The Dumbing Down of Love by Frou Frou was played on this past week's episode of Bones.

It made me giddy with recognition tingles.

That is a good song.

I love you all.

So, my mom didn't realize it was a sleep-in so it looks like I'm not going.

:: 2006 29 April :: 10.03am

I don't know how much of you know about the "nightwalkers," the tens of thousands of children in Uganda who "fear abduction by the Lord's Resistance Army, leave their villages every day to seek refuge in town before nightfall."

There's a nationwide sleep-in protest planned for today and one of the locations is here in Grand Rapids.

Hannah and I are going, so if you want to come too, call me before 6 tonight. Here are the details. They tell you what to bring and stuff.

Some people are walking from GVSU/Allendale to this thing and, rumor has it, some people are walking from Hope/Holland too. The goal is to walk at least a mile so you're commuting (a little bit) like the nightwalkers. I think the people I'm meeting up with (Emily) are going to walk from Aquinas.

Oh, it's at Rosa Park's Circle, I don't think I mentioned that.

If you want to come, call me before 6 tonight.

I love you all.

It's Friday!

Today my sister has her choir dinner theatre. I'm excited. She said the choreography is horrid so I'm looking forward to laughing with her. Or at her. Ha ha. She's a good sport.

I am hot. Wink wink, nudge nudge. It is very warm and beautiful outside. I am excited for spring. However, I am quite distraught because all the trees in my yard are the only kind of trees that don't have leaves on them right now.

The kids who're in France right now are coming back on the 28th of May. So it looks like I will be gone for 5 months. I'm going to France! Sometimes I forget all about it and it just surprises me. I am scared shitless. I will be GOING TO SCHOOL in a FOREIGN COUNTRY where all the classes will be taught in a language OTHER THAN THE ONE I HAVE BEEN SPEAKING SINCE BIRTH and one that I have FIVE YEARS of experience in. Yeah, I'm freaked out.

Lalalala.

I have exams next week and then I am done with my first year of college. Excitement!

I love you all.

P.S. Jessa, now I see what you mean about his family. She's being a poopyhead and you should just ~~kill~~ kick her. I was going to leave her a nasty message but that wouldn't be nice. I'm trying to resist the temptation.

Charlie and I went to the Culinary Picnic today! Lots of fun. Egg tosses and water balloons, and waiter races. And I won a raffle. It was at John Ball and it was so nice out, besides the pond smelling like dead fish.
Then we went to the doctor and heard the baby's heartbeat! YAYYYYY. It was amazing. We were both grinning. Dr. Leary said the babies heart rate was in the 150s...so maybe a girl?!? :D YAY
So excited. My ultrasound is coming up quickly too. But now I have to work...

holy crap. when is this sickness going away!? Seriously, going on about 42 days here. I have my ice carving final at one. But I can't really bring myself to get out of the house and go to class. Blah.

I'm pretty sure iPods die after about a year.

Mine needs wiped and reset but I'd like to get my music off first.

Pretty please, Julio.

Sooooo
It's been quite a while since I've gotten on here. I am SOOOO happy class is almost done. I'll miss the people in my table service class but I'm happy that's over too. It makes for long days! Hmmm. News...
I've been sick for about 40 days straight, every day, every time I wake up. At least I know nothing is wrong, but still. UGH! I'm so glad it'll be gone soon (hopefully). 12 weeks today and Charlie and I get to hear the HEART on friday! WHOOOOO! Also we're going to a picnic for GRCC culinary students which will be a BLAST. This has been a pretty sad weekend due to the passing of a really wonderful grandma, but we know she's in a better place now and watching over us. I wanted her to see an u/s of the baby. I wanted her at our wedding. But that's selfish and she was in pain. So she'll be everywhere now. It was a beautiful day for the funeral (yesterday).
Okay. Okay. I'm gonna cry again.
I didn't go to work tonight because I felt like I was going to be sick any minute. Ugh. Gotta love it. But soon I will be able to feel the baby and that will be awesome!!!!
Alright I have to write a paper now on the Patriot Act. Fun stuff.

Yeah. Definitely growing my hair out.

This is the second time my father has called me by my brother's name/nicknames.

In my defense, he wasn't wearing his glasses.

They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

For all you complete and total dorks out there:

There is an airport in Paris, France called Orly. I'm not even kidding.

Now try to tell me you still don't want to go to France.
