"but sir, that's actually my backhair brush..."

just how far the east is from the west

it was kinda funny today
to have left my worship music on
left on a lower volume
while priyas laptop music was playing in the background
louder, and with clubbing/dancing music

it was a neat lil analogy
and put some things in perspective
and in a way kinda was able to
keep things in perspective
for most the night

yet even as your perspectives shift or question themselves
your body moves almost on its own
to do its best to blend into
a crowd of people
you dont actually know


it was fun hanging out with priya, michelle, hyuma, and jeremy =]
didnt get to talk to jennifer much, but she was sweet

it was nice dancing with michelle and priya
and sitting and talking ABOUT dancing
and other miscellaneous ridiculousness with jeremy on the side

i heart seeing priya happy < 3


"backhair brush, poopsie, and party platters of wasabi rolls.."

priya's bday in the beginning of the week was fun too =]

im so thankful for her

her and michelle both

thankfully, i was able to catch up with marni
ive left daniel a message, or tried to
i was able to have a good convo/be there for my sis today (thanks again for being patieent!)
i was able to talk to briggs and brian more about concerns on certain topics
stef and i were able to catch up
and wendi and i finally both know
whats going on in each other's lives
and have been able to connect, so well =]

and im talking to nabi more again, yay!
and more time to catch up with yuki

overall it all just feels..
very rewarding
is that the word?
just...really worth it kind of happy

that im talking to jeremy again is really cool
cuz the interaction is still the same

and being able to meet more freshmen
and really connect with them more
has been
pretty much amazing =]!

steven talks and interacts with me now like we've been friends before
the freshmen girls were sweet and really wanted to come hang out
jesse is awesome and also sincerely just wants to hang out
same with renata--who i just found out was in segundo WOO
oh yeah, steven wants to go rock climbing

God keeps making lil connections or chance meetings
from old to new friendships,
learning to be more comfy around some people,
to random encounters and new friends even just on the bus

im just..
really happy
and excited for all that He's doing


!!!
OH

and we ran into RAYJAY and MASTER MAY =D
they actually -want- to hang out
and gave me their phone numbers
and asked for mine too

in the same day i ran into another dorm friend
and we all wanna eat pizza together
which would be amazing

and already dana wants to plan a fancy sushi night < 3

..maybe i can bring a friend =]

today was just
really nice, i think
in general

and a very good
very necessary rest day

i..
love the arboretum


i love benches,
wooden or yellow.

i love grass,
even tho it grows on dirt.

i love ducks, dinosaurs, and--eff
even tiny, grey, jumping spiders =P

and even more so, i love
tiny, white flowers
with yellow centers
...and now broken stem
(accident!)

it's about being satisfied with what God has blessed you with."
