these days are the worstest

i wasn't going to write because we are all so sad and our hearts are breaking and broken. but then i got mad because no one can take away good thoughts and feelings and, if there is one thing i think life is about, it is healing. so we're healing and growing and mourning together. there is beauty in that, not an easy beauty but a hard beauty - one that leaves us breathless and gasping because we have already been destroyed and need anything to hang on to, especially each other. so i'm trying to share it up and talk about my day.

sunday i went on an adventure to circuit city to purchase a new stereo. i was apprehensive about this endeavor for two reasons: 1. i just bought a new stereo two years ago and it's broken which seems wasteful 2. i didn't want to purchase another cheap thing only to have it break because i am not made of money. i picked out something i felt was reasonably priced but almost fainted when i got to the counter, heard the actual price with everything included, and then accused the cashier of "hidden charges." he alleged this was not true. sometimes a girl has to be a little feisty. hidden charges or not, my new pretty stereo was installed and i have been rocking out for the past few days since i have not only a cd player but can also hook up my ipod. wowza. yay for music in the car again!
