TM and I did a lot of different activities for the 4th of July. We started out at 5WITS Tomb attraction- they take a group of people into a fake Egyptian tomb and you have to solve puzzles to get out. It was like a live action video game. Cute and fun. Then lunch. Then we walked about half of the Freedom Trail, watched various street performers, saw Transformers (a Michael Bay film that doesn't completely disappoint- it must be the end of the world- but not Armageddon; that was a Bay film that did disappoint), then dinner with a stranger in China Town, then the nation's biggest 4th of July pyrotechnic display. Pretty long day... very varied... very hurried. I even ran into someone I went to high school with. Imagine that- running into a classmate from northern Vermont on the streets of Boston. It's like when I ran into those guys in Costa Rica from the same town I was living in at the time. Life. Crazy.

I should be sleeping. I've been having trouble lately. I'm hooked up on pain killers right now- I shouldn't be typing. I should be sleeping. Did I mention I should be in bed? I should...

I haven't been doing much in terms of writing in this diary but I have been diversifying its functions and my overall web presence. I joined Orkut, Virb, Dodgeball, and finally Facebook where I found this really sweet Korean girl I went to high school with. I had done searches on MySpace and Friendster before trying to find her with no luck. I haven't spoken to her for 5 years now. I secretly had a crush on her- I didn't have the self esteem nor courage to do anything about it and I was extremely afraid to commit to anyone that would be leaving for college after graduation. Everyone went worlds away after high school. I was still dealing with the scar of losing everyone I cared about when my family moved to New Hampshire from Florida- especially Amy who as I've written was my long time childhood "crush" and first feeling of real "loss". Anyhow, I hope I hear back from her as we were good friends and she was one of the few genuinely kind people I've met in my life. I bet she got a degree, a husband, and is buying a house and all that great stuff. I'm renting a room, swearing off dating, and figuring out what I should go to school for. I think I was further ahead 3 years ago. Oh well, none of it matters right now- I really should be sleeping.
