My house has many windows. During the day, I see SO many people walking outside. But let me tell you something: these people are not ordinary college students. They are trendy walkers, stylish bike riders, and intense joggers. It is some strange anomaly. When I lived closer to campus, I never saw people like this. So my questions are: Where do they come from? Why do they all live around my house and in my ward? and lastly....Why are they all so intimidating?
So tonight, I decided to attempt to join their ranks. Jessica and I walked outside casually and almost immediately, we made friends. Two fairly interesting gents paused to talk for a moment. Seconds later, a guy named Boo riding a 1959 Vespa stopped to join our conversation. Following that, a car stopped and another dude befriended us! People honked and waived and bikes passed in harmony with our group of people. And somehow, I felt really accomplished being one of the cool people outside.
Wow. My life is so lame at times. These meaningless things just make my heart happy. I'm just so fascinated that being outside has become the "in" thing these days.

I love your blogs.
The cat in the previous post looks a lot like me.
I wanted to be a cool kid, and I'm glad I have a bike so I am totally one of them now. Bikes make you look environmentally-conscious, so then all the liberal free-spirits want to be your friend.
I love when I look environmentally unconscious. That's the kind of people I want to hang out with. Which is why I married Kyle, who loves genocide and destroying nature.
You're the one exception, Caitlin :)
