So it will be a week today since I moved here. Seattle is breath-taking. For instance we were going to someone's house for dinner yesterday and we were driving up/climbing this hill...in the city mind you...and I literally said Holy Shit! cause the hill was so steep. It feels like a roller coaster...you go up and are not quite what's after the hill.
The last two days have been sunny!!!! YEAH! I sat on the window for a little bit trying to soak up the sun cause I don't know if it will be like this all week. The surprise though is that even when it's cloudy, it's actually pretty warm and it's something my brain is still trying to understand. I've been trying to walk a lot to familiarize myself with city, but my legs are killing me. There's this one hill I have to walk up from school that's going to kill me I think...it's so steep...it's ridiculous. I guess I won't need to join a gym for toning my ass cause that walking will definitely do it.
I think I found an apartment. It's a cute small studio in an old building that's got such great character and really nice manager called Bil. The apartment is at least 5 blocks to school, which I'm very happy about. And hopefully if I get a job at Gap and Starbucks, which I'm going to apply to today, they will all be walking distance.
There's a ton of cute boys around...and totally my type too...we'll see if any of them will do the right thing...I wish Sarah was here with me...
With all these discoveries, I've noticed that my soul is really not here. My body arrived, but I'm not all here. I met Deb who's a singer/songwriter and attends Mars Hill, and she said it took a while for her to fully be here...and I guess it probably will take a while to really arrive. Deb is an amazing woman who I hope to get to know better...hopefully when I'm 45 I'll be like her...completely owning myself.
Oh, I also heard Dave Matthews lives around here and in my dreams, he'll hear me singing at some coffee shop and will approach me and ask if he can record my next CD which I'll gladly say yes.
Ok. people, so that's it for my updates. By the way I started a new blog specifically for wrestling with Christianity...so if you want to see if I'm coming up with any heresies you can always check it out...

Dear Nae. I wish I was there with you too. How about you can have all the boys on the West Coast and I'll take all the Midwestern boys.
I can't argue with that...although I don't know if there's any hope for Midwestern boys...
this is sad but true. i am crying right now.
I found your blog! I should be studying...but I could not resist. I look forward to checking in on your thoughts. It is such a delight to have you in Seattle!
Hope your soul soon finds its way to settle and be with you in Seattle
Nae,
I started a blogroll of new MHGS students, so I put you on the list. Let me know if you'd rather be taken off.
