I need a break from the Internet...

So I'm taking one this weekend, and hopefully it will last past the weekend.

I've been online almost every day all semester. I was getting really good at staying off the Internet when I didn't need it last semester. Then that whole thing just didn't stick. So yeah, this weekend, no Facebook, no AIM. Though, I'm probably gonna panic about my Gmail inbox -__- 'cause that tends to fill up fast after just two days. I dunno how I'm gonna handle more than two days worth of emails. Google Reader is gonna be full of stuff too T-T ... Ok, maybe this wasn't such a good idea haha.

But no, I'm gonna try and see if I can live without the Interwebz for a few days.

What am I going to do instead? I don't know.
+Listen to music? I should go through some of my old CDs that I haven't ripped.
+Read? Ooh, I need to go to the library to borrow books. Maybe I'll go next week. Ah, I know. I can read the Bhagavad-gita As It Is. That's been sitting on my desk for a while now.
+I could also get some more sleep in -shrug- Be less tired, yeah?
+Maybe look through some old photos. But I won't have anyone to look through them with ): Brother's not around anymore. Mother and I just aren't on the same page right now. Mm, maybe I won't look through the photos..
+Ride my bike? Yeaah. Maybe I'll call Robert up and ask him to go ride with me.
+Walk somewhere? Hmm... Go to a park? Lie down and look at the clouds? I really wanna do that... But ah, I don't really wanna do it alone. Is anyone free to go watch clouds with me?
+Maybe I'll just spend the next couple of days watching a bunch of movies and TV shows. I could do that. I've done it before.

The next couple of days are gonna be quite lonely, I think. But that's ok. Though, is it sad that the Internet has such a strong effect on me? D: I think so. That's why I'm doing this haha XP


Anyway, so I just got back from Crawdaddy. Andrew P drove me, Kat, Le, and Jeisun there. Jeisun looks so different now O: And Kat's leaving tomorrow for South Africa O:

Not really much to say about dinner, except that Jeisun and Andrew complained a lot about eating crawfish XP Though, I suppose I agree that it's not really worth the money 'cause it doesn't really fill you up but costs so much.

Mm, oh, Andrew and I talked a bit about Kendo stuff. Of course, I went to the Palo Alto competition for him >_> Of course, I was there to support him in all his glory haha... No, really, I cheered him on when he was up. Totally impressed by his skills, especially after taking a year off (I was wrong before. I thought he had said he took a month off). Ooh, another competition sometime in June. And haha his kiai is so soft XP Had to laugh about that.


Hm, I feel like there's a lot I need to do this summer. Is there? I can't be sure. But I am sure there are plenty of things I want to do -shrug- Oh, I still need to actually make my tentative class schedule for next semester. Hm.


Anyway, yeah, that's all I'm gonna say tonight. If you need me, call or text. Only if you NEED to talk to me 'cause I don't have that many minutes or texts.


Mm, there's a lot of things on my mind tonight. A lot of things I'm wishing for, I suppose. But really, I need sleep. I need focus. I need direction. I need to not want anything so much haha. Stop wanting, and I should be happy. But really, what I need, what I want is...

Palo Alto Kendo Tournament....

I got up at 5 to get ready. Campus by 7. Mother drove me there 'cause I missed the light rail. The car ride to campus sucked..

Anyway, this is gonna be a quick entry, sadly, 'cause I need to go to bed.


