“Instead of “Mom”, she’s gonna call me “Point B.”
Because that way, she knows that no matter what happens, at least she can always find her way to me. And I’m going to paint the solar system on the back of her hands so that she has to learn the entire universe before she can say “Oh, I know that…
“And yes, on a scale of one to over-trusting I am pretty fucking...

"You Never Marry the Right Person" →
“…As a pastor I have spoken to thousands of couples, some working on marriage-seeking, some working on marriage-sustaining and some working on marriage-saving. I’ve heard them say over and over, “Love shouldn’t be this hard, it should come naturally.” In response I always say something like: “Why believe that? Would someone who wants to play professional baseball say, ‘It shouldn’t...

world-shaker:
An outstanding collection of insight from reddit user lnri137. Here’s an excerpt:
You got A’s because you studied or because the classes were easy. You got a B probably because you were so used to understanding things that you didn’t know how to deal with something that didn’t come so easily. I’m guessing that early on you built the cognitive and intellectual tools to rapidly...

New Year Reflections
Because I do one every year, and it’s nice to be able to take time to think about it all.
To be written when I actually have time to stop and think about it all.

Random Trope of the Evening
What I did today since I had a lot of time on my hands - as odd as it sounds: Read Christian Feminist blogs trying to understand what they were trying to say about faith and sex.
Trying to process it all is mind-opening as well as confusing and messy. We’ll see where this goes.

Thanksgiving 2011
It came and went. Even though there are so many things to be thankful for every day, for some reason, the holidays just seem to really place them in the forefront of my thoughts,
I’m very thankful for the friends I’ve made, relationships built, successes, and failures throughout this past year. Honestly, I don’t know if anything that bad actually happened to me this year, it...

The Rest is Still Unwritten
Kind of has a double meaning. It can either be about what’s yet to come, or an unfinished blog post because there are so many ideas I want to put into writing but I just don’t have the words for. They’ll remain ideas that this piece or writing can only hint at.
Hence, the rest is still unwritten.
(At some point it’ll be recorded though)

I don’t know why, but I find reading about all these things rather interesting. It’s what I do when I’m bored.
Today, for example, I learnt how to use who/whom. Productive
See what we’ve been getting wrong this whole time!

A Quickie About Switzerland
Did you know that 3 of it’s cities are on the top 10 list of places to live in the world?
After visiting all three of them, I can see why. They all surround a beautiful lake, with rolling hills that protect them from heavy winds and rain during the summer. It’s been between 70 and 80 degrees this whole week and I’ve actually gotten noticeable darker cause of it hah.

Productivity
Since I’m leaving for Switzerland for a week this Friday, I’ve been in a mad rush to get as many things done as possible. On that note, I’ve been thoroughly enjoying the eustress.
Sending massive amounts of emails regarding Crossroads and Welcome Week. Why I feel more and more productive the more emails and planning I do? No clue.
Making lists of things to do and crossing them...
What Happens After the Happy Ending:
You have a stressful and annoying day the next.
Woke up happily at 11am to find out someone snuck into the apartment complex garage and decided to break into the two BMWs in the garage. One of them was mine. Of the multiple luxury cars to break into, of course he would try and steal from the most well-known brand; if I was thinking like a petty opportunistic thief, that would make sense....

3 in the morning, and I'm so....tired...
3 o’clock in the morning is unfortunately ruined for the rest of my life…
Anyways. Recently got back from a double feature of Cowboy’s and Aliens with Harry Potter 7.2 at a drive-in movie theatre. I liked both movies; I like the people I went with. Epically chowed down on duck and chicken that we bought before entering, as well as other snacks bought on a whim. Trollololed...

Awesome Day
Despite the cold foggy morning, the Berkeley Botanical Gardens was amazing. My group’s presentation on pygmy forests went well. It was hard to play and sing cause of the cold, but I really liked our adapted version of “Part of Your World.”
Called Christine and wished her Happy Birthday. (ie. Feel special because I called you). Wishing close friends Happy Birthday that are far...
