100 mph.

i like to think of my life as a map. my path is indicated by a skinny black line which twists and turns according to my moods and decisions. the people i have come into contact with create intersections on my map. their paths may be heading in a different direction, but we cross at some point, and not by chance. some people travel with me for a while, making their way across the map in the same general direction before veering off to follow their own course. others collide briefly, and quickly make an acute turn. sometimes the people who happen upon my path change the course of my route. i like it when i meet people who do this. it's easy to get lost. it's easy to wake up one morning and fail to realize how you got to this point. but we can't stop, and wait for the answers to appear in front of us. we just have to keep going in the hopes that we are traveling in the right direction.

don't you wonder where all of these people are going in their cars at 10:18 p.m. on a friday night? i do!

finals suck.

aw, i wish i went with you to take the picture!

and i hope i don't veer too far off the highway you're on! maybe we can be in different lanes of the highway, or the feeder... going in our own lane, but in the same direction and at different speeds, and of course, in a different car.

you are a pretty cool friend, and i'd like to keep you around!

Wow! Did you take that picture? It looks a teeny bit like it took place from atop the 59 bridges. And if I'm wrong, well then ignore this.

Hope that your finals went well! Only one more semester...