Three-person teams.
SJSU team got pretty far in its bracket.
Andrew P's team (San Jose) won the Adult Kyu division. If SJSU had kept going, Andrew and Shiva would have faced each other :P I would have laughed. Dunno why though.
Jonathan C is definitely a good competitor.
Andrew was awesome. I didn't know how good he actually was at Kendo. Definitely a lot of skill there. I think he said he was sankyu(?).
Mm, Shiva's camera died early ): during one of her matches. And it was right before Di's match, which was pretty kick-ass.
Shiva took a hard fall during one of her matches D: I could feel the pain from where I was sitting haha XP
I am a rack. I hold everyone's stuff. I guard. Not very well though haha.
Jonathan's mom is nice. "Who is this strange lady taking pictures of us?" "That's my mom."
Mini kendoka key chains or actually phone add-on thingies :D
I took allergy medicine before I left the house. It said non-drowsy. Though, it does have the "may cause drowsiness" warning. I started feeling sleepy thirty minutes into the competition -_- Had some moments where my eyes didn't wanna stay open. I fell asleep a few times. So sad.
Screaming banshees (female kiai)? Not as bad as the first competition though.
Time was weird today. It went really slow, then really fast, then really slow again. "It must be 3 now -check watch- Oh, wow, it's only 11h45." "Ok, now, it's gotta be 1. Holy shit, it's already 4!" Yeah, time was weird.

Just lots of fun, interesting stuff.

Got back to campus by about 17h00. The Sport Club facilities closed at that time. Shiva couldn't get in to put away her bogu. Just barely missed the time. There was a guy who could have let her in but didn't.

Um, I chilled with her for a couple of hours. Got pizzas from Extreme Pizza and AriZona from Walgreens ("baa baaaa." The sliding doors make baa-ing noises). Back to her dorm because Shiva didn't want to eat outside -_- Listened to music from my iPod. Those five or so hours passed by real quick O:

Light rail home. I fell asleep on it, of course. Mother drove me home from the light rail. I didn't wanna listen to anything she said, so I kept listening to my music. She keeps saying the same shit over and over. Yet, nothing's really changed or happened. I'm still doing what I do, and she still does what she does. What is the fucking point of what she does to me? It has had no success, and she can see that.

I need to get out before I do something stupid. I mean, really not good. Mm..

But I'll try not to think about that shit. I'll just think about all the good things from today. Good things. Happy people. Memorable times.

Seafood Soft Tofu!

I always order that whenever I go to a Korean restaurant :P

Anyway, today, I pretty much chilled on campus with Shiva and Brian. Watched the Hip Hop class finals. Shiva did well :D Didn't realize she had made any mistakes at all haha. And what she did in her performance haha, somewhat unexpected XP But the class cheered haha. So it was all good :)

Recorded all but one of the class performances on Shiva's camera. There were two or three performances that totally impressed me. Especially the last performance by a girl in the class. Hers reminded me of "Save the Last Dance" (looove that movie). Specifically the main character's final performance with the ballet, hip hop, and chair :P

Anyway, after the final, Shiva and I went to the Sociology department so I could get my major form back. Went to the Philosophy department, but advisor hours were over. So either I contact one of the advisors over the summer or I wait till next semester to declare my minor. Doesn't really matter.

The rest of the day was spent mostly in Shiva's dorm. Brian came over. Silly chaos ensued. Body parts went where they shouldn't(?) go haha :P Pictures were taken on my phone and then Brian's T-T Some are suggestive O: And those are on Brian's phone -_- so I can't erase them DX Also, there were flying pigs :P One of them ended up in a picture on my phone haha.

Went to go eat at a Korean restaurant in Japantown with Shiva, Brian, Hong Lee(?), Michelle (Shiva's roomie), Maria (another roomie), and a guy whose name I never got haha. My first time in SJ Japantown. Got mochi. Tasty.

Uhh, there were other things going on throughout the day, I'm sure, but I can't quite recall them.


Oh, Mother and D left early this morning to go to Stockton. So when I went home, I asked about the trip and stuff. D got his first speeding ticket today O: apparently right after Mother warned him about speeding >_>


Umm. I dunno what else to say. Today was fun. I wish it didn't have to end. Going home early feels weird haha. But it makes Mother happy.

Happy enough to let me go to the Palo Alto Kendo Tournament tomorrow. Gotta get up pretty early, so that I can get a ride from Shiva's friend, Di. But yeah, it's gonna be awesome. I get to see Andrew's skills too hehe.


And if you were wondering, Brother is out of jail on bail. Don't know when his court date is.

