stars aren't so special

i've never really understood people's fascination with stars and fireworks and other-worldly things. if someone paid lots of money to name a star for me i'd be so annoyed... "why didn't you just give me the money???" i mean, i appreciate the gesture but it's just so... ugh. i don't know a) cliché b) potentially expensive c) enormously abstract, far away, and intangible.

anyways, went to see fireworks yesterday on a boat. it was nice but dan got pretty seasick and i did a little. but then we went to sit on the front of the boat and it was okay. i still don't see what the big deal about fireworks is, though :\ it just... it's nice, but meh. (although i will admit the DISNEYLAND fireworks did impress me, somewhat. i wonder if they spike their lemonade to make everything seem more magical...)

i got all my first term picks! yay! (due in large part to my determination and perseverance in coming online twice a day every day to check ubc student service centre...)

emm... sorry i can't come tonight aarie, i really wanted to/planned to. but i am very back-logged with phys and have a test tomorrow.

i finish school next week!

i hate work. it's getting in the way of everything. i can't wait 'til i have enough money to quit. damn phone plan... i hate my phone. still getting used to it. such horrible interface.

oh yeah, which leads to me saying that i also can't go to the pride parade because i'm WORKING!!!!!!!! even though i was the one who brought it up. i wanted those free undies :( and the memories... like when lily and i threw money into their collection blanket/parachute type thing they were holding out and lily threw a quarter into someone's abs...

stupid work.

arggggh! i think that's all

ann: we should rejoice separately from everyone else as they don't fully understand our suffering with school during the summer...

lily: have fun, let me know how it is. i've always wanted to go for high tea at the empress! (though i don't think i can anymore because the little sandwiches they typically serve at high tea have weird meat slices in it). i'm surprised your mom's okay with it though..? ah well, good anyways.

joanne: i don't know what to say about careers... i don't really have a plan myself. just do what you think is best for yourself. you need to be selfish about that because you're the one who has to live with it.

aarie: sorry i'm missing out... i really do hate it. i would quit right now and everything would be so much better but the practical side is getting the better of me. i don't think i can go camping with britta and matt anymore :( !!! i was looking so much forward to that!!! and the pride parade!!! but i don't want to be using my school savings to pay for my phone bills :( let me know how it is. take pics for me!
