on my mind

last weekend i helped dj the lds prom
in a neighboring county.
we played "barbie girl",
it was requested by several kids.
of course, an adult came up and
complained of the "questionable" content.
(obviously they don't really get it)

we played several other requests that night
after craig previewed them.
on my way home i downloaded one of the songs on my phone
and listened to it.

craig is officially fired as music previewer.
riddled with profanity.
b- and f- words prolifically throughout.

interestingly, no one complained about it.
?

i bought tickets to go visit

my friend natalie in virginia.

we worked together at a bookstore

in provo

many, many years ago.

we discovered we were kindred spirits

just before she and her husband moved to texas.

we lost touch,

but found each other a few years ago via facebook

and have rekindled our friendship through blogs and e-mail.

i'm so excited to finally see her in person again

all these years later.

score one for the internet.
