“I’ve been living my life…I’ve been in good relationships and I’ve been in shitty ones… and I’ve moved alot… and I’ve been happy, and I’ve been sad… and I’ve been lonely… and that is what I’ve been doing. Which is a lot more then I can say for some….” –Miss Jen Aniston

Tomorrow I have to stop living normal life and start doing what I said I’d do when I grew up — go to law school and be a lawyer. I guess that means that tomorrow, I grow up. I took a little bit of a hiatus between undergrad and law school….for a lot of reasons…a broken heart, mostly. During the hiatus I managed to get a master’s degree, heal broken heart, find a killer job with a killer boss (who I had to leave behind this week) and find my future husband. All in all, I’d say it was a successful hiatus but, it was a break in the order of things nonetheless. It’s hard for a girl like me to feel anything but defeated by something not happening on *my* time schedule. But, in my pensive mood, it dawned on me…I might not have a degree from Harvard or a spot at USC law school…but I’ve got me some memories. And I’ve got me some killer friends. I laughed, cried, bled, sang, hated, loved, moved on, stayed put and maintained. That’s what I’ve got. That’s what I’ve been doing.

Suck on it.

P.S. – Since I’m in law school, I get a winter break *and* a spring break! Get ready Bako…I’m comin’ home on those breaks and I expect to see you all there waiting…with bells on.


“He was born to shimmer…he was born to shine…”

My brother is hotter than yours. Chances are, he’s probably also smarter….he’s a ph.D/Master in crap I can’t even pronounce. Anyway, today is his birfday. I don’t think I need to reiterate how much I *adore* my brother. Really, he’s just plain ol’ awesome. He’ll be my best friend forever. That’s right…my BFF. If I’m Jessica Simpson, he’s my Ken Paves (for those of you that know us, that analogy really fits–except for the gay thing…I’m totally assuming Ken Paves is gay…I mean he’s gotta be right).

I havn’t blogged in about 2 months. But for my brother, I blogged today (and promise, I’ll be better at it, but it might turn into a “what I learned at law school today” site). And for my brother I’d do just about anything else that he needed. We’re not the same age, we don’t have the same hobbies and we haven’t lived in the same town in years, but somehow we’ve always been there for each other and maintained a daily friendship that I couldn’t live without. “No matter how fast we are running, somehow we keep up with each other.” And I’d back him up.

Happy birthday brother! Celebrate him.
