Sugar Shack

The sugar shack is where I reside. Peter W. named it as such. One wall in our living room is smurf blue. Elephants litter the premesis like pop cans after a party and our chocolate brown couch cover always slides of our hang-me-down couch. Our dull green chairs flanking the couch serve as swivel entertainment when our friends come over. Our DVD collection is minimal, but that allows for more conversation at 3am when the hammock in the backyard beckons us.

Sugar Shack Cast of Characters:

Kristin McD.- the quazi owner of the shack. Her gentle spirit and fun loving randomness make her a dichotomy of sorts. Her dark curly hair has most recently been cut to chin length and her philosophy is stay as white as possible as long as possible. She's usually the awkward one in any given situation, but that's what makes her so spectacular.

Ani M.- The one who tells it straight. She has an eye for fashion and interior design, which accounts for our smurf colored wall and her mint green room. She drives her cherry red camry like the world is going to end, with her left foot on the dash and her seat reclined like a rice rocket driver. She's also addicted to italien gelatto.

Loretta- The other single girl in the house. She's tall and athletic, with a heart as big as the moon. She owns the Michael Jackson Number One CD, a feet I enjoy thoroughly as I've made it a habit to raid her CD collection for random music to have dance parties with.

The Peter- Ani's boyfriend. The AC in his old Jeep doesn't work, and sometimes he comes over and lays in weird positions on our living room floor. If his personality was any bigger it wouldn't fit his seemly smaller stature. I have yet to see 'angry peter', but has heard stories and do not look forward to the day he appears.

Dan Yama...- his dad is half Japanese and he has been persuing a relationship with Kristin for some time and has finally convinced her to go out with him. Their idea of a good date is dressing up in fun outfits and eating dinner at Peter Piper Pizza. We usually call Dan when we need our computers fixed or have problems with electronics because he is Japanese after all::wink::

Other random characters poke their heads in from time to time, all of which will be explained as the need arises. For now, I'm going to go have pancake breakfast with my roommates.

and then I had you

I'm at a lose for words. God you are so good to me and I know I don't deserve it. I pray that you would continue to give me true intimacy with you and with the people you have placed in my life.

All I ask is more of you and less of me...until I can longer see myself but only you in me. Help me to understand who you are and who you want me to become in you.

Please love me when no one else will, when no one else can, and when I don't think I need it.
