Sometimes, like today [because Zach woke me up from my nap], I get in one of those really bitchy moods where I’m snippy and mean with just about everyone. Best friends, totally innocent people, family, everyone. They say “hi” and I say “bite me.”
Except one person.
There’s that one person who can insult you endlessly. And kick your ass in a pillow fight. And call your cell phone over and over just to listen to your voicemail greeting and leave obscene messages. But somehow I just don’t have the energy or desire to rightfully bitch him out for it.
It’ll pass and I’ll get my revenge when he’s fallen out of my grace on the next Bitch Day. And by then someone else will have the Get out of Bitch Day Free card.
Of course, if I didn’t get into these moods in the first place, it’d be a lot better. I’ve been cranky since Saturday and I don’t even have a biological excuse for it.

As of today, I am unemployed.
Voluntarily.
Because I quit my job.
Finally.

Just got two new mirror shots posted. Finally.
The first is from Brandon’s parents house the first night I stayed there. I remember being very intimidated. I was getting ready for bed, but I was worried about something. I don’t remember quite what anymore.
The second is from in Minneapolis. You’re looking out at Lake and 11th Street from the second floor of the Center for Urban Service. Usually there’s more traffic because Lake is a big street. Yes, I’m wearing a Blogger shirt. And my John Linnell shoes. I was trying to kill time.

New theme added: lyrics. It’s really blue. Text on the graphics is pulled from Candy Butchers, OK Go, Mr. FieldTrip, Guster, eels, and Moxy Fruvous lyrics. This is the theme that’s been in my head since March. So. Now it’s live. Enjoy.

I said I’d write about my experience in Minneapolis, right?
Well. I was there for a week. I worked in 2 soup kitchens, a food delivery service for HIV patients, the largest food pantry in the country, a kids day program, and a shelter. We ate at a soup kitchen every evening. I met awesome people, did some yucky jobs, ate some good food, saw some cool sights, and fell in love a little.
I tend to do that wherever I go.
At the end of the week, we closed with a prayer that I kept. Those of you who know me well know that I’m not at all a religious type, but I thought this really captured the spirit of the week.
May God bless you with discomfort at easy answers, half truths, and superficial relationships, so that you may live deep within your heart.
May God bless you with anger at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people, so that you may work for justice, freedom, and peace.
May God bless you with tears to shed for those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation, and war, so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and turn their pain into joy.
May God bess you with enough foolishness to believe that you can make a differnence in this world, so that you can do what others claim cannot be done.
And the blessing of God, who creates, redeems, and sanctifies be upon you and all you love and pray for this day and forevermore. Amen.
