i just haven't been feeling like writing, as of late. i don't know what it is because i certainly don't think any less of what i think. ;) i have had a friend in town. one of my nyu classmates is here with her sister. they have been staying with me for the last two nights, and they leave tomorrow, my tuesday. i will be very sad when they leave, and probably uber-homesick. the couple i'm boarding with have been really neat and generous with the guests. and we've had a great time sitting around at night, after dinner, and just talking about socialism and stuff. but if i keep eating like this and staying up all night talking, it's going to put a big fat damper on my plans. it's all good while my friends are here, though.

in other news, i think i almost died today. i'm really not taking very well to this scuba thing. we put on our gear and did shit on the bottom of this dive pool -- about 12 feet deep. after 20 minutes, this tingling sensation went up my arms and my legs all the way up to my chest. and my hands were cramping up like i was having a siezure. it was very scary and i had to come up to the surface. i don't know if i was getting too much oxygen or too little. all that i know is i'm on the verge of quitting scuba. sometimes, life is worth too much to risk it like this, and sometimes you're just too old to learn certain new tricks. i'm keen to start rafting.
