oh my gosh! i just got the biggest crush on the dude who appears on the Yahoo domains ads. i know the ad may not always show his beautiful smile but whoa! when he does smile,it is so cute!!:) yeah call me weird but there are some older guys out there who are just drop dead gorgeous. Sean Connery included! Dare to defy!!!
much love,

hey people.
i am back in the zone. it`s killin` me. hope everybody else is having a great time with whatever they are up to right now. be the best friend that anyone can have. thats the best thing you can do for yourself. this world is messed up sometimes but you know what it`s perfect. in every single way. it was meant to be the way it is. god loves you. did you know that? yeah he does. so no matter what you do to me, i can`t hate you cause then i`d be hating God. total no no for me. anyway. i got to depart. school is almost out.

hello fellow tiggers.

well these last few days have put me in the "zone" its that mood where u know u have staxs of work to do but you really can`t do it. i dunno, maybe it`s called being lazy?!?!? either way, i am still trying to get out of it. bummer.
it`s like 4 weeks till i take off from LAX and it`s getting hard. I am really going to miss this palce but hey, life goes on. I`m broke but I suppose that doesn`t matter.

i have nothing weird to say today so enjoy the normal update.
hope the rest of you are doing well!
much love

Today whilst in the car with my best friend Heather, i realised something. now don`t get me wrong because i`m sure someone thought of this a few 200 years ago. anyway the thought popped to mind: FROM THE PEOPLE YOU KNOW, HOW MANY OF THEM GENUINELY LIKE YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE? genuinely?
I have found,that there are very people who like me for me. A lot of those so called "friends" say one thing and mean another. I thinks thats being a hypocrite. Recently, i had another eye opener/paradigm shift. People who are close to you may not even appreciate you the way you think they do.
It all boils down to people being superficial about life and their emotions.
I know that for a fact, as an exchange student, I have made hundreds of "friends" but really when its down to the nitty gritty, few can say they actually can stand me.
I am a very annoying person to most people because I am loud and I scream a lot. Quite animated! And to top it all off, i`m not perfect. "oh darn!" i hear them say, "here`s that girl who thinks she`s funny! oh someone please save me!"
how many times have such thought run through my head? how many times have i put on a smile when really i couldn`t care less if this person were there or not.
my point is, there is no point.
people are cruel. and it hurts.
i have got to do something about it all. because i do it to others too. my karate teacher once told me "always be aware of your surroundings" she was right, and i was aware, but only of my physical ones. nothing mental. sad sad story. so many of us live in total oblivion about our own lives. and we think things are just fine and dandy. then when sorrow strikes we fall to the ground in pieces. how do we expect ot change the world if we can`t change ourselves? i have a long way to go.....how far along are you?
much love
