woah.

yep. there are no words.

people actually buy into this?

i keep hearing all of this crap about stereotypes..."new quiz:what stereotype are you?...what stereotype guy/girl would you date?" omygoodness i think i'm gonna THROW UP. stereotypes are such JUNK. why do people follow them? why do they allow themselves and their friendships and whatever to be defined by them??? aaarrrgh!!! note to those who believe in stereotypes: do YOU fit one particular stereotype?? can YOU be categorized??? YOU are an individual, with unique qualities belonging to yourself, that is the way God made you, UNIQUE. special. a masterpiece. it's brilliant, really. and guess what??? the rest of us--we can't be categorized that way either.

**steps down from soapbox.**

"windowsill...cinderella...apple dumpling..."

"life is mysterious...and a search for causes often brings about unusual results, just as potatoes occasionally resemble eminent statesmen."

people ask me now how i'm doing...and i don't even know what to say. what i want to say is...do you have time for coffee? or how about i write a novel about it and give that to you? i usually just say i'm doing fine. truth is things are wonderful, and strange, and sometimes awkward...and just moving so incredibly fast. i guess that's just how it feels at this time of year...graduation coming up, contemplating college and whatnot. i've got so much on my mind--maybe i should just sit down and write a book about it.

you really want to know everything that's going on in my life??? call, or we can go to coffee, or something...this summer i know i'll have more time to just sit down and talk. tho i do have plans to visit my brother in nashville, and of course in july there's holland trip! and orientation june 1st-2nd. other than that...who knows what awaits me. my life this summer is somewhat an open book and i like it. it intrigues me to see what could be thrown at me last minute. sorry, i'm babbling. bye!
