...i want my nails painted black & the toy in the crackerjack

I voted! Absentee ballot style... not quite as exciting, I know. A part of me wants to go get a sticker from the polls tomorrow, but I'm not really into standing in line.

oh yea, and who I voted for? Well, you don't really need to know. I made the decision and stuck by it. Whatever that means to you.

on ANOTHER note...

Guilty pleasure alert: I absolutely love toy stores. Enough that just walking through one makes me happy, so confession, when I'm having a rough day, I go to a local toy store. Now, let's just pause a minute to consider part of that sentence. "Local toy store" - greatest things ever. Who knew there would be so many in Charlottesville? Do they exist in Chesapeake? Have I been deprived all my life?

Psalm 33:3 3 Sing to him a new song; play skillfully*, and shout for joy.

I enjoy playing. I think it's a fabulous way to get some QT in with some friends and have a great time. And Jesus does say to come like a child, what better way than playing?

(*In context, sure, David is talking about playing the harp or something, but I, being musically challenged, will use this verse to mean simple play with friends.)

summer days, drifting away, to uh-oh those summer nights

OH summer. Boredom, combined with not wanting to study, have led me to keeping a blog for the first time since high school... since myspace really. All my friends are off, running around the world doing some pretty cool things. I'm jealous :) I want to be doing the same! Alas, instead, I'm taking physics. PHYSICS. What a subject... why people actually enjoy it I could never understand. I can certainly tell you how an air conditioner works though...

I want to go ice skating. I love skating so much, too bad no one else does. I suppose I should just go one day after class... I love shopping, iceskaing, reading, doing art projects (not that they turn out beautifully or anything)... all things that cost money. Why can't I just like being outdoors? Hiking. Now that's free... why must I hate it.

Oh well. If you read my fantastic* blog, I can promise pictures, fun stories, cool bible verses, revelations about myself that perhaps you will agree with :) and the occasional passion filled rant. What I cannot promise is that you'll actually care about any of it... but I'm okay with that.

I'm off to babysit for two adorable children!

*fantastic -- well, in my opinion.
