Randomness. To the extreme.

So Pat and Ellen and Lauren and I were studying at the Bourgeouis Pig yesterday. We had every intention of spending hours pouring over our textbooks, I promise. But out of nowhere, Pat gets a phone call from Mr. Anonymous (ok he's not really mr. anonymous, i just don't remember his name) and suddenly Pat turns to us and asks,

"Who wants to go to the Cubs game tonight?"

So we went! And we had such great seats! It was GREAT! Ok, so maybe we lost... to the stinkin' Pitsburgh Pirates... but I love going to the ballgame.

Then, as we pull up in front of Pat's apartment to drop him off, we notice a dodgeball tournament in session across the street. We couldn't resist! So we join 50 random strangers in this juvenile yet UNBELIEVABLY FUN game! So random!

Another random fact: I discovered yesterday that Tim considers his political views to be "moderate". TIM! That's halfway to liberal! Liberal = chaos! I thought you were one of us :)

Verbatim

Random quotes: (just a few of my favorites)

Lauren: There are some people in this world that were just made to be crazy... I'm glad I'm not one of them!

my DAD: "the next time you go to Romania, I'm going to send you to the seminary in Bucharest. You're going to have to gather all the single boys and have them stand in a line. First ask them, 'how many of you would like to come to America?' and maybe 50 boys will step forward. Then ask them, 'how many of you have been praying for a wife?' and then about 25 will step forward. Out of those, ask 'how many of you speak English?'... you'll get maybe 10. Then ask, 'how many of you can afford to buy a ring?' and then two will stand out. Then, you pray really hard and ask God to show you which of the two to marry."

Buni: I remember that one time it rained really big time...

Andrew (an American on our team): If you're not done in doua minute you're gonna curata your own plate!

me: "Wow, I feel so great this morning, like I can conquer the world... literally!"
Tabea: "How can you conquer the world? You're not German."

Dear Readers;

I have to write a paper for my Bible class on any theme or person in the bible. It can be on ANYTHING. I'm so torn! Maybe I should write about "grace"? ... but I don't want to oversimplify it with a dinky term paper. Hmmm. Perhaps I should write about "sacrifice"? But what aspect of it? Eeeek! Please help!

Any recommendations?

I'm not obsessed... I promise! 

They're coming!

Guess what?! Shane and Shane are coming to Chicago on November 11. NOVEMBER 11!! Do you know what this means?? Their concert is on the eve of my birthday... which is no coincidence, folks. This must be God's birthday present to me!
