( 11:42 AM ) shut up christine

something is unsettling
i can't put my finger on it
but i wake up some mornings feeling...unsettled

and i don't know how to explain it, except that it feels like a time several years ago when my sis and i spent a whole afternoon collecting hundreds of roly polies from the vegetable patch of our backyard

and after gathering a small mountain of roly polies, we went to show our dad

and he came over then with the flat end of his hoe he smashed the roly polies into the sidewalk and i remember screaming but there was nothing we could do
and all that was left was a big crunchy gray stain on the sidewalk

i don't know how else to describe the feeling, but i know its my fault

don't read into this too much, i don't know what i'm talking about

this last month:

- i learned how to drive an RV. who woulda thought
- took a grantwriting class
- slept with a homeless man. next to him actually
- i cooked one good dish. only one, but it was really good i think
- i tried a mild form of fasting, for one week, to get my mind into the right space in prep for COH. it was too hard and I couldn't do it, but the process continues to affect me mentally, in a positive way.
- as of yesterday, i can swim without a kickboard. i am SO proud of myself
- internally said avjo (goodbye) to Ultimate Number One. also proud of myself for this one
- didn't run that much, but its alright. tis a new month
- i am no longer vegetariano. who am i kidding. although warm meats retaining their animal shapes slightly freak me out.... it feels like i'm eating their body heat, if that makes sense. blahh
- my room is ridiculously neat. i think i need to get out more
- huge changes. huge
- job search to be continued...

Every time you make a choice
you are turning the central part of you,
the part of you that chooses, into something
a little different from what it was before.
- C.S. Lewis

Lately my choices have included stuffing my chipmunk face with Famous Amos cookies.
damn you, Amos

giving.

this past weekend was Change of Heart, which was incredible and i will have to write more about it later
but there's one thing i wanted to mention
i hadn't brought any blankets so Sukh offers me his sleeping bag and pillow
i tell him aw no thanks, its a warm night i'll be fine
of course he won't have any of it, for 15 minutes we argue back and forth
in the end i'm bundled up in his sleeping bag but i CAN'T freakin sleep because i know he's freezing
and i'm MAD!! its my own freakin fault that i didn't bring a blanket.
it's painful taking from someone when you know they have to go without, or that they, in a way, will suffer by giving
and i hate that but i'm learning that sometimes you have to let them.
swallow your pride and let them give to you.

second lesson:
i had just told Sukh this weekend how much i love! reading the info@bethecause.org emails,
its my favorite thing, the best part of my day.
today we had a conversation about empowerment and giving people opportunities to serve. then he makes a suggestion: maybe i should pass the responsibility on to someone else.
in my head i'm thinking HELL NO!! I LOVE THIS WHY WOULD I DO THAT?
and therein the question lies the answer, this is exactly why i need to give it up.
as much as i would want to keep doing it for myself, it's not about me.
i'm kind of sad, but honestly what a beautiful thing to share with someone else

arre, he is always helping me grow.

ahh i ask myself one question everyday:
HOW in the world did this happen???

how did i get to be on the receiving end of messages like these...

To whom this may concern:
I don't know what it is, but i just have an urge to make a difference. I am a college freshman and i attend Southeastern University. I live in Florida, and i feel the need to do something amazing. Please help me help. I want to make a difference and i want to start here.

Hello,

My name is * and I am a current student at Chapman University. For one of my classes I am required to do volunteer work, and felt a tug at my heartstrings toward your charity. I had an uncle who did time in prison on drug-related charges, so I understand how hard it can be to re-acclimate to the world upon release, especially in those first few cruel hours. I would like to work with your charity on the RV for 3, three-hour shifts this coming month if at all possible. Please let me know how I would go about signing up to help!
Thank you for your time!

I'm a student at Germantown High School in Germantown, TN. I'm writing today to ask what I can do to help the cause in my community. I want to be the cause of a profound change!

Hi There,
I own a Travel Agency in Huntington Beach and we always have a lot of extra lotions, shampoo and so forth from hotels. I was wondering if you would like to have this stuff for the homeless? I hate to say it, but it usually ends up in the trash.
Let me know if you're interested and are able to come and pick it up.
We could do this on an ongoing basis, maybe with a pickup every few months.

Hi Christine,
My name's *. I'm receiving numerous emails from * about various events you are promoting for such as this one... I would like to volunteer. How can I get involved?
Look forward to hearing from you soon!

it's a GOOD life, for sure.

in other news, more reasons why Brian is the best running partner EVERRR:
1. nights spent walking pirouetting to the park by my house
2. getting to the park, changing our minds, going out to eat instead
3. "DONUT!!" upon finding a powdered donut chillin on the sidewalk, and daring each other to eat it
4. ending the evening watching The Hills and eating chocolates on the couch
