prairie wind

frig, i'm freezing. its like frickin 100 below outside. what is this january or something?? dawna and i both were wearing our winter coats tonight. burrr. is that how you spell burr? looks wrong for some reason. hmm. my clothes felt damp all day, which just added to my coldness. then when i got home i got changed and put on snuggly warm sox. nice.

i feel calm and content today. i like that. almost as though i'm getting a glimpse at the bigger picture. life is being put into perspective. it's amazing how things just work themselves out sometimes. sometimes what we want DOES happen. that always surprises me, but why should it? i think one thing that gave me some clarity was earlier today rhonda and i were at the goat, and i ordered an orange pekoe. i immediately turned to her and appologized for my lack of diversity. i find myself doing that a lot, appologizing for my perferences. i said to her "orange pekoe isn't very interesting" she said "it's tea, it doesn't need to be interesting". i thought "true" then i said "in some ways i'm very interesting but other ways very dull" she said "that's ok, you don't have to be interesting in everyway. that would be a little too much and would overwhelm people" or something like that. that blew my mind!! what an ingenius thought! why hadn't that occured to me before!?!?! i shouldn't feel bad for not liking certain things. that being said i have an announcement to make:
• i don't like herbal teas, green tea or peppermint tea.
• i don't like the taste of beer.
• i don't like spicy foods.
i do NOT need to appologize for this – so stop making fun of me.

i am a lonely visitor. i came too late to cause a stir.
though i've champaigned all my towards that goal.

hey, that's funny... i was thinking at the theatre that prairie wind would be a good title for a post. thanks for sharing the movie with me.

hahaha. that's awesome! i also briefly considered 'crazy horse'. man, that would be a good one, i might still use it. thanks for coming along, i enjoyed your company :)

i just dug out my space heater to warm up the place.

crazy horse WOULD be a good one. nice. btw, i think it's brrr. burrs are those annoying things from nature that the velcro guy got his idea from. hope you get warmer!

yelsel said...
