Jess and Joy: Happenings as of Late

1/28/13

-I found some awesome new bands lately including, City and Colour, The Paper Kites, Radical Face, Young the Giant, and Freelance Whales.

-I painted my nails a rose color yesterday. Valentines day is only a couple weeks away...

-I have a guilty pleasure. I am addicted to Pretty Little Liars.

-I have been reading Jesus Calling, my Bible, and sipping on some coffees from my cat mug every morning. It's a pretty great way to start my day.

-Even though I try to deny I'm a romantic, I'm a sucker for love stories and happily ever afters.

-I've played Quelf twice in the last week. Funniest game of my life.

-I got to step up in leadership on my hall. So excited!

I have no idea what my future may hold, but that makes me kinda excited!

-I went on a date all by myself to Farm Basket on Saturday. Drank sweet tea, enjoyed the view, and finished Catching Fire. It was fun. Sometimes people look at me like I'm weird, but hey, I don't mind being alone.

-I talked to a cute boy today for about 30 seconds. The conversation centered around yogurt. Story of my life. Gotta think of some more interesting topics for next time. Of course my awesome roommate got super excited for my obvious progress.

-I want to go thrifting soon. Anybody want to come with?

-I am taking a Cultural Anthropology class. We've been giving short video presentations before class. I haven't done mine yet, but it's going to be on Taiwan. I'm kinda nervous...

-My brother gets here in 24 days. I am ecstatic.

-I've been talking myself a lot more then normal.

-That quote? Awesome. That man? I would have married him too. Good choice, Elisabeth.

1. That sounds like a wonderful way to spend a morning.

2. Alone dates are AMAZING. And needed.

3. If you lived close we'd be thrifting right now! Ha except I would depend on you for the finds...I have the worst luck with thrift stores. :(

I love that quote! In the day and age where everyone is attached to their cell phones, so many people forget to actually live life!

Good ol' Jim Elliot. This list sounds about like my list of the week including ONE new music find: City and Colour. Yes!

I LOLed at your "talk with the cute boy" remark, because I daily call my best friend (married) so we can laugh at my 'less than stellar' interactions with the attractive opposite sex... I know. Lame.