Mm, I feel kinda lame about this, but I kept looking at my watch today, wondering if it was the hour he would be released and stuff, just wondering stuffs...

I have to say that though today was fun, I still couldn't completely enjoy myself at times. I just kept worrying about Brother and Mother. And it sucked. I couldn't help thinking about certain things. I almost made myself cry. Twice haha.

But anyway, I didn't cry, and my friends had fun. So it's all good :)


Btw, I have random schtuff to give. If you know anyone who would want any of these, let me know:

Basketball hand-pump: I don't know where the extra needles went -_- They disappeared! But yeah, I don't have a basketball anymore.

2 pairs of safety goggles: They're at least 7 years old but rarely used.

Kid-sized Batman hat: 2 years old. Worn once for one of ST's spirit weeks haha.

Large-sized rainbow-studded belt: Bought it a few months ago for $5 without paying attention to the size -_- Silly me, right?

Elmer's 6 tempura paints: Formerly Brother's. Really old, but they never dried out and still mostly full.

5-pack of multipurpose hobby paintbrushes: Opened, but never used.

Black shoe laces: I have two pairs.

5-pack of glow-in-the-dark bracelets.

Magic Rub eraser: Old, but never used. Also have a Staples eraser haha.

3 trackballs for mechanical mouse: Had them since my first desktop.

Surgical marker: I don't know why I have this, but it still works.

Pink sharpie: I've had this since senior year when someone accidentally left it in my bag of mini-sharpies. I never use it, and I don't want it.

"The iPod Book": Tips and such for using the iPod.

"TI- 83 Plus Graphing Calculator Guidebook": How to use all of the functions on a TI-83. Brother got this for me. I don't know why though.

Panasonic electric pencil sharpener: At least 7 years old, but it still works well. For this, I would be asking for $10.

iPod USB cord: I have an extra from my old iPod. I don't need two, so yeah.

10+ pens that I never use.


Yeah, that's all. I'm gonna go to bed early tonight hopefully. So I don't die from exhaustion this weekend before my last final haha.

I don't want to care...

Brother called Mother at around 02h30 this morning. He was arrested again. Didn't know why. Something to do with drugs..

I tried to go to bed, so I wouldn't have to listen to Mother complain about Brother, so she wouldn't talk to me.. I had a difficult time falling asleep. I did eventually after half an hour. I slept for maybe ten minutes before she came into my room. Called Vu Bail Bonds.

After, I tried to go back to sleep. Couldn't. Brother called again, and Mother didn't know how to accept the phone call from the jail. Press "0." Simple, isn't it?

Still couldn't sleep after that because she talks too loud. And she called D too. I ended up staying awake until probably 04h30 or 05h00. Woke up at 06h00 because Mother came in again to get me to call the bail bonds place again. They posted the bail. Brother should be out around 09h00 or 10h00 today.

All Mother could do was worry that Brother wouldn't make it to work on time. I think that should be the least of his worries.

Mm, what an exciting start to the day. About an hour's worth of sleep. When I woke up, I didn't feel tired. I know I'll feel the exhaustion within a few hours. But I'm borrowing D's car to go to campus today. So at least I won't have to worry about falling off my bike or falling asleep on the light rail -shrug-

Hmph, I still didn't finish my Linguistics essay because Brother's phone call kinda disrupted everything. Oh well, I only need another paragraph or two.

And I suppose I should be glad that the phone call came this morning rather than Sunday night/Monday morning. Or else taking my AAS final would be a bitch.

Anyway, today, I'm donating some books to the library and hopefully selling two books to the bookstore. Then if there's time, I need to go to the Sociology department. They should be open, hm. After that, I'm off to watch the Hip Hop class finals.

Ugh.. Headache.. >_< Grr.. I hope today/this weekend won't be completely shitty..

French and Sociology finals today...

Not too much happening lately...

Monday was the last day of classes.

But I didn't tell Mother, so I ended up being on campus all day yesterday. Chillaxing with Shiva as I tried to make her focus on studying for her finals. Sold my French textbook for $32 to the Spartan Bookstore. My Physics book is not up-to-date T-T so they recycled it for me.

