living the dream

1) "He picked the wrong girls to get in a toilet paper standoff with." -my roommate, re: our bathroom-sharing bouncer and the fact that we haven't had TP for about a week, which may or may not be influencing the fact that i have been spending a lot of time at the boathouse, school, library, or at cafe 976 recently.

2) "Stand there like you're trying to make money," novice coach to the Jrs. on how to correctly do a squat. (Picture a 25-ish year old man telling this to a bunch of 13 year olds. Also he has a thick Spanish accent. He followed this up with "Drop it like it's hot.")

3) Meal for dinner almost every night this week: split peas with salt, pepper, ketchup, sriracha (cock sauce), and a fried egg. Carbs via massive amounts of chocolate milk. Gotta work on the nutrition thing.

4) I am in love with the feeling of moving a boat across the water. Really, it's like when you have an eighth-grade-style crush - you try not to think about it too much, but it keeps popping back into your mind and making you smile when you are busy doing other things like being in class or church. Additionally v. excited about possibility of helping other people to someday also have this awkward problem.

5) Speaking of church, I started playing violin at St. Brigids this weekend and it was basically the funnest thing ever. The choir director talks about Guinness a lot, is tall with blond hair down to her waist, tan and tattooed, and a grandmother. She looks like she's about 30. Her daughter is in the choir too, and I met the grandkids today. I separate faith and religion in my life and although I'm not religiously faithful, I have recently been faithfully religious, just because the church makes me feel at home. I mean, you do something every Sunday for 17 years and it kinda provokes that feeling. It's nice to play music with a lot of people too, and feel like I'm part of something.
