Hello my wonderful David!
Lightning crackles outside my window; thunder shakes my room. My just-add-ice orchid sits staring out the window, as if transfixed, while one solitary bloom turns its head to look at me, with its dragon-like mouth agape, as if screaming a warning. The effect is quite eerie. But I do love thunder storms.
Have you ever heard of Egyptian revival? It's a style of architecture and decoration, just like how we have Greek and Roman revival. I went to a church the other night that had a sanctuary decked out like an Egyptian temple. It was the strangest sanctuary you've ever seen. The walls were tan with red and green and orange geometric designs. Tall pillars stood at the front of the room, with elaborate designs. The stained-glass windows depicted scenes of palm trees and the sun and reeds.At the front of the sanctuary was a gigantic pipe organ, stretching all the way to the ceiling, with the wings of a bird adorning the top. The carpet was blood red. It was built in 1849-50. You don't see too many buildings with such a unique design, and I could hardly believe it was a church. Tell you what, though, I would LOVE to sit in there and be read the story of Moses. Oh my goodness, what a setting!
You didn't post last night, but I GUESS the fact that you were with your BFFL in the Emergency Room is a good enough excuse. So I'll let it slide...this time.
Mouseboy, I better read you tomorrow!

Remember the Alamo!...and, that I need to post tonight...
Hello my David!
I will admit, I almost forgot to post. What a shame that would be! I might be issued a challenge that I could then put off for weeks and weeks past the original time it was assigned. Oh boy, just think of all the time that wouldn't take up! Imagine how many other things I could do instead of actually accomplishing what I committed to doing back in April!
I hope your sarcasm detectors are going off right about now. I also realize that guilt is a sucky and often useless motivator, but yeah, I'm a little bit disappointed and irked by your lack of follow-through. Tsk tsk.
I've got some more indie bands to run by you (collected from my students):
Faded Paper Figures
Passion Pit
Miike Snow (yes, that's Mike with two i's)
I just got back from girls' small group. There were 22 girls there. Holy crap. We decided to study 1 John, which is cool, because I was in a small group on John's epistles this past spring, and also a bit disappointing, because I was in a small group on John's epistles this past spring. But there is tea and cookies and a Tim Keller study guide, so all is well.
I'm lonely. So to combat my loneliness, I'm going to write lots of letters, in the hopes of making people happy and maybe getting some back. Oh, speaking of letters, I filled out a change of address form today with the USPS. Stupid postal service, not giving me my mail. Marcia sent me a letter and it got returned to sender, very likely because the post office doesn't like to ASK and see if just MAYBE the addressee does indeed live at the location written on the envelope. Can you tell I'm a little upset? This isn't the first time I've dealt with that problem; once I sent a letter to Chris, but I addressed it to Jim Darkmagic, and it got returned. I was pretty mad, and I wrote in big letters on the next one:
Christopher Caporaso
a.k.a. Jim Darkmagic
Maybe you should ASK before assuming who does and does not live at said address.
Wow, this is a really snippy post. Sorry about that. I'm going to watch an episode of Doctor Who and then be off to bed. I've taken to setting my watch across the room so that when the alarm goes off in the morning, I have to get out of bed to shut it off. It's a rather brilliant idea, I think, and it works really well, although I cursed my cleverness this morning when I realized there was no longer a snooze button conveniently located on my wrist. But I was happy to have more hours of the day spent being productive. Or at least conscious.
I will read you tomorrow!
Love,
~The Princess~

Every cloud that should have passed overhead two weeks ago has a silver lining
WELL LOOK AT THAT.
Somebody forgot to post. For shame... I worked so hard to post on wednesday, pretty much prying my eyelids open just to stay awake. And for what? Only to have YOU, my GIRLFRIEND, FORGET to POST. If you read only the caps in the last sentence it sounds like you're dating a caveman.
Anyhoo, I FINALLY got into my class! I'm IN. And get this, all missed work counts as partial credit for up to two weeks after the due date, though honestly I'm going to send an email to my instructor and explain the situation and see if there's anything I can do about that. Had everything gone swimmingly, I would've been signed up on time but dumb sallie mae has to go and live up to their reputation and completely drop the ball. Sigh.
I think I'll read the 2nd chapter of PABIG tonight, seeing as you're out at Sacred Harp. Maybe we'll chat later on tonight; I'm anxious to hear if you conducted (I know, I know, but I can hope right?)
Love you darlin
Nezumi Kozo (look it up)