Hung out with Harrison at 17h00. Half an hour later than when we had agreed. My fault. Was having an important conversation when 16h30 came around. But we had fun, talking and sharing a super burrito and a bottle of Coke from La Vic's. When was the last time I ate food with a friend on a bench, hm? So loong ago. But yeah, that burrito was pretty good. Harrison and I spent nearly two hours watching a few movie trailers on his iTouch and talking about dating/relationships (his experiences), hair, some chick who was trying to figure out how to skateboard in front of us, my comfortableness with intimate(?) things haha, and the usual random stuff Harrison says.

Met up with Shiva and Brian around 19h00. Harrison went to the library to study and also to wait for me O: So nice of him >_<

I watched Kendo people practice. Final practice for the semester. Ended early.

I will continue to be amazed and impressed -nods-

After the practice ended, Kendo and Naginata people went to the Pizzeria on San Carlos. I joined them. I feel like a moocher. Actually, I am a moocher XP But their sensei offered to pay for me >_> Hmm, he compliments me a lot and asks for my opinion often. I'm definitely not used to that haha. He said he enjoys having me around as a guest XD

Haha he compelled me to join in group photos and the end-of-practice pep talk(?). How interesting.

Anyway, yeah, Pizzeria. Vegetarian pizza. Interesting. I generally dislike bell peppers, but I actually picked them off the pizza and ate them. Something must be wrong with me -_- Oh, and the garlic bread smelled way strong @_@ I couldn't handle it. I like the light garlicky smell better haha.

Harrison gave me a ride home at 23h00. Mother was happy with that.


Mm, today was finals. French was more difficult than I expected -_- And the Sociology final had stuff that I wasn't in class to learn. I was supposed to go to the Sociology department early in the day to get my major form back, but they were closed till 13h30 -_- So I'm gonna have to get that on Friday. Anyway, I chilled with Shiva for parts of the day. And I actually went home early O: So sad. But I had promised Mother I would go home.

Oh, today, I was also sitting at a bench, reading L'Etranger, written by Albert Camus. Anyway, some European lady sat down next to me and started talking to me about French, languages, the swimming pool, her fatness, bikes, and other random things. She also interjected into the conversations of passersby. I just kept trying to read my book but maintained slight conversation and gave her polite feedback. Eventually, she did leave.

Am I inviting? I mean, do I look like an inviting person? Do I seem to be someone who will listen, no matter how crazy or strange a speaker may appear? Hmm. At least it wasn't some creeper or preacher this time XP

Anyway, tomorrow, I'm staying home -_- Hopefully will get my Linguistics paper done. Then selling at least one more book on Friday. Yay, free Jamba Juice ^_^ (selling books to the bookstore gets students free 16 oz JJ, wooo).


-yawn- I should go to bed. So tiiired. People can be so tiring... haha... Ahh, my brain is starting to lose sense x_x


Oh, before I forget, Kendo competition this Saturday in Palo Alto. Hopefully, I'm going. Shiva and Andrew P are gonna participate :D Wooo. I should ask Andrew if I can get a ride, since he lives right down the street haha XP

I can feel my cholesterol level increase...

So I didn't go to the beach today. And the family thing didn't happen either. Instead, I sat in front of the computer for most of the day, listening to music. Got started on my Linguistics paper, but that wasn't much.

Could have gone to the beach for like an hour, maybe, because Maggie and Dan left late for it. But eh, I didn't feel like asking Mother because she would have gotten angry at me (which she did, when I later told her that I turned down the beach offer -_-).

Around 17h45, Le came by to give me a ride to Crawdaddy. Met up with Kat, Andrew, Ken (Kat's friend), and Hao (who showed up really late).

Yay for spicy crawfish and raw oysters ^_^

Haha Kat, Andrew, Ken, Le, and I were there for at least half an hour, eating, and nothing happened. Hao came and was there for maybe five minutes, and he managed to spill the bag of spicy crawfish and knock over my root beer. Within ten seconds. He's got skills haha.

