i'm not feeling horribly inspired to write, maybe that's why it's 8:25 and i'm just now posting?
i talked on the phone with jeannine* for about an hour. that was great; i miss her and it's weird that we're not roommates and in each other's everyday life anymore. she graduated this weekend from uc davis, and is going to start working full time and is moving out with her boyfriend in about a month. good times. hopefully she'll come visit me soon, as well.
going to a scrapbooking party with sabrina tomorrow! i like scrabooking. i like sabrina. sounds like a recipe for fun.
since i don't have a ton to say, how about i actually do a pieces of you entry? wow. i'm surprised they haven't kicked me out by now!! so here's the last 3 i missed:
1. What is Deja Vu? Have you experienced it before?
deja vu is when you suddenly feel as if the situation you're in or something that has been said is familiar. in fact, it's so familiar, you feel as if you've been in that exact moment before. it's freaky. i've had actual deja vu a couple in my life before, but it's not something you can just record. it's always something weird, like... standing in line at the grocery store and you look over your shoulder and... you've seen it all before. nothing monumental.
2. What signs or labels would the people in your life hang around your neck if they could?
david: "i am taken by a guy who loves me very much. will you be my friend?"
mom: "i am sinning and going against the lord's will because i live with my boyfriend and engage in premarital sex."
brooke: "i wish i could live closer to my best friend!"
jasmine: "always available to be kneaded repeatedly. for hours. nonstop."
griffin: "NOT DAVID. NO FOOD HERE. BITE ME."
3. Share with us a time or two when you didn't say what you wanted to say.... What did you really want to say? What do you think kept you from doing so and how did the situation make you feel?
i very rarely said what i really felt to my friend jenny*. she was a very sensitive person who would take every tiny bit of contrcutive criticism the wrong way, and she'd take actual criticism even worse. it made me feel as if i was on eggshells every time iw as around her, and that if i didn't worship her enough, she'd leave me and our friendship. i guess i should have realized that her leaving wouldn't have been the worst thing.
what would i have said? gosh, there are so many things and they're all probably hurtful. so i think i'll go with, "jenny, you are not better than everyone else. you are not a goddess that should be worshipped. if you ever learn to treat people as equals, and to honestly give as much as you take, than maybe you'll be able to have some real friends; the kind that last for a lifetime."
thank you and goodnight!
