a music revalation

Yesterday I was driving from Seattle to Puyallup right around rush hour so I got stuck in traffic. I didn't have an ipod, cds, or any other form of personalized entertainment so I was forced to find something on the radio. Which actually wasn't that bad because the radio stations in this area are pretty "jawsome." I stumbled across this one station that played purely electronic music, I was quite enjoying it when a song I didn't love too much came on the radio so I started scanning the stations looking for something else. Strangely enough the scanner paused on a hip hop/bootie station and the song playing moved my soul. I stopped the scanner and listened, my heart was left wanting more. I spent the rest of the car ride listing to cube 93.3 a station I would have never thought to listen to in the past. I don't really know what was going on inside of me at the time, I just know that was the music I needed. I partially blame this on Lily, partially on Brian, and partially on the bootie dance parties I have gone to over the last couple of months. The other thing that was slightly disturbing about this incident was my familiarity with the music being played, there were moments I was even able to sing along.

I'm Back

OK so maybe i went through a little blog honeymoon stage and then we broke up, now we are trying to work things out. I hope it goes ok.

Eternal Itch

How would your life be different if you had an itch in the same place for 4 years, and it wouldn't go away, and it was in an embarrassing place so you wouldn't want to itch it, and you wouldn't want to see a doctor?

-and no this is not an ailment i personally endure

Electronic women can have babies fast

Megan is straightening Whitney's hair and she is making the most crazy comments in the world. Whitney looks weird with straight hair. She just informed us that when her hair is straight she is no longer funny or cool, but that she is sad. And Mark just showed up and now he wants to crochet and watch House. I just want to go to bed.
My official decision is I love this place.

If you had to pick a dramatic way to die what would it be?

This is one of the questions found in the "If" book (a book of questions designed to arouse thought and conversation) that we read on our road trip last weekend. The answer for me is clear. I would fall into the Grand Canyon. I fell so deeply in love with that place the moment I saw it. Now, I can honestly say that I know what love at first sight is. While we were standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon the wind was so strong and I was positive it was going to sweep me away, where I would be swallowed by the beauty of the canyon. And I would have been ok with that.

It strikes me a little odd that I never knew how the Grand Canyon was formed, what seems even stranger, is that I had never even thought to wonder how it was created, until I was standing face to face with it. I'm glad to know now that it was caused by the Colorado River. That is so amazing that a river could cause so much erosion and thus create such a magnificent canyon. I kind of like Josh's version better. About a man who loved a woman so deeply, and then she fell down a crack in the earth so he started digging to get her out. "And he didn't have time to sleep. And he didn't have time to eat. And he didn't have time to grow old. And he didn't have time to die." He still hasn't found her, he may never find her, but he will keep digging because of love.

The Red Panda

Their disposition is mild. They are gentle and curious.

Josh has a gift for seeing animals in people. The other day we were all talking about what animal Josh sees in us and his official decision was that I am a Red Panda. I kind of like that. I feel like i even look like this little guy. Right now Josh is trying to figure out what animal Whitney is.

This weekend

One of my life dreams will come true.
