All absolute statements are false. Including this one.

Pete and I should be the designated cigarette destroyers. For all of your health of course :) I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one immersed in a whole bunch of deep thought, Amanda. It's strange being home after being at school because expectations here and the general social climate is VASTLY different. The things that are acceptable here are also different as well. It's interesting comparing the two, but also confusing to sift through what I believe is right and wrong..... just some thoughts. Hey this is a good question to debate... Does anybody believe that any absolute answers exist? I feel that they don't...... but I feel that personal answers are the only ones that exist. I just feel that sometimes people get frustrated when they think that the questions they have are unanswerable, but really that's nothing to get upset about at all, because the only thing that matters is finding a solution that each individual person is comfortable with. I think about stuff like this all the time for some reason. Anyways, I'm dog tired and frazzzled from hatred of the devilish retail company known as Target so I must sleep.

hey! It looks like everyone has been keeping busy. I wanted to say congrats to arie and christina on the poetry thing and tell you that I received that same e-mail, except i had no way to get the money, so there goes my prize and ticket to d.c. oh well! as for your ?'s about the ra thing christina. I found out from megan fitzgibbons. she was one of the people that got the job, and she is always talking with craig. I am kind of glad that i didn't get the job though because now I get to live with all you guys. Of course the extra money would have been nice. SO much has gone on here and there is so much to read too. I have been working my butt off six days a week, but I get paid well to do it, so I am not complaining. I have some guy from texas telling me that he has feelings for me, which is creepy since we are only friends, and I have only known him for a few weeks. it is creepier still because he is well, "older" than me by a few years and he has a kid, and an ex wife and all that stuff. Something I don't want to get involved with. Plus, he is going back to texas in a few weeks after he finishes installing all the new satelite dishes here. Our cable company was bought out by his, and that is how I met him. He installed my new satelite dish. It is kind of funny, and the guys at work tease me about it all the time. I have been playing softball and frisbee golf ith my friend Chris and his friends. I can't throw the frisbee that well though. And my little cousins just turned 2 and 3. they are so adorable and I am glad that I am home to celebrate with them. I just read about adam's summer of thought and contemplation and I can seriously say that mine has been full of thoughts. I can't go to sleep at night without trying to figure out something new in my life. I am seriously trying to straighten things out with some old friends, but i have to swallow my pride first and admit that I was wrong, which is hard for me to do. And, I started smoking again, which is not cool. I am hoping that I can quit when I get back to school. I might need help though. I like the camping idea. Someone has to let me know though because I have a 2-3 person tent I can bring. So, if we go, I am putting carrie in charge of telling me before I go back early. I am still going back for training eventhough I am not going to be an ra. I hope you go too Christina. it won't be that lonely if you are there. Anyhow! I have to go now guys. sorry for this jumbled message. I hope you get it all! See you all in about a month!

yay for camping, can we go every weekend?
PLEASEE!!!!!!!!! ( :
i am going hiking to a rock climbing spot tomorrow. i am so excited. i love rock climbing and i love hiking.... I LOVE MOUNTAINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sorry.... got a little carried away there.

hey everybody I ran this idea past pete when I talked to him. I think the first weekend we are at college, we should go camping at green oaks. We won't be swamped with work yet, we can tell each other about our summers and stuff, and hopefully it isn't too hot. Just an idea.
