mikao's world

oh dear

i just got a good laugh out of the fact that someone surfed in here searching for "a&w chubby chicken theme song."

have been reading patricia hersch's book "a tribe apart," which i have read before but have to read for two separate classes now. it is an interesting look into the adolescents of my generation.

went to the library for about 45 minutes this afternoon to break up the monotony of my day, did not see too many people and definitely not anyone i wanted to see. i took holly's laptop into the living room and worked off that all afternoon... a little change of scenery. it was nice to be able to watch people walking by our house the whole time and realize that yes, there is still a thriving community despite the fact all the college and seminary students have pretty much left.

did something today that i have never done in my life before... i drove alone. i took the joe's place ministry car that usually lives in our garage for students to use to the service station around the corner and down the street. and... it was illegal because i don't have my full liscence and am not allowed to drive alone. i've never done anything illegal before.

and tim especially, you will be relieved to know, that excitement of all excitements, i got my first real full-fledged credit card in the mail today, not just a store credit card, but a mastercard. and not just any mastercard, a molson canadian mastercard. molson canadian is, for those of you unaware, a beer company. kind of ironic that someone who has never drank and never plans to gets one of these for a credit card huh? chuckle chuckle.

"'Cause love is different than you'd think
It's never in a song or on a TV screen
And love is harder than a word
Said at the right time and everything's alright
Love is different than you think."
