Sometimes it freaks me out how similar my thoughts are to Jess Feng's, because we really are not alike in any other way. But she wrote on her blog about how things change but really they are the same, and that is really so true. Conan gave me all these old old AKC pictures, and every time I look through them it makes me kind of sad. These pictures meant something to those people, but they don't mean a single thing to me. That is probably how most people feel when they look at my online photo albums. Or this blog. It makes me feel insignificant.

She ALSO wrote about failing at finding God everyday, and maybe it is because she doesn't care, but maybe it is because she really does care deep down but it is soooo deep down that she can't find it. How can she perfectly articulate something I've been wanting to say for years and years?? It is crazy!

Today I got really angry over something that happened last semester. This is why I need to stop internalizing my feelings.

Finals week is always really boring for me. I never know what to do with myself! Tonight I am going to lie on my bed, listen to my senior year playlist, and maybe watch some tv. And take facebook quizzes!!

Without fail, every Sunday I come back to my room feeling the loneliest I feel all week.

Even though I think my communications teacher is an atheist, the more lectures I watch, the more I see the evil and depravity in consumerism and consumption, and the more I am convinced that God is real and that he never meant for us to live this way. Too bad I bought a hundred dollar pair of pants for my sister this week and I'm thinking about buying another pair for myself. It is baffling how well I understand the unhealthiness of my dependence on shopping, yet I still do it. I buy things and at checkout say to myself, I know this won't make me happy for a long time, but at least I'll be happy for a few days, or maybe even a week, because not much else makes me happy anymore.

I can't wait until winter break, when I can lie in my bed all day and just read or watch movies. My life right now isn't even that busy, but I'm at the kind of tired where extra hours of sleep won't help and I need some kind of productive nothingness.

My church friends might come visit me next semester :) I'm really looking forward to it because I miss everyone. Whenever I spend time with them I feel this burden lift off of me; I don't have to care about what comes out of my mouth or be reserved and second guess everything I do.
