weird weird weird.

I think I’ve been talking a lot about religion recently. Like, a lot-a lot. And it’s so dadgum strange, and I’m certainly not accustomed to it. I mean, I used to be accustomed to it when I would argue with Eddie Fairchild and Jonathan Tanner ad nauseum, but now? yeah. not.

But I’ve been trying to be real introspective. Figure out what the hell it is that I want, and want to be, and what’s important, and what I can let go.

It’s a strange process, to say the least. A good one, and a necessary one, but strange nonetheless. I had no clue I’d come so far. It’s kind of a nice confirmation.

And, last night I had the longest phone conversation I’ve had since high school. Three and a half hours! I mean, I remember spending hooooouuuuurrrrs on the phone, talking and maybe *watching a tv show together,* like the x-files or something. But this is new.

Today is the last day of one of my favorite people at work. When he started I REALLY didn’t like him. I felt threatened and I feared for my job. Turns out working with him was a great experience, albeit an awkward one at times, and I’m sad to see him go. He was also my pen-buddy. We both have a ridiculous obsession with all things office supply. I will miss the random post-its/clips/pens that arrived on my desk. And I’m sure he’ll miss the ones I gave in return.

Oh, also, Philip Pullman. Author of the His Dark Materials trilogy. Finished his third book this morning when I couldn’t get back to sleep at 6am but also couldn’t drag my sorry ass out of bed. The end is heart-wrenching. I cried. It was good though. If you like Harry Potter, you just might find that you like these three. I got a little frustrated by the end, but I still liked ‘em. AND Nicole Kidman is going to make an awesome Mrs. Coulter. I’m def looking forward to the movie.

Now I just have “A Short History of Nearly Everything” and “Another Roadside Attraction” to finish, and then I can start reading more of the books in my pile of “to-be-reads.” Any suggestions, while I'm at it?

I am sooooooo looking forward to chilling out this weekend, watching the Grey’s I dv-r’d, buying a guitar, watching lectures, cleaning, sleeping in, going to church and then going swing dancing Sunday night. AND picking up my camera in like an hour! Geee-lorious!!!

Will you remember my reply when your high horse dies?
