it is my grandma pick's 80th birthday today!
it also happens to be thanksgiving.
my uncle roger drove down from missouri to suprise her!
we got the whole thing on camera: noise makers, hugs, smiling, and then her face of suprise when she saw my uncle. it was so sweet.
i asked my mom why we didn't throw her a birthday party.
my mom said she wanted to, but all her friends are dying so the party would be small! so WEIRD. right now, all my friends are getting engaged, then the baby phase will start, i cant imagine the death phase...
dang andrea, way to get morbid.
thankful to be alive. happy thanksgiving!!!!

i got hit on today...
SO, I am at the Toyota dealership getting my oil changed.
They said it would take approximately 40 minutes.
So I sit down at a table and do some stuff for school.
In the middle of my studies I say, "Hey self, you need to use the restroom!"
So I go to the bathroom, do my thing, and when I come back there is a foreign piece of paper by my stuff...
It is a tiny piece of paper ripped off of a bigger piece of paper and it says...
Emanuel
498-4021
If you ever feel like talking hit me up.
You left b4 I could say hi!
....and yes, he said "b4"...
HAHAHA. What a moment.

"you can vote however you like"
Obama V McCain.
Obama wins.
I am experiencing history.
Whether I voted for him or not,
I think this is a special time.
I can't help but smile.

pondering true love in the a.m.
it is a late night again.
for no reason really. i was at the library past midnight, but now it is 3:49 and in between getting ready for bed and finishing Pride and Prejudice, hours past and here i am with two cans of diet coke and a tall cup of coffee in my system that is currently keeping me quite awake.
i am meeting with my boon taylor in 4 hours. 8 o'clock a.m. i love wednesday mornings. there is something about pursuing the day that is rather responsible. i like being responsible, considering that it doesn't happen too often.
The movie tonight reminded me of a Donald Miller quote:
"i heard once that real love doesnt ask what is in it for me; it just gives unconditionally. it just tries to take the weight out of somebody else's pack, lessen his load, and if it gets reciprocated, that's great, but that isnt what you did it for."- Through Painted Deserts
In the movie, Mr. Darcy goes out of his way to take the load off of the Bennet family...or to directly quote "take the weight out of somebody else's pack, lessen his load..."He states later in the movie that, "surely you must know, i did it all for you" as he was speaking to Miss Elizabeth. He was not expecting a response or a reaction. He simply did these things out of love. True Love. He was not in it for himself, but only for the betterment of her life.
Love that is true. Will i ever know it? Shall i ever comprehend its depth. It seems to be a beautiful thing to give, give, give out of love and expect not ONE thing in return...Oh to love someone so much that you would do anything for them and that alone would be enough...that alone would be fulfilling. One day.
Until then, i shall learn to love unconditionally. Not thinking, "what's in it for me" or any other selfish motives but to love wholeheartedly - a divine interaction with my thoughts and my actions shall allow my loving to be easier. For Jesus loved reguardless. I have conditional tendencies, but with the help of the spirit, i can experience True Love.
it is now 4:02. i am going to attempt to sleep. sleep deep to my mind. oh yes :)

wart medicine. good conversation.
My knee is fine. PTL!
it is currently 3:06 a.m. on a thursday. i cannot sleep for the life of me. i think it is because i drank coffee at 9:45ish...ya, probably so...too bad i have no homework to do.
got coffee with joy tonight.
BT with hiller and warren.
lunch with taylor, molly, and hiller.
deep cleaned the house.
skipped tennis class.
got pony tail holders and wart medicine.
it was a productive day. i learned alot from conversations...for instance hiller was talking on the BT and said "i try to treat everyone special because they ARE my brothers and sisters, i mean i try to..." and that just tied in with what ann langhorne was saying...about making people feel super special.
we have the ability to make or break a person. we have that power. we can either slam their self esteem or boost their ego to the max. let's make everyone feel like a super star. i mean, why not?
the colors were really pretty outside today...i like life.
