"And we do apologize when we're wrong. Fortunately, I am never wrong."

...I even think Al cosplayers are adorable. 8| And that Winry pwns. All three of them.
So. Today. Let's see, where to start? Next year, as some and/or all of you know, I'll be living on the Servant Leadership floor here at UD. Which means I'll be participating in various service projects with the people that I'll be sharing a building with. (Yes, it's called a floor, but it's actually a building. I don't know why.) We had sort of a pre-event today, with three different service projects that each of us could choose from. Me and future roommates Kathryn, Angie, and Rachel decided to go to the St. Vincent Hotel, which is a place that feeds and houses homeless people around here, to help them with their annual "bean luncheon" that they invite their funders to.
Frankly, I wasn't exactly looking forward to it. I'd been to a place similar to this for a service project in high school, and also quite frankly, the memory of that place still makes my stomach turn a little. I can't imagine living in a building like that one. It smelled like stuff I'd never dare to smoke. So I'm not sure what I was expecting this morning.
It's true, that doing service makes you feel better about yourself. I didn't do much at all in the grand scheme of things, just chopped some a ton of vegetables for a salad (I didn't know how to chop a green pepper before this morning 8|) and wrapped up sets of silverware in napkins and folded clean sheets, but I felt like I was finally using my time for something good, instead of using it for myself all the time. Although folding all those sheets made my arms hurt. It was a really nice place, too. It was a new building, really big, and clean.
And then, today is Rachel's birthday!! (Well, by now, I guess it's yesterday. XD) So me, her, Kathryn, and Angie went out for dinner at Milano's, which is a really good pizza/sub place near campus. I love their club subs, all warm and toasted and yummy. After that we went to Ben and Jerry's for dessert. More yum, chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream <3.
While we were at Ben and Jerry's, "This Kiss" by Faith Hill came on the radio. XDD I used to love that song, haven't heard it in years. I remember how the refrain says something about "centrifugal motion" and when I heard it, I would think, "There's no such thing as centrifugal force!! :|" I always liked the second verse, too. "Cinderella said to Snow White / How does love get so off course? / All I wanted was a white knight / With a good heart, soft touch, fast horse / Ride me off into the sunset / Baby, I'm forever yours." Aww. ;_;
My tastes in music have certainly evolved since then. Like, I don't like boybands anymore. >_> Although I may still put on a Backstreet Boys song every great once in a while. But no more NSync, plzthx.
