Cyber Stalking

So, there is this guy that I'm fond of and instead of talking to him, I cyber stalk him. It started off innocently enough with a quick search for him on Myspace, but now I check his cousin's blog daily for updates on his family. It's grown beyond just looking for tidbits and info on my Object d'amor. Now, I peruse the blog to read what new and glorious things have happened in the lives of people I will probably never meet. I mean the blog is at times inspiring. It's pretty awesome to read the words of someone who loves Christ so much. As I journey back to the bosom of Christ I find her struggles with living as a Christian to be encouraging. The blog is also funny. There are humorous pictures and accounts of dunderhead mistakes. There is beauty - the photos are artistic and the blogger is an artist who let's us in on her wondrous talent. The blog is also painful to read; an earlier post recounts her parents temporary separation. I feel like I would read this blog if my boy was not related to the author, but still is it wrong to know so much about someone that you actually know? I mean I'm so afraid of people who I work with looking at my Myspace page that I have set it to private. Maybe one day he and I will actually have these conversations with each other instead of the one sided thing that going on now. Who knows maybe he would be just as enamored with my family and friends :)

Life in the Carpool Lane v.1

So, my roommate Amber and I finally started carpooling 2 weeks ago. The first week i totally forgot that there were two of us in the car and I never utilized the car pool lane. I only realized the genius of the car pool lane the second week when Amber slid into it during a particularly heavy traffic day and we still ended up getting to work in fifteen minutes. NICE! So, this week I'm taking advantage of the car pool lane and it is awesome! Even when I should be super later for work I'm not.

Today was particularly fun because Amber and I were reminiscing about old John Mayer interviews. Yes, we remember old John Mayer interviews. Yes, at one time we were super fans, and yes we wear our battles proudly. Anyways back to the reminiscing part - it was so much fun to just sit in the car and laugh and quote these ridiculous interviews, We have both seen them so many times that we can quote them word for word. If anyone had been in the car with us they would have assumed we were high or something because of the silliness, but it's just the type of thing you do with someone you've been friends with for 11 years. Good times. And I needed it. Lately I feel like the Universe is conspiring against me because everything that can go wrong has lately, so I needed a break from all my worries which are causing me to be majorly stressed. So, the lesson here: when you're feeling down just think of celebrity interviews that happen in places like Belgium.
