The odyssey

I am so very proud of boyfriend for getting the staring role as Odysseus in the Odyssey.

Way to go!

exotic night

Erica and I had rice, veggies, and fruit for dinner. We sipped green tea from one of my little tea pots, and felt very exotic. No idea if exotic night (which was just dinner with drinks to match the culture of our dinner) will be a weekly event. Maybe....since we can't do bacon breakfast anymore.

Christoph Waltz

Love love Love him! He was so beyond fantastic in Inglorious Bastards. I remembered how much i liked him after I saw the Green Hornet last night.

what jeff said

Jeff told me the other night on the phone when I was feeling frustrated, discouraged, and angry that I was beautiful and perfect. This made me so happy, and made me feel so good. He made me feel like I was still a good person even though some of my closer friends gave me the impression I was not. He is soooo good.

I have started to spend my time with some of my other friends, who have been nothing but great. Offering prayers, advice, and being nothing but supportive. They are very Christ-like people, who live their lives in praise of him. I really have felt better in general hanging around them, they are uplifting to be around. Some of my other friends are not uplifting. I think I need to be spending the majority of time with them, since they make me the happiest.

lies

A lie is a known untruth expressed as truth.

Lets say, two people are in a conflict and they have different accounts of what happened and have shared these with each other. One of the people also has told others a different story that contradicts the one they told the person they are in the conflict with. It is hard to seem truthful if you have two contradicting stories.


It is also hard when your friends believe someone who they are not as close to as you. It is hard to still want to be friends with them.

correction

Boyfriend getting me Fantasia was the best present for this christmas and ever!

Mr bean rides again...

When I was a kid in Switzerland we had very little exposure to TV. If we did watch it there was CNN in english and various cartoons in german including Scooby Doo. Our favorite shows were pengu and Mr Bean. We also had a small handful of VHS s that we watched over and over. Come to think of it i was watching flying circus and seinfeld when I was 5. haha.

But Mr bean was easily the funniest thing we watched. Our British neighbors and best friends Caroline and Andrew had all of the Mr Bean shows. We would watch it and laugh and laugh. I remember laughing until I cried or fell out of my seat because it was so darn funny.

My dad got all the Mr Bean shows for me for christmas and it is easily my favorite present. I don't think anyone but robbie will appreciate it like I do, since he also has nostalgic feelings towards it.

housing

each year it seems like my housing situation is a bit nuts. freshman year I did not have a room until two days before coming to school. Sophomore year I was offered to move off campus the week before moving back, and Courtney and I decided to sign for the grove 3 hours after we got the email offering us money to move. This year we had 2 definate plans that had a 99% chance of working out and unfortunately they did not. Then we were desperate to find anything. Now Erica and I are on the hunt yet again....(after thinking back on this, i realized why i did not want to move out...) but we have searched for 2 and 3 bedroom places, today we found two girls and are now looking for 4 bedroom places. So i found a few places to look at, and i am hoping and praying we find a place we like tomorrow, all agree to sign for it and its done as soon as possible.

But after learning today I may get to live with Katie and Cate I was really beside myself with happiness. Those two girls are really something. They are so nice and wonderful. I am confident that we would all be perfect. I was happy to live with Erica but I did not know we would be perfect for each other. So I feel good about us all fitting well together!
