[di just needs to write] though summer is a great opportunity to relax, soak in the sun, and spend time with yourself, there is only so much relaxation, sun-soaking, and spending time with oneself a person can do. remember when you were in middle or high school and summer let out? were you not semi-devestated that you couldn't see your friends for... potentially 3 months? i know i was.. i mean as a 12-yr old, that's a big deal my friend! i guess it's still kind of the same in college... for me right now, my younger friends are at home, and my older friends are getting on with their yuppie working lives.. so, what is a girl to do? =) [get sucked into sex and the city's season 4 dvd, that's what]

on that note, i've been really caught up in things lately.. so much so that i think i'm starting to lose a sense of *me*. of who i am. the people around me help define me, and i haven't been able to get a healthy dose of that. and i haven't had a chance to really write (until now!) to assess my inner-di. as natalie says -- moving is the single most stressful thing a person could do. Time says it's the #1 most stressful thing too. go figure that i'm running around in circles, feeling unstable, and all shooken up. i know change is a good thing and always comes with a dash of pepper, but i've never had to deal with the kind of instability that i've been feeling. relationships come into question. self comes into question. the world comes into question. i just gotta roll with the punches i guess... but i nonetheless ask again: what is a girl to do? =)

i'm really excited about moving into my new place. this weekend -- it's all happening, yup yup yup. i gots me a couch. i gots me a dining table. and i gots me 20 odd boxes to fill it all up with. weeee-haaaaaaa! =) come visit me okie? me will bake you cookies..... =D

so i guess what i'm really trying to say is that i'm attempting to define this place i'm in. i know my life is going in a certain direction, but it sure is taking a real long time for me to move through it right now..

till then.

oh di's head hurts =(

[on a sports note] thank GOODNESS the giants finally beat those darn dodgers. woo giants!
