:)

this is an e-mail my grandpa wrote to my hungarian relatives while we were visiting:

Christin nalunk latatoban egy ismerossel(Michael), Los Angelesbol.
Nalunk aludtak egy ejjel, reggel usztak egyet, majd egyutt reggeliztunk.
Tegnap Gabit felszedtuk a San Jose rep.-terrol Chicagobol megerkezve, majd egyutt a Pedro's-hoz vacsorara.
Ma reggel Gabiek is reggelire, utana Christinek tovabb San Franciscoba egy O'Brien rokom fiuhoz es holnap visszavezetnek haza.
Ez a Michael (nem osszetevesztendo ) nemreg volt 2 honapig odaat Euopaban csatangolni. Kulonben, Pork es Fernalli ( Lajos ismeri Ot ) mult nyar ota Berlinben tartozkodnak, csak hogy tudjatok.

Szevaztok,
Pubi.


its funny.

or what i don't know.

whenever i drink out of a styrofoam cup i have this struggle:
should i bite into the cup leaving behind a perfect imprint of my crooked bottom teeth?
should i not bite into the cup, leaving it smooth and unblemished?


this morning i ate a donut with pink frosting. i now know that i don't like donuts with pink frosting.


last night we went to a comedy show that manny was performing in. some of the comics were funny, some of them were horrible. mike and i actually had to get up and leave because we were so embarressed for one woman. it was windy outside.

don't do it.

when we were up north, we asked my grandpa to put on a video of me when i was younger. he puts in a tape, starts it, and then walks away to check his e-mail. the tape opens to a stage, then begins the worst children's community theatre production of peter rabbit that ever existed. the thing is, i wasn't even in that play. so we are sitting there watching a play that shane is barely in from 1996 and we are just laughing because of all the tapes that he could have put in to meet our request, this is what he chose. finally he puts on a different tape, its hamlet, from 2001, which i was in . however, he didn't tape any of my monologues it was just zoomed in shots of me standing around on stage. finally he put on a tape from thanksgiving of 1994. alec was little and cuddling with gubi, shane was talking and joking, and i was sitting there. i would sit in one chair, then the other. skinny with saggy thermal pants on. the same haircut i have today. quiet. and whenever i did do something to catch the eye of the camera, someone else took over the scene. except for the part where i sang while doing the hand motions to "skida merinky dinky dink, skida a merinky doo, i love you"


after dinner the girls and i were all holding hands and running through the filled streets of downtown los gatos on a friday night. i would say "walk with BIIIIIG STEPS" and we would walk with big steps and then "walk while skipping!" and then we would walk while skipping" and then "walk while YELLING!!!!" and then we would walk while yelling and then isabel said "walk while laughing!" and we all walked while laughing.

at breakfast my grandma kept asking olivia if she wanted things and she would say "no" and then a few seconds later ask for that thing. finally gubi said "olivia! you're thinking about something else. you need to pay attention and listen to what grandma is asking you" and then isabel starting laughing and saying "whats olivia thinking about?!" and olivia started laughing and they were both screeching and giggling and leaning over gubi to whisper to each other what they were thinking about
"hahahaha, what? hahahahahah what? ahahahaha, what i didn't hear, hahahahah..." until finally we hear olivia whisper "haha.i.....was...thinking...about...GOING BALD!"

when we were getting ready to leave i told gubi, "if they are putting on a show it needs to be quick because we're about to head out" and she said "oh no they're not putting on a show. i don't think they are" and i said "really? because they just gave mike and i pieces of paper and said 'these are tickets for the show' and then they ran down the hall saying 'we need to practice'" and she said "oh my god"

they are so cool. one night they were running and screaming and flipping and gubi said "please, stop it... just be normal. just be normal" and mike and both leaned down and said "don't! don't do it! never be normal!"

i loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove.

i have three different colors sprayed into my hair because we played in the costume section of wal-mart. i tried to put a white spot in his hair but i had already sprayed red so it turned pink.

i have a very bad cold!

in between

extremes are .. are they always bad or are they okay sometimes? i think i've always said "anything is okay in moderation" which i guess doesn't necessarily leave out extremes, if they are in moderation. can an extreme ever be in moderation? i don't know my brain right now. mike and i were apart for three months, four months really if you don't count the frog pond. which, apparently counted a WHOLE lot. and now since Wednesday morning at 1am this is the first time we've been apart. extreme.

i am not complaining, i am not at all in the least bit complaining, i'm in love. but what happens when its just the in between. thats gonna be the interesting part. i'm interested to see what happens. i'm hopeful, excited, and interested.

BIG&exciting

today mike and i are going to paint my bathroom. I LOVE PAINTING THINGS. sara said, "thats the big exciting thing you're going to do on his first day back?" and i said "what.. who ever said anything about big and exciting?"

also i found the best crossword puzzle website ever.
also, dr. lim just walked by and on his way out he said "when did you cut your hair?" and i said "friday" and he said "well it looks much better. see you tommorrow"

hahaha, what did it look like before? what do i even look like?
