will someone explain the 11:11 pm thing? i see bumper stickers and "facebook flair" all the time that says something mildly cheesy like:

11:11 i wished for you...

what does that mean? what myth are they talking about? what wishes are fulfilled at this random hour?

florida is really hot right now. it's so hot you can't even wear pants without sweating. it's so hot it feels like we're all swimming instead of walking. i wish it was fall here... the rest of the country is in fall... but not here...

day before yesterday, my Biology professor gave me an extra point on the quiz for drawing on it. i plan on drawing on every quiz now.

wanna hear something beautiful i read? it's from Song of Songs 5:2-8

"...I sleep, but my heart wakes: it is the voice of my beloved! He knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.
I have put off my coat; must I put it on again? I have washed my feet; must I defile them? My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, and my heart was moved for him. I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock.
I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer. The watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me.
I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved, that ye tell him, that I am sick with love!"

it's such a lovely book... it's hard to understand sometimes, because so much of it is about Christ's love for His people, but it's also about something very very important and awesome:
God invented sex. it's not evil, it's a good thing.

do you have any idea what life would be like if people didn't love each other in that passionate sort of way? i mean, i understand how it is wrong to have sex before marriage because it is the unification of two people. how could you become one with someone you will never be with forever? that wouldn't be becoming whole... that'd be more like splitting apart. i understand that. but i think so many times, churches and "religious people" would have you think that sex itself is evil. that is wrong. everything God made started out good, we just kind of do things our way and make them not so good anymore.

just thinking. because i think it's important that God invented sex and romance and beauty... it's very important. i'm not even sure why or how, but i feel it inside that it's important that i understand that God is passionate just like us.
