PLANS FOR SUMMER 2009 ;D In no particular order, and not limited to these suggestions: 1. Get caught in the rain...on purpose. 2. Get caught in the rain...by accident. 3.

Take at least one driving lesson. 29. Take pictures with random people. 30. MAKE A SCRAPBOOK OF THE SUMMER. - - - - - - - - - - I just want to mention something. There's something I'd like to see happen. Random people keep popping up, new people, people who keep my life interesting. I meet them through people, through events, through places. It is very random. I just want to say that I feel like I'm in 5th grade again, haha. I like the feeling, and at the same time, I despise how it controls me sometimes. ... Let's just say that I wish something epic will happen this summer. With someone. I'd like to be with someone for once. C ya, *Ai-Rini P.S. I hate competing with you. I don't want to do it, but it seems to come up often. It's not my fault that we're so similar in the ways that we want our lives to turn out, and it offends me that that fact offends you. It's not like I looked at you and said, "Oh, I want to be her," or, in your opinion, "Oh, I want to be better than her." No. I am this way because it is what I have chosen, and your being you hardly had anything to do with that decision. So I would appreciate it if you would just let me be. Our desires cross paths and duel, but I just wish that we would end up wanting different things for once, so we would both end up in peace, not pieces.
