It's raining outside and it is cold. I am sitting in my living room, in the empty house, thinking about being at home and Christmastime. Not seriously though, just in passing.
Things have been okay this past week. My mind is occupied on crushes on boys and the future and going home for thanksgiving; mostly though, on how good God is, and how happy I am about that.
My lovely (lovely is a proper descriptor, they have different forms of British accents, lovely is a proper British word) small group leaders, Wes and Carol Hall blessed me this week with a coat! A coat! Which is the greatest because it is so cold.
It's not super flattering, but it is very warm and not hideous.
It was the greatest.
Um. I lost my train of thought.
I got a coat.

"You can't see the truth in a house of lies"
Sometimes really great lines come from people who amidst their personal lives you wouldn't necessarily excpect profound things...Like Ryan Adams.
Today has been the worst day since I've moved here, and nothing truly traumatic happened. It was really just all a lot of little things (and a big whopping migraine,) that made me really in a terrible mood. And, truth be told, I have really no one to tell it to. So I won't bother telling you.
(though, in the heat of the moment, I did write this on tumblr, feel free to feel my pain.)
Mostly all I have to say is, as of RIGHT now, Christmas (or Thanksgiving if I am very very lucky,) cannot come fast enough. And that sucks because September is taking it's sweet time finishing up.
Really, I just want someone to talk to. That's about it.
I'm kind of done with this entry, there isn't much to report. I've already buried my face in my sorrows, now I'm sitting on my deck and looking into the distance, listening to crickets and looking at the seafoam green house I can see out my window.

It's weird to be somewhere where almost no knew me as a blonde...
I'm sorry that I've been not-so-consistant. I always, ALWAYS, mean well with blogs, but I almost never keep up with them.
With the exception of a xanga that I wrote in almost everyday for around three and a half YEARS.
Since then I've not been good with it. Things like facebook, twitter, tumblr, all these things are more fun than myspace was back in the day when I updated xanga all the time, so I naturally had no other internet distractions at that time. Email, myspace, and xanga. And xanga was the most interesting.
Oh how things change so quickly. It's kind of weird, you know?
Other than being sick all last week I haven't been up to much. I was out of commisson for a good 4.5 days, so there wasn't much I could've been doing! I slept so much! Although, I think it's messed me up a little bit because now I'm having a hard time sleeping at night, just from 6am-1pm. Gross. I hate it.
I'm trying to get over it. Trying, failing, whatever.
Let's see, what've I been up to since I've last updated...Well, sick, mostly.
But, on Friday Jane I did go down to the crossroads and go to first fridays; it wasn't as organized as we meant it to be, but oh well. Then we ate at winsteads and it was SO LOUD in there. Like an entire high school had invaded it. One of the waitresses had to yell at the whole restaurant! I've never seen anything like that before! I felt like I was eating lunch in the commons again. Eventually we just went back to her apartment and chatted for a while. It wasn't a bad night.
Saturday was boring. Jane was out of town. I slept on and off all day. Talked to Renae (my roommate) for a good while, which was really nice, and then we out driving and got lost in the ghetto at night.
Good right? Yes. It was super great.
Sunday was uneventful. I went to church, I laid around. Drank coffee at Jane's.
Yesterday wasn't too bad, labor day. I went to TWO SUPER TARGETS IN ONE DAY! (wow!) and that was pretty great... I looked at CDs at best buy, and this creeper kept looking over my shoulder...I quit looking after that and went home. Talked to my grandma on the phone for about forty five minutes, which was nice.
Then I went and saw Max Justus, a local--and quite well known, apparently, he played at Cornerstone last year--DJ who Jane knows. I've never been to see a DJ, so I had no clue what to expect. And it was exactly what I expected. Oddly enough. I was really worried that I wouldn't know what to do, like stand, sit, dance, whatever, but it was okay because we just sat and watched everything that went on.
The dancing was hil-arious. Hipsters dancing, oh man, I enjoyed it ever soo much. And I liked the music a lot too. It helped that I've been listening to a lot of electronica music lately (due to my slight Erlend Oye obsesion,) so I was definitely in the mindset. Also, he's really good. Also, he's really attractive. So, either way I liked it (haha)
Although- he has a mullet. It didn't bother me at all.
But yeah, it was fun. And this guy that Jane has a crush on somewhat paid attention to her so she was all happy and stuff.
We were good, it was fun.
That was labor day. Targets, Prayer Room, And DJs.
Then I couldn't sleep, went to the prayer room. AT FIVE IN THE MORNING WHEN I HADN'T YET BEEN TO BED. So I came home and slept all afternoon, then went to broadway for coffee with Jane and then we sat at the Foundary for a while. Which after our DJing night, was pretty lame, and we're totally expecting tons of hipsters and fun times. Instead we got old people and french fries.
My sleeping patterns are all off wack.
Anyhow, now it's Jane's, Brenna's and Fred's birthdays; turning 22 and 21 respectively, HAPPY BIRD-DAY to them.
I'm watching Glee on my computer.
See you all soon.

