It's weird how the sun is usually out in spring and summer, but in fall and winter most days are overcast and dark. No rain, no snow. Just clouds and darkness. Can you tell it's Monday? :P
My weekend was nice. Friday night Evan and I went to Lawson's housewarming party. It was fun. I'll have pictures tomorrow. Robin and Helen were there (but not at the same time). I was happy to see them. Some of us played Trivial Pursuit. Jeremy and Teresa were kicking all of our butts, but then Lawson, Lance, and another guy I had just met swept in and took the game. It was my personal worst game ever, but there were still fun moments. Lawson's house is very nice. Evan commented to me later that it would be cool if it had a creek behind it, so we could call it Lawson's Creek. :D
On Saturday my mom had a massive photo-printing project for me. She took me to lunch at McAlister's and then to check out the sales at Michaels, and then we came to the apartment and I printed her pictures. After all that, I went to Evan's. He had been moving all day. Em and her Daniel were in town and we were going to meet up with them, but Evan was exhausted and I was pretty fried myself. Plus, I could tell it wouldn't be quality time- there were going to be a lot of other people there. So instead he took me to Garibaldi's for a quiet dinner, and then we rented Fight Club (first in a series of Movies We Have Always Meant to See). It was very interesting. I don't think I'd recommend it to everyone because of violence and some raunchiness, but that aside, I enjoyed it.
Yesterday Evan and I got to ride to church together for the first time. It was nice going to lunch and stuff in the same car. :) We went to my parents', where I scrapbooked with my mom while we all watched the poor Dolphins get slaughtered. (It was a bad, bad week for Miami football.) :( In the evening I was supposed to go to my 40 Days of Purpose study, but I skipped it. I've realized that once again, my whole life is being planned for me. I have obligations almost every night. When I'm home, I'm cleaning or exercising. I have zero time to read, work on my scrapbooks, or even take a nap when I feel like it. I have no room for spontaneity. I'm not in school or anything, so there's no excuse for this. Whenever I get to this point, I try to rearrange my priorities. Unfortunately, they keep un-arranging themselves. As one of my co-workers told me today, "I need to quit work. It's interfering with my life."
Ryan's roommate, Ashley (a guy), has moved his wedding up from June 26 (Em's wedding day) to March 20, so now I can go to it. I like his fiancee, Katherine, a lot, so I'm excited. Just thought I'd share. Ryan is probably going to move in with Royce, which is also fun. God works things out.
According to that thing going around, I write at a 6th grade level. Isn't that just based on syllables? Should I start using words like fangoriously, extrapolation, and administratively?
