hello there.

i'm sleepy.

today was one of those incredible weather days. it was the kind of chilly that seeps into your lungs but not your bones, the invigorating kind of chilly. i walked beneath a fall sky, enveloped in an autumn breeze, to a little twenty four hour diner right off campus.

the walls are teal, the lighting is quaint, the chefs hop around their little sphere in black aprons and berets that have been knocked askew. and the food is warm while my skin holds on to the memory of outside air.

and then i played the piano.

and then i sipped hot chocolate underneath an arbor. a lush green vine, still in denial about the coming of winter, twirls around the arbor's delicate frame.

i don't think i can imagine a more lovely afternoon.

*this entry is directed at you, HEATHER, since you are the only one who might possibly read it. so... whloo.

You can lay down your armor and have no fear

 it's been one of those days.

one of those days that inspires a random xanga entry that makes little sense to anyone but me. but it has pictures! everyone likes illustrations.

so i just finished my first year of college.

here is the illustration for my previous statement:

continue thoughts.

or further illustration:

moving on.

i talked to ms molly for a long time today.

here is a picture of ms molly:

good. so you can imagine what that conversation was like.

or not.

the conversation made me question my identity.

that's deep.

it made me ponder answers that are elusive

(this is where my computer messes up and illustrations are left to your imagination... think along the lines of a grove of trees in winter reflected in the window at the top of an old white door)

and mysterious

(think mountains reflected in a lake)

and simple.

(think a single white clover blossom)

these answers fit questions that i can't seem to articulate. it's pretty hard to answer questions you can't word.

which is probably why i still struggle with these.

i want to know Christ. who He is affects everything.

everything.

end random, partially-illustrated post.

hello xanga, it's been awhile

well, yesterday i turned 18

and today i ran six miles

and i really don't have much to say after disappearing for two months.

well, i think i'm going to interview to be a counselor at camp, that's something

and i have no idea where i'm going to college

and i really enjoy thinking, but unfortunately, it doesn't look like any of those thoughts will be making their way on here.

have a great day everyone!
