Two Important Discoveries.

1. The Princess Bride has the perfect definition of love in three words: "As you wish."

2. Gilmore Girls has what I like to call "The Wizard of Oz Factor"

What I mean to say is...

you can relate anything to Gilmore Girls if you've seen enough of it

[as it is with the Wizard of Oz]

think about it...mother-daughter relationships...Auntie Em as a maternal figure for Dorothy.

there. i just connected Gilmore Girls to Oz.

I have discovered through personal experience that any impromptu topic can be connected to Oz.

I will make Gilmore Girls references more often, I think.

& I'll try to love like Wesley

or maybe the year almost is.

A lot has happened this year, and this is not going to be a highs-and-lows of the year regrets-and-triumphs blog post. Although I have nothing against those.

I will say, however, that this has been a lifechanging year for me. in many ways. someday I might tell you about it.

lyric overheard in a book store: "Gaps in my diary speak volumes about me."

song i've been listening to over & over: Get It Faster by Jimmy Eat World

I love you all.

p.s.

"Today I bought a piece of pie. Its total, $3.14 I laughed out loud. The waitress didn't get it. MLIA"

"Today, my dad asked me if they deliver emails on Sundays. MLIA"

Oh, hey, Christmas!

it's way too close.

I've been reading a lot of MLIA:

"I've been using the same chap stick for a month now but it hasn't been working that well. My brother gave it to me as a gift but all it does is make my lips sticky. I told my friend and showed her the chapstick, she started laughing and told me that it's a glue stick. MLIA"

"Today, I was trying to decide whether or not I needed to wash my favorite hoodie. I looked at the tag and it said: "Machine wash, tumble dry low. Or just wear it dirty." My decision was made. MLIA"

[one of my favorites ever! /\]

and Tom Swifties:

"I dropped the toothpaste," said Tom, crestfallen.

"Here's someone who can't speak!" exclaimed Tom dumbfoundedly.

I've also been working a bunch with Kate Pitchford in photoshop...

We decided against using this, haha :)

& taking pictures with my sister

I love you all.

This week...

...has been good so far :)

"never desire revenge. it requires real strength to love man and to love him despite all invitations to do otherwise, all provocations and all reasons why one should not. happiness and strength endure only in the absence of hate. to hate alone is the road to disaster. to love is the road to strength. to love in spite of all is the secret of greatness." -L. Ron Hubbard

today's xkcd made me LOLZ, click:

Oddly enough, I started writing a story once about the sun dying. I gave up on it. This would've been a great way to conclude it. ;)

I'm a little bit mad at myself for neglecting the three (four?) people that read my blog. So from now on, I'll try my hardest to update regularly.

Song I've Listened To Over & Over This Week: "Something About Us" by Daft Punk

I was on conference calls for 4 1/2 hours yesterday. So I slept in today & was generally lazier than I should be. But I felt totally justified. ;)

Tour has been teaching me a lot about myself.

Maybe I'll tell you about it sometime.

Marie.

I haven't felt very inspired to write on my blog, but I thought I'd tell you about somebody I love very much.

Her name is Marie.

You might know her.

Her last name is Jeffries.

She inspires me.

A few days ago we ran to the store to get a wrap for Tim's twisted ankle. First of all, Tim needs to take better care of his ankle. But secondly while we were at the store Marie explained why she was there by saying; "I find out what people need, and I get it for them. I fix it." It's just what she does.

Tonight, in the middle of the program, one of the girls needed to safety pin her dress, and Marie went running out to find a safety pin and then utilized her near-superhero-like safety-pinning abilities to aid in this dire situation. Because...that's what she does. She helps when people need help. She loves when people need love. She wants to work with IJM when she grows up.

Marie is so focused on other people, has such a heart for the hurting and lost and abused and misused and mistreated and ignored, that the way she lives her life is one of the most powerful examples of love I know.

I love Marie, and I hope some day I can love like Marie.
