I got to see Ziggy Marley for $7.00 last night! Was so cool! My friends and I were talking last night about how cool that music is at bringing together all kinds of people! I really does have a unifing pull!

I think I'm ready to go back to a Sunday service like once a month. BUT ONLY IF IT'S A GOSPEL SERVICES! :) No, really, I've been wanting to go to this cool gospel church in Oceanside. Think I should make that a priority!

First Day of my birthday month! Wahoo!!!

I’m in a strange mood right now. I just looked at pictures on-line of a wedding of old friends. I wasn’t invited. Yup, people always say no matter what happens between you and the boyfriend, we’ll always be friends. But um, then why, less then a year later is it that they don’t call or contact or even invite me to the wedding I was supposed to be in… Oh, yes, people lie. I remember now.

No, I’m ok with that. Really. I guess it’s all just weird right now cause I’m getting ready for one of my best friends (of 5 years) to move to San Francisco. I’m so happy for her but sad that she’ll be far away! So I’ve been working on a surprise going away present for her, for like a month now. What sucks is every time I see her (and I’ve been trying to see her everyday), I want to talk to her about all the memories that are being brought up because of the present but of course it’s a surprise so I have to be careful what I say. Silliness! Then another friend was offered this great opportunity to go work for the Gorge Fox University. How cool would that be? Being so close to Portland and getting a change of pace. Yet, I’m still here. Shoot! I’m really happy to feel like I’m in the right place for me right now. In fact in the face of all the healing stuff I’ve been doing with my prayer man it’s a very good God thing that I’m ‘still here’. But it does feel strange preparing for others leaving and not being sure of anything for me. It makes me live more in the today, then the future anyways, but I really do want to get out. Travel, live different places, do fun stuff, but maybe that’s for a later time. Who knows? I’m good though.

Going to some cool shows in August: Susan Vega, Lollapalooza, Violent Femmes, Dave Gahan and then VNV in September.

I’m putting together our community/church’s first ever (in the 3 years we’ve been together) women’s retreat and… yeah, more thoughts on that later…
