shux i gotta fix this malware deal...

update on my knees...

so ya know how i told y'all about my knees swelling up? well yesterday i went to the rheumatologist. she did some tests an' stuff... apparently i have hypermobility! which means that i can move my joints (mostly my knees and fingers) farther than other people. meaning my joints are slightly less tight than others', which can occasionally cause inflammation... haha i sound really scientific ;P lol soooo that's a possible explanation. when i get the other results, we'll (hopefully) get actual explanations ;}
k, see y'all later :)

re-contemplating the meaning of a blog...

what's the point of a blog?
is it for the enjoyment of the reader?
the exasperation of the author's thoughts and emotions?
the sharing of one's talents and gifts?

well, mine is kind of all of the above...
i love sharing, i love exasperating, i love entertaining, i love passing on joy.
here's a little: joy well, actually it's hope... have a dash o' love...
hope that there are still gentlemen and ladies left in the world...
i love overflowing joy and unexplainable love...

tears fall by barlowgirl

I've had the same dream many times

It haunts my mind

It starts with a life

But it ends every time

Oh, so many faces

This world will never see

A reason for your life

But your heart will never beat

May the tears fall down

Let them soften this ground

May our hearts be found

God, forgive us now

Oh, what have we lost

Because we chose, we'll never know

And loving you is better

Than feeling alone

And all our claims to freedom

Have become these heavy chains

And in the name of rights

We keep filling nameless graves

May the tears fall down

Let them soften this ground

May our hearts be found

God, forgive us now

world cup 2010 (yes, again)

so this world cup is my absolute favorite! :D all my top 4 are in the semis! and now the top 3 are in the finals (one more to be kicked out :[ )... this is my top 4 (well, 3... it's confusing...) because 3 of my original top 4 have all been eliminated :( sad day lol... ok let my try to explain a different way:
my original top 4 favorite teams:

• Great Britain
• USA, of course
• Australia
• Germany

my new top 4 now that 3 of those /\ have been eliminated:

• Uruguay
• Spain
• Germany
• Netherlands

i "favorited" the second list a little before the quarters, so it wasn't rigged ;P haha
but netherlands beat uruguay (well that was unexpected!), so only 3 of my 2nd list of top 4's are in the finals/semis :) make sense? maaaaaybe?
spain seriously has NO chance against that powerhouse germany... *and i'm not just saying that because i'm german ;P* poor spain...
prediction (although it's technically not a fair one seeing as the finals are right around the corner):
germany vs spain : germany defeats spain, 3-1
finals: germany vs netherlands : (heart) netherlands defeats germany, like 6-5 or something wacko. (head) germany butchers netherlands, 8-0 ;P haha i love you both... i honestly don't care that much, i just hope it's a well played, coached, and reffed game...
*can't wait!* germany vs spain : wednesday, july 7, 2.30pm est abc
*can't wait even less!* netherlands vs... : sunday, july 11, 2.3pm est abc
*haha* losers match : saturday, july 10, 2.30pm est abc

i heart soccer :}

independence day and something else...

last night, a bunch of my friends and family went in to Boston to see the fireworks there. first we had dinner at my aunt's house in somerville, then some of us walked and some of us drove to cambridge to watch the fireworks over the charles. mr scott (my sunday school teacher ;P) used to work at the marriot, so he found "his favorite spot" on a welcome mat sewer cover (it's an inside joke...). seeing as we left somerville at 8.30, we stood in cambridge, on our welcome mat sewer cover, for 2 hours. lots of fun, let me tell ya. goodness, some people! they would like shove past you so they could stand on your feet, block your view, and blow smoke in your face! golly, obnoxious to the max... but eventually they would move on ;P mr scott and my cousin are sooo rambunctious, my goodness! haha right before the fireworks started, mr scott yelled (and those who know his yell, i was standing right in front of him... *ouch* lol ;D) "THE BRITISH ARE COMING!" we did a clapping game where you go around the circle and every person claps one more than the person before them. people around us kept looking at us weird ;D hehe i love confusing random people... we kept trying to make people think there was something to clap for by starting to applaud and yell. haha everyone started looking toward the barge to see if the fireworks had started or something ;P so we entertained ourselves for 2 hours by being obnoxious (lol some people enjoyed the show ;P). the fireworks themselves weren't that exciting... the finale was pretty good, but everything else was kind of same old, same old. but that's ok, because it was fun! ;D haha... _ now i need to stick the "something else" in to help explain this next part: last tuesday, my left knee was hurting, wednesday it started to swell up, and thursday morning it was a balloon. i went to the doctor, they did xrays, blood tests, etc. and it turns out i either have lyme disease or rheumatoid arthritis. we'll get the lyme test results tomorrow, so... i'm hoping it's lyme because then it can be treated and done away with... i think i'm going to have to make the type smaller for this post! lol ;P sorry... _ anywho, back to last night. most of our group (sleep-)walked back to somerville (by now it's like 11-something), but me (because my knees were killing me from standing and walking for 3 hours), my mom, my cousin's grandma, and my cousin's grandma's friend from canada (hehe i love the 's ;P) waited for my aunt to pick us up in her car that she parked in kendall square. we found the intersection down the street from the charles where we were supposed to meet her, and... sat there for 1 1/2 hours. there were plenty of things to entertain! the building across the street's alarm was going off and some fire trucks came, then left, then came again... i loooove people watching... and there were some short-of-patience police officers directing traffic... so the reason she was so late was because the police were directing traffic away from where we were. so finally, at about 1 o'clock (haha july 5th) my dad and uncle came and picked us up. we were even considering taking a cab away from where we were... and we didn't have a phone, so we borrowed some random guy's... fun time! _ i finally got in bed (and straight to sleep ;P) at 2.20am this morning and woke up at 11.13am :) _ now that i've wasted probably your whole day (bravo if you read the whole thing! i would feel loved...), how was your independence day? _ signing off [[zoomzoom]] flo on the go
