at least.

Oh, my God.

There was never anything there.

It was all in my head.


Aaagggghhhhh.
Ugh.
Ick.
Erg.

Idiot!





{Moment of extraordinary gastrointestinal & psychological discomfort}

And then:


Oh well.
Moving on.

I heard that the new season of LOST will be really good.

Paralysis

Sometimes it's good to get things off your chest.

Then it's done and you can enjoy the rest of your day.



I watched a romantic comedy tonight about accidental love. It wasn't very good. Both of the actors were pretty shoddy, in fact. But it's cold outside and I don't have a job to go to in the morning, so I let myself suffer through the bad parts.



First thing I need to do in the morning is find a job.
And get a Jillian workout video to make up for not having a gym to use.

And make breakfast.
That's probably the very first thing.

No, coffee. Coffee is the very first thing.


I'm paralyzed by my priorities, people.

Gluten Free Blogger

My friend Lisa has been going through a lot of physical things this past year and has now started what will be an awesome blog!!

Check her and her gluten free self out!

Amateur With an Apron

Yay!

For Something A Little Lighter

It's probably good to follow up a few serious posts with some light-hearted writings.

Firstly, it's part of my nature to be soulful and melancholy.
Secondly, I've always had a spot in my heart for ridiculous adventures.
Thirdly, out of sight, out of mind. Problems are only as big as the space you give them in the room. And at the moment, I'm in a room full of strangers and the only problems I have in front of me are the obscene lack of food being sold at Bongo Java on Sunday nights and the sad fact of having no more date-planner room left to start an awesome new year.

Shelby and I sat on her bed tonight exchanging secrets. We both are planning on having a fantastic new year, full of excitement and travel and new things. Both of us are glad that 2009 is over over over.

I'm going to apply to grad school this year. And by next year I'll be finding out where I will spend the next five years of my life. It won't be here in Nashville, that's the only thing I know for absolutely certain. It will be the newest experience ever. I'll be a grad student. Working on my PhD.

What the heck?
Who am I?

And that's something else. I can be anyone I want to be, do anything I want to do. I want to volunteer with children's charities and work on my physical endurance so that I can do some of the weirder yoga poses I've seen in the magazines at the school gym. Things like balancing on your head and stuff. I can fall in love again with life, because I have this thing where I get so caught up in another person's needs and interests that I forget what it's like to be myself. And then I resent them for awhile. But after all of that's over, I forget them and I go on about my business of working out the kinks in my own life. So I'm back to that now.

So yeah, 2010. We're ready:

Working out the kinks.

Falling in love, maybe.

Breathing deeply again.

Forgetting all that is behind.

Eating less sugar, naturally.

Living in worship to God.

Moving On

I'm moving on with my life.

That's what 2010 is all about.

Out with the old and in with the new.

May God purge the dross from my life starting...


NOW.

Welcome 2010

I'm on a plane again. An auspicious way to start a new year. We're headed to Chicago for a stopover before Nashville and the pilot just announced that it is 7 degrees Fahrenheit in the Windy City today.

Welcome 2010. I don't know what you have in store for me yet. Maybe I was more sure last week when everything made more sense. Just a few days ago I knew what I wanted in the new year. Now I'm not so sure.

It's hard to understand what I feel right now. Perhaps my heart is damp after the rain. Maybe it has been filled and emptied out at the same time.

This is an uncertain first step into 2010.
