I feel suddenly enamored by the idea of creating something (by suddenly I mean over the last few weeks). Not enamored in the obsessed with love sort of way, but more fascinated by the idea and its possibilities. To build, to create, to bring life and power into an object or place that held none before. To see in the mind, and have that sight realized by the work of one’s hands. I don’t have a medium, or really even any clarity in the matter, but I feel as though there is some great creative force building inside me that must vent itself eventually.
Now all I need is an inspiration. Or perhaps a muse…

I can now post to the blog from my phone. I don’t know if this will happen often do to my fat fingers and the stupidity of my phones predictive text, but its nice to know I have the option. In other news, chick-fil-a spicy chicken is delicious!
And here is a photo of Dan I took on my phone.

So, I’ve been trying to win the lottery without buying a ticket.
Turns out it doesn’t work very well.
That’s all you get, but I think you can figure it out.

I have “written” the post I spoke of before my birthday about 3 times in my head now, and about 1.5 times on paper. The problem with all these early drafts, is that while they speak very deeply about who I am and what I am going through, I refuse to whine about my life the the void if the internet. Seems shallow and ridiculous, to be honest. Also, a great many of my words would be very hurtful to one person who has mattered a great deal to me, and I do not feel as though causing that hurt would be worth having said the words. So I am lead to this; a post made from my actions and thoughts of the past few days, and how my thinking has changed.
I went to see Eclipse with Josh today. Yes, a 26 year old and his friend, the 30something youth director he volunteers with, went to see a movie about a teenager who falls in love with a vampire. We laughed about it when Josh suggested it, but ended up going anyway and really enjoyed it.* But it got me thinking about popular conventions, and about how people fear to live their lives in the way they wish because of what others think. Suddenly, I don’t care. I don’t care that you think Twilight is stupid, and I don’t care that you think video games are rotting the brains of America’s youth, or that you think less of me for enjoying them both. I just don’t. I’m tired of making decisions afraid of how they will be perceived. So I’m not going to worry about it anymore. That doesn’t mean your opinion isn’t valuable, just that I’m not going to let it influence mine. So there!
Just so it’s out there, I’m totally Team Edward. Jacob is cool and all, but he is just way too whiny.
