she's a million miles away
from me
separated by a hollow wooden door
some time we can't erase
serves me right
to let her in the first time
that she knocked

and all this wandering
got you nothing
you were ready to but
never could

things you never saw in me
she'll see
observations that she'd heard from other people
that she never understood
serves her right
not knowing just exactly what she wants

and all this wandering
got me nothing
you were ready to but never could

are you happy
wandering

remember sitting on your car
that night
clouds rolled out unveiling lights around the bay
and you told me all those things
remember that?
you told me you can't match your clothes
remember that?
confessed how when I laugh sometimes, I'm crying
and we sat and didn't talk for half an hour

remember that?
alone
cause I won't remember
anymore

and all this wandering
and all this wandering

I also must note: value your friends.
Or you will lose them, if you haven't already.
I hope that you all know that you mean so much to me.

The kitty Becky and I painted on Tuesday night...

Yay for the house Renee and I are living in next year! And the little room of the 2nd floor on the far left? That would be our sunroom! Excitement abounds. I think I would add more, but I believe I am being called to paint a ceramic cow.

So I'm back in EC, and thus far almost everything has been pretty enjoyable. I'm really enjoying the new dorm and the people in it, everyone seems to be much more social around here, which is always a good time. I can't say much about my classes, considering that I've only been to one of them, but I think everything should be a good time.
At the same time I am also feeling very empty and not quite sure about what I'm doing right now, but I suppose that is to be expected. I just have a huge void that cannot be filled with anything. I guess things can only get better, I just wish I knew when.

Hello all again, as usual it's been awhile. Since the last post Christmas has come and gone, but I actually had a very nice one, as I was surrounded by many friends and family. My mom's brother's and sister's families came up for Christmas, so the tiny house was filled with about 10 additional people for the holidays. Most notably, I met my cousin Alex for the first time, and even though I'm generally not a baby person, she is adorable. I'm also generally not a "spending lots of time of the family" kind of person, but for some reason I really really enjoyed hanging out with them this year. My uncle Russell, who still lives in South Africa, even offered for me to come and stay with him for a period of time if I like... I don't know if that will ever materialize into anything, but it would be very exciting if it did. I have yet to update the Lucky-Eleven galleries, but I have uploaded a selection of the pictures onto Facebook, so they can be viewed there.

Otherwise I've been working like crazy, strangely enjoying my job more and more, and pushing myself to prepare to return to Eau Claire. Although I'm very excited to head back to school, I think I'm going to miss Wausau too, and especially my friends. Ah well, I'll be back often enough to work, so things should work out. I'm also very excited to go hang out with those in Eau Claire though.

Hmm, as usual I think long and hard about blog posts but they never materialize into anything that particularly matters. Regardless, I wanted to point out a website so I could complain about Saddam Hussein's execution a little. The BBC has a really interesting collaborative page on his execution, which is worth a look. As for myself, although I admit that he did terrible things and deserved to be punished, he was tried in a politicized court. He should have been sent to the Hague and tried for crimes against humanity. Bah. I found the entire thing pretty disgusting.

Anyway, I think that's all I have to say for today. Time to see some friends. But... I must say I agree; some girls can be really dumb, and sometimes I don't understand them at all. But as it was said, "Do to other as thou wouldst they should do to thee, and do to none other but as thou wouldst be done to". I suppose we all forget that sometimes.