Mm, pretty good food. Good music. Good catching-up stuff. Afterward, we all just stood in front of the restaurant talking some more. All I remember is the viet joke about Obama's name XP and Hao's matching greenness with Le's stuff.

Hm, Kat and Andrew are probably watching Iron Man 2 right now. I wanted to go, but Mother wouldn't let me. Three-hour movie would have meant I would come home around midnight. And I have class tomorrow at 9h00. But does it really matter? It's the last day. Mm, review, I guess.

Oh, and I can't believe Le is graduating from SCU already. It's only been two years O_O How she did this, I do not know. She's just crazy. Or well, maybe it was all the AP stuff. But yeah, she's gonna be in SF, starting next semester. UC Hastings. Damn. Who else is leaving SJ this year? O:

Mm, Kat's leaving for South Africa on May 30th. We better chill again before you leave XP


Ahh, I think I've already said this, but I feel so... left behind. Everyone's got plans and stuff. I don't. I'm not sure I really want to have plans -shrug- I suppose I should take some time to really think about my future. Someone wanna help me with this? 'Cause I'm not sure how one thinks about the future. I guess Le gave me some advice about it. But I don't think big, so I dunno >_>

Anyway, today ended up not being too bad. Though, I am sad I didn't get to see Maggie. Sowwie! This summer, we will totally chill, and you can drive me around XD


Mm, I feel like I'm gonna go into a food coma. I ate much more than I had planned to.


Ok, the rest of this week, what am I doing? Class and stuff tomorrow. Tuesday, Harrison and Cristina are gonna go eat pho for dinner. So I'll probably go eat with them and then ask Harrison to drop me off on campus if I decide to go watch Kendo people do their thing. Wednesday, back-to-back finals for French and Sociology. Fun stuff. I'll probably reward myself with food or drink after that. Thursday is open. Friday, I'm gonna go watch the Hip Hop dance finals for Shiva's class. My weekend's open too.

Ooh, Music in the Park this year. I wanna go on July 8 and 22 :D If you're in SJ on those days, come with meee!! Tonic is playing on the 8th, and Green River Ordinance is opening for them XD That is SO AWESOME! The Gaslight Anthem is playing on the 22. Don't know who's opening for them yet. But AHHH, I wanna see them. So yes, the 8th and the 22nd, go, go!

Anyway, yeah, that's all I've got to say today, I think. Oh, you know, I feel like this summer is gonna pass by real quick. So let's make it awesome, yeah? If anyone's going to SoCal and don't mind me coming along, holla at me, yeah? :)

No beach time?? D:

Nooo.. ):

The beach fun for Sunday is a maybe for me now 'cause my family might be doing something together. I should want to spend more time with them. I know I should, but ahh beeeaach. I still haven't gone to the beach with anyone from high school D: That's depressing -_-


Mm, oh, I took the light rail home today without Harrison. How sad. Instead, I rode home with Mike, older brother of Justin F (from ST class of '08) haha. My phone had died when I got to the light rail stop near school. So I asked Mike if I could borrow his phone. And then I kept talking to him. Nice guy. He and his brother look soo much alike. Anyway, yeah, that was interesting :P

I'm really only mentioning this occasion because, well, you know how I am. I usually never start conversations with people I don't know. But I didn't feel like sitting by myself on the light rail and falling asleep haha. So I actually managed a conversation with someone who was a stranger (even if we did take a class together a year ago).


Hmm, so the plan for this weekend? Well, I don't really know anymore. Tomorrow, I'm going to campus to chill with Shiva, work on a paper, and possibly go to the Sociology Department. We'll see what happens. The rest of my weekend is unforeseeable at this point.

Ooh, one more day of class on Monday. Three finals. Though, I'll be showing up to campus more than just the days on which I have finals. I think. Don't know yet. Probably will 'cause I don't wanna stay home and do nothing. But I do need to clean out my drawers and backpack of papers and schtuff from this semester. Hmm... Still need to decide on my class schedule for next semester, mm... Fun.


