"thanks to you, now i get, what i want"--kelly clarkson
hey hey
so yesterday was uneventful, i had a good dinner, then my mom and i went to Sprint, they close at 800 apparently, we got there at 801 and they told us sorry, they were closed, i wanted to tell them, it's ok, we'll just switch to cingular...whatever. so no new phone for me! boo! maybe tonight! then we went to payless, ross, michael's and the grocery store. i got some snacks and food for work, so now i won't starve.
this morning i woke up to an IM from boyfriend telling me to watch the news and i heard about the terrorist attack in london which really made me sad, then i started thinking about the people who work in our office there that i work closely with, then the baylor students in great britain, etc. my mom said she didn't want to go there again, i was like mom, then the terrorists are working, making you scared. it didnt' stop her from going to new york and LOVING it! whatever. i hate that we live like this, but i don't think it would stop me from going there. you can't live in fear that something like that will happen, i don't think we are 100% safe, but it's just something we live with everyday, when the khobar tower bombing happened, we didn't just LEAVE saudi, we stayed for almost another year and a half. maybe it's b/c i lived in a country where weird things happened like that, but i don't think i'm immune to terrorism. i think you just need to be smart and aware of your surroundings at all times...i'm not saying that the people on the bus and subways were aware (i think there are certain situations where you can't be) urgh, i think i am taking myself into circles...basically i'm just saying, i don't think we should live our lives in fear, and if the terrorists are making people fearful of going out and traveling, then we are just letting them win, and they don't' deserve to win.
ok, off the soapbox.
it's thursday, wow! tomorrow is friday and boyfriend!!! and friends visiting! i get to be an austin tour guide and i think that i have most things down, except for what to do during the day, i am thinking of things like the Oasis (boo, half burned), mozarts, 6th (of course), the drag, driving around downtown, if you think of anything else, let me know.
today i'm going to lunch with this girl who also won a free lunch with a financial advisor and she gets to take 5 "friends", so some of us from work are going...what can i say? i can be social AND eat free, it would be nice to get to know the girls from downstairs, i feel anti-social sometimes.
so tonight i am going to try to find the sprint place in the arboretum, and work out with allison, and CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN! ahhh!
peace out
