water

along the side of the 110 near sepulveda is a strange billboard. i thought it was a bottled water ad until i finally got a good look at it.

it's an ad for biola university, a christian college in orange county.

cam didn't see it this morning, so he looked for it on the way to pick me up this afternoon. "christian water bottle university," he dubbed the school.

i have, as i mentioned to cam in the car this morning, a dim view of biola, based solely on the one person i knew who went there. while we were in college, he sent me a letter because "god wanted him to." um. god thought you needed closure on your dealings with sinful me? ridiculous.

so this boy (formerly full of opie-ish charm and freckles... my lord, those freckles) wrote me a letter and it was a very nice, very bland letter about his new life. it didn't sound like him. the boy i had known had been full of vitality and sneaky humor. and then he went to college and he apparently became a new person. i'm sure he was very happy with his newness, but i kind of missed the oldness.
