dielike-dogs asked: I feel like you said something about playing your acoustic stuff here soon?
I wanna go, and I will try my best, but I forgot when you told me you were gonna be here!

A knitting lesson:
Spencer: “Let me show you what I know so far.” (takes needles and stabs skien repeatedly) Laura: “No, you have to cast on 12 stitches, then put the right needle through the loop, bring the yarn from around the back, and pull the needle to back, sliding the stitch off onto the other side.” (demonstrates each step proficiently) Spencer: “Do you see this! Its witchcraft!...
Spencer: “Did I just see you play that with swag?” Joe: “Dawg, she want to be a G too!” Me: (sarcasm) “Actually… I want to be like a G6.”
If you need clarification. Youtube “Like a G6”. I cannot believe this actually exists. The degradation of society.
I’m on the edge of the world I know. Its really beautiful here.

“There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully around with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of...
Daydream and the Deathly Hallows
We went to see Harry Potter today. I’ve been imagining what it would be like if magic existed ever since. I know that sounds rather juvenile, but my creative tendencies often run away with me and I find myself in a fabricated world of what-ifs and irrationality. But I suppose I’d never write if everything I wrote about was completely non-fictional. While in the world of...
We can’t stay away from Forest Hill. Seriously. I’ve been 3 out of 5 days this week. Today we took our mountain bikes. I was told that the 2 mile trail is rated one of the IMBA most epic trails. Then I was told it wasn’t “hard”…when I haven’t mountain biked in over a year, I do not believe that the equivalent of a human powered roller-coaster would be...
Dear Friend,
I wish to express to you the great joy that fills my heart when we meet. When we converse and we share moments of like-minded conveyance. I love listening to your minds. Hearing out your stories about life and hearing you laugh for reasons that no one else quite understands, but the general humor is shared. I love when you sing your music and play what’s in your...
We want to know...
Tonight I heard a whole list of religions’ views on the afterlife. None of it was what I believed. Most of it was inconsequential to my belief system, although I will not be ignorant of it. It just won’t change how I live, just perhaps how I react. It made me realize something that seems to run in the veins of humanity: we want to mean something. There are volumes upon...
"This is war, like you ain't seen."
“How long He laid siege to our hearts! How often He sent us terms of capitulation, but we barred our gates and fenced our walls against Him. Do we not remember that glorious hour when He carried our hearts by storm? When He placed His cross against the wall and scaled our ramparts, planting on our strongholds the bloodred flag of his omnipotent mercy? Yes, we are, indeed, the conquered...
Went to the park this morning. I love it. The trees are on fire.
We have found an urgent need to move. But we have more than enough: 2 boxes of Kashi crackers and oatmeal came for free. At least 50 bagels and 6 loaves of bread. $50 boots for $4.98. Why do we ever think we need anything?
dielike-dogs asked: Much love for Laura.
I want to communicate…more.
Sometimes the things you find faulty in other people, you cannot see in yourself. And if you did, perhaps, just see your flaws, it would help you in understanding their’s.
There is a difference:
Pain is generally not sought after. Unless you’re a masochist, of course. But sometimes the actual understanding of it, how it affects you and others, brings about change. Even though the hearing of your own wrongdoing and shameful action may cut to the quick, and the observation of others blind waywardness demands us address it, to the dismay of our hearts. Sometimes it is for the good...
This is not about:
I awoke to a phone call. It was my dad. My grandmother died a little after 5 this morning. I refuse to write a piteous blog concerning the surreal and strange nature of death and its effect. Some people have death hit them in manners that differ greatly from the method it approaches old bodies and terminal illness. I am sad, but I am happy, because cancer and cigarettes and pain won’t...
Mountains
I feel that there is something so true about height and the hardest fall. I have been so constantly in contemplation concerning the events in my life and the relationships that are intermittently woven into them. Some people grasp your heartstrings with all their might, even if they are unaware of it, and others let them go without any sort of qualm. I desire community. Not in the sense of...
