i'm not happy.
but happiness was never God's plan for me,
it was redemption
if we can call them friends then we can call them on their telephones
and they won't pretend that they're too busy or that they're not alone
and if we can call them friends then we can call
holler at them down these hallowed halls
just don't let the human factor fail to be a factor
at all
-------
and we were tired of being mild
we were so tired of being mild
and we were tired...
i know we're going to meet some day
in the crumbled financial institutions of this land
there will be tables and chairs
there'll be pony rides and dancing bears
there'll even be a band
cause listen, after the fall there will be no more countries
no currencies at all, we're gonna live on our wits
we're gonna throw away survival kits,
trade butterfly-knives for adderal
and that's not all
ooh-ooh, there will be snacks there will
there will be snacks, there will be snacks.
--------
so don't you,
don't you worry
about the atmosphere.

andrew bird is a brilliant lyricist.
is that the right word? i almost wrote "write" word, like a bad pun.
i love puns, knock knock jokes, and free chocolate soy milk.
oh, and my housemate makes great cookies.
hi, my name's naomi and i'm still figuring out [life after post-secondary education].
my ties are still tight there, though; i'm dating someone still in college and teaching at my alma mater's inter-varsity group.
speaking of which.... tell me, why shouldn't we judge people [lest we be judged]? i'm trying to figure that out.
i certainly don't feel qualified for this.
and i certainly don't feel certain about all of [this] everyday, you know, the whole, Jesus Christ, God, Holy Spirit thing. i mean, i'm sure,but Jesus, i feel like i'm struggling here. i know your Goodness exists, and actually, you are only Good. sometimes i struggle to feel your love completely surround me.
but i know your truth exists in the scripture of Matthew 7:1-6 and most of scripture and that there are lessons worth teaching, and that every Bible story points to you, teaches about youuu, you, you, you're everything and in everything and with everything in this constant flow
i learn so much about this Truth and Goodness from our phone calls i take notes from, in pencil and in pen, point form and scribbles, i apologize for the delay in response, i need to get it all down, so i don't forget. so the Truth and Goodness can go deep down into my soul and brain and being.
