happy couple hours after valentine's day! all in all, it's been a pretty good day. had some interesting interactions with a couple people, but ya know. whatever. it's valentine's day. it's supposed to be a little weird. i got to give lots of people some yummy cookies i baked, and got to spend some time with people who are dear to me. hooray.

am currently staying up all night (or however long i make it) with my girls, working on a case study competition. we're hoping to get tons of stuff done so we dont have to work on it much this weekend. we'll see. i'm really not good at staying up all night, so.. ya know.

as a friend said, 'happy chocolate is on sale day!'

twice within the last year (last march, and then again today) i have been told that because someone did not intend to hurt me i have no reason to actually be hurt. i do not understand how this works. it seems to me that the actual effect of an action is what matters in the end, not the intention of it. seems to me as though even if you don't intend to hurt someone, if you do you are still responsible for owning up to it and then *apologizing* and perhaps clarifying things so that the same mistake does not happen again. am i wrong on this?

i am so tired of manipulative people who are on power trips.

kindof want to go crawl into a cave. or sit in the rain and watch the thunderstorms. mrrrrr
