Some memories are realities, and are better than anything that can ever happen to one again.

ha, no wonder boyfriend kept telling me to pack like a looooooooooong time ago..but me, being the procrastinator..basically waited until last night to pack..not that i accomplished so much..stuffed all the clothes in my closet into my car..haha literally..no boxes, nothing...just grabbed 'em out of my closet..tied some string around the hangers so that they don't get all tangled..and laid them in my car=)...so i have that..and a luggage full of shoes waiting to be shipped to san gabriel=P..haha

and so while i was cleaning out and shredding stuff i came across some OOOOOOOOOOOOLD school stuff from college..hehe like my SPOP stuff..geez i'm a pack rat...our name was jurassic prado..and as i was going down the list of those who stayed there with me...i ran into some familiar names who i didn't even really talk to that weekend: kellyjean, johnjohn, benny, jos...and i also had ray as my staffer..heheh...and with the address list they mailed us i found some letters that some of my dormmates had sent..the funniest had to be from this girl jeannie..now remember, this was the summer before freshman year..the part in the letter went something like this:

"i just got a computer and my dad installed AOL, i have an email address now!!! Do you have an email address?"..and sadly i remembered i didn't get aim until winter quarter..i think uci email was my first email address=P

okay i probably just butchered that part of her letter..but it was soooo funny when i read it last night..shows how far technology came..how we were all so excited to have AOL/AIM on our computers..that was like THE thing to do..hehe especially after freshman year...ahhh memories...so doo dee doo i'm searching through more of my junk and find these quotes that i scribbled on some paper..i think it was when i was babysitting my cousins and saw it on my aunt's calendar or something..so in no particular order (oh and they're all lovey dovey corny okay!!):

"Live life with and open mind and try to love the simple things in life."

"Our heart caves not because we have lost love, but because we have temporarily stopped loving."

"By feeling gratitute for the good times and forgiveness for the mistakes, the heart is filled with the love it needs to heal itself."

"Living in hope prevents us from facing our fears and then letting go of our insecurity."

"There are things you'd love to hear that you'd never hear from the person you'd like to hear from, but then be so deaf as to not hear it from the one that says it from his heart." ---wow that's an earful!

"Don't live life in the past, look forward; because if you keep looking back, you might trip over what is to come for you." ----huh? i think i missed some words there

"If you haven't been screwed in your life, you haven't been in love. But once in awhile you have to let go no mattter how hard it hurts."

heheh geez i was such a hopeless romantic...well i guess i still am..just boyfriend makes fun of me about it sometimes=P..ha! so yah, i guess last night packing was spent more on reminiscing..hehe..grrrrreat and i haven't even gone through the pictures yet!..i think it was a good idea that i just boxed those up..i really should get at least one big box for all the trinkets i have on my bookcase..but instead i got lazy and stuck some stuff in paper bags..heheh..ghetto fabulous i know...ah well..hopefully sunday's move won't be too bad..good luck to the shockers..woohoo go for 6 innings!!!!!!..sorry that i can't make it..

-oh, and muchos thanks to those who listened to my venting..and for their kind words..=)
