Things:
-I don't want to live like that house in the suburbs live.
-Do you think that when clothing designers see their clothes on people on tv or in media they get excited? I don't mean those big names like Lauren or Gucci, but the kind of people who design for the clothes in Target or Fred Meyer?
-Today I went to estate sales and antique stores with my mom. As we were driving down one busy street here in town I saw these cool, old brick apartment buildings that were really nicely kept. I told my mom how they were so cool. She said "you are a very special girl." My mom loves it that i love old things. I can't help it.
-I got all excited last night and this morning because there is a quilting group that meets every Thursday at a sister church. I told my grandma that I was interested in going, watching, and learning. She said that the women would be so delighted to have me, being a young a person and all. This morning I mentioned my excitement to my mother and she said, laughing, "no wonder you don't have a boyfriend". I responded "why not, though? I could make him a quilt!!". Apparently this is not a selling point when it comes to finding a lifemate. WHY I DON'T KNOW. alas. I mentioned I could also make him an apron and a skirt (cause these are things that I am making right now), but logically, I know that those are not appropriate things to make a boy.
-gas is ridiculously expensive. I've started spending the night at my house on campus to avoid using too much gas. I was happy when I found it for $2.35 yesterday.
-I went to a film discussion today. we talked about "Saved!". Interesting.
-could boys just sort of.. go away?
-when you realize that you are really going to live the rest of your life being poor by American standards.. when you finally grasp that, want it, strive after it, when you look to do something else with your life besides earn lots of money, your priorities start changing.
-It is frustrating to know everyone else's frustrations with the church. I feel like I've worked through it already. I want to be productive and useful, not bitter and cynical. Can't we be involved, serve, build a great Church body and not criticize others?
