regardless of my mood, i somehow manage to cry during every sitting of these two shows/movies:
+ the last episode of sex&thecity
+ my sassy girl
it never fails.
and i don't know why. i didn't cry in the pursuit of happyness OR the passion of the christ - both of which i feel slightly guilty for, but i can't figure it out. obviously, the following two debunk my theory of having a heart of stone, so why can't i cry at all the expected tearjerkers?
here are the answers to some FAQ's I've encountered in the fast few days:
A:
+ Yes, I went to Boston [thursday - sunday].
+ It was for a field trip [for my major, not a class] with 24 people. Really. This is my first field trip since the 7th grade. I spent all of my middle school years looking forward to the 8th grade field trip to Medieval Times, but when I was in the 7th grade, our middle school's 8th graders went and stole something from there, causing them to forever ban our middle school from taking field trips there. Thus, I haven't been on a field trip in a REALLY long time, and I still hold a grudge for not having ever been to Medieval Times.
+ It was really, really cold. We walked around the Harvard Business School campus in -15 degree weather at 8am. but thank God HBS is brilliant enough to build underground tunnels. I love tunnels!
+ We visited two companies, but they all fed us really well and gave nice gifts. I'm not complaining.
+ I had very yummy clam chowder at the original Cheers bar.
+ Yes, I did see Jason. We spent a day together of him following me around H&M, me taking very embarrassing & touristy pictures in public, eating dimsum [at a restaurant that shows up in the background for a scene in the departed!], touring bc [while i ate frozen yogurt],
+ No, mom, I didn't find anyone to date/marry.
+ and yes, it was so much fun.
here's an attempt to photodump. more are on flickr.
i never had a real small group until i got to college, where i was
blessed with a group of very different but all extremely amazing girls
(and a leader, karen, that adored & babied & challenged us all
at the same time). karen went to vienna for a semester and finally
returned so we would stop hounding her with E-mails & photo
attachments of our we-miss-you gatherings. so tonight we finally
all regrouped [though not all are shown below] and talked for nearly
six hours. lovelovelove :)
and someone said something tonight that was very simple, but it somehow resonated with me tremendously - in the end, you want someone who gets you. how simple is that. really. but how true is that. that's the answer to why carrie chose big - b/c he gets her. gosh. alright, that didn't come out nearly as impactful as it had been in my head, but regardless. simple truth.
today i also learned that Skype rhymes with "type" and is not "Sky-pee."
