Well well well...Here we are. Almost 10 and I'm almost asleep. So so tired.
I packed this morning. Like seriously. I -packed- this morning. I did it all. Essentially. I have to put the stuff on my futon in a suitcase, but that's it. And since I'm not leaving for ... let's see -- thursday, friday, saturday -- three days, it seems kind of pointless to do it now. I UPSed stuff today. Well, my mom did. She helped me pack the boxes & then she mailed them while I went to work. The joys of home life.
Soon to be dorm life.... Apparently it was like 100* there last weekend or something. Whew! Glad I missed that. On the other hand, the weather isn't so spectacular here... But why am I always complaining? Life is good.
Other than that I want my room! I am so incredibly psyched for a single. One good thing about getting excited really easily is that I'm excited really easily. Not that I'm saying that's a trivial thing, this is on a different note. Anyhow!
Let's see...are there other things? I'm just kickin it I'm counting the days.
I started watching Nightmare before Christmas today and we also rented Hook which used to be my favorite movie.
I finished reading Mere Christianity yesterday and I don't know what I think about it. How about a small list of thoughts in no particular order:
-At first I really really enjoyed his train of thought.
-An argument that is based so thourougly on analogies I find hard to believe will stand up on its own, especially because they're so easy to make falsely.
-Any argument that proves that one religion is right and all the others isn't is subject to large & healthy debate.
-He's a funny man this Lewis. "There are lots of nice things you can do with sand" is one of my favorite quotes. I thought that rocked.
-A lot of his reasoning seemed wrong. He said that because humans have an ethical code that all people in all ages seem to essentially agree on -- eg not going around just stealing & slaughtering -- that there must be something that has endowed this within us. Or there is mental evolution. Do you think a civilization that didn't have something like that could last long? Also, the evidence that animals do this as well kind of makes it seem odd to claim that it is evidence of a God. That I think is the largest and most prominent flaw in his logic to me. Because he is careful to be logical in that first book, but that step assumes things that I can't agree with him are true.
Well, I'm sure this is nothing new being said, but it's the first time I've said it, so there.
Lilun is sick and if she gets me sick I"ll kill her. Simple as that.
I'm going to BED. Goodnight, moon.
So I'm just kickin it I'm counting the days
I hardly can wait for us to hang out
I'm really missing you in so many ways
I anticipate us making out

Who broke your jaw?
As the saying goes.
Well, life is going along swimmingly, you might say. Kinda. Ummm...my birthday was fun as always. I even saw a friend this year! :-D
I'm soo excited for school! For classes, high holy days! I just got some awesome birthday presents from Stanford friends, which I'm actually sooo impressed because boys usually have a harder time with presents. Holla...
Sister's applying to colleges & I feel bad for her. That process SUCKS!
I wish I had something interesting to say...unfortunately...
I could recount the 15 nightmares I have every night!! Or...I could talk about my incident with painting the doorframe today! But I won't.
No. No, I won't.
I'm booooored..
I'm kinda faded but I feel all right
Thinking about making my move tonight

Annnnnnd it's the weekend.
And my birthday is officially "tomorrow."
Although it won't show up as such on this blog because I keep my computer & blog set on Pacific time. But really, here, tomorrow is my birthday. The time zone in which I was born. Awwwwww.
So what has happened since I returned from my trip? Nothing really. I watched Gentlement Prefer Blondes and Pretty Woman, the latter of which i loved. I've been sleeping late and sleeping a lot. I've been getting ready to celebrate another year of age ... closer to 21, closer to graduating, getting degree(s?), getting married, having kids ... oddly enough, further from dying than winter quarter.
I went to my first memorial service on Sunday. It was really really sad and I cried a lot. It's terrible. I always feel bad when I cry about people I wasn't even that close to who die -- I mean, how do I have a right to feel terrible? Think about the family... but is it even human for me to not cry? So much of the time I just thought about how glad I was of the families that wasn't.
I cannot think of a logical reason that school would have to start sooooo late. I should have done SoCo because then I would already be back. Too bad none of the classes looked interesting. I would have thought they would be.
I really have the feeling I should have something to say. I am so looking forward to getting back to school. Things I'm looking forward to the most:
-Hungarian
-Psych
-SINGLE!!!!!!!
-People :-D
-Boyfriend
-Weather
-Parties @ Casa Italiana (those always seem to be the best ... Debate team whaaaat)
-living by myself
-donating blood
-high holy days!
Anyway! That's really all. I've taken up enough space with nothings already.
Vishal is in looooooooove.
I'm kinda faded but I feel alright
