In Between the Pages

Saw a giraffe in a book at church today.

Don't much like Sundays. They're too busy. I go to church super early, come home for about an hour then go to work until Monday morning. No fun.

To add to my complaint, our cd burner is broke so I can't put the Sleeping at Last songs I just bought on a cd. I'm bummed.

Oh well.

Me off.

P.S. Can't wait for Sleeping at Last's December EP to come out!!!

Proof That I'm Weird

As if you needed it. The past 2 days I've been writing randomness on the dry erase board hanging on my family's refrigerator. What do I write you may ask. Well, I will tell you.

Yesterday I wrote "I once had a purple parrot named George. He ate chinchillas for breakfast at 7:26 every morning. And he wretched them up at 2:24 every afternoon so that the unicorns would have a chance to survive."

Today was "If the metatarsals of a flying squirrel come in contact with your hair when it is blue, rejoice! Because the color red. Too often we ignore the blessings rained down by soaring cows in order to observe the ostrich in its natural aquatic habitat. So appreciate cows and flying squirrels as they work in tandem to provide the citizens of our celestial body with the necessities of pencils and joyous apples."

Saw a giraffe in a Harry Potter movie today. Prisoner of Azkaban.

Still listening to Sleeping at Last somewhat obsessively. Current favorite lyric by them "The warmth of blankets; Makes me nervous; I'd rather catch a cold" (Bright and Early).

Me off.

p.s. I've been starting alot of sentences with "p.s." lately. I don't know why.

Me really off.

If You're Going Through Hell...

My best friend recently informed me that I've gone through hell and back this year. Lol. I'm glad she knows this. The sad, unmitigated fact of the matter is, its true. I'm not even fully "back" yet, really. But, as bizarre as it may sound; as much as I never want to do that again (that "never" still doesn't do justice to how much I don't want to go through something like that again), it was and is good. Well, God was and is anyway.

Insecurity. Basically that sums up my life since January. Yes, personal insecurity, but also the lack and falling away of things I've depended on as secure foundations. Friends, family... things I thought I knew that proved to be wrong. This is all things that I've told you before. I wish I could give more detail right now. I really have alot that I kinda just need to release. But I can't. Whether because I'm not sure how to quite explain certain things, or I'm just not allowed to talk about certain things, I can't.

I miss my best friend. So freaking much. My other best friend, not the one mentioned above. I miss our talks. I miss being able to tell him everything. I miss him letting me into his world, too. And I don't completely understand... I'm trying to trust that God has it all in control. And usually this isn't a problem. Because I know that whatever He wants is best. And this is typically ok. Sometimes, like yesterday and a little today, its hard. I was complaining about this to Bethany yesterday and she reminded me that its all "baby steps". Which is true. As long as you don't take 5 steps and decide you've gone far enough and quit. Again, though, God knows every step and way of man. This must be remembered.

Pandora.com was playing music subsequently that fits alot with where I'm at right now. I love music that does that. I've listed below some of the songs that were played, if you click on the ones with links you can see the lyrics.

On a random note. I found baby sock monkeys. I bought one. His name is Xachary Michael Xavier.

Giraffe sightings lately? Nursery, Walmart (it was chubby!), random artwork that I've encountered. They still happen fairly frequently. At least several times a week.
