I did Habitat for Humanity this past week. It was great. It's where you build houses for either low-income families or families that have been impacted by natural disasters. We stayed in a church, slept on the ground, ate all together. It was like a new family. It was a completely different environment to live in, where everyone is dedicated to others and spends less time obsessing over themselves.
While I was there I hoped to experience something new that would change my life forever back home and improve my perspective on things. After about a day back home, however, things are pretty much back to normal. I'll probably start going to more community service events, I hear it takes a little while to get into it.
Not much else to report.
I love you guys.

poem/song

Bring this day down to the dark
as watching windows lose the spark
Patiently it takes hold
That slipping, dripping sense cannot contol

And drifting lightly through the street
a tune that soothes the swaying seats
and feel the magic as it turns
and screams like angels through the racing blur

and just forget
We'll just forget
in this moment's time we'll leave with nothing left
As darkness hold you high
Another passes by
So dim the dimming lights
Before we think they can survive

happy summer

I <3 summer. I love today's weather.

hello followers

thanks for following. its really nice to see that people read and enjoy my blog, and even though I dont know any of you personally you've made this blog more worthwhile for me.

Im going to dillo day today, which is a free concert at northwestern, which should be fun. Im pretty excited for the rest of my life, too, and to an extent my gut tells me to stay home and do homework instead of going to dillo day... but really.. I'm not sure what would come of that. I enjoy doing what I want to do and taking opprotunities that are out of the ordinary. Its too ordinary and thomas-like to stay home on weekends to do homework

i feel bleh. i feeel sooo bleh right now. I just feel like letting someone know. I hate feeling like this

do you guys have people in your lives where when you think of them, you don't like them. But when you're with them, all of a sudden you cant help but be nice and enjoy them? Like all of a sudden you look past all the bad qualities that make you upset with the person.
sometimes i wish picking friends were like picking... a book to read. You could find one, pick it up, experience it for a little, then easily put it down if you get tired with it. Sometimes friendships make me become someone that I don't like. Sometimes people make you feel like shit and make you uncomfortable and sometimes people have annoying qualities that you once tolerated but now you cant stand and make it hard to be around that person. And its difficult to end the ones that you don't enjoy.

I was at a swim meet and college swimmers are so.hot.
they are so so hot. College boys are so hot.
