Just a few things I want to do before I leave the Midwest in the dust:
- Paint a coat on the world's largest ball of paint with Katie Harder.
- Learn to belly dance with Lamees Galal.
- Go on a bike ride with Kellen Story.
- Execute the top-secret planned adventure with Josiah Black.
- Go to a country club with Mike Starr.

melting emotions
The snow drips.
Drips drop by drop.
Creating brittle snowbanks.
The snow is no longer white.
Just browned from dirt.
Unpleasing to the eye.
It is no longer untouched.
No longer sparkling.
It has seen life.
The bustle of people interacting.
The hustle of 'point A to point B.'
Cars, shoes, jogging, skipping.
As it melts into the ground.
Becoming one with the earth.
Allowing new life to grow in the spring.

Baking
HIMYM proved to present another fascinating idea tonight. When guys initiate a 'booty call,' it is usually in the form of a phone call. When ladies want to spend time with a man, they invite them over to do something innocent.
...like crafting, shopping, or baking.
Why is this? Because we genuinely want to partake in these hobbies and want someone do enjoy them with? Or maybe it's a test. Will the guy stick through these activities (whether or not they think he thinks they are mundane) to get to another activity. ...like hugging?
I can't even count the number of times I have asked a boy over to help me bake. I would say many times were genuine. or maybe time management based. "I need to bake 2 dozen cupcakes and I'd also like to see you. To ensure I don't go to bed at 3 am, I'll do both at the same time. It's a two-fer."
Maybe because it's Valentine's Day, I have a strong desire to bake. With a boy. Or watch a movie and cuddle. Even if I am going to fall asleep. At least I would be falling asleep with someone.

Heartbreak
But I'd much rather be
Somewhere with you
Laughing loud on a carnival ride, yeah
Driving around on a Saturday night
You made fun of me for singing my song
Got a hotel room just to turn you on
You said pick me up at 3 a.m.
You're fighting with your mom again
And I'd go, I'd go, I'd go
Somewhere with you, yeah
I won't sit
Outside your house
And wait for the lights
To go out
Call up an ex
To rescue me
Climb in their bed when I'd much rather sleep
Somewhere with you
Like we did on the beach last summer
When the rain came down and we took cover
Down in your car, out by the pier
You laid me down, whispered in my ear
I hate my life, hold on to me
Ah, if you ever decide to leave
Then I'll go, I'll go, I'll go
I can go out every night of the week
Can go home with anybody I meet
But it's just a temporary high
'Cause when I close my eyes
I'm somewhere with you
Somewhere with you.
-Thanks, Kenny!

.leaving.
Emily has left, to Honduras today. My thoughts are with her as she begins her great journey.
May it be fulfilling, as the moments we have spent trying on hats in Michael's, buying ridiculous clothes in Ross, making campaign materials, going on journeys to the gas station to play the touch screen games and get ice cream cones, and all randomness in general, of which I cherish it all.

little snowflake
It's going to snow for the next, like, 40 hours.
And, I despise the cold.
Henceforth, I am not looking forward to this snow and the cold it brings with it.
But I do love looking at the white, peacefulness when I wake in the morning. It's untouched beauty is moving.
And then, I have to go outside, and the beauty is ruined. Mostly because of the cold, and also because I step on it and it is no longer untouched. But if it's early enough, I see only one set of little footprints, left by the ball of my shoes and the tip of my high heel.

Reflecting Ahead.
'Tis the time of the year to create well-crafted New Year's Resolutions. Most times they are broken, yes? for example, I love going to the gym in January, and then going to the gym in March. Actually, I despise going to the gym in January. It's so packed, but it just makes it so much better when I go in March.
Often times we construct these elaborate goals that will change our lives, only to find that completing them is exhausting. Meh, I'm over it. Now I pick just a few things that will slightly alter my path in hopes to have a long term affect in the future.
ie: Last Year. Goal = to floss every day. Not a huge altering life change. But hey, my future health (and the dentist) is LOVING that move.
So I've put some thought into this year's goals. Not to jump on the ol' bandwagon, but in an attempt to improve life and challenge myself in a healthy way.
So goals =
1. Take my multi-vitamin and calcium pill EVERY day. (It was a goal last year, but fail.)
2. Give more compliments to those I admire.
3. As always, I have the eat healthier, work out consistently, blah blah, one as well.
May the goals of my friends and colleagues be appropriately challenging, healthy, and attainable!
Happy New Year!
