ok... this one might be kinda repetitive... but i'm taking it straight from the xanga...
it was like the scene from love actually w/ "that's what friends are for" in the background... i'm so lucky to have buds like you! so considerate and sweet and thoughtful and emotionally-aware (sometimes) and cute (yeah... we always give you guys a hard time about that... complaining and such... comparing and what have you... but ya'll are cute! we don't really give you credit for that). hahaha, why are ya'll still single? 
chris, mark, and vaughn had me waiting for this surprise for like 4 days!!!! hahaha... i knew something was up, but they woul'dn't budge... I'M SO GLAD THEY DIDN'T!!! and i'm glad they could accomodate my weirdo schedule.
anyways... here are the visuals! good one, guys. soooo good....
held by vaughn...
for camille...
for diana...
for richelle...
for frances...
for chandra...
for francesca...
for ME!
and the last one... "now, will you please tell us what "good football" is?"
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!! needless to say, i cried. way to be ready for the waterworks, chris. ah, kleenex.
so, on account of this, SAD is now... single's appreciation day. cuz, damn, i hella appreciate my single friends now! jk... i mean, for so long i was hung up on the notions of having a MAN, a boyfriend, someone to fill a void, someone to.. well, you know the rest. but now, it's alllllllll good! enjoying the single life like a college student should! (ew, not like that... dirty.) but just kickin it with my friends. having huge dinners. having jam sessions. having a grand 'ol time just being in eachother's company...
this has been a great start to 2004. so different from 2003 in so many ways... yay! i'm so happy right now. i'm so excited like jessie spano! hahahaha... loved Saved By The Bell. ok... getting off topic.
but yeah... still can't get over how good the 1st year boys are to us. quite awesome. exemplary even. *snaps* 
...how are ya'll gonna top this next year?!? hehe!
waiting in girly anticipation... yours always,
Rita

so much better than last year's mess.... *sigh* it's good to know where you're at. and it's good to know that you've got people there for you. that might be my extreme happiness coming through from tonight's "operation: sunday brunch" but even if that's the case, i am sooooooooo incredibly lucky to have all my 1st years. yay! GOOD FOOTBALL!!!! ....definitely a good start to the off-season!
surprises... full dinners... rolling deep... jamming in the stern main lounge... singing... laughing... stunting... playing... just chillin... 'twas a night to remember!

dearest blog,
it's been a year now. 365 days of blog memories. how appropriate that our new year's eve should be on valentine's day. it's the end of an era. and the end of a love-filled year.
so many good times we've shared. so many not-so-good times, too. publicly and privately, you know me through and through. you know me best. better than my closest friends.
interesting how some of my other friends have even built an affinity for you. they visit you daily. maybe even twice a day! how nice... they see you more than they see me. i'm kinda jealous...
acquaintances may come and go, but you are constant. (unless the whole internet were to crash) thank you for not dumping me, or ditching me, or backstabbing me, or forgetting me. you've never turned away from me. when i need you, you're right here. i can always depend on that. i thank you more now than ever.
and so dear blog, here's to another year that'll surely be full of ups and downs... i'm glad you're along for the ride.
love you,
rita |

today in class i got that flighty feeling in my heart/chest/all up in that area. you know... the one where your heart kinda skips a beat and it feels like it has jumped up into your throat and your get this sudden tingley sensation all over... but a cool, warm, fuzzy tingle.
shake it off, rita. shake it off...
what's wrong with me?
could it be... ?
*thinking*
no, it can't be. |

i ran into ian @ the GBC today before linguistics class. he asked if i was the one who asked all those random questions of the day last sem.. yup. that's me! isn't it wonderful how i utilized my free time last semester? getting to know my fellow berkeleyans...
now, i have no more nighttime free time. that makes me sad. that's when i do my best thinking... so let me try to squeeze in some deep reflective thinking in the afternoon after class and before dinner and the meetings and the dance practices start, eh?
1. What's the most daring thing you've ever done?
might sound cheesy, but... i truly, madly, deeply followed my heart. hey... getting into a relationship for the first time is pretty darn risky! putting your heart on the line, like that... what a rush!
2. What one thing would you like to try that your mother/friend/significant other would never approve of?
hmmmm right now...
my mother: go backpacking through europe w/ my dearest friends, get wasted, get a tattoo (i mean, body art... it sounds much nicer that way), or hahahahaha... DATE! hahahahaha...
my friend: not sure about that one... lemme know what you wouldn't approve of guys...
significant other: n/a
3. On a scale of 1-10, what's your risk factor? (1=never take risks, 10=it's a lifestyle)
6
4. What's the best thing that's ever happened to you as a result of being bold/risky?
i got to learn about myself in the process. you figure out how far you can take things.. how well you can manage.. the extent of your coping.. you test your limits and you thrive! what's better than reaching newer and higher heights.
5. ... and what's the worst?
taking it too far, and then falling... and it's a long way down, my friend, with little or no cushion for the fall... it's hurts you to your core.

