okay... you know those banners at the top of the page thing... the several members create so that they get more hits? well... it works. i love to discover new diaries and that is a perfect way to do so. especially if the banner is nicely designed and invites you into the home of their life and soul and mind. on the flipside of this, though... is when people have wonderfully designed banners, yet their diary is pretty much a diaryland template. it just doesn't work for me... at all. don't get me wrong... i'm not a snob at all, but to me it would just make sense that a beautifully designed banner would call for a beautifully designed diary.

maybe i'm wrong. that could just be me. as everything else seems to be.

okay... so um... yeah. i'm wearing my panda shirt from the san diego zoo today. it's just so cute. i love it. not as cute as my God son... but sorta close. sorta.

ya know that song "in the middle" by jimmy eats world? well.. i'm sure you've heard it because they play it constantly... and i even got sick of it before i actually listened to it. horrible of me, i know. so when we were in california, going to pick up kim and then drive out to vegas... the song came on the radio and that was the first time i actually listened to the words of the song. and right now, i love that song. it rocks so much. i always feel like i'm in the same situation as the lyrics of that song. that i'm trying to do what everyone else wants me to do rather than what is in my heart. i think that this is the year that i'm going to change. at least i'll work on it. i know it won't happen overnight, but if i stick to it, i'll follow my heart. i think being in the analyst position i can explore this as well... within the work boundries anyway.

alrightie... i'm gonna go get some coffee and head over to the rentals... or something. maybe go food shopping. i don't know... anyway, i won't be here.