Your boyfriend is boring today.
IT NEVER ENDS. Still haven't been accepted into the class. Dunno what's going wrong, something on sallie mae's part I assume...
My day was ordinary.
UGH, I stopped typing about 20 minutes ago because I couldn't think of anything to type! We had chicken and dumplings for dinner, which was excellent. My mom made two different types; one made from bisquick and another from homemade dough. The homemade batch was like strips of noodles, which was awesome. The bisquick batch was a bread milkshake, which you'd think would be right up my alley, but no.
Hanging out with John was fun. Molony, Ali and Joey Pinola were also there. We played scrabble, watched some tv, ate some dinner and walked around the drive in behind their apartment. I never got to use my favorite scrabble word, saloop. Look it up.
Bed soon. My days are merging together again, which is not good. I have to find some way to break the monotony. Hmph. This isn't a real exciting post. Well...I guess not every post is going to be exciting, though mine as of late have been really humdrum. I miss you. I wish you were here. I'm gonna go to bed :P
Love,
Your Mouse (in need of some excitement)

Really?
David...really? You're gonna play the Holiday card to get out of posting on Labor Day? That's pretty lame, my friend. I don't know what I think about that...but I'll let it slide. This time.
In other news: congratulations on getting into the class you needed! Rah rah rah! I'm so happy for you! See, the loan people aren't so terrible after all. In fact, if we have a daughter, I think we should name her Sallie Mae. Isn't that pretty?
Yes, I am being facetious.
Whew! Interning is a full time job! Today I worked from 9AM to 10PM with only an hour break for dinner. Yes, that's 12 hours. I can haz sleep now? Tomorrow I'm helping Kevin stuff envelopes with his support letters, then I have a one-on-one at 12:30, and then I'm meeting with John Stone, my area coordinator (dun dun DUN!!!) at 2. And my freshman girls' small group meets at 8, and I still have a little more to prepare for that. Thursday, however...Thursday will be nice. I think Thursday will be my resting day, although I do have a one-on-one scheduled, but it's just one...so far, at least.
I've been super tired recently. I don't think it's because I'm always rushing here and there, and it's not due to lack of sleep. I thought about it today and was like, "But I've been getting like nine or ten hours of sleep each--oh..." Yeah, I think the problem is I've been sleeping TOO MUCH. And that leads to a cycle, because 10 PM comes around and I'm ready to hit the sack, and then I wake up at 8. I'm pretty sure I've past the point where I can continue blaming it on the time zone difference, so tonight I'm going to finish posting, and then FORCE MYSELF to watch an episode of Dr. Who. I know, strenuous, right?Anyway, that should take me to just before midnight, and I have my alarm set for 7:30AM. I function best on seven and a half hours of sleep. So we will see...
I miss you so much. I cannot WAIT until you are able to come visit.
Love,
~Your Princess~

94?
Hello David!
I've never seen Risky Business, so I don't know what you're talking about, but...and I hesitate to say this...knock yourself out? I may regret allowing that costume choice.
So, according to the official count of posted posts on the right side of the blog, this post is number 94, but the dashboard number says it is 102. Maybe we double posted, and deleted one, or something like that? Or maybe it's a crazy time zone discrepancy thing. Or maybe there are 8 ghost posts floating around our blog somewhere. That would be terrifying.
Speaking of terrifying--when I don't get to go on long anticipated clue hunts, I get ANGRY. And you don't wanna see me angry! It's not a pretty sight. You gotta getcha-getcha-getcha head in the game!
I have yet to adjust to the central time zone here. Either that, or I've just adjusted to a different schedule of early to bed, early to rise, which isn't such a terrible thing if I have nothing to stay up late for. It didn't work so well Tuesday night after large group, however, when everyone was hanging out at the Sonic, and I turned in early. And I don't anticipate movie nights going too swimmingly in that case either. We shall see.
I'm gonna shower and go to bed! The girls are hiking around Radnor lake in the morning, I have a one-on-one late afternoon, and then perhaps a trip to Centennial Park in the evening for some free music, and to see the Parthenon replica they have there--crazy stuff, man.
Love,
~The Princess~

So I'm just doing my thang, walking across the rails-to-trails behind Bosco's when a police officer on a bike rode by and informed me of a bear on the trails. I didn't think much of it at the time, but no more than 5 minutes later A BEAR WAS WALKING THROUGH THE ARBORVITES!!! On all fours, it must have been around 5 feet tall, standing on its hind legs...man, it would've been huge. Funniest part was after everyone rushed out to see it in the field, it wandered back into the rails to trails, and riding towards it was a guy on a bike, who soon realized just what exactly that big black furry thing on the road was, and promptly picked up his bike, turned it around and sped off like a madman. What fun!
Oh yeah, other than that my day was boring. I went out to dinner with the rents to chili's where we got this really socially awkward waiter who made the same joke a bunch of times. ("Chicken Crispers? We're all out. A clean knife? We're all out.") Food was good though, and afterwards we stopped by the dollar store and I got a sweet new pair of sunglasses for a dollar at the dollar store. They were wayfarers, which made me think I should be tom cruise from risky business for Halloween. Yes? No?
I love you, Goodnight!
