Meet: Sivan.

My best friend, my personal psychiatrist, the love of my life. This girl and I met in 6th grade, and we've been friends ever since. Despite her moving back to California before our freshman year in high school, we've still managed to remain close all these years. Sivan's been there for me through the thick and thin, and has always been able to put up with my insecurities, eccentricities, and my down-right weirdness. We've shared too many memories to count, and I swear I would not have made it this far had it not been for her. You all might want to get to know her well too, because she just may be my future wife. So, on this very special day, I just want to say, thank you, Sivan, for being the best friend anyone could ask for. I love you and I hope you have an awesome 20th birthday. Because hell, you deserve it.

Happy Birthday, Gorgeous!

Momzilla left on Sunday. And I find myself all lonely again.

I've decided I really need a companion.

Someone to take my mind off things. Someone to make me feel loved, wanted, and needed. Someone I know will always be there for me, to listen to my problems, to lend a shoulder for me to cry on. Someone to keep warm at night.

I need a cat. Really.

No, but in all seriousness, I am feeling better after spending an awesome few days with my mom. But, I also caught a cold over the weekend, and I'm now the proud owner of a splitting headache and a horrible cough. Oh yes, I'm even that annoying sick girl in class. Sigh. Life works in cruel ways.

Anyway, it's Esther's birthday, so I think it's only fair that I leave you all with this:

[Edit: Pictures always make things better. :D]

I've been sad. Like, really sad, ever since I got back to Austin.

I have completely lost any desire to go out or to see anyone. All I want to do is stay in my apartment and watch movies [which isn't all that bad, mind you, since I have the whole room to myself now]. But I've become so anti-social. What a loser.

It's gotten so bad that I called my mom, bawling, begging her to come visit me. And she is. This Friday.

Pathetic, I know.

I so lose at life. Fix me?

But finding neat things on the internet always cheers me up.

The Shocker - Haha. It's genius. [Via Julie]

Sushi Pillow - My birthday's coming up in a few weeks, don't feed me that crap about how you never know what to get me.

The Coolest Calculator on eBay - Check out the description. Did you know that ninjas liked math? [Via Vinh]

And a little comic from me to you:

Just for the record, love is not giving him most of your French fries. Are you fucking kidding me? Who the hell came up with this horseshit? Why don't you say more honest stuff more like, "Love is putting up with each other's farts and skid marks", or "Love is being able to spend more than 48 hours with each other without the use of a machete", or even "Love is being willing to pick each other's noses and not get grossed out". But if you touch my French fries, I will kill you.

Some ASR girls from UGA and Georgia Tech came here this past weekend. Hurrah! They're nice, they're fun, and they made me laugh. All is well in this world. A few pics:




And I just want to bring this old picture back for kicks.

HUGE picture update.

So remember that post that I wrote forever ago after I got back from Bali and Taiwan? [It was the 6.17.2004 post, if you want to go back and refresh your memory.] Remember how I said I would put up pictures as soon as I got them from various sources? Well, I finally did. So here they are, half a year late. But hey, at least I didn't back down on my promise.

Oh, and I'm sorry if you have dial-up.

And as always, mouse-over for comments.

Bali

Taiwan








So that was my summer update. But oh ho, I'm not done. Now it's time for the Thanksgiving/New Years pictures. [Once again, I really apologize if you have dial-up.]







Wow, so I think thats enough pictures to last me for the next few months, huh. Enjoy!
