Random Junk to Compensate Until Tomorrow

transomwhiplassI have something to say but I will save it for tomorrow.
Today has been interesting and not what I expected.
A shot in the dark.

I'm worried about someone right now. I want to go to school tomorrow, but then again part of me doesn't.
Vague rhymes with "The Hague" which is the (administrative) capital of the Netherlands. The "Netherlands" sounds like something a from the Phantom Tollbooth.
I feel crazy right now.
Today's names for tomorrow's children are:
1. Nicolena "Deuty" (Short for Deuteronomy) Fo' Sho'
2. Nicolena "Faji" (Short for Fajita, but w/ the j pronounced; i.e. fa-gee short for fa-gee-ta) Fo' Shizzle
3. Nicolena "Dutchy" (Short for Dutchess) In da' Hizz-ous
It's funny to pronounce all "j"'s like "g"'s and all "g"'s like "j"'s. Or at least pronounce J's as J's rather than silent H's. That was our lunch time discovery. You get words that sound like "Tay-jas" (Tejas), "Fa-gee-ta", "Jal-ie-peeno", "Ka-jo-nays", etc.
I'm tired (as always) but I have something to do which I know I won't do but I should anyway.

Random Sarah Fact:
I did not see "The Passion of the Christ." I don't really plan to. I don't think I can take it seriously enough and with the amount of media attention, sudden "inspirations" to return to faith, I think I'd rather find my own path. However, today.. just.. this morningand afternoon.. it was so lovely I was reminded of a line from a movie. Everything was gorgeous. Not just the cloudless weather and mild-warm weather, it was all so amazing that I was just in absolute awe. It touched me at the core, I felt so alive, I had a swagger to my step, and a bounce to my head which I think I even held higher to feel closer to the beautiful clear sky. Absolutely amazing. It has happened several times in this week and I just look around with awe and go "wow," and I'm reminded of this line from a movie. "Joe vs. the Volcano" has Tom Hanks and he is this hypochondriac who is told that he has a terminal disease by a rich guy. The trade is: "Joe" gets to spend all this money and have this fancy trip to this pacific island where he jumps into the volcano so that the rich guy can get some kind of element from the land for making "super conductors." Whatever. Anyway. Joe has this adventure which involves getting totally reawakened to life including when he gets shipwrecked and is forced to use his luggage trunks as a raft (this is all very amusing by the way). The moment before he collapses in total exhaustion from dehydration, exposure, etc.. on the rafts he sees the moon rising in the horizon and it is huge and he pretends to lift it up. But what really gets me is when he collapses, he looks up kind of wincing and just says with such humblenes and resolve.. "God, Thank you for my life." It's amazing. It just reaches me on another level entirely and yet it is so simple. Today, that was what I felt crossing the courtyard. I just felt so humble and absolutely thankful to be alive.
