I am in borders. I like borders a lot. I like that it has a gloria jeans coffee shop. and wi-fi access (albeit 5000 bucks an hour). I like that you can read the books and not buy them and noone gets angry. I don't understand why the mills and boon romance novel stand is smack bang in the middle of the car magazine section.
No I did not search it out.
Awkward.
I just re read excerpts from Donald Miller's "Blue Like Jazz". Its so beautifully written. You should check it out. He's writing a screenplay about it. I look forward to seeing it. Maybe they will sell the DVD in Borders. I'd buy it.

#23 pretending
What is it inside of us all that feels the incessant urge to convince everyone around us that we're worth it? That we're actually really cool. That we actually have a lot to say. That we are the kind of person they should want to have as a friend.
I think its possible that we all feel the need to do this. We're all as insecure as eachother. We're all as desparate to be accepted as the next person.
What if we all just stopped pretending, and stopped trying to convince the world of our merit. What if we all just got over our insecurities and chose to walk in the contentment that we're all imperfect, that we all have awkward moments, and that we all look a bit ugly without our make up on.
I know I do.
