life is dancing on a kife's edge. it hurts like hell and it's incredibly beautiful at the same time, not to mention the necessity of delicate balance. --me
where do i get this shit from? it's not fully formed as a sentence, as an expression, but the image is there in my head and it makes perfect sense. it just popped up last night. oh yeah, and there's a certain acceptance that goes along with it- along the lines of you gotta accept the pain to enjoy the moment/beauty/balance of it all.

durham, north carolina. about 4 hours to my aunts' place in alexandria, virginia. we'll show up there around 3 or 4 this afternoon, have dinner with them, and maybe stay there or maybe go on to see jacob. regardless, we'll most likely see jacob tomorrow, assuming he ever calls us back. =P
from there... we do have an extra day to kill, so maybe we'll go a bit out of the way, to my parents' house, so i can pick up a few things and so that i can see them before my next-younger sister turns 18 and goes off to college. this is freaking me out probably beyond reason, especially because many of my friends are younger than she is, but... rockers are in their own category. on the other hand, so is my sister. she's whip-smart and beautiful and competent, but i still can't help having big-sister worries. and, of course, giving her all of the computer-related tips i can think of. not to mention motivational talks like the one that goes "being scared now is worth what's going to happen later" to which she laughed and said "i sure hope so". but ok, yeah, that was a bit off track.... right. so maybe we'll go to my house, maybe not, depends on what my parents think of the idea, etc.
this means: either we won't go to my house and we'll be back on thursday, or we will go to my house and we'll be back sometime on friday. in case anybody cares. =P
