10 14 pm pdt   [ elementary school ]

Well, my body actually listened, and I woke up this morning feeling perfectly healthy. That was the strangest and shortest illness I've ever had...

In elementary school we used to repeat things we had heard without knowing their meaning; jokes that made fun of certain ethnic groups graced our lips without our understanding. I remember saying, "Isn't it ironic that Madonna sings Like a Virgin?" I'm sure I had no idea why it was ironic. Or if I had some vague sense, I still didn't really understand. I wonder how quips like that get started and I wonder why kinds pass them one when they so often go over their heads.

I worked out like crazy today, making my arms very tired with my 9 pound weights. I did an exercize for my lats which I have never done before and which will no doubt make me very sore tomorrow.

two years ago today: "He and I trooped all over campus looking at grade postings -- his grades. I don't mind waiting another week till I can call and get them by phone or on the web with my GPA calculated and everything."

one year ago today: "I remember that my favorite thing about going to my father's office when I was little was getting to alphabetize files."
