• ...more on that later.

  
  

  having just finished my arabic homework, it is surprising to me how many people are in the university library on sunday night.  *procrastinators unite. 

  
  

  Good week.  Lots of homework done... lots more to go but at least I put a serious dent in the list.  Talked to some old friends.  You know those people who you want to be friends with and have in your life forever?  Yeah.  Let's all give Corey Wright and Jason Scharf a round of applause.  It was good to hear their voices.  Cheers to cell phones, even if they do die in the middle of conversations. 

  
  

  Had a beautiful weekend.  Thursday night Jess cooked an incredible dinner for her boyfriend and friend Brad that came over. *deep breath* beautiful conversation about lit. and philosphy.  David and Jess talked about authors and politics and Brad and I rambled about Deconstruction and french philosophers.  I must say, whatever the french lack, they make up for in philosophy.  Wacky guys that make me smile.  Baudrillard, Lyotard, Derrida... they remind me of my english prof Gavin Keulks... he is my favorite.  I want to drink wine and listen to him talk about High Theory for the rest of my life.  We watched "I [heart] Huckabees" and David squeeled whever he thought something was funny.  I am glad he and Jess love each other.   Friday I got fitted for my bride's maid dress.  Measurements surprised me.  In a good way... I don't usually measure myself.  Then my roommate showed me a coffee shop in Salem I didn't know about.  --Drea, you'd love this place.  If we've ever in Salem together again, I shall take you there-- We had great conversation and she beat me at checkers.  She's the champ.  But I kill her in chess, so it's ok.  I love her.  She told me that she wished there was something she could call me other than "christian" because she didn't want to classify me with the other ones she knows (she is not a christian by any stretch of the word), and I felt truely thankful that we are so close and that we love each other.  Interesting that sheri and I had that conversation almost 3 years ago.  Anyway, Saturday I woke up at 6 am.  Yeah.  Had a nightmare and couldn't go back to sleep.  And I must say that if it's been a while since you've read Ecc. you realy should pay the book a visit.  I grabbed some trail mix and extra film and headed off to meet Stephanie.  She is opening a dance studio in Sept. and "hired" me to be her photographer.  I had SO much fun.  Everyone laughed at the paintbrush I had in my hair to keep it up (hey, it was there), but I still enjoyed myself.  Payment was taking me out to lunch at Olive Garden.  Good deal if you ask me.  Came home and left cute little bags with bath beads and candles on my girly girlfriends' doorsteps.  And then I journaled.  Today... well, today I did a lot of nothing-- which is, of course, why I'm at the library at 10:00-- but Jess' friend bailed on her for dinner so we went out for chinese.  That's twice in one week.  If I'm not careful those measurements won't be so uplifting much longer. 

  
  

  Huge Congratulations to all of you getting married in the next few months.  ...crazy. 

  
  

  love you more than I san say.
