| I believe that I have not only cheated on my first internet addicting site (xanga) but have downright prostituted myself to her chief enemies, the formidable Myspace and Facebook. So long, farewell, adieu, goodbye, Hasta Nunca Xanga. I doubt I'll frequent your pages again, though they once held so much joy and entertainment for me in my younger days. But alas, the flower of youth within me has shrivelled and died and been replaced with the workaholic international student who knows too many people and can only keep up with them via the internet. So this is goodbye, possibly forever. It seems fitting to quote a classic in times like this and thus I have chosen some of the most famous last words of all time, although "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn." | | |
| You know, I don't know what is up with the recent increase in bluntness among people who know me only moderately well. People like casual friends, teachers, acquaintances and the like; they all think that they have the right to tell me insulting things very freely and expect me to accept said statements with gratitude. Statements like, "Well, you are pretty manly, you know." or such endearing comments as, "Your voice is just low and husky like a man's." Comments on my physical stature, my voice and my carriage and persona in general tend towards manliness and not femininity. Am I justified in feeling indignant at this insult to my own womanliness? Is that even a word? Why do men get a word like manliness to go with masculinity when women get only the word femininity and not womanliness? Ooh...gender inequality strikes again. I think I'll go up to my room and write the new hit song "Alone in my Principles."...i dont expect you to recognize that quote...but its from one of my favorite movies. Anywayz. | | |

| i think i know why God invented the sabbath.
PEOPLE NEED IT!
i never used to do this but my senior year i decided to start it.
every sunday after church and lunch i start doing my homework in a lying down position because it helps me fall asleep. then i take a nap!!! it's so great. i slept for four hours today! that's a pretty long nap. usually they're only about two or three hours. but i decided to share that with you all.
Sabbaths are a good thing!

| i just got back from Hong Kong last night. erm, more like this morning. I arrived home at almost 1 in the morning after an intense day of walking, buses, planes, trains, the car and more walking. today i was supposed to have my first concert with the Chambers Singers ensemble but i was sick. well, am sick. i have no voice and i've been sleeping and coughing all day. talk about lethargy. i have no energy for anything. i dont even want to think about openeing my english textbook to do my homework for tomorrow. EEEEW! i dont want to go to school! NO! i wont go...fine i'll go. now that you've convinced me...sheesh. ok. im tired again. sitting up has worn me out. bye. | | |
