when i don't think of you.
i know, it's one of those cliche old country songs...but it's true. not a day goes by when i don't think of those friends who are far away, those close in soul and spirit.
i'm thankful for the memories i have, even if the actuality is that they are so far away right now.
sixteen things
Posteado en en Saturday, December 13, 2008 7:42 PM por amy
one of my friends on facebook did this, and thought it would be fun...so here are sixteen random things you probably never knew about me...
1. my favorite song of all time, hands down, is "drops of jupiter" by train...my favorite part is the refrain:
can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
your best friend always sticking up for you
even when i know you're wrong
can you imagine no first dance,
freeze-dried romance
five hour phone conversation
the best soy latte that you ever had
and me?
2. i'm one of the most frugal people you'll ever meet--and not in a good way! i tend to be a hoarder, but God is teaching me more about using my money and letting myself enjoy what i've earned...
3. i'm an honest-to-goodness neat freak.
4. i love, love, love christmas music. and the lights. and the season in general.
5. i'm a good gift-giver. at least, for people i know well.
6. when i get sad, i listen to mmmbop. when i'm mad, i listen to linkin park. when i'm having a dreary and dreadful day, i listen to mat kearney.
7. i'm a little bit in love with very big cities.
8. i'd rather take public transportation than drive.
9. i love how vinegar smells.
10. i usually wear my harvard tee-shirt for my hardest exam of the semester. just seems like good luck.
11. i have a hard time trusting people most days.
12. i really like to read...almost anything.
13. i'm finding as i get older and like more guys...that all the guys i like are the same in a lot of weird and disturbing ways.
14. i like to be able to find words to express how i feel, and i usually have to do this through writing.
15. i have a secret obsession with grands cinnabon cinnamon rolls.
16. my favorite thing to find on the TV? a toss-up between boy meets world reruns, that 70s show, gilmore girls, stormchaser/storm shows, or some interesting documentary on TLC.

sweet reminders
Posteado en en Monday, December 8, 2008 12:37 AM por amy
so it's 12:41am and i cannot sleep. not a serious problem, since i don't have to get up before 9:00am until thursday of this week, but i'm tired. just not sleepy. haha.
tonight was a sweet reminder of how life's come full circle in some ways. with friendships, and boys, and just...life. it's nice to see how some things don't change. how some people are by your side, through it all. sure, it's hard when people walk away and walk out of your life, and it will happen...but if you get lucky, you'll have some people who stick around. and maybe even some who walk back in your life later.
i have so much on my mind right now at this time of year. it's a hard time of year for me...a lot of difficult and painful memories are associated with thanksgiving and christmas...but for some reason, every year, i find i love Christmas more and more. this idea of joy in the darkness, of peace and purpose in the pain. the fact that so many things happened around this time makes the season that much sweeter, because i know Christ came and was human, and experienced all of this, and is yet fully man and fully God. such a comfort.
i take joy in the future..i know God's provisions are perfect. i can see that, now, as i look at the past...

talk me out of tampa
Posteado en en Friday, December 5, 2008 12:11 AM por amy
just kidding...i'm not going to tampa or anything. actually the name of a joe nichol's song that i really have in my head at the moment...
do you ever wish your heart and soul could just figure it out? i wish i could sometimes...a lot of times. i'm kind of tired of being alone. i know i'm supposed to be patient, but i'm kind of tired of being patient too. i guess part of me just wishes i knew either way--i don't want to live life hoping that i'll meet someone and never do...and i know, people say you aren't alone, but it's not a lot of comfort at the end of the day when everyone else goes home to their families and you go home to your dog, or cat, or fish, or whatever. i mean, i like fish as much as the next person, but they aren't human companionship. i forget what i was going to say here, but it was profound. i think. ERGGG. haha. some of my singleness frustration is just ooozing out here.
so here's the thing: everytime i think i've figured it out, for myself, i find out that it's not figured out at all. and the times that someone else thinks they've figured it out--well, we're just on different pages i guess. i'm not saying i want to be in a relationship. if i wanted to be in one, i mean really wanted to, i could probably find someone desperate enough to date the girl who changes her mind every fifteen minutes about what's next in her life. that's not what i'm looking for exactly--not a relationship, or not just a relationship. i'm looking for a reason to believe in love again, because as hard as it is to accept...i know that how it's been is not how it's supposed to be. i know i didn't "deserve" any of that (i use the word deserve losely because i find it difficult to think of such things as fair and unfair, etc.). this summer changed how i trusted people and opened up to them. i just need it to continue...
this post makes NO sense. haha.
