Sometimes I think about music and I feel delightfully incredulous. I'm not even listening to any music right now, I'm just thinking about music and I feel great. I'm also happy because I finished reading Light in August. I went on a highlighting frenzy throughout chapter 20 and I think Faulkner is a master at resolving what should be resolved and leaving the rest alone.

We painted our youth group room red, yellow, and blue today. It's sort of ugly and sort of nice--I think it'll look better with the furniture back in place. I hope it will, at least. I came home after four hours covered in paint, but now I'm clean and comfortable and for once I actually noticed that I should feel blessed to have been able to take two showers in one day simply because I needed to get paint off my skin--it's so amazing that with the turning of two faucets, I can get as much hot water as I need to be clean.

There's no school tomorrow. I have things to do, but a day off of school is such a relief. I'm going to try to get as much done on my IU Honors College Scholarship app as possible tonight. And then I'm going to watch "The West Wing" season one DVD for awhile, because there's something in me that does not allow me to go to bed early if I don't have to go to school the next day. It has nothing to do with whether or not I've gone out--I went out Friday and Saturday night until a little after midnight, but tonight I'm just peaceful and at home but I still have the desire to wait hours before falling asleep. I think part of it might be that it's so lovely to fall asleep when exhausted and bleary-eyed.

Hey, world
Thanks a lot
Thanks a lot
