uh oh the frying pan

so... every now and again, i think it is important to get thrown into an environment that is completely alien. I think that is what i need most right now, and luckily i get to do that this week. Balty again. i know, i wasn't expecting it either. And i wasn't sure i wanted to go, but i think it'll be good for me. 1. i miss my big sis. 2. i am going to be at a convention where i get to discuss arab politics and social issues. 3. i will be hanging out with a bunch of people i don't know at all.

Just thrown in. we'll see how i work out. there's some super-cute boys i've seen pics of that will be there. i just hope they like talking politics... hehe. nah, i'm not looking for anything but a vacation from everything i know here in oklahoma. I need to be out of the comfort zone a bit.

in other revelations. i love my major.

and in even more revelations... while waiting for mizi outside of gourmetvue after studying all friday night... i was approached by a particularly inebriated guy who proceeded to tell me how we belong together and he wanted to take me out, and i deserve a guy who is going to tell me how wonderful and beautiful and intelligent i am every day of my life... best comment of the night? "where do your parents live?" "okc" "mine live in norman... we could totally work this out!" so mizi gets thre after 20 minutes of this... and ends up knowing the guy. it was all just odd. and in case you're wondering... no... i'm not getting married any time soon. but i think its odd that drunken strangers are the ones to point things out like that. Not that i should be told how beautiful i am every day. i'll kill anyone that tries. but just that appreciation is important. friends... significant others... whoever. you have to find people that appreciate you for who you are. its important. and it seems basic and obvious, but most people really don't get that. they don't think about it, and they devalue it.

end.
