This is the most wonderful thing I've seen all month! I need these guys to travel with me everywhere I go. I'd name them Larry, Darrell and Darrell.

Random Facts and Thoughts, Part 1
1. Sometimes I talk to myself. I'm sure most people do. But when I do it, I refer to myself as Walden. The reason behind this is that when my cousin Blake was a toddler he couldn't quite say Lauren. He called me various things througout his stages of learning to enunciate each letter's sound, some of which are unwritable in the English language. He called me Nordeen for a while, but he pronounced it in a way that made him sound like he was speaking in another language. Eventually it evolved into Walden. Now Blake is 13 and speaks correct English, but I still like to think of myself as Walden. (Perhaps some day, if you're lucky, we'll get into the Bobbotzki story.)
2. I think I'm a bit OCD. I have to do everything in multiples of three. Nine ice cubes in my drinks, three sugar packets in my tea, 12 seconds to get from point A to point B, etc. If it can't be done in a mulitple of three, its not worth doing.
3. I'm really, Really, REALLY ready to be engaged and then married. Will my time ever come??
4. My dad and his side of the family don't know that I'm living with my boyfriend. I have a slight suspicion that he might know but isn't telling me that he knows. Even if he does, I still have to go through the formality of telling him. I know I need to do it soon. I'm tired of feeling like I'm sneaking around even though I am a fully independent adult. I'm not sure how to tell him and I'm really nervous.
5. I went to church last weekend for the first time in three years. I have nothing against church, but I am having some family issues that make me really bitter towards the judgmental Christians of the world. I don't doubt my faith, I know what I believe, and feel I don't need to prove that to anyone, especially the people who are supposed to love me unconditionally. I have been having a lot of inner turmoil about religion, church and relationships. I am glad, though, that the God I love loves me and knows my heart in the deepest way possible.
