i went back to hawaii for 2005's winter break to visit my family. i stayed with my mother and sister, and it was pretty great even though i had to sneak off to be able to spend time with my dad. but they are all doing well. i am very lucky to be able to maintain a decent relationship with my parents, so who cares if i have to be kind of underhanded to do it! right? right.
i feel a lot more centered and responsible about the upcoming year. my initial resolution for the year - 'not to let people walk all over me' - seemed like an excuse to be shit nasty to other people when i was angry at them in retrospect. i've changed it to 'keep this feeling you have now all year,' because 2004 had a lot of irresponsibility and off-balanced-ness. that is my new resolution. (well, that and maybe to 'buff up!' beefcake!)
i deleted 2+years of livejournal entries last night because the majority of them were petulant and whiny and i don't really need any initiative to be either of those things anymore. i would have deleted more, but once i got midway through 2002 i started recieving 'journal markup can't delete contact livejournal!!!!' errors and i really can't be bothered to talk to lj staff about something so trivial even if their goat is super cute.
school starts this week on wednesday. i am looking forward to going even though i am really horrified about taking statistics this semester. i haven't taken a math class in two years and i wonder if i even remember how to add.
i am excited about arianna's visit (its for like a week this time, right?) because she is cool cool cool and there need to be more girls in this apartment more often to balance out the sheer amount of man (it is nice to have tanya around. Although she is more masculine than Jason part of the time. not that tanya is GRRR manly.... i don't know what my point is here. there are too many boys.)
all of this was written on my brand new computer which is sitting on my desk in my room. you have no idea how cool that is. i want to take pictures of it, that is how happy i am. it is also currently the most organized and neat space in the room which i personally am very proud of.
and the iBook just came in the mail. snap.
okay, and so here's the deal, find out how you end your life, the google way! i went to google, typed "(your name) was killed by" and see what the end of life holds in store for you. Try it out and remember to use the quotations marks, else it wont work.
Alex was killed by Tess while she was trying to mind warp him. (cool!)