Copeland, making me feel like missing home.
Hello all, internet, friends, countrymen, fellow apostles, brothers, sisters, starbucks partners.... ect.
School has started for pretty much everyone that I know now, and I hope that it is all going very well. I'm thinking and praying for everyone to have super productive semesters. Lord knows, I need that in my life. School is so different; it's so good, and it's so weird. I spend more time not in class, and in the prayer room--for a grade. This is weird, because I have a super short attention span. I mean, really God is wonderful, He really is, but I get so distracted. Do you know all that's going on in the GPR (global prayer room--here at IHOP-KC, we are all about initials.)?? Soooo much. Like, there is all these cameras that are taping for GodTV, there are people pacing, there are more asian people than I've ever seen (and I've been to China Town NY) there are worship teams, there's Lou Engle, and Allen Hood and all these other people I've seen my mom watching on TV. There are cute boys. There are little kids. There are so many interestin people. There are so many people doing stuff, and I just wanna look at it.
This is what I get to do for school--sheesh! It' really weird.
(so, sidenote: my keyboard is sticking like you would not believe, and if there's a letter missing from a word, I apologize. I'm trying to pound the stickiness out of the keys, but I can only type so hard. It kind of hurts. But, I digress. What I mean to say is, sorry if I miss letters sometimes.)
Anyway though, school is so different because it's more Church than school, though it's way more school than church. Okay, okay, it's only been one and half whole weeks. I don't really know what I'm talking about. Bear with me.
How is school for everyone going though? I really wanna know, I wanna be all up to date with you all.
And if you aren't in school, how's the end of the summer? How's jobs? Life? Good? I hope so.
But other than school, I've been doing plenty of things; KC is such a cool city. I have been around more hipsters than I was when I was at Cornerstone, or Clifton or anything. It's really weird. They're all so pretty...
I've eaten such good food. I've been in cooler places, with awesome people, it's been really great.
I live in a house with 4 other girls, and they are all blessings to have and know. We also have a dog (well, my roommate, technically, has a dog. But we all love her.) her name is Hayley and she is the prettiest golden retriever ever (well, minus my good ol' Lady [RIP]) and if you know me, you know I'm eating that up with a spoon. Seriously she is the coolest. She's like a dog on TV, you know the pretty healthy goldens who just want to be petted and play ball; if you throw a frisbee in the air she can run and catch it before it hits the ground. Lady didn't move unless there was food involved, and sometimes not even then; Winston doesn't know how to sit on command--you can imagine my joy.
Other than the dog, I'm also getting along with my roommates, as I said, they're all pretty great. Janae and Tori are sisters, they have the lease on the house, they're from California; they are the sweetest girls ever, and so funny. Janae is genuinely one of the sweetest people I've ever met, and is so interested in people. It's wonderful. Tori is hilarious! She has the greatest giggle I've ever heard. Renae has the room right next to mine, she is from Kansas (about three hours west of here,) and she works as a day care. She is funny and great to be around--tomorrow we are going a-job hunting together--and she is so grounded and on track with the Lord. She's great to be around and get to learn from. Also, she's just super fun. Then lastly (and maybe not much longer :( :( which I'll miss her a lot!) is Jordan. Jordan has been pretty much everywhere, and done like everything. She lived in Florida, she went to Asbury for awhile (so she lived in KY!) and then went to Simmons College in Boston (and took classes at Harvard! Holy crap! Who does that?! Rivers Cuomo, Natalie Portman...Rory Gilmore... Seriously.) She is the coolest though, and I'm so happy to know her. She's pretty much the funniest person ever. And I feel super cool that she likes me.
I live in a pretty great house.
Grandview (the suburb of KC that I --unfortunately, technically--live in) is totally creepy. Totally.
There is an entire abandoned shopping mall, along with all the other shopping on the road. It would be if Mall road, and Houston were completely deserted. (If you are from Florence, or NKY, would that be relevant, but yeah)
Super creepy, right? Yes.
And you kinda feel like you're going to be attacked or somehing. Thank God that IHOP-KC is based here, other wise it would stupid to live here.
Um, I can't think of anything else to talk about right now (it's so late.)
Starting tomorrow I think it'll be more day to day, less general, entries.
But I kinda just wanted to talk a little about vague stuff.
I hope everyone is sleeping right now. And getting plenty of rest (it's almost 4 in the morning! eek, here, which means it's almost 5 for most of you, in eastern time!) and have great weekends.
talk more tomorrow, I'll be more organized.
love love love, hannah

Apparently I know nothing about the midwest.
Welcome to my "new blog". New URL, whatev.
I'm living in a new place. I'm starting a new "school". I'm learning about myself, about my God, about my life; about shaing with people, about reaching out, and about literally doing nothing but praying. It's really crazy.
I wanted to start this new blog to keep you all up to date. I want to be more consistant, because really the people who read my blog (maybe, with the exception of Janey-waney,) don't see me, and don't talk to me on an everyday basis. I want to keep everyone "in the know" (because I am so fascinating--you know it--don't lie to yourself.)
Also, don't expect me to only talk abot IHOP, ect, because really--I won't. I'll talk about food, and boys, and my roommates, and most likely about what I'm reading, listenng to, and my new best friend: Hayley (hayley is the golden retriever who is laying on me as I write this.)
Be prepared to read something at least a little interesting; just because I moved to a serious place doesn't mean I've given up my oh-so-famous rambling (pointless) storytelling.
There you go, a little into.
Check back, follow me, RSS feed me, bookmark, whatever you wanna do.
I wanna keep in touch, and I want you all to know what I'm up to and what wonderful things GOD is going to be dong in myl life (wow, seriously, WOW) and more importantly that I love and miss you all and I'm praying for you. And I'm required to be a prayer room, worshipping and in serious prayer at least 25 hours... a week. So you know, I've got time to be praying for you.
Be blessed, and hope we all talk soon!
love, Hannah
