i want summertime (reprise)

brumm and i spent some time on the roof of our building this afternoon, and it was absolutely gorgeous. gorgeous. i'm totally fried right now, and can no longer claim to be "just the right amount of sunburnt." that would be a lie. still, though, i'm giddy about my redness because that means i've been outside in the sunshine. also, brumm and i actually had a chance to speak to each other, which is exciting because we've been noticeably absent from each other's lives recently due to our completely opposite schedules. we laughed about the huge fools who were outside tanning themselves and talking about business ventures, and we actually had the forethought to text our demonic observations to each other, rather than risk saying them out loud and being overheard by the abovementioned tools.

this morning, i went to church with camden, in preparation for the ethnography on an unfamiliar religious ceremony i have to write for my anthro class. to be honest, i was expecting to hate it, or at least to feel incredibly uncomfortable. however, i actually really enjoyed it. it's not something i believe or would believe, but it was really engaging and funny even. the only way i can properly describe how i feel about it is to say that it seemed really good. and not in the general, i-can't-think-of-a-better-adjective way. everyone there seemed really good, and really sincere, and that was grand. that's not to say that i expected the people to be terrible deems, but my only previous church experience was on easter at a born-again congregation when i was ten and impressionable. i can remember being so terrified of the preacher and the idea of crucification, and it was just all-around not a fab time. this, in contrast, was so positive, so good. sadly, i am still a fat atheist, and will never be anything else.

i'm at work, on a sunday night, in the phone room, where we were anticipating a deluge of phone calls about purchasing tickets to the first round of the NCAA tournament. surprisingly, no one's calling. maybe everyone's doing it online. there are a ton of us in the phone room, more than i think i've ever seen before, and none of us are doing anything. we're talking about the punny names of "air bud" sequels. yes, it has come to this. i'm super excited for two hours from now, when josh and i are going to throw food into our pieholes. i'm so hungry. i don't know what happened to me, but this quarter, tea and a granola bar are no longer enough to get me through a day. andy thinks i'm being a stupid girl when i obsess about my daily food intake and said intake's effects on my lower body, but whatever. he whined about missing his six-pack earlier today, so that makes him a stupid girl too.

i cannot bring myself to read the adolescent development chapterS i have to read. i'm officially caught up with the readings for behavioral and social psych, and in anthro, but i can't handle the adolescent textbook, and therefore, can't do the reading.

weep.
