exhausted is the only word in my vocabulary at the moment. good gracious. isn't spring break supposed to be relaxing and enjoyable? rush, rush, rush. i've given up on my oil painting and so i think i'll fail. hahahahaha. i was over at the hsiao's house saturday nite and they had some of ria's artwork around the house. i wish i had talent like her. she was so gifted, it's amazing. i miss hearing her talk about her latest paintings and projects and about all the "interesting" ppl she met on the way to school and at school. i miss hearing her laugh and scream MICHHHYYYY!!! everytime she saw me. i miss her bright smile and her bubbly attitude. i miss her advice and insight to life. i miss talking to her on the phone into the early hours of the morning. i miss the long emails and letters we used to exchange. i miss having her over to watch mtv and cook spaghetti with. i miss talking about the different designs we dreamed about for our tattoos. i miss talking about the cutie guys we'd see at the mall. i miss ranting about our sucky, hard to please art teachers. i just MISS RIA. time doesn't stop the wound of pain from bleeding, but lessens it so you can at least get through the day.
