How time flies! It's amazing. My sister has been married nearly 5 months. One year ago I was finishing up my first semester at MSUM. It was a year and a half ago that we all were onstage in Phantom of the Opera. My memory is yelling NO WAY!!! But calendars don't lie and a big 2005-4-3-2 stares back at me convincingly. All I can do is put my head back, whistle, and wow.
Thanks to all who have helped me through it all; cheery sunshiney days, glum faces and tears. You know who y'are. And I love you.

Just thoughts...

Human interpretation can be a tricky thing sometimes. It's not always the case that we read people in the correct way and when you think about it, this can be very un-nerving. Our only ways of taking in information are the indirect observation of a person, or through their view of themselves as related in their own words, which are still open to our interpretation, by the way...
And how do we fear others' thoughts about us? The fact that we open our minds is a sign of trust, but also an occasion of brutal vulnerability. How much more we could, would say to those we love if only it were possible to get over that fear of being too revealed, too helpless. Of course, those we are closest to could ruin our whole lives, make fools of us and laugh us to scorn. But part of that love is an unvoiced agreement to hold it all sacred, and we do it for them as well. Yet it can be so difficult just to tell someone of your love for them. Why is it hard? Is being in need of someone else so very terrible? Break the silence. They won't laugh.

Just got back from a belated b-day lunch at China Doll. I've suddenly discovered that Chinese food is awesome!! Many thanks to Nate.. thou rockest

reading has taken over my life. But don't bother with the rescue team; I'm rather enjoying my captivity.
And, to quiet any fears you may have, a burning love of literature is the only relationship I'm involved in at present. Rumors are scary things. Pay them no heed.

I need to write more poetry.

Nothing more.
