regained my equilibrium for now. *sigh of relief* i actually feel normal again. =) i'm still bummed i didn't make it to berkeley to see my buddies or to the big birthday dinner for tim, david, mike, and andy though. the planning for the latter was just too last-minute! =P i wish them all a big, fat HAPPY BIRTHDAY ;-)

i did get to walk in the chinese new year's parade in san francisco tonight though...and how often does that happen? very cool. although they really shouldn't have put the paphi's behind us and the lambdas...bad idea. and being behind some horses was rather nasty...had to watch out for horse crap. ew. oh, later when we were walking to the restaurant, some guy i didn't know held my hand...i thought it was nina! which would be rather weird in itself cuz as a group we're normally into the arm-linking thing, but then i realized nina's hand is not that big. haha...'sokay though. no harm done. i have to admit that was a pretty creative thing to do. "you just looked like you needed someone to hold your hand." er...right.

now to do my problem set if i want to eat lunch with my relatives tomorrow. bye and yay for feeling normal again! =)

i fight with love
i laugh with rage
you gotta live light enough to see the humour
and long enough to see some change
