Curly

When one's hair is very curly (as mine most certainly is), humidity, and even rain are not distressing. In fact, the curls thrive with all that moisture in the air. My head is full of Insta-Curls: Just add Water! : D

However, when the weather goes from humid and rainy to windy to hot to weird (read: this week in VA Beach), my hair tries frantically to adapt. Unfortunately, this means that it tries to be straight (HA!) and curly at the same time. Translation: My curls stand straight out from my head. As in, perpendicularly.

We are unimpressed.

Psalm 154

A lament. A song of Sarah.

Why, O Laptop, will you not work?
I sit before thee and weep for my work is no more.
Why would you choose just now to cease thy blessings?
My life is bereft without you!
If you will turn your bright face towards me,
I will dance with joy and no longer call out imprecations at you.

O Lord, see my plight!
Take my computer in hand!
Do not allow it to gloat over me;
Rejoicing in its power over me it sneers and will not obey.

Rejuvenate it O Lord
and bring peace again to my heart.
If you do not arise on my behalf O God,
I will be forced to journey to the computer lab
and spend long lonely hours in desolation.

Save me O God,
in your mercy save me.

ohhh college...

It has been a long day when laying your head on the table during class looks genuinely cozy and you feel happier just thinking about it.
