So, I finally asked for my own Wise and Otherwise game, and we played it Friday night at Alan's! And it was very good fun- and everyone else really enjoyed it, so I have high hopes we will play it more. It always makes me glad when people enjoy something that I suggested. And when I see that I've grown enough to know how to recommend something without freaking people out about it either...
The name of the blog comes from one of my creations that fooled 4 people- who were all extremely embarrassed, especially Alan and Bryan. Haha!
Everyone is finally coming back to campus, and I'm definitely feeling a "seeing a bunch of friends rush." I've been in a really good, hyper mood all day, basically. I love it when people come back.
On a more philosophical note, the other day right before I got in the shower, Taylor Swifts "Love Story" came on my wake-up mix, so I spent the shower thinking about one of the lyrics- "I love you and that's all I really know."
This is an odd sentiment, I think. Recently I rewatched seasons 6 and 7 of Boy Meets World, and Cory mentions something in his written vows (I have a thing against self-written vows, I think, because we never promise the hard stuff) about how he hasn't known much growing up, but he's always known that he loves Topanga. What does the mean? I love you and that's all I know. I don't think that's a very attractive statement. I want someone who actually knows what love means, knows what they're getting into. Knows that sometimes the love isn't going to come as easily as it might be coming in this moment. It sounds all romantic, but really, it's only skin deep. Love isn't just a feeling, it's a choice, a decision, something you have to recommit to daily. I mean, it's got all the good fuzzys too, but not all the time I don't think. And that's something you need to be aware of. "All I know is that I love you" sounds like all you know is that you have this overwhelming feeling currently.
It kind of reminds me of when my dad told me mom that he thought he was falling in love with her, and she kind of freaked out, because she didn't like saying it like that, because 1- it sounded like something that you're completely not in control of, alluding to the fact that just like you're falling in love, you might just fall out of love, and you don't really know why you feel that way or if it's going to last, you just know that currently you feel that way. and 2- love was a word she didn't think you should be sharing unless you were closer to thinking about marriage. It's not just something to throw around like it's not a big deal. It's not something you say one day and then decide the next you don't feel anymore.
Anyway... I was just thinking about that and felt like sharing that. Maybe you have your own thoughts on Love? I know I still don't know that much.
Weird, I'm going to have to go to class on Monday...
