Curious?

This summer, I stayed home a lot, I fell off the face of the planet, I hung out with my best friend, and I enjoyed the company of my family. I went for weeks without spending money, or talking to other people. I didn't shower, I forgot to brush my teeth, and I swam in the cool water under the sunshine. I didn't get to do everything that I wanted to do- but God revealed so much more to me; how can I complain?

The way I lived this summer prompted an idea in my little head: create. I didn't finish a painting, I didn't write any stories, I didn't color, I didn't draw a single thing (at least not to completion). However, I harbored the vastness of what I was taking in and experiencing. Sometimes painful, but always new. I hope to use The Lost Summer (the title of a supposed sketch diary, ehemmm...) as a way to stay connected with those feelings, maybe share a little of what I went through, and give myself a reason to slow down.

I've been thinking about this song since I heard it in Hot Topic while waiting for my sister to finish up her shopping: NeverShoutNever- Sacrilegious.  I don't quite know what to think about it yet.  There are parts that I whole heartedly agree with, and parts that I just don't think make any sense.  Thought I'd throw it up here for consumption.
