strange sense of closuretoday as i was searching for our passports, i sifted and sorted through papers i have been hauling with me, from year to year, as i move around. being forced to go through the papers was interesting-i found things i had written in college, old letters, pics of old girlfriends, the text of the civil union (as well as a host of paycheck stubs dating from the 90's...wheee).

note to self about the c:out tag in JSTL um, big time duh. it automatically escapes HTML/XML content for you.

i have to admit...even though i consider myself a musicphile, i've never heard the pink floyd version of "comfortably numb". dar williams covered it on her most recent album My Better Self, and i have to say, it's pretty good. i'm sure the pink floyd fans of the world would disagree, but i think the guitar is sufficiently trippy enough to bring a drug induced (or at least what i presume it

tell Mr. Man with impossible plans to just leave me alone Wednesday was my mom's 50th birthday. i love my mom, i guess (only) b/c she's my mom. i know she cares about me, but it's hard to accept caring from someone that lives in a bubbleworld. she is afraid to acknowledge her husband's abuse of my bro and i, and i just don't get it. we all went to dinner, at Sweetwater Tavern Wednesday night

wrapping up 2003 (some) things i learned in 2003: -if i don't know what it is i need, no one else will know either -ignoring a gut feeling isn't a good idea -Electra (my cat) rules! -making time for things that spiritually feed me is important -i am strong -Radiohead might be the best band to ever exist -the Universe *does* only give us what we are prepared for -insecurity often causes me act

why so green and lonely? good question. i'm not sure. while i'm definitely happy 2003 is nearly complete, i don't want it to go. as long as i don't stop learning, i'll be ok....but...i dunno. i've been invited to 3 parties, 3 small gatherings, and one bar thing. despite how cool all of these people are, i continue to feel the need to be alone. maybe do some early night people watching, and

Dear Radiohead, Please come back to the US. I didn't know that you only tour sporadically before-if I had known I would have tried to see you at least once more in NYC, if not twice. I want to hear you again now that I'm far more acquainted your music. I want to feel the thrill of the hypnotic electronic bleeps and static. I want to clap along with We Suck Young Blood-I want to jump when
