who I am...

I want to be a great teacher of primary school children. I am on my way but still far. I want my friends to know that they are loved and that they are special. I hope I am on my way but know I am still far. I want to be loved and know that I am special.

My mind runs around uncontrollably and I rave a whole lot about politics and philosophy and the Church. I am wrestling with truth and love and social justice and my role in all three.

I want to pursue a writing career but I am not sure if it is because I just like the idea of my name on a book or if I actually am a writer.

People not profit says:

conlict of interest? not really. maybe you should start an organization called Profits not people. we'll be PNP I and you can be PNP II. we'd be like sister organizations, but antithetically. in the end, we'd cancel each other out and it'd be like neither one of us ever existed....maybe that is a conflict of interest.

Watching Scrubs at Mez's sounds nice. I used to watch Boosh with Ely May. I have the 2nd season on DVD, but i don't want to watch it without her. Weird huh? Sorry about your assignment. Stop feeling sad about it and just start working on it man. Better now then at 1am the day it is due. You can spend time on here at 1am the day it is due if you really want to. Or you could go to sleep. If you get your assignment done, at least you will have that option. I'm sorry. I am just rambling now. I guess it is a cry for attention.

That's because you are white. White people never have arses. (I have NO plans for tonight. It's hard when you don't have a GF anymore. I have to get used to organising stuff again. What are you up to?)

i wish that were so. i have four broad topics: tecnology, the doctor's office, parties, and my daily routine and my prof is going to choose one and i have to speak about it for 5 mins in Spanish. I'm kinda nervous :x i've also got a humanities test, but i'm not really worried about it because i've done well on all of the others. I'm drinking a mt.dew energy drink right now & i think it's actually doing it's job.

very cool. i want to respond with something intelligent or whatever, but i am seriously out of it. i only got 2.5 hours of sleep last night at "Displace Me" (www.invisiblechildren.com/displaceme - if you haven't heard about it) and i just took a 3-hour nap, but i'm still extremely tired and i need to study cos I have exams tomorrow. I'm gonna go pray for strength now, i hope you're having a lovely day or night., whichever it is. :)
