isn't it interesting, how people never turn out the way you think they are going to? like, when you've heard a lot about someone and then you finally meet them - they're never exactly what you were expecting. often, they're quite opposite. and it's not necessarily bad, just interesting.
like, I never thought Emily was going to be tall. either of them.
Lauren and Anna have heard about each other for the past year - I'm sure when they finally met last week they weren't expecting what each turned out to be.
I met my friend's fiance yesterday, and he wasn't quite what I had pictured him to be in my mind.
not to say I didn't like him, because I did like him. he was just....different than my expectations. not bad, just different.
I find it an interesting phenomenon of the human mind, how we make expectations of people, conciously or not. I guess having out expectations blown away is just a reminder how complex people really are. it's kind of fun.
oh yes by the way my friend Lauren is engaged and wants me to be the maid of honor!!! I'm so excited.......and very excited for all the wedding planning/dress shopping stuff too!
and driving to the concert tonight I got more lost than I've ever been in my entire life before. it was funny.....later on. drat it though, I need to refill my gas tank soon. it would have been more fun getting lost if I had more gas. ;)
wow! congratz on the maid of honor thing! umm, congradulations to her too . . . if you get my meaning . . lol.
ReplyDeleteand yes, i totally agree with you. different, not bad, but cool. very.
Wow, a friend getting married, how WEIRD!
ReplyDeleteahh, I can't wait till all of my cousins and friends start getting married, it's going to be awesome. :D
Sometimes we form expectations on places, as well. It's a very weird thing.
yeah, it's not quite as weird as I thought it would be. like, I'm not jealous or anything, like some best friends get. and she is 20, so it could be worse, if she was my age and getting married! that would be kind of freaky.
ReplyDeleteapparently we're going wedding dress shopping on Friday. in Tacoma.
only a few of you realize how awful this is. I H-A-T-E Tacoma. drat it.
what is bad about tacoma?
ReplyDeleteI got seriously lost there on Saturday. as in, more lost than I've ever been before. it wasn't really fun...
ReplyDeletebut I think I'm gonna hitch a ride with my friend so I don't have to drive there. it is confusing figuring out Tacoma. ESPECIALLY in the dark/rain.
that's why I don't like Tacoma. :P
rain rain rain
ReplyDeletewe totally talked about this people group in Yemen last night that hasn't had rain in seven years. the government won't listen to them and won't give them a water system, so they blew up all the gas pipes to try to get attention. it's really sad.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't so annoyed with the rain after that. I wish we could give them some of our overabundance.
Wow, I think you're the first among our little circle to be a maid of honnor... how exciting. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat's why I like books, because you can imagine the characters however you like and the book is totally different to everyone... until they make a movie of it, and then you realize just how differently you could have taken it. Anyway. :-)
"boys in books are just better."
ReplyDeleteLol. no offense Jacob.
yeah, say that after the wedding MNM....let's not count our chickens before they are hatched.
or something like that.
<3 you made an appearance! this makes me happy.
none taken. I'd say that it can work both ways, though. lol.
ReplyDeleteBoth ways? Explain.
ReplyDeleteBut before you explain, let me disagree. Boys in books WAY better. You can make all kinds of creative metaphors about their lack of depth and totally escape hurt feelings! Lol On the happier side, you get to see what they are actually thinking instead of trying to guess and feeling uncertain.
Boys in books - it's like they were meant to be. :)
Oh, Kacy, what other books go with The Theif?
I can't believe I misspelled thief.
ReplyDeleteThe Queen of Attolia and the King of Attolia, both of which are fabulous.
ReplyDelete*sigh* Gen. Pol. Sophos. <3
lol no problem...as Becca and I spent most of French reminding each other: it's Tuesday. :P
