Agape [ah-ge-peh]
I'm more determined to
prove that I can write.
---------------Yesterday, Mai and I were at Snyder. We sat in a circle with Dwight, and I was solving one of his geometry problems when he asked, "Why do you wear your hair in a bun?"
I looked up, cleared my throat and said, "Well, I wear it in a bun because if I don't, my hair is all over my face."
He reached for my bangs fixed it. "Turn your head," he said.
"No," I said.
He grabbed my chin and made me face him. "Oooh," he said.
He then reached behind head and tried to pull off the scrunchie, to no avail of course. [I don't spend an eternity doing my hair just so people can undo it just like that.] So, I thought
Why not? and undid my bun.
Dwight then put my headband on me, then patted my head.
Later, Sam came into the room and took Dwight away. When he came back, he stopped at the door and said "I don't understand why you don't wear your hair down. You are more beautiful when you don't wear it up."
Mai and I exchanged looks, then laughed.
---------------I love Tuesdays and Thursdays with Mai. <3
Yesterday, we grabbed food at Checkers then headed for Lincoln Park to eat there. It was great. We sat at one of the picnic tables even if it was freezing out. Then we went to sit under one of the willows. And, this is the part I love the most, we walked in the rain and went on the swings.
I love being a kid. :)
[Of course, I did get sick from all that rain. I stayed home today because I woke up with a slight fever. It was worth it, though.]
---------------To say that I love her would be an understatement. What I feel for her is way, way beyond that. And then it hit me...
Agape... Self-sacrificing, volitional,
unconditional love.
Thank you. You saved me.

Randoms things about me
I'm Kitten :)
I get a year older every 17th of August. I am a Leo, and I carry all traits associated with that zodiac.
Right now, I'm twenty years old and I'm loving it. They say we're only as young as we feel. I feel like I'm five.
I would never leave the house without my Zen and my E2. The latter connects me to the world; the former takes me away from it.
If I were to choose a word to describe my life, that word would be
crazy.
I am in love with the stars. I am in love with the rain.
I am a Rutgers University student, and I want to graduate with an English degree. An English-Psych double major would be nice. An English-TCert would be even better.
I want to be a teacher. I want to be writer. I want to be both.
I thrive on indie and emo. Mae, The Spill Canvas, Copeland and Daphne Loves Derby - these are the guys that I listen to. I listen to other bands here and there, but mostly those are the bands I follow. That being said, I'm a mainstream moron.
There's no feeling more lovely than being carried away. People don't usually think of me as somebody spontaneous, but I like being swept away as much as the next girl.
I fall in love easily, but it is really hard for me to fall out. Really hard.
I am very fragile.
I am tolerant of almost everything except one thing: intolerance.
I am an extensive reader. I thirst only for meaning, nothing else.
I love my friends <3
I am extremely spiritual but not religious.
Things I want to do in my life time
Get a job.
- Save up enough money to go back home -
wherever that is if I ever had one before I'm 40.
- Write a book.
- Sing for a Disney movie.
- Buy a house on top of a hill.
- Go bunjee jumping.
Travel halfway around the world.
- See Italy.
Find the one person who makes my heart beat faster and slower at the same time.
Draw and paint.
Learn how to play Sudoku.
- Volunteer for American/Philippine Red Cross or UNHCR.
Quit smoking.
