um.

so....the highlights of my life as of today. (warning: it's really boring...hahaha)

• i start school in a week - my second year.
• i bought a watch (that i really like!) at walmart for $10
• john's sister, susanna, got me a really pretty necklace from korea
• i'm having a lot of um...lets see...personal problems. haha...uh  yeah. the flames are being fanned. most having to do with family...(the usual) but it never ceases to amaze me how much it affects my daily life...
• my insecurities are at an all-time high (as a result of going to a 2-week long conference in which i didn't know many people and attending a church where i don't feel like i fit in)
• my school gave me a powerbook g4 titanium laptop and a projector to use in class. i'm in heaven
• my 5th grade science teacher, Mr. Killian, and my 10th grade science teacher, Mr. Ziolkowski, were instructors at my 2-week science thing - they remembered me!!!! it was insane.
• i look at the earth with new eyes - the eyes of an EARTH scientist! all i see is erosion, sedimentation, minerals, weathering...etc. i have a collection of rocks and sands from all over. who knew sand could be so beautiful?
• john is leaving for guatemala in 2 days. he's been gone pretty much this entire month (he's been to catalina, malibu, a retreat, and will be heading to guatemala). i realize that i can live without him - i can be independent. but i also realize that john makes my life happier. its weird how much i LOVE talking to him! i love our conversations...the bantering...the discussing...i love that he's intelligent and that we can talk and discuss so many different things! its weird how appreciating and loving a person can make you so happy... i need to stop...i could go on forever...
• i watched amelie and i really did like the cinematography! the colors were absolutely beautiful. before watching it...i kept wondering, how can the cinematography be THAT good...but it was! 
• i watched sex and the city - the first season and i can see why it got all those emmy nominations! it was really interesting - but warning - it IS rated R...it made me think about how the rest of the world may potentially be living. i think it was fascinating because i don't know anyone who lives, or who would WANT to live, like that.
• officially - i have road rage. i'll be honest...in the past like 10 years i haven't cussed. but in the past 2 weeks, words have slipped out of my mouth a few times while on the road...a whole slew of them...along with a few hand gestures. the first time it happened i was so shocked that i called john immediately. i think a lot of it has to do with the fact that i was hanging around a bunch of people from the conference who cussed all the time. and i really mean all all all the time. (isn't it funny how all the people were science teachers?) i'm being honest about it because i figure - hey! why keep it a secret?
• i got a bad bad bad speeding ticket. i don't want to talk about it though. so don't ask about it. just know it's really bad. don't ask. it literally kills me to think about it.
• you may REALLY not want to know this... but i set up an appointment with a gynecologist. did you know that you're supposed to go when you turn 18? i'm FOUR years late. being 22, michelle min is the ONLY female that i know out of ALLLLL my friends/acquaintances that has not yet gone to the gynecologist (so if you know michelle, tell her to go too). everyone's been on my case about it. it finally got to the point where my fear of going was less than the pressure of all my friends telling me to go. so i made the appointment. it's on september 17, 2002 at 2:50 pm. one of my friends had an abnormal result (but things are okay now) but that pretty much scared me into making the appointment. wish me luck!
• i have a small lump on the right side of my neck - my hypothesis: it is a swollen lymph node/gland or something. it changes size, it sometimes even itches, but it's internal. it kinda gets sore when its bigger...but its never THAT big. any ideas? email me: [email protected]
• i drink a blueberry milkshake (made of lowfat vanilla ice cream, milk, freshly frozen blueberries, and the secret ingredient that makes it really good - a yo-gu-rut (the korean kind) everyday and it makes me go to the bathroom everyday :) it's really good.
• i'm tanned.
• i have 3 new moles on my face
• i'm getting my new teeth (my 2 crowns) on saturday
• if you're still reading up to this point you're either A) bored and have nothing better to do,   B) a really really good friend of mine who just wants to make sure that you know everything that's going on in my life,   C) really nice,   or    D) i don't know...but hi! and thanks :)
