Excitement

Two important things, one request, and a fun fact:

Important Thing #1: I got my belly button pierced yesterday. Tabatha and I were supposed to do it together, but because she and Amy botched an at-home piercing job (Amy has a track record for that, remind me to tell you what she did to me some time...) so the Sarah refused to do anything for her until at least a month later. However, I went first, because I knew watching Tabby go through it could possibly freak me out the front door, and...it's done. It's tender, and touching it sends a little zing! of pain through my abdomen, especially when I'm not expecting it. Otherwise, I now have a little spring-green jewel hidden in the dip of my navel, surmounted by a little steel ball which I am NOT allowed to touch for quite a while, not remove for 4-6 months. Still, I am very excited about it. And (muahaha) when Tabby gets hers pierced...the raucous laughter I'll have to restrain...

Important Thing #2: Yesterday, while at work, I talked to two of the people I work with, Torri and David, and they're coming out to church with me. SO EXCITED. Torri is a black gal about my age, very sweet - she is coming out with me tonight to the biggest gathering of the week, but I can't wait for her to meet everyone and make more good friends. She has the most beautiful 5-month-old son, and I met him last night. The roundest cheeks, the darkest curls, the biggest eyes...In other words, hypnotically adorable. I've been trying to hang out with her for a while, but we keep crossing wires communication-wise. Then last night, she tells me she's free today! And then there's David, a quiet 20-something guy who lingers at the Information Desk, who I enjoy visiting with. He was out for a while, and as we talked about it over our mutual break I invited him out. With a shrugg, he said "Why not? It's worth a try" so he's coming out this Monday to probably the best meeting for guests to come to. The first half of the day was spent texting half of my Contacts List in my post-piercing euphoria; the last hour of the day was spent calling people and leaving voicemails to PRAY PLEASE PRAY SO EXCITED GUESS WHAT?! And then Dave came over, and I showed off my piercing to him. And I got the approval. But of course! More midriff! *winks*

One Request: To my commentors, if you could do me one big favor - identify yourself. I like knowing who's reading, and I am so excited to have someone reading who I'm not expecting. If I didn't give you the address, I don't mind, I love having people read this. So, when "Me" or "Me, guess who" or "Anonymous" leave comments...I go crazy! So, when you comment, opt to leave your name for me. If you could do that for me, nothing could make me happier! :)

And A Fun Fact: I turn 19 in 24 days :-D

Have a good day all - love and hugs.

My name is Hope, We played softball. I'm too much of a girl to handle getting my ears pierced, let alone my tummy.

I Watch You Smile - You Steal the Show

Anyone ever see "Mean Girls" with Lindsey Lohan? When she was pissed off, she suffered from a symptom she dubbed "word vomit". Hers was the result of her convulsing anger, but I have a different word vomit. Mine is basically the result of my vocabulary and emotions upchucking at the same time. I'm not quite sure what to tell you guys; what's appropriate to say, what you don't need to know, what's too much to tell you. This is probably gonna be a pretty long entry, which might scare you off, but after hearing my unusally discouraging tones I have no doubt that many of you are now riveted. I guess...you guys love me and want to know me, and for some, this is the only way you keep up with me. I'll figure out the limit as I go, I guess. I had a very good talk with my momma today, which is a good sign for our relationship. It was violently and starkly splintered for quite a while, but it has progressed in leaps and bounds lately as I've better und...

The Core Four

What a wonderful delight - the Core Four are back and typing about their lives. Nothing makes my day quite like reading a fresh entry - or two even! - from Tricia AND Traci AND Jans. Nothing compares. Especially Jans; that was what, a two, maybe three month difference between entries? It made me sad, but I checked as often as I thought of it. What a tremendous treat to click your link and find my name invoked in the first sentence - I'll be on a high from that for hours to come. To the rest of you wondering what names I'm referring to, check on my links sidebar; the three of them and I used to live in three different cities and two different states (now three cities and three states), and our little-traveled blogs kept us connected. These girls are the reason why I started writing a blog at all; it's hard to imagine that I once was the worst at updating consistently...now I can't get enough of it, and I run out of stories to tell (which is saying alot for me...) We all ...

The First Stages

2 days ago I had a coffee date with the girl "in charge" of the house I'll be moving into this Sunday. Snuggled down in a sweatshirt over a white chocolate mocha during a drizzly afternoon we went over last minute details to make sure she and I were on the same page. As we wrapped everything up, she told me to wait and dashed to the car; coming back in with a polka dot gift bag I had only eyes for what lay behind the curled red ribbon tying the two handles together: two shiny silver keys. Inside the bag was a beautiful red journal and a heap of candy from all the girls to welcome me into the house, but I couldn't get over the feel of those keys in my hand with fresh cut grooves. I marveled at the sight of them threaded onto my keychain as Sarah Brasse's eyes danced from across the table. I looked up, feeling the warmth of the mocha spread from my abdomen to my fingers and toes and the ends of my hair. "It's real, isn't it?" I said. "It's...
