Journey to DC (pix)
While being scared of the South, venturing down to DC was a big step for me, but it was worth it.
It was my first time going on the metro (but I’ve been on a subway before psh). Although there were people breathing down my neck, it was so peaceful just to watch all the people go about their business.
Almost everywhere you went, you could see the Washington Monument. I think it was a tad bit taller than I was.
Hey, look, it’s my homie!
Aah! Run away or you might get the Getting Run over by Pidgeons® curse! (haha, total property of www.xanga.com/rising_zero)
The animals in DC are not afraid to get close to you, especially when you have food. A squirrel went up to my dad, got on its haunches, and begged for food. It was birazzare, pathetic, and funny.
Fishy museum! I never ceased to be amazed over the thousands of species of fish.
The Capital was the most beautiful building in DC.
The second most beautiful? My future home, bwahaha.
The art museum boggled my mind, and I only had the chance to see a fraction of it. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to take picture, but I did buy some mini art.
I got a panda! His name is Sungjin.
Here’s a pretty cool view from the Old Post office.
Arlington Cemetary was so eery. I searched for a view where you couldn't see endless tombstones, but failed. Not even a panaramic view would do it justice.
The tomb of the unknown was just as eery, but beautiful. The dedication our country has to freedom and those who died for it is extraordinary.
On the way back from DC, I checked out Messiah College. I have to say it’s awesome, and the top college I want to go to. Unfortunately, it’s the hardest to get into, but no worries! That’s what SAT studying and community service is for.
Are you guys doing anything this President's week?

Good riddance, meat.
I’m going veg (with a bit of treehugger in there *cue gasp card*). Meat and bread used to be the only things I would eat. Bleck, not anymore. Let me explain where I’m coming from before you pound me with the food pyramid.
Yesterday, my cat died. We were at the vets to put her down because she was having respiratory problems, but she was having so much trouble breathing and anxiety that she suffocated before they could give her the IV shot. So we never officially got to tell her goodbye and I still wanted to even though she was dead. Have you ever been in a room with death? Smelled death? Stroked death? Held death? Kissed death? I have. As I held my dead cat, I looked at her and thought, "How could anyone eat you? How could anyone eat an animal? A dead animal?" From that disturbing question that perpetually reverberates in my mind, I cannot eat meat anymore.
Good riddance.
Put your food pyramids down! There are other places to get protein. And do you know how hard meat is on your digestive system? Eggs pwn meat.

RIP Girlie
RIP Girlie. She was so cute when she sleeped.
Instead of focusing on the negatives, I’ll set a lighter spirit. I sat down at the computer, bummed and emotionally numb, but then I remembered. The blueberry mini muffins in my lunch bag Kate forced me to take. Kind of cheered up, I took the bag and started eating them. Sounds like a cheesy way to cheer me up, but it was meaningful to me. Kate is a new friend of mine and she’s already expressed that she is a trustworthy, loyal, and fun person. My lamenting for what was lost was replaced by thankfulness of what I have.

My own Personal Jessica ®
Ok, I swear it’s not as bad as it looks. Here’s how the conversation went.
Caleb: Hey, Jessica, get over here. I need help with math.
Me: *looks at the problem* I don’t know how to explain it mathematically. Uh, for me it’s just best if I guess-and-check.
Caleb: Oh, ok… *thinks about it* How about 5?
Me: Ok, try it.
Caleb: *tries it* Whoa, it’s right! Isn’t it?
Me: *thinks for a second* Yep. 5. See guess-and-check works!
Caleb: Ya, if I ask you if it’s right.
Me: Ya, you just need your own personal Jessica.
And thus, that picture was born. (Caleb drew it.) So someday, you will have your own Personal Jessica ® in a store near you. Coming soon: The Jessica Wig ® for all the people who want her awesome hair.

Sanctuary
Featured song of the playlist above: Sanctuary by Utada Hiraku
wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I (I need more affection than you know)
In you and I there's a new land,
Angels in flight
wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I (I need more affection than you know)
my sanctuary, my sanctuary, yeah
Where fears and lies melt away
Music will tie,
Wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I (I need more affection than you know)
What's left of me
What's left of me now
I watch you fast asleep,
All I fear means nothing
In you and I there's a new land,
Angels in flight
wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I (I need more affection than you know)
my sanctuary, my sanctuary, yeah
Where fears and lies melt away
Music will tie,
wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I (I need more affection than you know)
What's left of me
What's left of me
snwod dna spu ynam os (So many ups and downs)
My heart's a battleground
snoitome eurt deen I (I need true emotions)
wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I (I need more affection than you know)
snoitome eurt deen I (I need true emotions)
You showed me how to see,
That nothing is whole and nothing is broken,
In you and I there's a new land
Angels in flight
wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I (I need more affection than you know)
my sanctuary, my sanctuary, yeah
Where fears and lies melt away
Music in time
wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I (I need more affection than you know)
What's left of me
What's left of me now
My fears, my lies
Melt away...
wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I (I need more affection than you know)

Let me kiss you so I can let go. Give me everything I want so I can leave. Shut up and let me go.

I love you so much. Don't make me hate you like this. Don't reject me. Why was I created as such a delicate creature? Take away my heart.

My cat is going through a lot of pain. She's old and it's her time to go. Pretty soon, we'll put her to sleep. Poor Girlie. :(
