san diego was awesome--well, the little bit of it i actually did see in about a day. yay for amanda =) thanks for doing your laundry so i could have a towel. thanks for letting me sleep in your squishy bed. thank you for not kicking me. =D i done tagged you up good. [yes, i know that's improper grammar, dorks. shut up.] HA #2!! hehe.

cher and chris chen took time out to hang out with little ol' me too. yay msj! ucsd is pretty. pacific beach was nice--like berkeley except people wear less clothing. buffalo exchange was cool. cher's place was nice. ernesto is freaky. you two are hilarious. =)

amanda's formals were so beautiful--and elaborate. geez. amanda looked beautiful and tau class dance was awesome. you girls worked so much on it, and it paid off! hanging out with amanda's gdi roomies was amusing--and they liked pretending they were from stanford too ;-) socal kdphi are cool.

all in all, i wish i could have stayed longer--but alum luncheon and our own presents today! our alumnae are so inspiring--good times. bao's slideshow was incredible...i watched it again when i got back. hehe. got the chills when "one" started playing. then we presented our lovely lambda pledge class--i have great hopes for you all. my littles are so cute =) i know p-ro and my lil willow will guide them well.

i am too tired to think now. no sleep last night since my flight was at 6:13 am this morning. thanks so much to alan for driving an almost-complete-stranger to the airport at freaking 5 am. ah, utilizing amanda's connections. miss you, meimei.

"One" -U2

is it getting better
or do you feel the same?
will it make it easier on you now
you got someone to blame?
you say...

One love
One life
when it's one need
in the night
One love
we get to share it
leaves you, baby, if you
don't care for it

did i disappoint you
or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
you act like you never had love
and you want me to go without
well it's...

too late
tonight
to drag the past out into the light
we're one, but we're not the same
we get to
carry each other
carry each other
One...

have you come here for forgiveness?
have you come to raise the dead?
have you come here to play jesus
to the lepers in your head?

did i ask too much
more than a lot?
you gave me nothing
now it's all i got
we're one
but we're not the same
well we
hurt each other
then we do it again
you say
love is a temple
love a higher law
love is a temple
love the higher law
you ask me to enter
but then you make me crawl
and i can't be holding on
to what you got
when all you got is hurt

One love
One blood
One life
you got to do what you should
One life
with each other
sisters
brothers
One life
but we're not the same
we get to
carry each other
carry each other

One...
