Luna Lovegood moment

Scene: Greeting at church this morning

Katie Pearls (the ditz): Good morning. Welcome! I really like your scarf. Yeah Harry Potter! Go Gryffindor!

Church visitor: Actually, it's for USC. ("you aren't cool because you still like Harry Potter" disgraceful glare)

Yikes! Well you tell me, any similarities?

day 199...luuuuvvvvvzzzzzz part 1

Droid Eris
(after a long hesitation, I have finally succumbed to the smart phone age; I guess I can now technically be considered a 20-something, since most everyone I know has one)
Love the Droid-Hate their TV ads
Love Verizon-Wish they carried Apple




The return of Mad Men on July 25th

(The only thing worth watching on television)
Please watch it! If you don't trust my taste and I wouldn't blame you, at least trust all the critics and awards and recognition it has gotten.

That's a promise.

day 99...of all the excuses

Day Charge Nurse dialogue
Katie Pearls dialogue

Katie, we're short-staffed tomorrow; can you come in early?
Umm, can somebody else do it?
Well, Silicia has to swing back to evenings the next day so she can't, and Rachel doesn't want to and we've called everybody else.
Well, I kind of have plans.
Silicia from across the unit- Katie can't come in cause she'll miss her first day of circus school if she does.
Oh well in that case, don't worry about it. But promise you'll bring in pictures.


Good news- I successfully beat Rachel in a heated game of rock, paper, scissors to not work extra hours tomorrow so that I'll hopefully be starting circus school. Thank you to a job in a city where circus school is a legitimate reason to not be available. Love it.

Is it social suicide of me to admit that I think this guy's cool?

Sundays in the Golden Gate Park...
(yes Courtney, I did just "THE" it)

day 74 1/2...it's not like i like litter or something

p.s. on my way home from work today,

there were pink package peanuts

all the way down my sidewalk.

I hope someone litters some

pink glitter tomorrow.

it made me

happy!

day 74...sacrilegious?

...I swear that I have not forgotten about this blog. I have however been trying to upload a video onto here unsuccessfully for the past week entitled Disco Sunday (that's right, get excited!) But I must find a tech-savvy person in my life to help.


...and I'm coming home in 3 days, 6 hours, 29 minutes, and 4 seconds. But it's not like I'm counting or anything. Or excited! Or rEaLlY, REaLLy, EXCITED!!! I better see you when I'm there.


(disclaimer- the following information is not to be used later as material to ensnare me, kidnap me, or make me feel guilty about not moving back to the South right now)


okay now that we have that straight.


I'm homesick.


and I'm not the "I'm 8 years old and away at summer camp for the first time" type. So it's been really hard, mostly on my pride.


Chelsea (sweet and hilarious Chelsea Brink, I miss you) wrote a few months ago that God's voice might very well sound like Ray LaMontagne's. Yes, I know that probably sounds somewhat sacrilegious, but I completely agree with her. I'm not even sure if Ray LaMontagne loves the Lord, but when he sings Shelter (his best song in my opinion even though most people prefer Jolene), my heart feels understood.


So today I want you to listen to Be Here Now (actually go ahead and just listen to every song of his you can find because it won't be waste of your time). I think it will be a blessing to you. Sacrilegious or not, when I hear this song, all I here is the Lord encouraging me, loving me, and sweetly and gently comfirming the one question I ask....to stay.
