Diane’s World

…many enter, few come out the same

“The more I get of you, the stranger it feels”

The song of the week is Seal – Kiss from A Rose… the reason for this is because I just got back from NC/DC (A singing competition between Dordt and Northwestern.)

Let’s just say Northwestern’s “The Boys” butchered this song greatly.

I never heard such a passion-filled song sang as though it was as boring of a song as “Row Row Row your boat”.

I don’t usually like popular love songs (mainly because of corny lyrics), but Seal’s Lyrics are different.

However, I was pleasantly surprised with some of the groups – and basically, it think it’s really just a competition between Northwestern’s “Dawson’s Creek and a Barrel of Mincemeat”‘s ability to entertain:

and Northwestern’s “The Four-One-One”‘s amazing voices.

Yes, even a Dordt student is admitting that something is seriously screwed up this year if Northwestern doesn’t win.

Ok sorry to you non-Dordt people about talking about stuff you don’t care about… but if you want to see what I am talking about, CLICK HERE and you can see some short video clips of NC/DC.

Ok.. enough of the boring stuff.

I’ve had a few interesting times this weekend.

Including…

well, I dyed my hair. Blonder. They way my mom likes it. It’s not too different… I think?:

well it went from this:

to this:

And I hang out with Cool people.

Jerry forced me… er… I mean I was a good friend and went bowling with Jeremiah. Because I’m nice.

But I don’t bowl, so I really just got to watch Jerry bowl.

and of course, my favorite kind of picture… of the Diane and Jerry variety!!!

Except I’m really bad at aiming the camera while laughing at the same time.

And there has been some funny cookie-baking in our apartment recently:

Making sure that the cookies are TWO INCHES apart from each other…

apparently he doesn’t know what two inches looks like…

… and…

Being vegetarian is still going good. I do miss beef a little… but not enough for it to bug me.

I have found some wonderful vegetables – my current favorite being acorn squash.

Yummmy yummy yummm yummm yummm.

MMM.

I actually can see myself being mostly vegetarian for the rest of my life…

which I’m gonna have to look into.

Ok… am I boring yet?

Well before, let me suggest a Premium Movie:

Sigh… If my sibling who has my name for Christmas gift exchanges still needs suggestions after my already humongous wish list, you can add this one to the list.

Ok…

I’ll post again in a few days. Perhaps I’ll be more interesting then.

Later,

D to the I-A-N-EEEEE!

    The acorn squash looks great!! Only a little too much butter for my taste. Your hair color looks great. Love you, MOM

    Love the song… I remember, Seal never has lyrics printed with its music. I remember him saying that it adds to the music to let people hear it as they hear it. I’ve always enjoyed it.
