I love...
listening to a CD I haven't heard in months/years without one song skipping
reading jack kerouac
knee high socks
watching teenagers interact with each other and feeling oddly distant from it - it was not so long ago...
cooking dinner with Sinatra
black nail polish
running out of a rec hall full of people I only 1/2 know to throw off my jacket, kick off my shoes and dance in the rain by myself
catchy pop punk guitar riffs, drum rolls, choruses, and bass lines
wearing my hair down when its huge and messy; pulling it back whenever I see my boyfriend just because he likes it
my clothes that have character (paint stains, holes, etc)
being able to pull off short dresses because I'm short
augustine of hippo
driving for hours with redbull, gas station cappuccinos, clove cigarettes and good company
minneapolis hip hop
being hit with the holy ghost
walking downtown cities i've never been before
going to restaurants by myself
libraries
my friends - they are the best any one could ever ask for
my book shelves stacked with philosophy, art, history, and my journals dating back to '94
the crunch of leaves underneath my feet
the feeling you get when you are coming in from the cold and you have a room full of people you love to make you warm
board games
fellowship
learning about life
the moments when I realize I have been wrong, confessed, and been forgiven
singing
learning how to swing dance on rooftops in the country in wisconsin
greyhounds that take you from Bangor, Maine to Boston, MA to New York City
converse all stars (thrift, though)
Substance church
black button up dress shirts from express
my bible
tooth and nail/solid state bands
music venues
community
talking on the phone for hours and hours with your best friend from a pay phone in canada
being asked to sing at your roomate from college's wedding - and seeing her!
jeeps and volvos - though most people hate one or the other
the view from Leeks Marina of the teton mountains, and jackson lake
watching buffalo roll around in the dirt
signs that are rediculous "no standing" "no honking" etc
bible commentaries
...i actually have to go now.
that was refreshing.

your title of this blog is the same theme of the book that I am currently reading titled 'Overflow', funny!
ps love your list, it gave me some very vivid pictures of who you are.
I love you more and more everyday!
My heart leapt when I read about Leeks...I do adore that place!
And I wish I would have known that you were running out of the Rec Hall to play in the rain because I sooo would have been there.
