realy quick post.

i was unpacking my shit and i came across a note i found in an empty office during my internship at the brady campaign. it's a really touching letter to someone's adopted baby on their first birthday i think. i just found it sweet.

it is your first birthday already. how you have grown, changed, and continue to be the joy of our lives. each of these 365 days has been literal proof of how love compunds itself. you are special in this world and god has blessed us immeasurably.
you came home from the hospital bright eyed and so very precious. your father and i have watched you learn night from day (trust me that was tough), watched your umbilical cord fall off, learned you are allergic to soy- [scribbled out]
the day you took off all by yourself stepping without holding on was a triumphant one! you didn't know you were doing it- it came easily. you have been so healthy and strong.
everyone who sees you comments on how beautiful you are and how friendly you are. you are constantly reaching out to people saying 'hi.'
little one, if you read and know nothing else in this beautiful life of ours, know that you are loved like nobody else; by your parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. i love you and your dad loves you. be confident in that. know also that your birthparents love you and we are in touch.
the world is waiting for your goodness. you are my special angel. you are my langston.

yes, his name is really langston. i didn't know anyone had been named that for a century.

day two.

wow, i almost forgot to post today! good thing i'm both a genius and have copious time to remember things.

today was pretty boring. i slept for quite a while, then my sister and i dug our air conditioning unit out of the snow. while doing so, i discovered that if you throw snow in the top, it spews everywhere for massive lulz. afterwords i spent more than an hour digging my car out of the snow, only to drive it forward a foot and have it get stuck again, at which point i gave up.

i watched the opening ceremony of the vancouver olympics, which was cute. it had some pretty stupid stuff in it though, including one portion dedicated 'to canada's vast grasslands.' it was worse than you think. later on sarah came over and we went over to her house for pizza, soup, and animaniacs.

which brings me to my dilemma of the day: should i keep up my vegetarianism, and if so how? i feel really good (physically, not morally) when i have a vegetarian diet, but now that i'm living at home it's a lot harder to not eat meat. most of the meals my family eats are mainly composed of meat, and there are next to no good vegetarian options at fast food places. i'll consider myself on a break until i make a decision.

first post!

as of tuesday i am a college dropout, so i am now looking for new ways to waste my time. i always thought writing down my thoughts was a good idea, and now i have a chance to do so. holla.

while i was unpacking all of my clothes and putting them back into my dresser, i started wondering why i had clothes that weren't gray. i don't dislike colors, but i am much more of a monochrome person. so as i unpacked i took all of my colored clothes (except blue jeans) and put them away in my closet. this will now enable me to wear exclusively black, white, and gray. i am very excited to see who will notice my color scheme change first!

over the next few days, i should also make a list of goals for myself to accomplish before march 15 when the next nova cycle starts. i don't have too many things i'm trying to do, but if i have a month of sitting around i should have tangible things to show for it.

i know this was a short little entry, but if i make an effort to post everyday i'll feel really good about myself. beginning of a good thing?
