"talk a little while about the year
i guess the winter
makes you laugh a little slower
makes you talk a little lower
about the thing you could not show her
and it's been a long december
and there's reason to believe
maybe this year will be better than the last
can't remember all the times i tried to tell myself
to hold on to these moments as they pass"
wow. it has been quite a year. I have really great memories and some rough spots as well. I am incredibly excited for next year and all the things I get to experience.

In about a month I'll hopefully be able to get away from all the stupid thoughts in my head. About him, about her, about me and what the heck I'm going to do.
Absolutes:
Go to Mexico for three months. Spend the last summer of my freedom living with my friends in this house, possibly a road trip of camping and Ellen in California. Graduate with a degree in human development and a minor in education.
Possibilities: Teach overseas? Teach here in the city? Teach in a rural area somewhere? Make music?
Everything else is up in the air. It has hit me recently that I am back to the same old. The uncertainty of ever dating is back to bother me. It was there for so long, took such a small break, and is back again. And it's the reality that this is the life that I'm used to. I think music can be my boyfriend.
whine whine whine, right?

create your own visited states map
or check out these Google Hacks.
now there's a blank spot between indiana and W. Virginia. We went to Washington DC when I was about 7 and I know we must have been to other places like maryland and W. Virginia because we drove. Whatever that state is, I probably went through it, but I obviously didn't remember any of it.

Why do good guys have to be married?
Why must it be so muddy on the walk to our house?
Why do i suck so badly at the bass?
It's nice to walk across campus and hear people talking different languages to one another.
This weekend was incredibly busy. Everyone in my house was running different directions. Stephanie and I went to a hockey game with her brother Friday night. I then watched "In America", which I loved. Saturday morning I slept later than I intended and then drove over to my parents' house to secretly work on the little presents for my friends. It is ridiculous how much enjoyment I get out of succesfully finishing crafty projects. I don't know what it is, but it makes me so happy. I will probably get more joy out of making those things than my friends will get from receiving them.
Saturday night my junior highers came over for pizza and watch my school's basketball game. oye. I have no words except to say that I will never be a youth pastor. Yikes. Saturday was church, ran home and did a little homework, went to my roommates' choir concert and babysat two little cuties last night.
I spent far too much time yelling at, arguing with, and poking fun at my roommates last night. We wrestled, i folded laundry and i stayed up past my sunday night bedtime. I tried spelling "Napoleon" for Stephanie while she typed. This is how it went:
Me: "N-A-P as in nappy head. Then O-L... as in.... ol? And E-O-N as in.... eon? Um okay that's bad"
Natalie: "How about O-L-E as in ole? and O-N as in on?"
Me: "uhhh.. haha.... okay, yeah."
then commence laughing.
