"Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in
the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies,
you've got about a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I
know of, babies—God damn it, you've got to be kind."
-Kurt Vonnegut

I am coming to Houston in ten days. can't wait to see charlotte russe, and bay oaks, the golf course, friends, and family, ..even the ford escort. lol. gonna miss cheng.
I talked to Oliver just now.. it's getting so late and it's hard to keep the eyes open. actually that might be the allergies.. also I wake up too early and sleep too late, I think.

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.”
("The Four Loves" by C.S. Lewis)

I miss my book of Walt Whitman..

"Trippers and askers surround me,

People I meet, the effect upon me of my early life or the ward and city I live in, or the nation,
The latest dates, discoveries, inventions, societies, authors old and new,
My dinner, dress, associates, looks, compliments, dues,
The real or fancied indifference of some man or woman I love,
The sickness of one of my folks or of myself, or ill-doing or loss or lack of money, or depressions or exaltations,
Battles, the horrors of fratricidal war, the fever of doubtful news, the fitful events;
These come to me days and nights and go from me again,
But they are not the Me myself."

"People come into your life and people go. But it's comforting to know the ones you love are always in your heart. And if you're very lucky, a plane ride away."

Happy Easter :)

Freud to Marie Bonaparte, "The great question that has never been answered and which I have not been able to answer, despite my thiry years of research into the feminine soul, is 'What does a woman want?' "

Spring Break

Everyone I know lately is dealing with trust issues. From new friends that you find you can't trust (like this guy I used to talk to in my drawing class who I found stealing my bristol paper the other day), to old friends you're afraid to lose (or really, your old friends being afraid of losing their old friends)... it's been stressful this winter.

psst I plan on running away very soon. just for a short time.
At the very least I'm going to be spending the rest of today avoiding the 12 degree weather. I'll eat my coconut ice cream and pita chips and sleep. :)

i had to make a cardboard glove tonight for 3d class..
