2008 was full of bungee jump ups and downs.
there were several times when i felt so helpless and naive.
but even with the many let-downs and disappointments, i have also racked up countless meaningful memories and laughs.

knowing that there is a select handful of people who are genuinely big-hearted and trustworthy people make me look forward to 2009.

so here's to the ending of a very *interesting* year.

So is it wrong that 80min before my final that I act like a total
loser and take a pic of the lib on my way past? The sky was hot pink
and purple too, but my camera couldn't capture it. It seriously looked
so serene. Ahh so beautiful. <3 UCLA even if I get mentally abused
every couple weeks and then completely raped every 10 weeks or so.
Rawr. Bye bye fall quarter! 'Twas interesting.. To say the least!

Pain

for those in mourning, those in heartbreak, those taking finals...

“Pain, you just have to ride it out, hope it goes away on its own, hope the wound that caused it heals. There are no solutions, no easy answers, you just breath deep and wait for it to subside. Most of the time pain can be managed but sometimes the pain gets you where you least expect it. Hits way below the belt and doesn’t let up. Pain, you just have to fight through, because the truth is you can’t outrun it and life always makes more.”

- Meredith Grey

Hai, Hubble.



i have always been a Katie girl, figuratively and literally - with my crazy annoyingly unkempt hair - and although sometimes i envy the simple girl purely for the fact that she's more.. simple and thusly lives&thinks more simply, i realize how boring life would be if my mind was void of all its complexities, twists and turns.

and i have to say that i appreciate having good friends and a boyfriend who can sit with me, just as perplexed and curious as i am. seriously. i love my katie boys and girls.


Carrie: Your girl is lovely, Hubble.
Big: I don't get it.
Carrie: And you never did.

B. Spurrs



You know, i really love the song. i think it is SO Britney... but there are two things about the video that i have personal issues with:

1. When she has that short black bob with the eyeglasses and office garb.. she looks like my Biochem professor from last spring. Seriously, it's uncanny. so it freaks me out imagining Dr. Villa freaking up on... a womanizer.

2. ... which leads me to this - the guy playing the "womanizer"? the worst actor in the world. LOL at his terrified faces.

did anyone catch her documentary? I love her!! although i thought the angle of the documentary was quite annoying ~ "poor old Britbrit- she's so damn famous!!" i love her country ass accent though. it's cute. for some reason, i hate jessica simpson's.. well, i pretty much hate JS in totality.. except maybe her shoe line.

anyway, as i was browsing youtube, she performs Womanizer @ the Bambi awards.. and britbrit looks like she forgot how to dance in heels & lipsync in perfect synchonization like she used to. its not like i could ever come close to doing any of her choreography.. but compared to her old vids (which i used to be obsessed with) she looks so stiff. she's probably just rusty. homegirl DID have 2 babies!

let's hope she streamlines her performance by april b/c me&dani have plans to catch her in CONCERT!!!!


holy shiatsu. so excited.

& i'd forgotten how powerful& beautiful poetry could be.


Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening

Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there's some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Healing

rage: when hatred isn't strong enough
sadness: when you'd rather die than eat or sleep
self hatred: when you're convinced it's all your fault
false hope: when you're convinced you'll get back together
resolve: when you're determined to move on
relapse: when you'd give anything to go back
real hope: when you rediscover yourself and your strengths
moving on: when you rediscover the world and its joy


sometimes there isn't a neat little stepbystep rubric to healing.. the same emotion could be revisited again and again... seriously, you could probably insert sadness everywhere except perhaps the last two lines.
