The Striped Chair and the Plaid Hat

Well, it's Sunday. Another weekend has passed. Last Friday, I went to my friend's house, and we made wacky videos and danced to the hoedown throwdown the whole night ;). Saturday, I saw Thoroughly Modern Millie by HCST the junior version. It was very cute. This morning I went to church. It was all about forgiveness. To gain forgiveness, you must first be forgiven :). It was a good sermon. Then I went to Leah's house. And now...
I'm sitting in my living room, listening to Luke play around on the guitar. It's nearly 7:00. I'm learning to observe the world around me more; I find myself actually stopping to smell the flowers, and breathing in the air every chance I get. My parents are discussing dinner in the kitchen; Luke's playing guitar (now he's turning on guitar hero... natural to virtual); David's playing some kind of wizard video game on the computer.
I'm sitting on our striped chair that we've had as long as I can remember. It's in pretty good shape for being so old. The stripes are red and blue, and the rest of the chair is tan. I've never really taken a good look at it before. Strange how that is... I've seen it more times than I can count, and yet I've never studied it as hard as I am right now. It's rather comfortable, actually.
Wow. Nearly every light in our house is on. We're pretty much using every system of electricity possible right now.
I just had dinner. Now I'm back.
Leah gave me a plaid hat today. It's a fedora, in fact. I've been wanting one of these ever since I saw Jesse wear one to school one day. It's been my goal to get a nice fedora. And now, I have one! Yay!!
A lot of people have the exact same hat. But that's cool. It just shows what great taste Leah and I have. ;)
So I might go to Busch Gardens tomorrow. Maybe. Perhaps. If I go, it's a pretty darn huge commitment; I'm afraid if I go, all it will be is driving in the car for eight hours, moping around the park in the sweltering heat, and going on three or four rides. Sounds mediocre to me... but half of me is feeling that if I don't go, I'm going to be missing out. Plus, I'll get to see all my church friends. Again. Not like I don't see them almost every day! :D
I have a lot more on my mind than I've let on this cool summer evening. A whooole lot. But maybe I'll get into that later :)

"I'm being really weird right now..." *trip*
