I'm going to do it. I'm going to be homeless for five days. SPU has a program called 'Urban Plunge.' Basically, you and two other people are dropped off in the center of Seattle and have to live on the streets for five days. I'm not allowed to shower, and I'm a huge hygiene-monger, so that's gonna be hard. We have to beg for money in order ( Read more... )

My ghost slips from my body; melding to and then passing through the window into the nights. I slowly sink--soaring over the wet black top. The pale light of the streetlamps filter through the thick fog. I am not here. I skim the surface of revelation while floating down the hill. I smoke off the steps like a heavy mist slipping into the ( Read more... )

Well, I'm definitely enjoying SPU. When I came, I wanted to major in psychology, because I am utterly fascinated by people. I wish I had a key that could unlock the mind.

The air is alive with songs tonight. The music of the spheres has converged with the sonata of the twilight. I'm opening my window to allow the wind of the night to sweep me away into a melody of the darkness. The notes float aimlessly into my soul. There's such excitement tonight!

A great person I once knew said that true friends aren't just worth dying for, but they are worth living for. There's nothing like relationships where 100% of the persons involved is revealed. You know that the person will love you no matter what, and you know that you will love them no matter what. These friendships transcend mere support and a ( Read more... )

Thoughts - I have been bitten by the travel bug. I want to visit every single country in the world. Switzerland is currently my favorite. Walking the streets of Bern at night was enthralling: the city became alive at twilight--my favorite time of day. I might find myself in Munich during Spring Break. I've found a fairly good deal on a ( Read more... )
