I was happy on Valentines' day.


I went to school, wasn't with anyone special, and didn't even go out with friends. After school I sat at home, took a shower, and watched "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" with my family. It was the little things that made yesterday nice.

Elizabeth, one of the nicest people in the world, gave me a little bunch of valentine chocolates.
Cassandra came to school barely alive and still managed to be funny and energetic.
Gurjala was interesting and I actually enjoyed his stories.
Fatima was happy about her packing expertise, and it was contagious.
I did well, without outside help, on the AP Gov't test.
We read a love poem that I rather liked. I thought it was sweet, tho risqué.
I wasn't alone in enjoying the poem.
I had a change of scenery for lunch and felt comfortable with some people I've never felt comfortable with.
I got to watch how people talk to Mr Wolfmeyer
We had no teacher in 5th.
I told the girl passing out the "chronicle" that we had 60 students without snickering.
She went instantly pale at the thought of counting that.
We actually had about 7 people.
When our word game got too loud, we played volleyball.
Stephanie Yanez brought my mother avocadoes.
Ben layed down on a table and I sat on the floor.
When I wasn't jumping desktop to desktop.
We read poetry from the Literature book for fun.
The sub came during 6th, and he let us play a cool card game called "mafia" or "Murder" or something
When Mr Nichols came into the class we all started gibbering in french.
We resumed game as soon as he left and the sub laughed.
I saw Natalie in her big fat new car at the post office.
I took a shower and my hair came out nicely.
My sisters' funny egyptian friend came over and saw me with a towel on my head.
I had warm sweatpants and my yearbook shirt on.
Andrew(egypt-boy) actually goes home before 11 o'clock.
The movie was good.
The movie was very true to life.

Even though I have no one, I have the thoughts of someone and I had a good day. Valentines' day is, as my mother says, underdeveloped. Christmas doesn't end as soon as the presents are given and friends are apart of it too. Why should valentines day fade out after all the candy is gone? And why isn't it a day for friends as well?

I love the way you know so much more than I do. I love the way you don't make me feel stupid. I love the way I can find holes in your pants and bad grades on your tests and sometimes I'm right even though you're perfect. I love the way I still find out things about you after knowing you for years. I love the way that sometimes you don't make sense and yet it doesn't matter. I love the way I can stop talking to you for the longest time, almost forgeting that you are there and yet it's only a hiatus in conversation and we always start again. I love the way it doesn't matter if I talk. I love the way that you feel uncomfortable, and the way that you get jealous. I love the way you know thingsabout politics. I love the way I love the movies you love. I love the way you love movies I hate. I love the way we hate movies together. I love the way you care about your clothes, and the way you don't always feel like trying. I love the way you pay attention to church. I love the way you love your friends. I love the way you're one of mine.

I'm glad that only one other person knows who you are, Robbin. I love the way that Helene almost knows about you at church and yet she doesn't really understand...

I will take this day to pretend that I am not afraid to say "I love you."

I will also take this day to wonder if you will ever find out who.

"The weather outside is frightful...." and yet I find it soooo delightful. The lightning was flashing right over my shoulder as I ate dinner and we heard the thunder as it rolled and pounded throught the streets and in through my kitchen window. When I turn off all the light in my front room I can watch the rain flooding my street and yard as I sit on my couch.
It looks bleak and cold and fast and wet. I was going to run around outside and stand on the middle of my street to feel the growing torrent gush around my ankles. Well I was fine with going out-of-doors without shoes, but I couldn't find an umbrella and being out there without an umbrella and shoeless as well was a bit too much. well, maybe I'll go out anyway. I love being barefoot. I think I'll go watch the Rio de Tannencrest.

The twenty-fifth of September, two thousand and three. In Missouri. Then Fifty-three weeks in Monterey.

Should I? Maybe. I'm more than halfway there.

I just saw "Bourne Identity". I can't honestly say it was a good movie, but it had some Very good points to it. Mostly it just made me want to go to Paris. I mean really. I've never been particularly drawn to Paris (desole Ben) but when I see movies like that, it really makes me want to go. The end was in Greece. I always want to go to Greece. The mediteranian always looks so fresh and cool and clean. But no matter. I'll see it some day. Ciaociao.
