a quick update:
i am doing sing song for ko jo kai from 8-11 on monday, wednesday and friday.
now i am also doing sing song for junior class 9-11 on tuesday.
i have tai chi on tuesdays from 6-9. i'm feeling it. in my birthing hips.
although the concert i went to last night didn't help those aches and pains. i'm getting too old to stand for that long fighting to hold myself upright. but it was amazing. i love living a life where i can drive to dallas with two barely friends for an incredible angels and airwaves show and then back in the same night. great music. we even got to eat on a wonderful happy city night street, which i loved.
and it was great. they were good people. and we didn't die at the whataburger on the way home.
i went to the first meeting of the brand new ACU chapter of the student peace alliance. no. it's not about ending the war in iraq. it's about promoting legislation for creating a department of peace in our government. check it out. thepeacealliance.org. i am pretty excited about it.
i'm applying for a job to work with physical therapists as an aide. i'm checking out internships in d.c. for whenever i can. which is not this summer. since it will be the summer of espanol thanks to my own ignorance. god help me and send me some better place to learn this language. just not a summer in abilene.
i want to go on a road trip to the grand canyon for spring break. but don't want to end up as a third wheel because my friends are all strangers to each other it seems.
i love my terrorism class and don't know what to make of that. i think i just really like being able to discuss such intense things so casually at nine o clock in the morning. it makes for a more meaningful life i think.
i hate the feeling of knowing how good you smell and hassling with bobby pins. and waiting for your phone to ring. but it doesn't in time.
i enjoy sufjan stevens in times like this.
"you gave your body to the lonely
they took your clothes
you gave up your wife and family
you gave your goals.
to be alone with me
to be alone with me, you went up on the tree.
i'll never know the man who loved me."
now i just have to decide what to do tonight.

This blog mostly creates questions for me.
1. With all the work for Sing Song plus tai chi class, why do you need to run? To which I'm opposed in any case. Did you take your bike to Sarah's dorm so you could use it on campus?
2. You aren't too old, you're too tiny! That's why you get sucked into mosh pits and run over in general. Was it just the three of you? You're crazy!
One thing that did not create a question was the dinner on a city street. I'm sure you loved that!!
Another statement vs. question, Dallas to Abilene is really not a reasonable night trip. Day trip - yes. But getting home at ... well, as late as you did is not reasonable for even a college student!
3. Die at Whataburger?! I know there's more to that. I'm just not sure I really want to hear it. I mean, I do, but I'm afraid!
4. Do you really believe the politicians would create a department of peace?! Still, you have to stand for your beliefs.
5. Why a job as an assistant to physical therapists? Would never have thought of that for you. Branching out again or desperate?
6. Still not set on summer Spanish? I thought that was a pretty sure thing. Are you still checking closer to home?
7. If not internship this summer, it would seem to become more of a job while pursuing graduate school? Washington is really far from home.
8. A road trip to Grand Canyon for Spring Break?! Tell me more. I'd always hoped we'd take a family trip there. I don't understand the third wheel reference at the same time you say your friends don't know each other.
Statement, not question: Friends being strangers to each other is another sign of your oneness. You are not identifiable with a particular 'type' or 'sort' but rather walk your own path bringing others from various paths along with you on yours. They wouldn't necessarily know each other otherwise. You make their worlds bigger!
Another statement, I'm not surprised that you're enjoying the 'debate' in your terrorism class - for the discussion as well as the application to current world issues. The only surprise is that you're enjoying it even though it's in the 'early' morning for you!
I love the way you end with the complete random thoughts thrown together. Then, some lyrics of course!
9. I don't get the lyrics. I think I do, then I don't. Explanation requested.
Final Questions: Are you using the sewing machine for costumes? Are YOU actually sewing?
FINAL FINAL Question: So, what did you do tonight?
LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND CAN'T WAIT FOR SING SONG!
birthing hips!!!! love you
enjoyed phone conversation at airport
can't wait for sing song
love
daddy
Daddy really struggled to get this comment on here and one on Sarah's! I had to walk it through with him. He hadn't 'registered' but thought he had. He kept typing his comment over and over - growing frustration! He sure misses you girls!
Love you!!!
