| bruises will heal, scars will fade away, but some things are forever. some things will never be the same again. change is inevitable, but that is what conceives the enigma we call life.
i'm sorry. goodbye. i don't know which words are harder to hear. i don't know if i'll ever be able to truly mean either. i don't know the answers to any of your questions. i don't know why certain things need to, are determined to, and will happen.
i just know that i love you. despite the contradiction, i love you.
maybe one day we'll both find forgiveness.

| and for once, i don't know what to give up. usually i do something rather meaningless, like giving up starbucks, which is a money burden anyway so i had already been avoiding it. but this year, i'm gonna get a little bit more creative. i'm taking a Jewish History class, and as expected, one of the required books is a Bible. not the Hebrew Bible, surprisingly, an Oxford Study Bible. technically, i guess it's a Protestant Bible, but in any case, there's no more assigned readings for my Jewish History class from the Bible. that makes me a bit sad, in part because i paid so much for it, but now, i have a legit, "complete" (in quotes because it's not a Catholic one, so the books are out of order) Bible. so for Lent, i am going to read one book of the New Testament each day. i'm going to give myself some leeway with this, as Lent is 40 days long and there are only 27 books. so the longer ones may take two days, but i will invest at least 10-15 minutes each day reading. if i finish before Lent is over, i'll go to the Apocrypha or the Old Testament, but i chose the New Testament because it's the most relevant to the season.
maybe for once this will be a worthwhile sacrifice. i really think the two hardest things to sacrifice are money and time, especially being a full-time college student. but i guess that's what Lent's about.

| seriously, he says the greatest things in class (jewish history, by the way). if overheard everywhere (google it) would let me upload a video, i'd record a lecture and post it. but this is a cool thing he said last class. it's probably been said before, but it's still true.
arrogance is just immature confidence

| so i got back to LA yesterday and kept complaining about being here even though i know i really like being here, i just miss my parents. gerald picked me up from the airport and took my back to my apartment so i could unpack, then we took off to eat and buy groceries. when we drove back we passed the shrine (http://www.shrinela.com/) and it looked like some event was going on. usually it's nothing that impressive, so i didn't care. but then i woke up this morning and saw entertainment news about the people's choice awards last night, which was held at ... the shrine! nooooo! and to make it worse, hugh laurie was there! noooooooooo!!! how could i miss him?! that's what i get for complaining about LA. los angeles, i'm sorry. please forgive me. | | |
