"Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
I read this tonight, and it just sounded so poetic. Makes you want to go out and just give, doesn't it?
Heartlight.org had this quote in their commentary: "Our blessings will be based upon our willingness to bless others."
Something to think about.

Life Update
Wow! I have not been good at posting this year. Sorry to all of my adoring fans out there (cough, Brittany at Lib U.)
Life Update #1: We've moved again! Yippee skippee, June came around once again, and, as is the custom when you are a female in your early twenties, it was time to move to a new apartment. For the first time in my life I live outside of El Cajon (I figure Jamul summers don't count). Jenna and I have taken up residence with Brittney and her two roommates over in La Mesa, the one town in East County that I find myself constantly lost in. Darn non-grid system. It's... interesting so far. We haven't actually even lived with Brittney yet, since she is still in India, so we're not sure yet what the dynamic will be. Right now, we're just kind of winging it.
Life Update #2: We started a new company at work. This one is an AWESOME IDEA, though. My boss decided for his third book we should try our own hand at publishing. So he went and started his own publishing company. This is amazing mainly because my career goal is to work for a publishing company in between now and getting married and cranking out some cute kids. I've gotten to teach myself how to use Adobe InDesign to typeset the new book, gotten to edit it, I'm working with Justin on cover design and graphics, and we've just started talking logistics with the printer. It's a-mazing. Seriously, kids, only God works out amazing stuff like that.
Life Update #3: Since GRADUATION TWO MONTHS AGO, I've found myself with much more free time to do whatever I want, read, watch TV, scrapbook, whatev. But of course, being me, I have to do something at least slightly productive when I'm using my free time, so I decided to actually schedule out for myself time for writing. I figure this summer is as good a time as any to finally get that great American novel done. You can find me Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays in the back corners of the Rancho San Diego and El Cajon libraries, typing away.
Sadly, those are pretty much the only updates worhty of being written about. There are lots of little things going on, too, but nothing that would lend itself to more than a sentence or two.
... All right, back to work for me. :)

Ode to Box 246
Well, so far the worst thing about graduating this week was that today I had to part with my mailbox key.
I wasn't even ready to do it. They just demanded it right there.
I couldn't even get in the "last-time-checking-my-box-for-fun-things" picture.
Life will forever be different.
What a melancholy week.

I give up
All right, all right. I've decided to embrace being sick. Among other things this includes putting off a paper for lit class due tomorrow and breaking out the chicken noodle soup. If only I had some 7-up it would be a real party.
If anyone needs me, I'll be on the couch at apartment B22, watching reruns of Veronica Mars, season one, disc three specifically.

Attention: NEW POST
Ha ha ha. Brittany Keener keeps telling me I need to post something new. So here's to Brittany, who's sitting across from me at the B22 kitchen table on her spring break right now. She has no idea I'm typing this, or that it's about her. I'm sneaky like that.
Hope you're having fun in Virginia, Brittany. Hope it snows for you and you can ditch more classes than just the first one that gets delayed!

Oh Happy Day
It's January 23rd, kids, and you all know what that means.... That's right, the new episodes of Veronica Mars start right now. Peace out, peeps. I won't be answering calls for the next hour.

Scrapbookers Anonymous
Scrapbook fever has broken out over at B22. Sonia, Jenna, and I are joined by neighbor Sara and camp friend Liz in our artistic endeavors and weekly trips to the Scrapbook Attic. Hours are spent with paper, die cuts, and stickers spread out over the living room floor, as chick flicks play continuously in the background. Bits of scrap paper are embedded into the carpet. Boys, upon hearing the "come on in" greeting, look on in shock (and perhaps a little fear) as they stand gawking at the doorway.
It's glorious.
