i'm going (going) back (back) to cali (cali)...
so apparently there's a car show in san mateo this saturday. so since my little sister is into her "car model" phase, she's going to be there... as will her oldest sister (yes, that would be me, but i'm not in that "car model" phase... just in the "older sister who will kick your butt if you get too close to her" phase.... sometimes it's just hard to grow out of i guess). we're leaving on thursday night to drive down... i think i have the proper directions: from my house, drive west 3 blocks to oak street, then head south for about 20 hours, then we're there! i guess if anyone i know in california is around that area on saturday til tuesday, email me before i leave... i'd love to see you there!

when i grow up...
i want to be a double agent. or something to that effect. i don't have a particularly quick wit, nor am i exceptionally creative when i'm put on the spot, but i'd really like to pretend that i'm doing the right thing and think that i'm pleasing everyone... and maybe earning some money off of my "good deeds."
see, ideally i'd like for everyone to get whatever they wanted. but we all know that that's not possible. for every one thing that someone wants, there are like a dozen more who won't get what they want... it's sad but true. so the only way that everyone could be happy is if everyone believed that they were getting what they wanted. but i guess that might not work too well if i trusted someone by telling them my secret, and that in turn makes them completely distrust me and never think i'm sincere... then nobody would ever trust/believe me. darn, i knew there was a downside. maybe i should just go into politics or something...
