Fun stuff.

In 12 hours, I'm officially a senior. I can't believe it.

In 4 days, I'm off to Girl's State.

In 10 days, three of my best friends leave with a group of fantastic people for Africa. I'm watching them live out their dreams-- it's absolutely amazing.

In 27 days, my brother leaves to study in Istanbul until August.

In 43 days, I leave for my first overseas adventure.

But right now, in this moment, I'm writing my final paper of junior year, studying (or actively NOT studying) for the last true exam of my junior year and listening to some Patty to finish the night.

Impossible Things.

"There is no use trying," said Alice; "one can't believe impossible things."
"I dare say you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was you age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."
-- Lewis Carroll

A Lover's Lullaby

Oh and dream, Lover dream
The dreams that are lost in you
Don’t be afraid to let yourself go
Oh and see, Lover see
The wonder that lives in you
Open your eyes, it is there to behold
And know that your whispers for love have been heard
By a heart that is gentle and kind
You are the one He is seeking to find

Oh and live, Lover live
In the freedom His love gives you
Don’t bare the marks of the slave-driver’s hands
Oh and give, Lover give
The gifts He has given you
Recklessly throw all your cares to the wind
And know that your whispers for love have been heard
By a heart that is gentle and kind
You are the one He is seeking to find

Oh and hear, Lover hear
The lyric He’s written you
As freely you dance to the rhythms of grace
Oh and rest, Lover rest
The price has been paid for you
Rejoice! Let the dancing begin

Photo-fun.

Found this site over at queen anne's lace. It takes a new looking photo and makes it look like old film. You just browse to find the picture you want and hit the center blue button. Here's my favorite (a shot I took of my friend Kerey at Utopia)--
