catching up

i haven't really felt like writing for a while, so i'll use this chance to sum up my last week or so. actually, i had a really bad week last week, so i'll just forget about it and sum up my weekend. yeah, that sounds like a plan.

so my sister cam down thursday night. we met up friday after i finished my classes. it was very nice to hang out with her and her coworker, cory. we went to downtown la jolla, had lunch there, then went to downtown sd to the mall. later, we had dinner at a restaraunt in the gaslamp. it was tres chic, very nice. i felt rather underdressed, in jeans and a sweatshirt and flip flops. but that's ok. and i stayed at the hotel with them since i just didn't wanna go back to campus for a while.

saturday, we went to a baby shower for a friend of theirs...this was the reason they originally came down. it was the oddest experience...i mean, there were all these people in their late 20s to early 30s...it made me feel really little. they have such different priorities...families and jobs and such. i just hung back and listened. in the evening, we went to see "high crimes" and then stayed at the friend's house for the night.

sunday, my sisterbrought me back to the campus,which was kinda sad, since it meant a return to reality. but that's ok. we went to ranch 99 with amy from cin's church and got lots of yummy food. and then there was the ballroom dance...we went all out and got dressed up and made up and all. it was a lot of fun, even though i now have a blister from wearing my shoes without nylons...but that's ok, it'll go away soon...i hope. it was so nice to just dance. i don't know what i'd do without dancing, seriously. and dancing standard and smooth makes me really happy. i really want to find a partner to dance semi-seriously with. i mean, i don't have the talent to be super serious about it, but i'd love to take private lessons specifically in standard and smooth and then compete. i don't have much time this quarter, so i'd probably be able to only put in 4 or so hours a week, but i doubt i'll find anyone this quickly. maybe for next year...then, i'll plan my other extra ciriculars so that i have more time for dancing. so yes, if anyone reading this know a guy who wants to get somewhat serious with smooth and standard and needs a partner, please, let me know.

Current Mood: hopeful

a little sadness

so i'm randomly lonely. i don't even know why. i think part of it was my sister visiting, and now i miss home a bit. i dunno. it's not like i really wanna live at home. i mean, every time i go back, i end up wanting to leave again. there's always too much fuss and problems when i come home. i don't know if my mom and i can spent a week together without fighting about something or other. it hasn't happened in recent memory. but still, i miss home. maybe it's just the feeling of home that i miss.

i wish i had someone i could cuddle up to whenever i felt lonely. that's why i like dancing so much...i can go up to a good portion of the people and just hug them...and they don't think it's weird at all. and no one questions my motives. and no one pats me condescendigly. i love the dancers. and i love my roomie, who has turned huggy recently. and i love lots of other people, but they're too many to list. i just wish some of them were here.

oh, this is funny. i'm listening to my mp3s, and it's on shuffle, so i get random songs. the last song was "the time of your life" by randy newman...from bug's life. the song that just came on is "time of your life" by green day...weird, huh? two in a row. hmmm...maybe it's trying to tell me something while i'm in this funk. synchronicity...gotta love those moments.
