Staring at the debris, wanting it to be...better.

If you were a wood-you'd be cherry
If you were a flavor-you'd be mango-berry
If you were a gem-you'd be sapphire
If you were a comedy-you'd be satire
If you were a drink-you'd be coffee
If you were a candy-you'd be toffee
If you were a color-you'd be green
If you were a word-you'd be 'keen'
If you were a friend-you'd be the best
And be my favorite like all the rest

In case you didn't understand-those are all my favorite things in the categories listed. This was written for a very good friend.
I visited Gateway to India last night---quite nice. Though I think I'll stick to Thai food mainly. Their mango lassi (drink) is awesome! It contains, among other things, yogurt, mango and rosewater. Truly good in combating spicier than spicy foods. I can't believe my friend Sarah went the whole five stars on the spiceometer. Hats off Sarah Bear-a! That girl has guts. Or did until last night- I don't know how she fared after dinner since we parted ways. I had such a good time and enjoyed meeting her friend Veronica. I figure, any friend of Sarah's must be pretty swell-just from knowing the awesomeness that is...well...Sarah C.

My room is messy. Very messy. Like as in I have to wash clothes if I want clean ones to wear to church tomorrow. Gross. I'm such a neat freak in other parts of my life. It's kind of ironic. Not really though. I just like using the word 'ironic'. Roll it around a few times in your mouth. eye-ron-ick. Nice, isn't it?

Life happens, doesn't it? Happens a lot. I think I'm kind of rambling at this point. Meh. No one reads these things but me anyway. So I do believe I am safe in my insanity. Safe as a yolk in an egg. Unless the egg breaks, which they are prone to do. Hmmm...must think of a better simile for future use. Speaking of eggs-reading a book called The Big Over Easy (recommended by my friend Mo-glow) which is like Raymond Chandler meets Mother Goose meets British detectives. Pretty funny-but serious too. Other good books the library wants back, but I'm still in the middle of:

Jane Fairfax (Emma from another POV)

Don Quixote(really hilarious actually and some solid wit)

Not a Safe God (interesting realities about the One I worship)

Rahab (cool historical fiction on that famous Jerichoan)

Only Revolutions (Okay, this one kind of sucks, but format is interesting...so...)

Desperaux (must borrow from sister, kid's book, but wonderfully written. Warning: it will make you sigh and cry and then sigh some more).

Toodle Pip.
