summer is definitely here.
I love summer nights with a passion.
After a long hot sweaty day with sunglasses and the wrong clothes on, a t-shirt and shorts with the cool breeze cooling your skin and twilight cooling your eyes.....perfecto.
I feel like this summer is going to be wonderful, as in the best summer of my life so far.
I'm not going to lie..I'm very excited.
**Today the president of IlJin( my business English client) took me and my roomie out for dinner at a Tuscan Italian ristorante. Probably the nicest and most expensive meal I will ever eat. 5 courses. Scallops to fine wine to lamb to tiramisu. If you are the kind of person who dreams of food, it was what dreams are made of.
I find it very hard to really appreciate food, and I think it might be because i burned off my taste buds by the age of 10 with my boiling-hot tea obsession. But whatever the reason, I'm really not that into food. I like veggies..and sweets...and that's about it really.
But this meal, ahh....perfection.
**Do you ever get that feeling that you are encouraging someone you love down a path that you know, from experience, won't end well, simply because you're too chicken to tell them how you really feel? Sometimes I find myself affirming and congratulating them on things that I know in my heart I wish I could scold and scream at them for. But I can't...because that would be the official end of our friendship. Call me selfish, it's the truth.
It's almost as if the only reason why they turn to me is because I'm the only one who tells them they're doing OK....Maybe I'm the last thing that keeps them going. But if the going is harmful...do I keep up the game?
I don't know.
**I love LOST. I don't care how ridiculous it has gotten. I freaking LoVe LoSt. This new love double triangle they've got going on ( Kate kicks Juliet's ass btw) has got me quite emotionally involved and the fact that some things (some...) are finally making sense and some circles ( some...) are finally coming around is thrilling.
Anyways, I know there are plenty of haters but I cannot tell a lie...LOST is where its at.
**Goodnight 1:44am Thursday morning.

desiderata
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons; they are vexatious to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.
Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment, it is as perennial as the grass.
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

...when we are alone...
...and when we are in love.
