after landing in the local airpot, i went to dinner with mi family and mi local angel. i received some rather memorable fortune cookie fortunes which i think i'll treasure for a long time, along with the penny from CJCL State Convention '02...::sigh:: both the fortunes and the penny bring back memories. i keep changing, growing, evolving, and degenerating, and even in last quarter and summer so far i can mark off distinct periods when mi personality changed and different facets came into prominence.

fortunes:
you will always have good luck in your personal affairs. ~ yeah...::dreaming of wicked smiles:: we'll see how this one turns out; im missing mi texas folks like mad at the moment...and NJCL (national latin convention) is coming up, where i'll see friends and the like.

you are the center of every group's attention. ~ only after making a suitable entrance, of course.

****varant can be awesome too, but he dinna work w/our lab until intersession.

it's the last nite of camp for me (thank goodness). last nite of interesting scenery, last nite of staying up until 5 talking to mi angel therapist and learning about the natures of people, last nite of wanting to stab people in the eye and to then toss them out the window, last nite of talking to roomie and assorted cool folks. i'll miss it here; once i adjusted, i think that UT's been mi favorite camp. or at least it's up there for fun camp experiences.

something wise, something profound, something deep and something meaningfulphilosophicalcontemplativequotable. none of that's coming out of mi head tonite/this morning.

going to start posting quotes from debate camp, and adding to them as time passes.

libby, zach, bonnie, assorted: the CLOUD of VOIIIIDDD!!!
libby, zach, bonnie, assorted: hey, deleuze! how's the weather on the thousand plateaus??
smileyface: there's not enough sex in this movie*
smileyface: I'm going to go get some sweet and sour sauce
frank: mike...i'm going to stick a knife in your eye

im supposed to be doing work right now...actually, i should be sleeping now...not writing in mi blog. funni how plan i ends, intersession begins, david and lauren leave, and i start writing on mi blog again, considering previous statements about mi mood trends during periods of massive blog posting. well, i guess there are other factors, too. relationships are screwed up (not mine, those of others who i know), i dont know what to say about a few somethings, and yeah...on the plus side of things, mi roomie d/l Hero onto her laptop today, so i can listen to it as much as i want, almost. Hero, by Nickelback, is one of mi favorite songs now.

some goals are unreachable, some shouldnt be reached, and some you really want to make happen. what value do dreams have? they give you something to aspire for, something to dream about, an escape from the reality of life at the present moment. what dreams do i most want to come true, at this moment? i wish i knew...
