eeeee.

Okay- so i've been looking for a "funky" chair for my dorm room this next year. I'll be living in a double room by myself so i have extra room. I wanted some kind of funky chair in my room but i wasn't quite sure what I had in mind.

Some people read that we passed up a sweet deal on a red vinyl armchair that was really cheap. we decided to wait to the next day at the garage sale where it would be half price. By the time we got there it was gone.

Tonight my parents were going to an auction (as they often do) and i decided I would tag along. And there it was... in all its glory.

Now i must admit that this is a little odd. And it's going to definitely attract attention, but the best part about it is that it actually WORKS. It even has 3 temperature settings, and when you pull the visor down the air immediately starts. Oh yeah- it's got a little lever thing on the side also that flips out the foot rest.

Yes. I bought an old salon hairdresser for a chair. I'm deeply madly in love with it. It's all white, and everything works. The head on it even swivels so that i can move it around when I don't to uh... be blown on.


This obviously isn't it (since i just got home from the auction) but this is the closest thing i could find on Ebay. Mine is white, and not exactly like this- but this is the era and look of it. Oh- and mine has a much higher back and sits higher.

heehee. and only for a whopping 24.75!

this is one of those nights where i feel like i don't belong anywhere. i don't fit in. i don't have a place.

these feelings resurface every few months after i see other people actually have a place. then i feel out in the middle of nowhere, atop a tree, looking down on everyone else and their socializing.

i thought these feelings would go away after high school. but i suppose they'll last the rest of my life.

Prediction: the next big heavy feeling of this will hit in early September, if not sooner. If not a permanent distraction when i go back to school.

something tells me... i don't belong here.

I think I need to lay down and cry.

Let's see....

yesterday april, michele and I made it over to the carolines concert in the park. It was pretty fun. we took a picnic lunch and just relaxed. We saw Aaron Shepherd play, and then another band, and then the carolines (and then we lefffft there before the nu metal band got up to play). It was a fun thing to fill my afternoon.

Church was pretty great today, though I had to sing a duet with my mom, and I HATE performing like that... I was shaking the whole time. It went fine.. but grr.. Then we shared about our trip to Mexico which went really well and everybody complimented the group on it.

My two favorite parts about church this morning:

1-Dustin used "Gone" by Switchfoot in our slide show. C'mon- Switchfoot playing in church? I never thought it would happen.

2-Our congregation laughed so much this morning. It was a release, it was fun, it was fellowship. I'm glad my church is the kind that can crack jokes and laugh together.

I got my nichole nordeman cd back from April (after about FOUR FREAKIN' MONTHS!!) and i'm loving singing along all over again. This woman writes so honestly... she speaks things that I didn't think people sung about in CCM. She writes so many things that the Church needs to hear.

I have nothing to do today. I HAVE to go running tonight. I have to be at a job at 7:45 tomorrow, and i really don't want to get up at 5am. And i didn't run this morning because I got creeped out at the track, but that is a whole other story in and of itself.

"When someone else's education
plays upon my reservations
I'm the first to cave, I'm the first to bleed
If I abandon all that seeks
to make my faith informed and chic
would you, could you show yourself
to me?"
