momentary crazy-bolding phase.

a very difficult task: finding your glasses after removing your contacts for the night. so much partially blind groping. [almost like our love lives. i mean groping in the reaching-out-in-the-dark way...i mean it in the trying-to-find-a-needle-in-a-haystack way! stop thinking dirty thoughts. ah, if only there were more of that other groping though...]

massive inwardly cringing moment: when your mom drives all the way to stanford, takes you to the fremont dmv, and in the parking lot, you find your "missing" driver's license. and then you have to tell your mother. [maybe i should just go in and get the replacement license and not tell her...no. bad christina.]

thoughtful nerdy belated birthday present: tor paperback first edition ender's game. so it looks exactly like the version i currently have except older and yellower...i'm geeky enough to like it :D thanks, david.

currently reliving: obsession with athenaeum that began in high school. yes, i claim i discovered them first. catchy first album "radiance" and more eclectic second album "athenaeum." am sad they will be breaking up. must see them on farewell tour this fall.

trying my best: as stanford kdphi's mu pledge class pledge mom. i'm on the very left and cathy, the uh...dad, is on the very right. my kids are awesome :)

highlight: amanda visiting my sorry ass. i love my sister.

"Waiting for You" -Athenaeum

i wanna hear
the words that you never speak
i wanna close my eyes
and wake to your lips upon my cheek
i wanna know
would you just walk away?
we've suffered enough this time
and these things will never go our way

hold on tight 'cause i don't wanna say goodbye
anymore than you do
and all i see is you just wanna make believe
and i don't have the words up my sleeve
i'm waiting for you

i wanna change
but these dreams will never die
i wanna hear you say
that nothing is stronger than you and i
i wanna know
would you just walk away?
we've suffered enough this time
these things will never go our way

hold on tight 'cause i don't wanna say goodbye
anymore than you do
and all i see is you just wanna make believe
and i don't have the words up my sleeve
i'm waiting for you

waiting for you...
