Quick notes late at night

It's getting kind of late, I'm on a borrowed computer and I'm still reeling from Dark Knight goodness (sriusly, Christopher Nolan is a genius).  And the trailers!  Watchmen???

But being back in Louisiana just reminds me how sweet it is to share a past with someone.  As much as I love my friends in Nashville, there's just something so reassuring about being around people I've known for years.  Friends who have been beside me through all of the different incarnations of myself.  
I guess I feel like I'm stuck in a bit of a rut now, just going through the paces.  And it's good to have a reminder that I/we do keep changing and that it's often for the better.  That I'm going to constantly learn and experience more (whether I like it or not).  The things I'm afraid of now won't be the things I fear next year.  Mistakes will be made, lessons will be learned and life will continue on as it always has.  
So maybe at 24 I shouldn't start collecting cats, or settling down, or nesting.  Maybe I should stop believing in certain inevitabilities.  Just trust that God knows my future plans will be for a future Sarah.  One whose wiser and braver and kinder and smarter.  

An afterthought:  This sure got kind of Oprah-y at the end.  I guess I am deepest in the late hours of the night.  And I thought this blog post would be about seamlessly incorporating Harry Potter jargon into everyday conversations!  Guess I'll have to save that gem for another day.  Night!  Quidditch!
