much apologies to my 5 faithful readers...if any are left.

so my conclusion is this...being friends with smart people STINKS!

it would seem that the high majority of my friends are all extremely intelligent individuals, and all in different areas. the different areas would not be such a big deal if after spending time with them i didn't feel the need to educate myself just so i can contribute to a semi-stimulating conversation about world politics, church history, foreign cultures, spiritual theologies, government, literature, or greek mythology! good GRIEF!!!

what happened to the good ol' days when we could be thoroughly entertained by discussing our favorite crayon colors or which dress of barbie's we would want for our own if we could only choose one (totally the orange ballgown...before it ripped). man, i miss those days! i could keep up with those days!

it's not my intention to have so many smart friends, but they seem to flock to me! and at first everything is fine and dandy and we enjoy laughing about dumb things we have done or funny movies we both enjoy. then suddenly they drop a bomb like, 'what do you think about the economic relationship between the roman empire and modern day afghanistan?' (a little exaggeration for dramatic effect...i don't even know if that last comment made any sense, but then again, i am the dumb one) suddenly it's not all fun and games anymore. it's me spending sleepless nights googling roman and afghan economics!!!

tell me, is this what friendship is supposed to be about? maybe it's God's way of telling me that i'm lazy and i need to find something to get smart about(by the way, great old tv sitcom and i'm super excited about the movie remake!). but must i get smart about everything?!??!

we must all bare our own crosses. i guess this is mine.

my new favorite movie/song...the movie's irish, so the language isn't exactly family friendly, but the songs are amazing!

five reasons fog is cool

1. you could make a sweet music video without any special affects (take note, tam).  

2. it's romaaaaantic (in my head my voice went up tonally on the a...just fyi)  i always think of that scene in sabrina (the one with julia ormond, not audrey hepburn) when she's in paris and they're taking pictures of the couple on the bridge in the fog and she puts that one red scarf in the foreground which, by the way, is the only real color in the shot and i'm betting made for some amaaazing photographs.

3. it's pretty (spoken like gollum when he says, "precious") 

4. it makes for the perfect crime setting...okay, so that's probably not super positive, but barring from the fact all of us have scruples and would never really commit a crime, you have to admit, having fog the night of would be a major fringe benefit.

5. you can literally say i've taken "a walk in the clouds."
