reverie

Wow I cannot believe how messed up my head can be sometimes. Maybe it's because I dwell in hope. Maybe it's because I actually do believe that one day life will sweep me off my feet in an incredibly unexpected way. I don't want to go through this stupid dance again. How can one version of clarity come across so cloudy to me? And why do I keep putting myself in this place?

Hooray for 100 degree temperatures and spending half the day in my non-air conditioned car. :P I was at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf this morning, waiting for my boss and enjoying a nice ice blended pomegranate blueberry tea latte. A few feet away from me there was a girl, just standing in Coffee Bean curling her hair! I thought, now I've seen it all. Okay so occasionally there are circumstances in which you find the need to primp once you've left home & do not have the option of returning home. I get that. But wouldn't you opt for the restroom for all your hair curling requirements? So bizarre. The funniest part of my day: someone found my blog by Googling "signs your guy is about to propose." They were directed to this post. hahahahahahahahaha :) An answer to the comments: Steve, I believe it is the camel which personifies heat, though not as adorably as the penguin personifies cold. Jennifer, thanks for commiserating. Joe, your comment was highly am...

Shauna's here! Hazaa! Hooray! And all other manner of celebratory words! On occasion I like to think back on what my life was like a year ago. Aside from looking forward to Shauna being here, very little is the same. The friends I most regularly hang out with now, I did not know a year ago. My job situation is far better than I could have ever hoped for a year ago when I was still dependent on my parents' help. And I have found a church home. It's funny how I say I don't like change because I can't tell you how happy I am that my life is so different from what it was a year ago today. The journey's pretty amazing. Tonight was a fun girls' night. We ordered pizza, watched some Gilmore Girls, and made collages. It's nice how simple things and great friends can make for such a wonderful night. :)

To space heater with love, who knew you would find such use in June when it's been in the 90s outside? You bring me ample warmth in an office that has otherwise been penguinable. Don't get me wrong, I adore the creatures, but I wasn't made to survive in Antarctic conditions and seeing as there are no penguins in my office there's little sense in freezing. Raj & I wrote a penguin dictionary: Me: penguinable adj. 1. an environment suitably frigid for sustaining penguins: My office is seriously penguinable. Raj: penguinarium: The zookeeper had to fish dead penguins out of the pond in the penguinarium. Me: expenguination - the action of removing penguins from a habitat Raj: penguinautics: the study of launching or hurling of penguins. As found in the acronym for PASA (Penguinautics and Space Administration), the country's leading facility for low orbit penguin launches. And now it's time to go listen to some more Stadium Arcadium enjoyment and do laundry. Yay...

I don't have much to say right now. Sorry for not updating for 2 weeks. I had a splendid weekend, but now my thoughts are swimming about my head every which way. It would be nearly impossible to try to organize them into something coherent let alone witty. I will try to write something more substantial soon.
