do you ever do things just to prove something. And not so much to other people, but just to yourself?
I can like who I am because I am an okay person.
I can spend 2.5 months in Mexico by myself because I am independent.
I can learn the accordion because I am smart and capable.
I can teach overseas because I am an adult.
prove, prove, prove. only to myself.

i like my friends. i pondered this through the sermon today.
april and i have history and i like how we can just talk to one another about anything. natalie and i have history and I enjoy our shared perspectives on social issues and love for music and weird humor. I also love my shared passion for mexico and people with stephanie, and I love how she seems really quiet for the LONGEST time, but no-she's loud! I adore Amanda's relationships with others, her ability to listen intently and understand, and her consistent snide remarks, in fact.. i LOVE those snide remarks. I like that Matt's sense of humor that I can play off of and the way he lets me call him a bastard and say mean things to him and he lets me get away with it. I like the way Tracy and I are becoming better friends and I'm happy about the things I can share with her and the things she can share with me (it took us a little while, didn't it Tracy?) And I'm actually okay with the bad time that Graham gives me- I wish more people would give me a hard time.
Overall, they are a great group of kids. And I do mean kids.
Today during the sermon the pastor asked where we would be in 7 years and I looked at April, gasping, pretending to gag, and said "I'll be 30!" how gross.
