first post of the year
i did not want 2007 to come. no offense to anyone who has personal ties to 07, but 06 was OUR year (gesturing to the class of 2006). 2006 is my favorite year i can remember. so much happened! 2006 changed my life! 2007 is good so far i guess. it began exactly the way i wanted it to: at home, with josh and my family and my extended family, eating lumpia and soup and lasagna and playing games with joshua and trina. and at midnight, jumping up and down (to grow taller) and kissing josh (for everlasting love).
yesterday was lucky's and my one year anniversary together. we had ourselves a nice little evening together. i feel guilty sometimes because still, 15 months later, my impulse is to call him waldo. i know that happened a few times with waldo, accidentally calling him nappy, but i just feel so bad with lucky because it makes me think we haven't had enough bonding time. waldo and i bonded so much during the time we had together. i was so busy the last semester of senior year, we didn't have enough hang out time. and now i'm busy all the time with work and taking care of hershey.
hershey is doing better. there was a big scare the other week, but he was able to bounce back. i like taking care of him. its good practice for taking care of a baby--for a couple weeks i was sleeping next to him and waking up throughout the night to feed him and take him outside. its been over a month now and the vet said he only had a few days. i don't want to get too cocky now though or else the rug is going to get pulled up from underneath me or however the expression goes.
i hate being associated with such close-minded, unaccepting, hurtful people who love to condemn. sometimes i think i'm called to change it. i'm called to be more vocal about it and break away from .. the church. its just not right when big important people in my religious organization are being so vocal and so wrong about things. i'm pretty sure there's nothing in the bible about 1. not letting gay couples adopt catholic children and 2. allowing bishops to abuse their power to hold protests against supreme court decisions.
its been a rough week.
this monday marks 3 years for josh and me. THREE YEARS. that's 36 months. 156 weeks. 156x7 DAYS. its a big deal because 3 is a great number. and josh is a great guy. and together we're a great couple. and if our story was written, it would be a great book. and if that book got adapted into a movie, it would be a great movie. and if that movie got adapted for the stage, it would be an okay play or musical.
and on the subject of being timeless: trina, my now three year old cousin, loves the little mermaid. and all of the princesses. its funny how those movies, those stories, get passed on and on and are loved by each generation. but yknow what's whack? mulan and pocahontas are not included in any of the disney princess merchandise. mulan is arguably a princess in my opinion. but pocahontas?? she actually was a princess or princess equivalent! she was the daughter of the cheif of her tribe for crying out loud! i mean, ariel gave up her rights to royalty if you ask me the day she turned in her fins for feet. completely abandoning her entire family and running away with the first cute boy she sees. and don't get me started on jasmine! another runaway! she didn't even want to be a princess anymore!!! (her exact words!)
any girl that's got a good head on her shoulders is going to pick belle or mulan as their favorite. end of discussion.
ps. work is good.
