why are some people just so useless?! all they do is take and consume and never give. just get out of here! waste of space.
and thus, i do not hang out with people who have the above principles. goodbye. :]
the truth that once was spoken
to love another person is to see the face of God
- les miserables
there are some people who tell it how it is. they’re comfortable and honest with who they are. they don’t have to manipulate the truth – of how something happened last night at the party, or once upon a time in a past relationship… they tell it straight up, what they learned from it, the good, the bad… and how it made them the person they are today.
there are the other people who can’t help themselves in stretching the truth – even just that little bit. and sometimes not even stretching the TRUTH… but making up something completely new to add onto a story that didn’t even happen. they have to “hollywood” their story – make it bigger and more dramatic than what really occurred. a night out with friends and you share a short glance with someone else you don’t like turns into “OMG did you see the look they gave me? OMG wtf is their problem?”. i’m not sure if it’s because they’re unsatisfied with their lives… if they think the real story is just too boring… or if it’s just a cry for attention.
i can’t help but smirk that you have to do that to make your life better, or make people believe you are a better person because of the lies you tell. i’m sorry (not really) if that’s mean to say.
today is sujal’s birthday. it’s funny how something like this means so much more after someone passes. thanks to facebook and it’s little birthday notices – his name on my right side panel is a reminder of someone who was taken too early and that you can’t take life for granted. this is not meant to be a dramatic/sympathy post, but simply to say live life to the fullest and don’t hold back. <3
i still remember vividly the first time i got dressed up after g and i started dating. we were just going to a house party in west campus and i wore a black top with jeans and heels and wore makeup. nothing too fancy. as i was walking down the sidewalk, g took my hand and pulled me back from the group of people we were walking with. he had a big smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye (i know that’s cheesy, but it’s true) as he twirled me slowly around and simply commented on how nice i looked.
and now, whenever he catches a glimpse of me trying on different outfits in front of our full-length mirror, or i come downstairs dressed up as he waits for me – i still see that same big smile on his face and the twinkle in his eye.
this little installment is leading up to when i was flying to new mexico so g and i could drive back to austin together after his bnsf internship on the railroad:
and some old pics of us driving from belen, nm to austin, tx… plus pics of us cleaning out g’s apartment

inspired by this comic on xkcd:
in honor of valentine’s day in less than a week, i decided to do a series of sappy email/chats that g and i had when we first started dating in 2006. now you can see how random and crazy i used to be (wait… still am?) but i promise, i’m not this crazy anymore (g might beg to differ).

this particular one i find awesome because it’s the first time i showed g a pic of baby oink. i find my comments on how “big” he’ll get particularly hilarious:

now, the above was just a tiny snippet of all the random, short sentenced emails i used to send g. please note that i was also getting used to gmail as i had just created the account and was apparently very “confused” by it all. below, i think g is trying to nicely tell me to stop emailing him so much and use the gchat function. obviously, i ignored him.
