so i realized as i interacted with a new friend of mine that i was trying really hard not to offend her. then i realized that the result of that was me expending a large amount of energy trying to be her friend. and then i remembered that that sucked, and so i quit. and now somehow i am endeared? i don't get it...
chana is coming to visit next week. there is a conference here and i nabbed some sick cheap tickets to get her to come. it should rock and i cannot wait. of course we haven't seen each other in something like 5 years. and that ended disasterously. hopefully this one will go much better.
my machine is about 1/2 fixed and i was thinking about working on it and my webpage this weekend, but instead it looks like it is going to be a working weekend. docs abound that need to be completed and so there we are mini-crunchin'. and of course i still have been lazy and not gone out to get my goggles.