What am I doing? I don't know. I'm feeling like I'm starting to lose [something that I cannot name]. Maybe it's really just my mind. There are thoughts in my head that need to get out and stay out hahaha.

A lot of thinking being done and much thinking to be done. Stuff that's worrying me and stuff that shouldn't worry me. But I'm not even sure what they are. I'm not sure if this makes sense. I'm just too tired to explain what's going on in my head.. My head, ahh..

Maybe I'll think more clearly tomorrow. Hmm. Maybe I'll feel less weird.

Time to declare WAR!

No, not really. War is not the answer. As much as you want to tear someone to shreds, violence is not worthwhile.


Anyway, I just checked my SJSU account. Apparently, I have 63 units. I did not know that. I didn't know that all (27 units worth) of my APs counted toward my actual college units -_- Why didn't anyone tell me that? I was led to believe that I had only earned 36 units so far.

Damn it. I got a message on MySJSU telling me that I have to declare a major by August 1, 2010, or else I wouldn't be able to register for/keep my classes for the Fall.

I can't declare Justice Studies because their window of time for application is sometime in November. Shiva has suggested that I apply for another major and then switch to JS later on. But no, I'm not gonna do that. I'm just gonna try to stick with what I decide to declare.


So last night, I was up till 0230 or so, listing out possibly classes I'll take next semester and picking another major to declare. Fun stuff.

I've got a list of possible classes to explore. And I've also decided to declare Sociology with a concentration in Criminology. My minor will still probably be Philosophy. Soo, I'll have to declare sometime this summer. Fun.

But yeah, no Justice Studies. Sad, but I'll live. Sociology with a concentration in Criminology is somewhat close to that, I guess >_> And Criminology has definitely always been an interesting topic of discussion.


Anyway, yeah, there's that update about my academic progress or whatever.


I know I haven't been updating much about anything I've been doing lately. Sorry. I'm just on campus a lot. And when I'm home, I'm usually too tired to post an entry. Just gonna say I've been having some good, fun times with peoples. Interesting conversations. Still mostly relationship-related (or sex-related haha).

Mm, last day of classes is on Monday. I have a short presentation in Linguistics tomorrow, woo. Need to write a paper for that class too. Finals are coming so soon, ahhh. Where did this friggin' semester gooo?


Mm, and oh, I don't remember who I was talking to, but we were talking about what we're gonna do for summer. I told him I had been planning to go to SoCal for Expo but that's not going through 'cause it's wayy expensive. Disneyland, but that doesn't seem to be happening either. So sad. I want to get away from the Bay for a few days or so. So my friend told me to just go to SoCal for a few days and crash at someone's place. And, you know, that doesn't sound too bad. I just need to find someone who wouldn't mind letting me spend like a week at their place.

If you know anyone who wouldn't mind, lemme know please :) But I actually would pay them for letting me stay over. Yeah, stay at someone's place, and then go visit hella people 'cause I know a lot of people are staying around LA/Irvine for summer courses.

-sigh- I just want to go to different places this summer. Don't have to be far, but should be far away enough from home.


Blah. I should go to bed. I've been up way too lately the past couple of nights -__- Doing what? I don't remember. Not school stuff, I think.


Mm, when y'all are back in San Jose, call/text me! Looking forward to the beach this Sunday ^_^

Question 2

I don't know if it's because people don't think I think about other things or they don't want to ask me other things. But many people have been talking to me about love and relationships. And I only bring up the topic with a few people -shrug- A couple of people trying to give me advice lately too >_> or "encourage" me to do something about my relationship status -_-

Like I need people to remind me that I'm alone, that I want to be with someone -sigh-

Anyway, I'm not sure how I'm gonna answer this question. I thought I already talked about this enough, but I guess not. I'm just gonna type whatever stuff comes to mind. Not gonna be in any coherent order. Is there ever any order? Ok, onward with the flow of consciousness haha...


