today was a bleh day. i was tired and depressed. it's too cold here.

but i'm so thankful for people like kim stamp. i was planning on calling sarah tonight but i haven't talked to kim since august and today i was just really needing to speak with her. kim used to live in omaha, now lives in olympia, washington, with her husband and kids. she was the first person that showed me how beautiful honesty is. not that i didn't value it before i met her, but after some amazing conversations she and i had during the summer of 2001, i was just so refreshed to have met someone that would ask the tough questions. someone that i could say "this is what i see in myself that i don't like and this is what i am ashamed of" to and not be reprimanded or judged, but just be encouraged to change. someone who knows when i'm lying. we discussed what happened with rock star tonight and she asked me the hard questions. and it was good. i needed that. maybe tomorrow sarah? :)
