Return from the Dead

I know I have not posted in awhile but I promise, since this is the first in like 5 months, I'll make it good. Fall semester has been crazy given all that I took on, but now all that is left is to learn all my classes in the next 2 weeks! How did I get myself in this hole? Oh that's right, I thought I was Superwoman. Anyway, remember my posts about emails with my Mom and Dad from college? Well, 3 years later, Dad is still Dad and I know how y'all love Dad.

Erika to Dad
If I try to make an appointment for the Acura to go to Metro Acura this coming Saturday early morning, can you take the car in? It would make me feel better just to get the alignment now.

Response
I don't want to but if I have to; try to make it on Friday and ask if
the sales still valid and let them know the car just had it's service.
I love my life.

How can you not love your life?!
I AM YOUR DAUGHTER AND THAT SHOULD MAKE YOU VERY HAPPY.

Well, If I have a chance to do it all over again, what would be the
answer?

I don't like you today.

jesus christ i don't even remember how long ago this was! i think this is back in 1999. (**edit. duh, the date on the picture says so!) and yes, i have gained massive weight since then so shut up.


you love me christine!

introducing my boyfriend







these are still some of my favorite pics of us babe! and yes, he is molesting me in that last picture.

seattle, vancouver, and a bit of old town pasadena

















Wow. Class flies by when you spend time posting pictures!

i'm still here. i know i need to post (thanks for reminding me lisa)-- once i think of something -- or find embarrassing pictures.

best quote ever

"i don't believe in love. i believe in fucking. you get in and out with a maximum of pleasure and a minimum of bullshit."

**oh yeah, i never got around to reading pride and prejudice

i think i've tried to read pride and prejudice at least 10 times. and i'm so sick and tired of hearing everybody say it's one of their favorite novels. i don't get it! what's wrong with me?! (lisa and christine, i know you're shaking your heads in disgust) anyhow so i tried, again for the 11th time. and it's funny because i know i've read the first page (or probably the first 50 pages) at least 20 times, so much that i think i've memorized the chain of events.

so, on this saturday night, i have several options. i can: (1) study, (2) watch tv/movie, or (3) attempt to read pride and prejudice. (i was re-motivated to read pride and prejudice when my friend at school said it was one of her favorite books and the rest of her "favorites" list consisted of books i liked as well, so i figured, if we have relatively similar tastes, i have to like pride and prejudice too, right?)

i'll let you know what happens.

***sidenote, amy made a comment today on the phone on how i suddenly got so insightful. i don't think that's the word she used but something to that effect. hey, maybe there are some perks to law school!
