2:18 a.m. and i'm still up. i promised myself i'd get on a proper sleeping schedule before classes start on the fourth, but so far no such luck. i started reading the da vinci code today so that i can keep up with the movie once it comes out. rearranged our dorm room, rae and i. finished knitting my scarf. it feels amazing to have completed something that i'm proud of. as far as classes, relationships, and just plain ole taking care of myself goes, i'm not proud of how i've done. i have no follow through, with anything. it's starting to hurt my relationships too. i've been too selfish in that i have this undying desire to have everyone's approval. this sometimes translates into everyone's adoration. i'm working on just being focused on proving things to myself and no one else, but it's proven to be more difficult to complete than to possess just a fleeting thought of. even though we never talk about it, and rae never says anything, i think she can tell that there's something unsettled in me. i think i know what the cause is, but i'm not ready to write it down yet. aside from all that, rae and i have an exciting weekend coming up. sort of like a prebirthday celebration. my birthday is on the 17th and hers is on the 22nd so we're going to spoil ourselves. the plan is to eat at the italian pie shoppe, pick up some funky yarn, grab a highlighting kit, pick out some cute jeans, gather sweet new make-up for rae, and then off to the movies (casanova with heath ledger). good luck to the two of us. we'll be happy if we don't get lost. i'll let you know how everything goes.
it was great seeing my girlfriends the other night. i'm flourishing off of their creativie energy still, two days after seeing them.
