oh prairie souls, they never die

hi everyone.

i figured if im wondering what dear joni is up to, then you must be as well. so here goes

kristina and i have been painting the house. the back room is now a burgandy/wine color. the trim around windows is currently a nicotine stained cream, which we are going to sand off and stain the beautiful natural wood below. we pulled up the carpet, i love wood floors. the bathroom will be painted a deep teal. floors are also wood.

you know playing house as a child is completely different then the real thing. you cant just say "lets play a different game" and forget about the mountain of laundry in the corner.

i find the hardest thing about this world, is keeping yourself positive. there is so much negativity and hate in this world. so many things to be frustrated about. and people have lost touch with themselves and each other.
no one can be trusted, those you call friends will turn on you as soon as you turn around. it disgusts me how selfish and petty we can be.

but through all the hate, i find love. there is love in myself, in kristina, in my family. there is love in the little things no one sees. the small occurrences that confirm everything happens for a reason.
i have a desire to move people with the music that floats in my head.

really though, if you could hear it you'd understand. i need a new computer to record it all.

in tune with the time of year, i have found the meaning of christmas.
it is brilliant.
i need snow so i can build an army of calvin and hobbes snowmen in my front yard.
once it happens i will of course document the events and post them. you will laugh.

i miss my family.

im starting school jan. 12th.
go me.

death cab for cutie has stolen my thoughts tonight. maybe i will sleep.

i do hope you and yours have a wonderful thanksgiving. eat turkey, laugh heartily, and love with all you are.
