I can survive without caffeine...so far

I am still awake, and doing well.

Just a random note that crossed my mind: it is the absolute funniest thing when people ask me if Tyler and I have kissed yet. (Really, it's none of their business...) When I tell them that we haven't and that the only way we'd kiss is if we married, jaws tend to drop. But then the respect comes into the eyes, and I know--like I didn't know already--that we're going about this the right way. No need to include anymore relational regrets in one short life.

Another random thought, one about Captivating. In it, the authors mention how Adam's strength is corrupted--cuz we're all broken--and either becomes passive or overly exerts his strength. As sick as this might be, I'm tired of passive men and would rather they be abusive than not there at all. My wish is to be able to encourage my brothers in Christ to become strong--NOT abusive--and to grow a backbone. They are the leaders, that is the role that they are meant to fill. My question is: how do I do that...?

Third random thought: I have the song "I am the Messenjah" from POD's Satellite album stuck in my head. The case is probably thus because I feel like I am the little messenger girl, the errand runner, the go-between, the go-fer... *shows buckteeth* Eh...it's almost the weekend. 45 more minutes before I get off work and get to go home.
