• christmas eve. those two words alone retrieve countless memories of years past...MANY years past, it seems. i know you'll laugh, i have to keep reminding myself that i'm only twenty as i attend the bfa christmas concert and feel ANCIENT, or as i visit blauen, remembering so many things, only to realize that those memories date back over five years. five years. does that seem long to you? it seems to have passed in an instant, in the blink of an eye. but then, sometimes, it seems an eternity. sometimes, like last night when i was wrapping a few gifts, i just let my mind go. i think and remember and my mind flashes from memory to memory to memory, and it's really...amazing. so much! i've experienced so much! and we all have, when you think of each moment as its own experience. some of them just stick out more than others.

  
  

  okay, switching gears. i'm pretty sure i could fill a book with quotes from my family. of course, any of the sonne guys who lived here my parents' first year will know that my dad's are above and beyond the ridiculous. remember all of those dorm shirt ideas? he had a new "Top 10" (top 10 inane? top 10 torturous?) every night. Anyway...a few from our trip to Freiburg yesterday. you can probably guess who said them:

  
  

  "If the rooster don't crow, ain't no one gettin' up!"

  
  

  "If you can't sing sweet, don't sing sour."

  
  

  merry christmas, world. "merry christmas, darling." don't you love that song? if you don't know that song, then go, NOW, buy a carpenters christmas cd, and bask in the rich glory of karen's vocals.
