"on the way home this car hears my confession
i think tonight i'll take the long way.
this weather, the wind outside is biting
it's left me feeling tired and exposed."

the sharp hint of new tears, dashboard confessional

nina comes tomorrow! i seriously can't wait! it has been making me emotional lately, though. example: today ariel and i went to johnny rocket's for lunch. i had the chicken club (bacon, lettuce, tomato, chicken and sourdough bread) and i don't remember what ariel had. i was telling ariel about nina and i, the history that i have with that girl. i got through the entire story without eating a bite of the second half of my sandwich. there was a pause in the conversation and i picked up a piece of bacon and i was thinking to myself about how valuable her friendship is to me. and so there i am, in johnny rockets with a mouthful of bacon, crying. it was pathetic.

nothing could ever explain the history of grace, forgiveness and joy that i have with her - except maybe the sacrifice of the cross and the continuation of our relationships with the Lord. and that rocks my world!

LAST DAY OF ARIEL'S NIGHT FLOAT!!!!! i'm so happy, it was the hardest shift he's worked in a long time i think. and in 12 hrs it's officially over!
