today was two days, pre-nap and post-nap. i'm tired of thinking/talking about pre-nap sooo.... post-nap all was fantastic... woke up around 2, went to the mall and shopped and shopped, found my lost new sunglasses, got khakis and cords and jeans and new colored longsleeve shirts that are about to become my life...
AND I FOUND MY LONGSLEEVE GREY USNA SHIRT THAT HAS BEEN MISSING FOR OVER A YEAR. this is, no joke, my favorite article of clothing of my ENTIRE life, except for maybe my minnie mouse polka dot sundress i had when i was four, but this shirt, oh my life, oh my soul, i used to sit at college and think, if only i had that shirt, my favorite shirt... and now i have it! and we'll never be parted again! i am so happy!
AND! maggie my former roommate was passing through cleveland today on her way to baltimore so we got to go out to dinner! i picked her up at our pre-school teacher's house (no joke, she still lives in shaker and maggie's parents are still friends with her. and she RECOGNIZED me, she said my face hadn't changed and she'd know my eyes anywhere, and wasn't i friends with that hyperactive blonde kid brendan, ha), drove her jettastyle around shaker, my house, hb, to coventry, ate at tommy's and got balloons from the totallyridiculous flower clown, i got a giant monkey so we took pictures of it driving the jetta and those should be my facebook picture circa a few weeks from now.
tomorrow/today is bailey's birthday and i wish i'd thought to get her a dolphin balloon animal but i didn't. that would've been fun.

having way too much fun currently... sometimes just sitting and talking to people can be so enjoyable. dave just tried to tell me that the "dali lama" is 20 years old........... iididdiiotttttt. and that he'd like to go to tibet. and that when he goes to europe he wants to attach his prayer flags to his backpack. POSERCOUGHCOUGH. in fact, you just read. it's been too long since we've had some dave to poke fun at.
daveathopkins (1:27:17 AM): i was looking for tibetan prayer flags
daveathopkins (1:27:29 AM): i bought 5 last night, but not the 2 that i want because i can't find them
Moey702 (1:27:36 AM): and?
daveathopkins (1:27:56 AM):
http://www.prayerflags.com/Moey702 (1:28:19 AM): uh huh
daveathopkins (1:28:43 AM): they have what i want, but i don't want to spend the money
daveathopkins (1:28:46 AM): im conflicted
daveathopkins (1:29:06 AM): before i go to europe, i want the victorious banner to tie to my pack
daveathopkins (1:29:15 AM): that or the vast luck flag
Moey702 (1:29:28 AM): victorious banner?
daveathopkins (1:29:57 AM):
http://www.prayerflags.com/display.asp?catid=2&id=4Moey702 (1:30:22 AM): haha you will look like such a poser with that hanging off your backpack
daveathopkins (1:30:31 AM): piss off
Moey702 (1:30:38 AM): just tellin ya
daveathopkins (1:31:22 AM): there's a poser, then there's someone who actually does the things that are associated with the tibetan prayer flags. i just haven't been to tibet to do any climbing
Moey702 (1:32:45 AM): you're buddhist?
daveathopkins (1:33:39 AM): ive used some of their ideas in building my conception of "faith"
daveathopkins (1:34:54 AM): and on second thought, the idea of being a poser is subjective. unless you create everything that surrounds you, you are posing as what has been dictated by others. you just choose which things to pose as. so either way, everyone is a poser.
Moey702 (1:36:56 AM): that didn't make sense
daveathopkins (1:37:09 AM): why not?
Moey702 (1:37:19 AM): because it just didn't
daveathopkins (1:37:46 AM): i don't care to argue it
daveathopkins (1:37:57 AM): its really not worth it to me
Moey702 (1:38:32 AM): k
daveathopkins (1:40:34 AM): apparently, you can have the lama answer your questions and give you a diviniation by email
Moey702 (1:40:45 AM): that's fantastic
daveathopkins (1:43:47 AM): damn, he was in bmore on may 23
Moey702 (1:44:00 AM): he's coming to dc
Moey702 (1:44:02 AM): soon
daveathopkins (1:44:51 AM): ?
Moey702 (1:45:00 AM): i think
daveathopkins (1:45:10 AM): may 27-31, 2005
Moey702 (1:45:36 AM): huh
Moey702 (1:45:38 AM): someone lied to me
daveathopkins (1:46:16 AM): i don't think this is the dali lama
daveathopkins (1:46:24 AM): maybe he is coming?
Moey702 (1:46:33 AM): yes, tis he
Moey702 (1:46:44 AM): dalai lama
daveathopkins (1:48:43 AM):
http://www.kagyuoffice.org/Moey702 (1:48:50 AM): too lazy to click
daveathopkins (1:50:03 AM): i would love to go to tibet someday
Moey702 (1:50:46 AM): perhaps you should
daveathopkins (1:52:59 AM): its very odd to see a picture of His Holiness using a laptop. it seems to be almost anachronistic
daveathopkins (1:53:04 AM): i wonder how old he is
daveathopkins (1:53:20 AM): no shit, hes 20
Moey702 (1:53:44 AM): what are you talking about?
daveathopkins (1:53:51 AM): the dalai lama
daveathopkins (1:54:13 AM): i started reading his website
Moey702 (1:54:19 AM): the dalai lama's not 20
daveathopkins (1:55:17 AM): guess im reading the wrong website
Moey702 (1:55:36 AM): there are many many lamas in buddhism. only one dalai lama
daveathopkins (1:56:05 AM): the kid i was looking at is called the Karmapa
Moey702 (1:56:29 AM):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KarmapaMoey702 (1:56:32 AM): do research
daveathopkins is away at 2:26:15 AM.
k that was fun.
i told justin all about my medical issues. i dunno why i told him, he and i seem like we could be good coffee buddies. we banter quite effectively, and he knows enough to tell me when i'm being an idiot, which is fun because i fully confess to him when i AM being an idiot, and then he admonishes me. but he was nice, and offered me a place to stay on saturday when i'm in town, and said he wouldn't hug me after my surgery, or that since i'm short he'll just hug my head. or something.
ed taught me about chinese characters... ea went to phi psi... damn i'm too spacey right now. talking to too many.
Moogie317 (2:13:28 AM): you are so wise
Moogie317 (2:14:02 AM): maybe for halloween, ill just wear your clothes and ill be a wise person!
AEve6S (12:32:45 AM): oh snap
AEve6S (12:33:18 AM): quote sharon:
AEve6S (12:33:24 AM): we miss maura
yayyy!! and APPARENTLY our passkeys get us anywhere in mccoy, and anywhere in hopkins from 4pm-12am!!! used to be that you could only get into your specific house, or specific hallway, but now it's much more open and we'll be able to visit each other freely. goodgoodgood :) in addition to teaching me this, ed and i discussed chinese calligraphy.
