I am a lazy ass...
I am supposed to be working on my Sociology final and I cannot concentrate! Trissa just called me to tell me that someone that we know is marrying his ex-girlfriend. In addition to that...I am completely jacked that I get to see Annie Lamotte tommorow.ANNIE LAMOTTE!!! My favorite author of all time!!!! I am so freaking jacked!
Is it wrong to pray for good seats and autographs from your favorite author? Maybe a picture with her too...oh my gosh...I just love her to death. If I get to meet her I am going to wet myself...
I love her because I feel like her voice is a cool cup of water to the parched dry land that our culture's soul have become. We are into instant gratification, drive-thru serve, and individualism. Annie encourages people to stop and look at the world around you, roll up your sleeves, and get your ass to work.
Annie has encouraged me to discover a path in which I can tell my story. The only true story we can tell is our own, if we try to tells another, we will never be able to capture the full essence of it. She is the reason that I started to write the singleness book...that and I needed to have a place to spew my thoughts on being a singleton in the church.
So I suppose the book is a product of Annie's ability to be raw, Sex and the City's hyper-reality state of the dating world, Bridget Jones laughable naivete, and to spite all of the years of being brainwashed by Joshua Harris', completely uncontextual use of Scripture, "I kissed dating goodbye." I need to write a chapter about all of those FAWKED up books that I was encouraged to read. The sad thing is that hundreds of people's ideas of God's best, is completely compartmentalized into what Harris thinks is best. I will give him that they are nice thoughts...they are just not real for the average girl.
Perhaps the average home-schooled girl that is not going to know about sex until her senior year.
