nothing particularly particular.

finals are finally over.
thank goodness.
said goodbye to david and brenden :( , drank expired juice boxes, watched cloudy with a chance of meatballs, followed maggie home, went to the lake to take pictures of judy's least favorite animals, relived our childhoods at the stonecreek playground, indulged in fast food and iced coffee/mocha, lounged around in a room with an organized mess (namely mine), annoyed several unsuspecting guys over facebook chat, & tweaked my layout a bit--the branches in the header are the same as the ones in the 3rd image of this post.

i really really like the following pictures (took them all today. or yesterday. thursday. whatever, the wee hours of the morning always confuse me).
even though they are not original at all
even though i feel like i am copying amelia
but i cannot help but post them.
i admit that i'm pretty proud of my progress in photography/editing in the past month.

i'd rather experience the entire spectrum of emotion than nothing at all.

having a memory longer than 3 seconds is pretty nice

we might as well be strangers.

the worst part is that i know you read all this.
and you don't even say anything in person
even when i tell you, in person, about how unhappy and sad and empty and lonely i feel
even though i see you all day, every day
actually not all day.
because you don't make any effort anymore
and from now on, neither will i.
because it obviously isn't worth it.

why do my friendships never last? (okay, i know the answer to this. it's because i'm too picky and i expect too much and i cannot give all of myself to someone who won't reciprocate my actions.)
but i thought that of all of them, this one at least would.

in the words of sokka, (just bringing a twist of humor into this humorless post)
the universe just loves proving me wrong.

i wish you'd actually listen.

i miss how things used to be.
