up all night...

so i was in bed by 9. thought about posting but didn't. listened to ipod. couldn't sleep. so i ended up reading some of my old AIM chats.

seriously, i think the majority of my undergraduate career was spent on AIM and xanga. i had these very long (like hours long) chats saved with various people. and what's funny is that i can't even hold a conversation over the phone or in person for as long as i chatted on AIM. i think it has something to do with the lack of awkward pauses. i mean, when you chat with someone online, there aren't really any awkward pauses because 99% of the time either one of you is looking at something else besides the conversation box.

i think it's been over 5 years since i've been on AIM. do they erase your account after a certain amount of time? i'm too lazy to check and don't really feel like downloading it onto my computer. does anyone even use AIM anymore??

how did i ever stay up all night? oh yeah, it's because i spent all night on AIM. well, since i'm not in school any more and no longer have the ability to choose to skip class (and can not skip work), no more 1 am to 4 am chats. and certainly no more blogging so close to midnight.

knock on wood.

Love forgot my xanga account name. lame.

double-take

today while getting some lunch i came across Love's doppelganger. for serious. even becky looked twice and she just met Love in person last week.

of course, Love is much cuter. and taller. and has smaller glasses.

got into a slightly heated discussion about immigration with ruby today. i see both sides of the issue but i work for one side and i guess that makes me biased.

i was told at lunch that i live in a bubble because i can't believe racism and intolerance still exists today. i think my bubble should extend to the rest of the world.

the majority of what i've learned and believe about equality and tolerance can be attributed to two things: the baby-sitters club book series and two plays i did in mrs. villarta's 3rd grade class. i think the world would be a much better place if we all gave ann m. martin and mrs. villarta's lessons a try. 

knock on wood.

looking back...

i just spent the past hour or so re-reading my old xanga and myspace blog entries. i used to write so much and then i stopped around the time i started dating Love. i also noticed that Love tended to comment on my posts more often around the time we started dating. i should've seen that he liked me based on the sheer amount of comments he left but it's harder to see things when they're right in front of your face.

i've decided that i would like to go back to blogging because my xanga has far more entries in it than any diary or journal i've ever had. i contemplated using my other blog but maybe i'll reserve that one especially for Love, since it was, in fact, named for him... even before we ever dated. which should've been a sure sign that i liked him back.

in any case, it's funny how things work out. while Love was here visiting we talked about how we connected. it was fun to reminisce.

it's funny and strange that all of our SD friends that are couples are now long-distance couples like us. it's also funny that we had the same advice to give: always know when you're going to see each other next. (thank you kathleen for that sound piece of advice)

i don't have an exact date, but i know that i don't want to wait until december to see Love again so i'll probably plan a trip to the east coast once i save up some dough and accumulate enough vacation time.

distance makes the heart grow fonder but there's nothing like being held by someone you love so much. and i'm sure i'd love it just as much if i saw Love every day as opposed to every few months.

in other news, not much else has changed. same job, same shit.

knock on wood.
