So I'm looking up songs to sing tomorrow at a prayer service for the mentally disabled, and I discovered that some children Bible songs are some of the most ridiculous things EVER.
1. "Be Above It, Never Covet."
2. "Be True to Your Mate, Mate."
3. "Don't Bow Down to Idols"
4. "Choose Your Daddy."
5. "I'm gonna feed (500 mouths)" - And yes, it is a parody of "I would walk (500 miles)" by the Proclaimers
6. "Get Found Tonight" - Heck yes. It sounds like "Get Down Tonight" by K.C. and the Sunshine Band
7. "Tis so Sweet to Trust Jesus"
Enjoy. I sure did.

My wish.
Life moves at a pace that is simply unfathomable right now. Let me put it this way - I'm so tired that by 8 o'clock at night, I don't feel tired anymore. Which causes me to stay awake longer than I really should. Which results in complete exhaustion the following day.
And the cycle continues day in and day out.
It's not that anything is particularly bad right now. My main complaint is the lack of time spent with friends, particularly the lack of much needed Pam-Tim time. Other than that, life is good. I just need a day where I can drink some cranberry apple tea, read some Emerson, curl up under a heated blanket, and sleep for as long as my little heart desires. Ah, what a magical and splendid day that would be.
Justin and I went to check out the poetry reading on campus today - it was Albert Goldbarth. He was phenomenal. A bit risque, too - I thought for sure that the gathering of old women would get up and storm out after the 5th time he said "fuck," or the 50th time he said "bra." If they left, they would have really missed out. If done right, poetry readings are the most amazing and tranquil of events. You go into a room, sit down, and listen to language. You don't even have to fully comprehend everything that's going on in the poem - you can just listen to the words. I love it.
Anyways, I'm off to finish reading The Plague. Joy!

Whoa.
It's been a wee bit too long since I last wrote a blog. Yikes.
So, life has been insane. A couple of weeks ago we had our fall retreat for SJF. Unbelievable, as always. Especially the ride up - Manda and I followed through with our second year of driving up, getting insanely lost, and laughing the entire way to the point where my stomach hurt after.
After getting home from that, it was really hard adjusting back into the swing of things, which I think is the main reason why I haven't blogged in so long. When you go on retreat, you kind of get into that "I love everyone and everything!" mentality, and then you come home and life kind of bitch slaps you again. Not fun.
But, anyways, the semester is rolling on, the campaign is continuing, and I'm deciding on my costume for Halloween. (I'm leaning towards going as a large white garbage bag stuffed with newspaper...get it? I'll be white trash!!)
My next post will be more exciting. I promise.
