lightly.

This post isn't actually going to say anything of value. Which, I think, is good sometimes.


If you noticed, I changed that picture behind the title of my blog. It used to be a picture of Mississippi cotton fields, but now, it's Tennessee mountains. Get it?


I've been listening to a lot of old school Coldplay lately. I'm real big with words, and they've got some darn good ones. They're just soooo unbelievably GOOD! Songs like "Shiver" and "The Scientist" and "Clocks" and "Don't Panic"... they're all winners. I love them. If you listen to them, your day will become exponentially better, I'm sure of it.

I hung out with my good pal from Twin Lakes Peter Davis and his wonderful family all of yesterday. It was a blast. Those people are wonderful. We went all over. Even to an observatory! It was groovy.

And Caty Roommate is coming! She's going to come either tomorrow evening or Saturday morning and hang out with me. And we're going to the Decemberists concert Saturday night! I'm so excited! The Decemberists have been one of my favorite bands since I was 13 years old when I got their Picaresque album. Since then I have gotten all their music and learned every word to all their songs. I just really like them a lot. And now I get to see them in person! It's gonna be great! And with Caty Roommate at my side!

After that, on Sunday morning, Caty and I are traveling back to Athens, her hometown, because she wants to show me around. I just think that's so nice. I'm real excited!

I can't wait for people I know to be in Nashville. I get lonely here sometimes. I miss my friends a whole lot. More than you'd think. They're good folks. I move in to the dorms 2 weeks from tomorrow. Wowzers. It's time.

God is so good.

Casey and I narrating an impromptu skit on a rainy camp day

One of the infamous girls' nights where I was a judge for our beauty pageant. Every girls' night I had a different identity and asked interview questions according to my identity. This night, I was Princess Buttercup and I had a lisp. I also remember embarrassing Kevin a whole lot this night by giving him credit for a question that was super creepy. I'm with our wonderful MC Queen Mallory, Helga (or Theresa), and Joanna.

Queen Mallory the Third was my roommate - and she's amazing.

 I was part of the Friday night skits where I let the raven down to provide Elijah with food. Almost every week I messed it up somehow.

The amazing Inkheart skit. There's me and Kevin as Jack and Jill and Jonathan as Captain Hook. Amazing picture, right? We look so tiny!

Anyways, back to organizing my college stuff. This was a good break though.

"We live in a beautiful world. Yeah we do, yeah we do." - thanks, Coldplay.
