to her (or rather the post about her... pertaining to the blue hippo)

so anyways...
i bought this adorable ceramic blue hippo piggy bank when i went to savers with a bunch of my residents the other weekend. now, i think the thing is darn adorable, but i really have no use for it, and i have a habit of collecting cute useless things, so i decided to try to sell it on ebay. (view post below)

now adrienne comes into my room one day and spots the blue hippo. she affirms that it indeed is the most adorable ceramic blue useless item that i've accrued as of yet, but thinks that i'm absurd for purchasing it. especially since i was trying to sell it on ebay.

in quite bothered tones, gradually growing louder, she begins to voice her frustration in that i'm only really trying to sell it on ebay as an excuse to keep it. i'm aghast at her accusations of course, as i never originally had that intention (although i'm sure that's the real reason i decided to sell it)

but now, ohhohoho... it didn't sell on ebay. and i get to keep it. mission accomplished.

i'm in the process of reading the book blink. it's a great book about how much of the thoughts we have are actually unconscious, and how to come to terms with the fact that the majority of decisions that we make in two seconds are statistically just as good as our highly informed decisions. if you're doubting me, read the book, it makes a really good case. or i'll explain it to you sometime... which i'm sure will be more exciting for you ryan los types out there... yea, you know who you are.

origins was good tonight. the open mic was great last night too. it was really cool seeing my friend liz play guitar and do really well... she did a colbie cailat song and sounded just like her when she sang it. it was quite amazing. i played grey street on guitar for people, but messed up the chorus while trying to sing and play as i always do. but it's okay. one day i'll get it, and it'll be good. :) but yea, open mics are good. broke down with chris and bryant afterwords and got to joke around about a lot of stuff. bought chris his christmas presents... (lol... christmas is chris and thomas put together... never thought of that) christmas... haha anyways yea... it's exciting.

origins was good. lisa talked about history. about how it's important and how we are in it as well as a big part of it. it got me thinking about the decisions i tend to make, and whether or not they influence history in a good or a bad way. since i'm writing history with every action, i wonder how i'm letting God write that history in a bigger and better way than i could ever imagine. i think i left my bible at origins last week. i've been using an online one, in coordination with esword since then, but i don't remember if i left it there or if it's misplaced somewheres in my room. i guess next time i'll just have to remember to check there.

i've been kind of absentminded lately. wow i'm writing a lot, but i think it's worth getting it all down since i haven't written much lately. anyways, i've had my netflix in my backpack since monday, and i've been meaning to put them in the mail so i can get some new movies, and i've been to the union every single day this week... WITH MY BACKPACK. but i keep forgetting to put them in the mail. i've even checked my mail. and gotten packages. but i forgot. i think tomorrow i'll prolly get some more books in and check my box then. i also wonder who i did on my math test... and how much my econ test got scaled. mead scales a lot.

watched a movie with adrienne tonight. rattatoulle. it was amazing. i laughed so hard at all the wrong things, and i think she laughed harder at me losing it over the little things than the things that were actually funny. although there were a few scenes that were genuinely hysterical, and meant to be so. but i'd recommend it. it's a good flick. it's both fun and clean. go see it. you'll like it. trust me.

anyways, i think bed is an order. i hope i get out of this creative block sometime soon. i haven't done anything new in quite some time, and it's starting to get to me. anyways.
