Silent Devil,

It is a rarity anymore. I hope things start to slow down for you at work. But if not, it's no big deal. I'm not on that much either anymore because I got convicted about slacking off at work and doing things that I shouldn't be doing. So I only blog when I remember to do so at home, which is rare.

I am so very, very intensely pleased that you had a good birthday. I was secretly hoping you would come to Ox, but it's completely okay that you did not. It sounds like you had a great day and a great balance of activities. We shall celebrate another time when we are together. Especially because I still have your gift.

You could try to hurt me. You wouldn't be able to find me.

I am currently obsessed with Jars of Clay's "Oh My God." It's an amaaaaazing song. So much honesty in there. Convicting. Beautiful. I like it so much and cannot stop listening to it.

Oxford was fun. I quite enjoyed it. As always, it was a little hard because eeeeeeeeeeveryone just wants a piece of me, Rachel!!! I mean, I can't blame them. I'm kind of awesome. #humble!! Oh, I'm going to start #tagging everything. Because like I said... #awesome. But anyway, I got to do almost everything on my wish list. And it was great to just chill with people and hang out. I miss that so very much when I'm not there. Apparently I missed all the good Jesus discussions which is #LAME but I had great talks with people and I loved it. I also took a lot of naps in your honor.

I had great quiet time today. Great, I tell you!!!!!

I made a to-do list on my hand. I am almost completely done with it, which makes me feel very efficient. However, I don't think this pen will come off for days.

I stayed up until 3am watching Justin Bieber videos the other day. #bieberfever

As I texted you, I found myself making strange noises out loud in Starbucks earlier. I realized what I was doing after a few seconds and tried to cover it up, but it did no good. I was going, in a high-pitched voice, "PEEBLE PEEBLE PEEBLE!" and then lowered my voice and tried to make it into a reprimanding "peeeooooople, people, people." I don't know if anyone saw. I had my head lowered in shame.

I'm hungry but I don't feel like eating.

I will listen to your new song tonight! Hurrah! I hope you don't mumble, fellow mumbler!!

Most certainly,

Me

P.S. Tell Mama G thanks sooo much for the card and "gift". Same to you ;)
