i just have to say, a grandmother's logic is amazing.
my grandparents called me today,
Biba & Bibo my cuban grandparents.
They sang happy birthday to me, then Biba (my grandmother)
proceeds to tell me how wonderful i am.
she also explains that today is the pope's birthday and he is famous,
but i am even better than the pope because i am related to them (my grandparents)
and the pope isn't.
....
then, she tells me that 19 is almost 20, and that's good
because once i'm not a teenager i won't have any more problems.
-----
i love my grandparents! :D
-----
aside from that, my birthday has been rather unventful, but good.
Jordan made me probably some of the best cake i've ever had (not even kidding)
and they sang happy birthday (though somewhat lackluster) when i walked into class, it was cute. hehe
i got lunch free at bogies, but that's cause i did the caricature for them, not cause it was my birthday.
but still....free lunch...awesome. :D
i went to the library for a while, got some more books on mackinac! yay.
good day. very good day. :)
it's going to be a good year.
18 was officially a complete year of firsts. None of which I regret.
I learned a lot and have grown exponentially as a person. Things can only move upwards from here >_<

Endeavors of a...
I don't really know....
I've been neglecting this poor blog, It's not that nothing is happening
It's just that I haven't really been motivated...to do...anything, these last few weeks.
I've got several final projects for school, and those are....eh...kinda started...sort of...
most of them are due within 2 weeks time too!
I really just need to get my act together, finish school
then I can focus on Mackinac!
I was out biking today, and oh man did i wish i was back on the island more than ever!
there was a storm blowing in, so there was a cool breeze, like there often ison the island
it was getting dark
i was biking around with my friend catching up on life
*sigh*
i can't wait to be on the island
the warm weather just makes it worse
reminds me SO much of the island
ack...May can't come soon enough!
oy
anyhoo...back to reality....ugh
that's how i feel about everything
ugh
school
ugh
work
ugh
just....
ugh.
haha.
I'm getting my new car in a few days
a '96 Nissan Sentra. i'm pretty excited, it's a nice lil car.

all that's left are jelly beans and weird chocolate eggs...
you know those days...
...when it seems like something isn't right.
there's a thick ominous....thing...in the air...that smothers everything.
your imagination paints monsters around every corner
and plays horrific scenes over...and over...and over again...
It's those days...
when you can't help but look over your should...
...turn on all the lights...
...even though it's the middle of the day....
...
the nights preceding those days...
...are often fitful
your sleep is riddled with strange surreal dreams...
...that seem to carry over into the real world...
so when you wake up you feel...
...disoriented...unsure of what's real and what is a dream...
It's hard to go through those days
pretending like they're ordinary days
they're not.
the heaviness in the air reaks of some dramatic event ready to unfold.
you can hear it on the wind
in the whistle of a train that never comes
everything is unsettled.
the nights that follow those days are strange too...
time does not pass steadily
sometimes it flys
sometimes it crawls
and sometimes it stops completly and we are all suspended.
sleep is hard to find again.
monsters take up residence in every possible nook and cranny
despite the lights you left on
everytime you close your eyes
those horrific scenes...more horrible than before...
scream across your mind.
those days are strange and unsettling...
perhaps it's because of the storm.

really...
so...i ended it...
it just wasn't fair to either of us really
it was fun while it lasted
i don't regret anything
and i think we'll still be friends
really at this point in my life i'm a much better single person
and quite content spending time with myself :P
i also withdrew from my ridiculous math class...
there's really no reason to rant about it now...so..i won't.
I have a brilliant piece of literature in the works
"The Craftie Field Guide"
all the perks and quirks of being a craftie
all the things they don't teach you in orientation
and a variety of other stories and interesting tidbits
i think it'll be at least mildly entertaining..at least for those who have experienced the craftie life.
needless to say i am VERY excited about going back to Mackinac.
10 weeks!!!! which is still FAR to long, but then i still have a lot to do, as has been previously mentioned.
i've got lots to keep me busy i guess...
i've been playing Harvest Moon: Magical Melody
it's very addicting....heheh...personally i'm a fan of virtual farming...
Rosemary and Olive Oil Triscuits...also addicting...man...those things are TASTY...
-----
this guy just walked by on the street who looks like Adrian Monk...'cept he didn't look like...OCD...really...
-----
I'll be turning 19 soon...it's kind of a boring birthday...19...nothing exciting really happens...not i mean...you're still technically a teenager, though legally an adult, but you've already legally been an adult for a year, you still aren't old enough to drink, not for another 2 years...etc etc etc...
i want a video camera for my birthday this year....
i'm meeting my band guy in a little bit here, i designed a drum-head for him...this project has seriously gone on for like...6 months...it's ridiculous. But it's been a good learning experience i think.
-----
well...i think that'll be all....
here's to single life and Independence, i remain the eccentric i will always be....

Should We Call a Rose by Any Other Name?
probably not...i don't think anyone would know what we were talking about....
i'm still a bit worried about hurting him...
i may just be stringing him along...
though...i'm not really sure that it matters
i just...i don't know that i can see myself being honest while i'm away
or totally faithful...
hmm...i guess we'll just cross that bridge when we come to it...
I'm really getting quite excited for the summer now...like...really...
we're almost within two months time....there's still so much i have to do before i go
lists to make
things to buy
art to print
crap to pack
bike to ride
reading! lots and lots and lots of reading to do!!! oh man..so much reading...
i did not read anywhere near as much as i wanted over the winter....
my time was rather devoted to an affair with my computer...haha...
really...me and mortimer...and now elliot...practically inseperable.
Mortimer will be coming with me this summer....not sure about Elliot, he's a pretty pricey little piece of goodness with valuable information that i personally would cry for days were it lost...
like really...days....
so really...
besides school, which will be over in about 6 weeks, most of my thought power is devoted to Mackinac and the Like...
it's gonna be a good life...