Im sayin
He don't even know what he's doin to me
got me feelin all crazy inside
Im feelin like... OH!
Im doin nothn I've ever done
for anyones attention
take notice of whats infront of you
cause did i mention? (OH!)
you about to miss a good thing
and you'll never know how good it feels to have
all of my affection
and you'll never get a chance to experience
my lovin (OH!)
'Cause my lovin feels like...
OooOooooOOo...
U don't know my name
round and round and round we go (and I swear)
Will you ever know? (it feels like)
OooOooooOOo...
U don't know my name
round and round and round we go
Will you ever know?
Will you ever know it? No, no, no, no, no
Will you ever know it?
tell me you've never felt that... see, you can't! it's because we've all been there at one point or another. a secret longing for another person. a person you know quite well maybe. a person that doesn't even realize what's right there in front of them even. *sigh* what a pain! but what a great pain it is...
mmm... countdown to valentine's day: 6 days...
isn't love grand?
what i wouldn't give to be "in love" again... but somehow, i'll manage. looks like it'll be another single's awareness day for me.
so correction >> countdown to single's awareness day: 6 days...

from steph's xanga...
Don't walk too close, don't breathe so soft
Don't talk so sweet, don't sing
Don't lay oh so near
Please, don't let me fall in love with you again
Please let me forget all those sweet smiles
All of the passion, all of the peace, the heat, the pain
All those blue skies where your words were my freedom
Please, don't let me fall in love with you again
Too many times I've cared too much
I stood on the edge and saw that you held my hand
And knowing too well I couldn't hide from those eyes
Please, don't let me fall in love with you again
Don't let me fall in love with you again
- "Don't"- Jewel
let me explain...
had a weird dream last night. it consisted of my berkeley buds and my high school chums. we were all chillin on the chs lawn and then we were kickin it in stern. ok, maybe i don't want to get into all of it, but i'm seeing things reoccuring in my dreams in both settings (maybe it's just that time of year again or time of the month... whatever)
my dreams are kinda... "prophetic"-ish... this isn't heresy or anything, but they have an odd way of becoming realities... or at least parts of them do. i'm not sure what to think or what to believe, if anything at all.
maybe i'll try not to think about it anymore...
:: doot :: do :: do ::
so...
how bout those UC bugdet cuts? man! that's something to get angry over... the governator is in the process of terminating the kick-butt UC system we've got going on over here! BERKELEY pride.. woo!! woo!!
why is it that education keeps getting the shaft? why is it that they always forget about us youngins?? ya know... we're the people who are gonna keep this nation going once ya'll adults step down... hmmmm... what kind of future are you envisioning, dear leaders? oh right... you're not! you're not planning for the future! you think you are... but you really have no idea... what you're really doing is trying to solve the "now" issues... but in doing so, you're taking so much away from things that need to be constant or things that need to grow and need help! you're making our low-ranked state-wide education system even worse... it might not seem that bad if you look at it in the immediate future... but i mean, once you start taking away from it, what's gonna stop you from doing it again? huh? it's a slippery slope, people... so don't take that first step... cuz it's gonna be a long way down... and it's gonna hurt. a lot... it's gonna hurt more people than you realize!
governator made a bad move w/ the cuts in education...
::shakes head in disappointment::
...but there's still time. the budget hasn't been passed. contact your legislators... let them know what you think. be "empowered"... it's the only way to go. |
|

|

man. i'm feelin' damn sexy right now.
i'm not exactly sure why i've decided to place that statement in here... but hey, it's my blog and i can do what i want with it. hehe!! *smooches*

The Sonnet
Deliberate Gentle Love Dreamer (DGLDf)
Romantic, hopeful, and composed. You are the Sonnet. Get it? Composed?
Sonnets want Love and have high ideals about it. They're conscientious people, caring & careful. You yourself have deep convictions, and you devote a lot of thought to romance and what it should be. This will frighten away most potential mates, but that's okay, because you're very choosy with your affections anyway. You'd absolutely refuse to date someone dumber than you, for instance.
Lovers who share your idealized perspective, or who are at least willing to totally throw themselves into a relationship, will be very, very happy with you. And you with them. You're already selfless and compassionate, and with the right partner, there's no doubt you can be sensual, even adventurously so.
You probably have lots of female friends, and they have a special soft spot for you. Babies do, too, at the tippy-top of their baby skulls.
ALWAYS AVOID: The 5-Night Stand, The False Messiah, The Hornivore, The Last Man on Earth
CONSIDER: The Loverboy | | |
