Just Messing Around


I found an application on facebook that goes through past facebook statuses (statii?) and makes a collage. I noticed all the words deal with things I've posted in the last month. As I look at it, I keep being struck by different, amusing thoughts.

YOU FINISHED NOTHING - what do you call college graduation??

PROCRASTINATING - fitting that it is in the center of the picture, but look at what it's close to:
Procrastinating best tonight
Procrastinating early much
aka procrastinating

24 ELVES TODAY VISIT - maybe they'll bring fruit?

Morphosyntax makes for delicious writing? As long as I devote some time to sleep. It's a childhood thing.

I like cookies and pizza.

Application made cultural rocks

I think that the hours are pretty marvelous

The Johnsons (my housemates) and Swahili project rank near the top.

I could go on and on, but for now, will the shoemaker please make some spontaneous grammar?

Yup.

On the way home from school...

For Jesus:

I will succumb
to your light in my darkness

I will succumb
to your love in the hardships

I will succomb
to your comfort in my distress
 
I will succumb
to your guide when I can't find the way

I will succumb 
to your arms in my weariness

I will succumb
to your grace in the midst of my rage

I will succumb
to your peace in my desperateness

I will succumb
to your all-consuming power...

But I will not
give you up
I will not
I will not
let you go 
until you bless me.
