finals is fast approaching...
actually, it's more like i'm being dragged to my appointment with the guillotine... just follow the heel tracks..
(doesn't that paint a pretty picture?? oh the visuals in my little head..)

one last chance at experiencing the free world..
i'm going to the zoo tomorrow for a few hours..
if it rains, screw it.. i'm still going...
besides, what are umbrellas for???

arrrggghhh.. i hate it when i wake up minutes before my alarm clock..
to rob myself of those last precious minutes of sleep is preposterous..
grrrr..

some days i just want to forget that the world exists
and curl up into a tiny little ball..

stress makes my tummy hurt..
i'm surprised i don't have an ulcer..
breathe in...
breathe out...

ever since moving to oregon/vancouver i never made an effort to make friends..
i thought, i've already got the greatest friends, why would i need more?
but more came..

yesterday, a dear friend graduated from pnca
twas a lovely affair... a full house, inspiring speakers, and free food~
once again, i played the role of supportive friend..
taking pictures, holding flowers, guarding bags, and taking more pictures..
but hey, i'll do just about anything for free food..
except for sleep with someone..

and i digress..
the 2004 senior thesis exhibition is currently on display downtown at the cornelia & william t.c. stevens studios (if u get to main building, ask for the thesis annex)...
the exhibition is open tues - sat 11am-6pm through sat june 19th...
there's some really great art...
(pssst... look for esther lee's~)

i really should stop trying to help people,
when i'm a whole basketcase myself..
it's ridiculous..

three of my girlfriends from seattle came to visit yesterday..
it would be the first time in at least 3 years since i last saw them..
we had the best time ever..

had dim sum in chinatown, coffee in portland, shopping at woodburn..
it rained a little, but nothing was going to faze us..
laughing, taking pictures, and telling stories..
"great", "awesome", "wonderful"... they don't do this experience justice..
no word ever will..

from the moment we hugged hello, to the moment we hugged goodbye,
it was as if we didn't miss a beat..
i'm so grateful that i've been blessed with such friends..

went and saw van helsing..
u know.. hugh jackman.. kate beckinsale..
it wasn't what i expected..
they turned vampires into dispassionate monsters..
but they did well in the special effects department..
all in all, i'd say this is one to rent..

i called someone of the male persuasion a jackass today..
and boy did it feel gooOOod..

driving along, singing a happy tune..
when mr jackass cuts me off..
but that wasn't wut pissed me off..no no no...
about 10 feet later, he decides he needs to come to a near stop and turn right..

so, i rolled down my passenger window..
and with the grace of one inflicted by tourette's, with every fiber in my being, i yelled, "jackass!!!!"
mr jackass did a double take..
and i went back to my happy song..

damn, that felt good..

things are pretty constant these days..
constantly busy, that is..
just keep swimming, just keep swimming..

television season finales are wrapping up..
angel is finished..
nothing more to watch than simpsons..
everything else is lame..

keeping my eye on a digital camera, but it costs almost $400..
anyone wanna make a donation?

found a new addiction... beads..
so many colors, so little time..

and bush is still the idiot son of an a**hole..
no big surprise there...
