the end of my week

I always wonder what other people do with my time, but i never tell anyone what I do with my time. So I will share my weekend with you.
---------------------------------
On Friday, after school, I helped my not so creative/fashionable friends to shop with creativity, and tried to get them out of their regular t-shirt and jeans mold. Then I went for a beautiful run through the autumn trees. Then a lovely friend came over and we started to write a story, which we plan to turn into a song.

Then our minds started going crazy, and we decided to do a little experiment on facebook, which has turned out well. You can probably figure it out if you have a facebook.

Saturday, my friend and her family invited me to go to Notre Dame with them for the day, and they were picking me up at 7 am. Of course, I planned to get up early, and get everything ready. But I didn't. I got up at 6:45 , and practically jumped in their car still dripping from my shower.

But, Notre Dame was incredible. The campus is beautiful and tranquil, and full of so much tradition. I kind of fell in love with it while I was there. Also, the friend that I went with, basically shares a brain with me, and I will her so much next year, i don't want to even think about it.
I basically never make friends my own age. I always make friends with seniors, and I have to make new friends every year. I guess that is kind of good, but still feels horribly lonely when they leave.

I got home late, and my parents were gone, so I took advantage of that, and stayed up all night, then I slept under the stars. A couple hours later I got really cold, and went into my warm bed for the rest of the night. I couldn't believe how cold it got, and I can't believe people sleep out there all night, and have no other choice. man. I want them to have some really warm blankets, and a bed. so badly.

But, I woke up late, and got to church late. And everyone asked me about my facebook experiment, and it was pretty hilarious. And PB talked about one of my favorite areas of the bible (Matt 6-ish), which was awesome, and it made me really happy that he was hitting on that issue. And then I decided I don't ever want to deal with credit. I know people that have never had a credit card, and I definitely want to be one of those people. It seems a lot wiser, and maybe more difficult, but it seems like it pays off a lot in the long run, and saves a lot of stress, and useless spending.

Then I came home, wrote a bunch of Peru letters (which takes hours, which has turned into a couple months) and homeworked, and guitared (and made up new verbs) and had a wonderfully restful sabbath. Then I went to TSM. Wow. Praise band played and worshipped at it's best tonight. We took our time, enjoyed worshipping God, and played as a group rather then a bunch of individuals, and we did it without our wonderfully humble leader. That filled me with immense joy and thanksgiving.

Then I drank some tea, and talked with my lovely friend. wrote some more peru letters. had a fantastic Sigur Ros-filled drive home. (people tend to give me really weird looks when I drive with the windows open when it is 50 degrees out--but if they just tried it, they would know how good it feels)

Now, guess what I am doing? Yep--writing Peru letters!

(but soon, I will start my night-long marathon of Christmas/Winter movies)
