sniffle sniffle

Well.
I shouldn't have said anything about my health streak. It jinxed me. A virus has taken revenge. So bed and chicken noodle soup it is. Stupid sore throats.

I am currently watching a E! special on the shootings at the YWAM center in Arvada and at New Life. It's really weird to watch this and know that I drove by that church nearly every day. I watch these shows and it's always in some other town, far away. But this was in my backyard. It's just eerie to see the images of Colorado Springs. Something like that happened so close to where I live. Kinda pops my personal bubble.

Yesterday on my way back to my apartment I watched these kids whose family live on campus out in the parking lot washing all the students parked cars! What a pleasant surprise those owners will get when they see their new and sparkly car! I was tempted to go and park mine down there. :)

Times like these are when I want to be little again and have mom and dad take care of me. I know my mom and dad want to take care of me too. As my Grandma Martin always said: "It's hell to get old" I know she wasn't quite referring to the age of 20...but it was a whole lot easier at 10! I can't complain though, because I have caring roommates and friends and support from home, and I'm not really that sick. It's just easier in times like these for homesickness to creep in. (And watching all these clips from Colorado Springs on TV is probably not helping). How can I love two places so much? I think we should just push Utah, Idaho, Wyoming and anyone else out of the way and smushing Colorado right next to Seattle. That would be nice.

Well. I think it's nap time again.
