The snow collects the good with the bad, as can be seen when it melts. This blog is my snow, holding onto my experiences.

these have been days of extreme emotion.
maybe it's that way every day for you, but I'm not used to this kind of thing! (at least not as much as lately.)
yesterday, worked in a gas station for 9+ hours (promoting CREDIT CARDS AGAIN!) and sometimes the deadness of it (veerrry slow) was soooo hard on me (there wasn't even a radio playing!) but other times, i talked w/ some workers there about traveling (yeah, you make me jealous, Aaron)- and it was soooo wonderful to hear about places others have been, or to imagine where i could go- - and there was something very dramatic about the sky- it was mostly blue, but when i looked out the window, peeking around the corner were storm clouds above green trees and a railroad track, and it reminded me of a picnic in South Dakota. and when i finally got home, i was really happy and felt soooo loved, because I had gotten mail (from Aaron) and messages from my dear friends!! hurray! oh, and I also really wanted Aaron's dad to come into the gas station. (why? most of the customers were local truckers or construction workers- and none looked like him- maybe 'cause I've felt close to my own dad lately, and don't know Aaron's dad at all- - w/ that, I feel that way about his whole family, but I don't know how to get close- in-person can be great, like if Aaron's dad had come in, but it's not necessary or viable sigh)
then today has been good- but guys have been weird- cool, nice to work w/, but one just went off about my school (and Christians in general)- and i didn't feel like I necessarily had to defend it, but it was hard to explain myself to him. he didn't understand the rules here- thought they were too confining- that during college, you're supposed to do stupid stuff and grow through it. i think that's true, but that still doesn't mean I'd actually want to go out to clubs and bars- they don't appeal to me, and I can have plenty of fun w/o alcohol (and probably not too much fun w/ it!) anyways, I was explaining Aaron (or at least small parts of him) to the guys- what he's studying (they asked what he's written about)- and based off what I said, the guy thought Aaron's just a normal guy (well, he is) and somehow, it was a big controversy or something, because the guy thought i was good two-shoes and thought Aaron was risque- - and then the guys were making this big deal about salsa dancing and how sexual it was . . . . so they were trying to get me mad for no reason- - so my extreme emotion of today is not anger, but i really feel like I need a girl to talk to! Where are you? oh, well . . . but we'll talk soon- the outdoor movie tonight's Hook

Oh sweetheart -- you should know never to trust guys hanging out at a gas station selling credit cards! ;)
And salsa dancing is far from sexual when you are watching your own feet the whole time, trying not to mess up! I wished you could have been there with me!

Thanks, Aaron!! But there's always something new to learn about guys- and who better from than a guy?? But I believe you more than them-- you know what you're experiencing
and I'd like to salsa w/ you, too- and I'd hope I''d get the rhythm down! I'd rather watch you than my feet. It was nice that Laura tried teaching us girls- and I hope you get more comfortable dancing as you salsa more!
