So, today I decided to paint this Giant peg-board wall I have in my dorm room. It was a solid dark brown, which was nice to break up the monotony of white walls...but a bit boring itself. So, I drove to my house to get my paints. Then I bravely climbed up into our dark, scary, "grudge"-like attic to find my paints. After I drove back to campus and spent a good twenty minutes trying to find a parking space SOMEWHERE in the remotely close-to-my-dorm parking lots. After finding no spaces there, I progressively searched farther and farther away. I finally found one of the very farthest lot- on the literal edge of the MC campus. While walking for miles and miles (not literally) I asked some people what was going on to cause so many cars to be there. Apparently there was a state-wide basketball tournament going on (as well as other events on campus). Ahhh....that explains it. (Methinks MC really needs 'Student ONLY' parking...)
After arriving at my dorm, I put on old Pjs pants, opened my windows (to avoid getting high off paint fumes), turned on some randomized music on my laptop, moved my couch and started painting.
I was very pleased with what I painted! It ended up taking the shape of a large blue/green flower with orange bits, a red center and multi-shade green leaves. Its kind of what they call pop art. Then I scrawled LOVE in messy painty letters off to the side. (Kind of cliche, but love is so important and a beautiful concept.)
As I was cleaning up, and as my room mate walked in the door, an embarrassing Backstreet Boys song just happened to start playing. Of course she recognized it, laughed at me and then told me that she knew it. It now has been stuck in my head all day.
So, that was my big project/adventure of the day. I am well pleased with my work.
Then, to top off my wonderful day, I got to go and hang out with some friends at our bi-weekly worship night! I gotta say, that's one of the highlights of my week. Worship is something so near and precious to my heart and that, combined with my fantastilicious (haha ;D ) friends, is such a delight and encouragement.
So, pretty much, today was excellante.

I love our bi-weekly worship too, but mainly because I have y'all there with me. Jesus and you guys...nothing better! :D And I'm curious...which Backstreet Boys song was it? ;)
Btw, if you can go into your settings and turn off "word verification" that would be awesome. I promise, robots don't generally post on most bloggers... or do they...mwahahahahahaha
Its was "I want it that way." hah
I know all the lyrics. Its kind of sad, really.
