Sigh...useless planning for the future

Well...I'm pretty sure I found my wedding dress. I'll never get to wear it, but at least I knew what it looked like!

So here is what I love....

a. the simplicity - its not fancy, but its still elegant in its own unique way (this girl's mom made it).
b. the accessories are so creative and fitting. i love the little jacket and belt. they add style and a little color.
c. the necklace (she made it). its big and chunky but it blends in so well to the outfit that you would really only notice it if it was gone.
d. the train. it swoops out like it was always meant to be there.
e. the pouf at the back of the waist. it reminds me of a hoopskirt from Gone With the Wind. I smiled.

Doppleganger week

I learned from facebook that this week is doppleganger week, where you set your profile picture to a celebrity that looks like you. Laugh. But I thought it sounded kinda fun so I did it.

Prudence

I'm supposed to write a paper about the four cardinal virtues. I'm watching TV instead. When your sick, you don't feel like doing shit.
So...according to whatever article this is that I'm reading, prudence is the conscience behind knowing and doing what "is right," the balance between intent and delivery. People who are prudent know what the right thing to do is, and they do it.
Seems pretty cut and dry.
Reminds me of pragmatism.

...can i still be a badass?...

Fortitude...moral courage...being willing to suffer for the sake of another.
aka people pleaser.

Temperance is just doing good? I kinda hate the word 'good.' Like how would you even define good? Couldn't it be different for every person?...and then some.

Now justice. That's what everyone loves. Making sure everyone gets what they deserve. Justice is satisfying, worthy of human emotion. Lets get worked up about it!

...I guess I should go write that paper now...

Is it possible to miss somebody you've never met? I know he's out there somewhere, and even though I have no clue who he is, I just miss him. There seems to be a little hole in my heart where he's supposed to be and things just don't feel right without him.
I keep hearing songs that I want to share with him, but then I remember he's not here yet. I want to pick out our song, but I can't do it without him.

Feeling Used

If your feeling used, ask yourself by whom? Maybe your just being used by God to do something unseen. If so, that is His business. Not mine. May I be the lamp that shines long and bright for the glory of something I can't see and don't understand.

Some wedding ideas I love...

TOMS are a must.


Purple is non-negotiable.


Handmade garter is creative...


I like the wood card-holders.

Bursting Dreams

This is a weekend of Owl City. Dear Adam Young is playing Grand Rapids, Chicago, and Milwaukee. Sadly, I can't go to any of these. This causes great sadness here in this little dorm room. But what is there left to say? It doesn't do much good to go on about it...
My favorite song is The Saltwater Room followed closely by Vanilla Twilight. All his lyrics are so sweet and simple and endearing. Just listening makes me giggle to myself and then smile...like he wrote them for me.


Circle me and the needle moves gracefully
Back and forth
If my heart was a compass you'd be north
Risk it all cause I'll catch you if you fall
Wherever you go
If my heart was a house you'd be home.
:)

whenever your in trouble

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darlin'... darlin'... stand by me,

oh now now stand by me
Stand by me... stand by me

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darlin'... darlin'... stand by me,

oh stand by me

Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me,
Oh stand by me...

stand by me...

stand by me

Short hair is easier than a prostitute.
