| It has been over a year and my roommate Rachelle will take over this
xanga site (although I'm sure that no one subscribes to this
anymore). She is obsessed with xanga. o.m.g.
Here are some quotes from Blue Like Jazz:
“I mean that to be in a relationship with God is to be loved
purely and furiously. And a person who
thinks himself unlovable cannot be in a relationship with God because he can’t
accept who God is; a Being that is love.
We learn that we are lovable or unlovable from other people,” Paul
says. “That is why God tells us so many
times to love each other.” -147
God risked Himself on me.
I will risk myself on you. And
together we will learn to love, and perhaps then, and only then, understand
this gravity that drew Him, unto us. -

I was in love once. I
think love is a bit of heaven. When I
was in love I thought about that girl so much I felt like I was going to die
and it was beautiful, and she loved me, too, or at least she said she did, and
we were not about ourselves, we were about each other, and that is what I mean
when I say being in love is a bit of heaven.
When I was in love I hardly thought of myself; I thought of her and how
beautiful she looked and whether or not she was cold and how I could make her
laugh. It was wonderful because I forgot
my problems. I owned her problems
instead, and her problems seemed romantic and beautiful. When I was in love there was somebody in the
world who was more important than me, and that, given all that happened at the
fall of man, is a miracle, like something God forgot to curse. - 151
Tony the Beat Poet says the words alone, lonely, and loneliness
are three of the most powerful words in the English language. I agree with Tony. Those words say that we are human; they are
like the words hunger and thirst.
But they are not words about the body, they are words about the
soul. - 152
I am something of a recluse by nature. I am that cordless screwdriver that has to
charge for twenty hours to earn ten minutes use. I need that much downtime. -152
***OH my gosh... one last thing... I have the coolest roomate ever this year!... I wish I could be her =)
