wow. long time no post. i think the initial euphoria of posting sort of died- oh well. life is good for the most part, other than the fact that i am sick, and tired, and was wet all day *i love rain, really, but there is a limit to my affection..*, and my english professor never recieved the midterm that was due last week. that doesn't really surprise me though- murphy's law is the master of entertainment, unless of course it involves your english midterm, a power outage, a cable outage, wire crossing, incompatible software, mixed up files, dead email....you get the point. looking back it was actually highly entertaining ;) i deserved it anyway- the week was just too good to not have the balance there. at least the trio is over (for those of you who are not aquainted with my family's old superstitions, and probably many other people's too... everything bad happens in threes. thus the english assignment from hell, the severe, mind-numbing cold, and the dousing rain. lol. gotta love it.) anyway, break was awesome- saw not only my grandparents and various other relations like cousins, aunts, uncles, step cousins, and whoosiwhatsits...but also my sister and niece who came all the way from cali to say hi! *happy dance* i never realised how much energy it takes to watch a two year old all the time.... if i never see blocks again i will be happy, although it was great fun and i miss them already. we went to all sorts of "coast" places, such as nubble light house, fort mccleary, ktp (ahhhh!), etc. i'm sad they had to go back, i really liked having them around. i even got to talk to my brother for a minute or so- the most i've talked to him since....um...dunno when. and of course i was thrilled to be home- i cried when i walked in the door. this of course was ridiculous because i love school and i missed people here, but i was just so relieved to be home. it's a totally different sphere.... i miss the coast when i am here. i mean, i didn't go to the beach for years, but i can still hear the water (river, not ocean) from home, and the seagulls (those loveable little flying rats...thanks robs~). one of the best parts about being home was that i saw some of my friends. *yay*!!!! i spent a day with jackie, which rocked since i haven't seen her in months. we went to the book store, and to see school of rock, which was cute. then amy and robs came over and we rented chicago. we also watched robin's embarassing home videos- i cannot believe she has videos of project graduation with the toilet racing....those scooter things were cool, but i never wanted it on film!! i also got to talk to liz- cory filled me in on what was happening with her for background. it amazes me that we haven't been out of school six months yet, and two of my friends have already been proposed to. it just seems so young... i honestly expected liz and dan to get married someday, but i didn't think he would ask so soon, and i never thought they would break up. i don't know what happened, but i hope it works out for her. jackie i am concerned about- she's like my sister, and i love her but i am worried about his guy she is seeing- he already proposed and she hasn't even known him five months. she really likes him, but it seems like he's pressuring her, and she knows she's not ready to get married- she said so herself. i just wish something would go right for her once in a while. she does really like him though, so maybe it will work out alright. i wish her the best. it was so cool to get to see everyone, i really missed them all. i still do, but you can never recapture the past, only move forward enjoying life from one moment to the next until the moments run out and all you have left are the memories that haunt you and you cherish forever. my grandma told me that once- a bit odd, but it works i suppose. it gets the point across well enough. ;) alright, well since i am exhausted and i skipped work to sleep, i suppose i should actualy go take a nap before dinner, or at least put up a pretense of doing work. goodbye!

also, there is a cute chick flick out now called under the tuscan sun- it's set in italy, so you know it has to be awesome~
