lazy sunday

today i've been working on babes united: issue two (should be out soon enough), gathering things to sell in a yard sale, and listening to records.

today's thoughts

i think that if you live in a place for most of your life you cant really fully appreciate that place until you have left for a while. this is the case for me at least. today i was riding my bike through the streets that used to be a part of my daily routine, and i started thinking about how there are people who would be amazed by what i was looking at. i am lucky because i love my home.

cool

a while after we arrived at oriental garden today for lunch i realized that i was the only girl and that i was with 12 dudes. luckily marisol and payton showed up and made it a 2 to 13 ratio. haha... then they wanted to go see a movie and they were running a little late so i said i would drop them off on my way home. i felt like such a mom.

, moms

so far i am really enjoying being back at my parent's house. mom always comes in and pets the cats on my bed.

FINALLY

got my bedroom mostly set up and organized just the way i want it (very close anyway). :D

picture update

true love

i've been back in texas for three weeks now, and i am having an absolutely wonderful time. having friends the way that i do is a concept that before my year away i completely took for granted. it wasn't until i was in a new place trying to make new friends that i was informed, in a way, that most people don't have friendships as deep and meaningful...and especially not in groups so large. the people in seattle thought lauren and i were strange because of how friendly we are and how willing we were to help people we "didn't even know". being back around people who assume we'll see each other every day and being back in a place where complete strangers talk to me everywhere i go is an insanely uplifting feeling.
