Guess who's back?

:D C'EST MOI!

Okay...first of all, apologies...

I promise this will be long...or at least as long as I can make it. :D

Not much has happened...I have a bit of summer reading to do, so I'm getting that done. I finished Frankenstein a while back. I read it expecting to be scared out of my wits, but I wasn't...so I was disappointed a bit. I think I'll have to read it again so I can really read it without expecting so much from it. I need to delve into the prose and symbolism of it...bleh.

But as of now I'm about halfway through One Hundred Years of Solitude, and despite its lack of a distinct plotline and infinite accounts of incest, I'm thoroughly enjoying it. It's very deep, and once I looked into the history behind the book, it's even more fascinating.

I have a question for you all; do you believe that humans possess a sixth sense? In the book, Ursula, the mother and leading conservative figure of the town in which her family resides, has an uncanny ability to sense certain moments when some of her children are in peril. When I ask you this question, I don't mean anything that specifically; what I mean is do you believe that humans have an actual ability to tell when someone is staring at them, or perhaps, if something bad happened to someone who is close to them?

I have to finish this book; then I have to read Catch-22. I hear lots of differing opinions about it; if any of you have read it, please give me your own opinions!

Wendy: How on earth DID you access this site from China? O_o And, by chance, if you get to access it more while you're there, tell us how it's going! I hope you're having lots of fun and discovering more about yourself. :]]

Rosanna: How's the new theatre company? I'm very excited for you!! What shows are you planning to be in? And how's life, really?

Tracybabe: Where ARE you?? :[

My friend and I are in the process of writing a play. It's about nothing at all. :] It's practically a show in one act; it's composed of approximately 15 short monologues through which teenagers complain about various random things. It sounds really dumb right now...but it's fairly hilarious. :] We're about 3/4 done and we're very proud of it.

In about a week I'm leaving for Stanford; compared to my 6 hour plane flight last year it's a very very short trip of 1 hour by car. But compared to last year's 10 days, it's a daunting 3 weeks. I hope I can last.

Which reminds me...

It's a full year to the day we met. I miss all of you very much...I'll be very lucky if the people I meet at Stanford are anything like you, and the bond that I will come to share with them; anything like what we share to this day. I'm also praying that I get a good roommate...Wendy, I don't think I'll ever miss you more than I will in the next few weeks to come.

Volleyball is starting for me very soon. I have to shave down my mile time to less than 8 minutes in less than a month...currently it's at a little less than 10 minutes =.= I have a long long way to go. I suppose this means I'll have to exercise while I'm at Stanford. SIGHHHHH.

I hope you are all having a wonderful and safe summer. I will blog more! :]

I love you lots.
