1. Awesome weekend including amnesty meeting, conference helping, apple pie making, babysitting, lauren's house craziness, tree climbing, musical-with-my-mom-going, church, forest preserve escapades and bridge crossings with jacek, downtown adventures and list-making with phil, american girl place "partying," pigeon watching with katie, crazy taxi-driveringisms, train delay napping, and scarlet letter reading.

2. tomorrow is thursday!

3. the day after that is friday!!

4. people confuse me.

5. i had a realization today. the reason it's hard for me to relate to a lot of people is because of tv. i used to watch minimal tv and now i don't watch it at all. if you listen to most people talk, a lot of their experiences are related back to a tv show or a movie. "oh yeah, that one simpson's where homer goes..." am i right? i just don't have those connections in my head because the things i talk about have been experienced by me first-hand.

6. my hands are really cold.

He had it coming
He had it coming
He only had himself to blame
If you'd have been there