Q: What is love?


A: Oh baby, don't hurt me. Don't hurt me no more... :P

I'm assuming this question is about romantic love. Well, I'm not sure what love is. An emotion? An attachment to another? An irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired? :P Robert Frost ftw!

I don't think the love I'm looking for can really be described haha. Or I just don't know how to find the words to describe it. But I'm sure love is what most of us are looking for though. I just don't really know what it is. It's too abstract for me to be able to define for myself. But since it is a known concept, I can't help but think about it often.

Since I can't define it quite how I want to, I'm just gonna tell you what I think of it. I'm not sure I know anything of it haha.

To feel wanted would be nice. Not just accepted by friends, but to be really wanted and needed by someone. To want and need someone as well. To be with someone who cares that much about you. To know you're not alone. To not feel lonely.

Love is a give-and-take kinda thing, isn't it? Unless you include one-sided love; then never mind. But yeah, you give a part or all of yourself to someone special, and they do the same for you. You both talk, listen, care, and take the time to make things work. Both must put effort into the relationship. You give what you can, and you take what you need. It's a kinda process of sorts.

Love invites trust. And with that, vulnerability. Reminds me of a quote. If I could only find it... "Love is giving someone the ability to destroy your heart... but trusting them not to." That is a lot of trust. Just saying.

Oh, there's a difference between loving someone and being in love. Remember that. Haha I know there's a difference even if I can't define love in absolute terms. To love someone means you care about them (Does this mean you can love strangers?). To be in love with someone means... what?


I have questions about love for you:
Is love something that you find? Or is it something you build up? I mean, is it just there when you meet someone? Or do you have to know the person and wait for love to find its way in later?
Are there such things as soulmates? What is a soulmate?
Is love predetermined and guaranteed? Or is it something you're supposed to keep working on together?
How do you know it's love?
Is love a decision or something you can't control? Compulsion? Obsession?
If you rush into love, are you likely to rush out of love?
When you're in a relationship, do you think about the long-term or do you only think about what is there at the time of the relationship?
Why does it seem so easy for people to fall out of love?

Oh, I have so many questions haha. I'm curious as to what you have to say.


I've been talking to Robert B on AIM. I asked him what he thought love was. His answer:

"That warm fuzzy feeling inside, just being around someone. Where just thinking about them can make you smile - if you let yourself - and when the thought of them being happy is enough to make you happy"

I wish I could keep my answer as simple as that because I do agree with his answer. But you know me; I gotta think and rethink it.


Whatever love is, I hope I can find/see it, have the courage to pursue it, and believe that I deserve it.

I only know what it is to like someone. A lot. I don't know what it means to be in love with someone. I'm afraid I won't get it right. But eh, I suppose I am willing to take a chance? Maybe? If someone's willing to give me a chance, mm...

I wonder how I will be if and when I decide to take a chance. Should I take a chance? haha...


Ooh, quotes haha. Just a collection of many that resonate with me, I suppose. And I'm sure some would resonate with you too.


Haha well, I don't think I answered that question at all. Instead, I rambled. And I still didn't say much.

And why do I feel like people are going to continue to ask me about love and relationships? Hmmm... I suppose I don't really mind talking about this stuff, but I'm not sure I have a whole reservoir of things to say on this topic. I'm already repeating myself, you know.


Anyway, five days of classes left. Then a week or so of finals. Then SUMMER BREAK. It seems Disneyland might not be happening ): nor is Expo happening 'cause it's just too expensive for me x_x but hey, that just means Mother and Brother are willing to pay for some other trip(s) I might take this summer. I'm still not sure if I want to take summer classes so that I can apply for Justice Studies. I might not declare that. I might change my mind. To what, I do not know yet. Will also try to find a friggin' job.

Yep. Scary fast, this semester. Can't believe it's almost over O: What shall I do during the summer? Not like I can hang out with people every day ): I can't use school as an excuse. Blah. We'll see what happens. Maybe Mother and I will move this summer. Who knows?
