boys, vehicles, and rainy days.

just in case all you women out there were wondering, there are, in fact, caring, honest, and genuine men in the world. don't lose hope :)



i think i may have found a buyer for my car! i bought the thing back in july, and it passed away on me twice, and i just can't handle it anymore. besides, hopefully hunter and i are going to live in the city in the near future, and it would be pointless to have a car while living there. oh well, we've gotta make mistakes in order to learn anything, right?

so, i am declaring, hopefully and confidently, that i am going to be a music major. so much for testing out all of the technical, stiff majors out there. music is what i really love, so why not just dive in head first and shimmy? i don't have anything to lose. on that note, i've decided to start putting myself out there more, here and there, with this whole music thing. [austin nevins, if you are reading this, i would love love LOVE to take guitar lessons from you.. please don't hesitate to offer ;) ] now, i realize that those last two sentences were a bit contradictory, but i'm working on it, i promise :)

xoxox.

oh, p.s. i tried dying my hair blonde tonight, and it literally didn't do anything. nothing at all. nope. comeon, chemicals, do your job!

blankets.

this morning is perfect... outside it's foggy, cold, a little bit rainy, but i'm laying here cozy and warm in my bed. i have today off, my first complete day off in... honestly longer than i can remember. warm blankets, hot chocolate, tessie, a book... lovely :) 

i think i'll go into the city and explore today. i have to organize my class schedule for next semester, which i think is going to be a little difficult, considering i have no idea what i want to do anymore. i need to be enlightened this coming semester, or i swear i'm going to go crazy!

i don't think i have ever felt more proud to live in this country as i do now. i just feel so lucky to be young, informed, and able to have participated in such a momentous moment in our country's history. this idea of change, of a true united states, makes me feel like i can breathe comfortably for the first time. i love how hunter explained it: the past two years (of eight years, for that matter...) have been physically exhausting. the frustration that this entire country has gone through was lifted and finally gave us a sense of peace. that night, november 4, 2008, our country slept comfortably again.

it's remarkable how one person can have such a tremendous affect on such a giant community of people.

love,

ashley.
