i've become very sloppy & irresponsible in my relationships of late. constantly MIA, unwilling, tired, grumpy, overwhelmed, busy, annoyed.

AHH... i wish the summer would just come and throw all commitment out the window -- coward's way out, right? but it's getting so difficult to commit to the number of people that need commitment from me. i learned the other day, and decided that in my life it was true --> busyness is a social construct. i told my brother as a result, that, from may 25th, when the summer begins, i'm going to start saying "No" to people. i haven't in a looong time, and i realise now what my friend told me was true -- that when you get caught up completely in the technicalities of life, you forget to appreciate God. or most of the time serving God becomes an obligation. and people around you are not understanding... they have standards that they uphold of you. which should exist, given your position of authority... but not when it these standards become an obligation above a love for God that should take precedence over all else.

PLEASE bring May 25 to me SOON.

on a lighter note, a picture of easter egg dyeing with my good romanian friends who are the nicest people in the world. they were celebrating the festival orthodox christian style.

OH MY GOSH.
