Busiest weekend ever!
First of all I want to share my 5k results from a few weeks ago. I totally forgot to write them as I was in the beginnings of a terrible, emotional break-up. Actually, it felt like he dumped me off at the curb and drove away laughing, heckling, in fact. Big ouch.
So here are my St. Pat's 5k results:
Gun time: 25:48.5
Pace: 8:20 (YAHOO!!)
Overall place: 653 (out of 2104)
Division place: 146 (out of 758)
Gender place: 185 (out of 1176)
This past weekend was full of excitement and busy-ness. Friday afternoon I stayed on campus and watched "Y tu mamá también" which proved to be quite an entertaining movie. I recommend it if you think you can handle a movie about two teenage boys and an older woman finding their ways in life in regards to friendship, adventure and sex. Three things I admit are worth enjoying! Later that night I met my cousin Angie for Rachel's play, "Stepping Out". It was hilarious! It was about a group of adults taking tap dance lessons and bringing all their personal baggage with them...I'm sure you can imagine the drama that ensued! Not to mention the dance class had one male, the poor bugger. After the show Angie and I hit up a local pub, shared some fried mozzarella cheese sticks (can you believe I ate those!?!) and a drink. We got checked out by some skeevy local old dudes, who claimed that even they needed to get laid...and as one guy ogled my body I felt a strange urge to give him the stink eye and spit in his face. But I didn't, and all ended peacefully.
Saturday morning I volunteered in the community - in a place that is a foster home for young males who exhibit inappropriate sexual behavior (i.e. they've sexually abused others) and also for new immigrants without parents. I may not have that description correct, but it's my best recollection of facts. I was with a group of about 12 fellow students, painting three rooms and a porch, cleaning the yard and tearing down a shed. I did the indoor painting and some of the porch painting. It was C-C-COLD that day and I did NOT want to be outside! It was good and I met a very nice guy (who's very easy on the eyes!) who works in the center as a program leader.
After my community service I came home to shower and eat lunch. I ended up cooking an African stew called Berebere stew. It's meant to be made with lentils and chunks of beef, but I used black, kidney and lima beans and ground turkey instead. I use what's on hand! It has an interesting taste and I will eat all of it, but I might not make it again :) Half of it is in the freezer for the next showing, haha.
Sunday morning I went to the lake to watch my alma mater team race against WPI and Bates...f*ing Bates. I will always be bitter against them for winning the silver at New England's freshman year by a bow ball, and leaving us with the bronze. I am sure they were on the drive while we were on the recovery. Not intentionally of course! Alas, a medal is a medal and they produce good rowers, thus deserve what good results come from hard work. But this time our guys won some Bates shirts - YAHOO! Way to go boys!
After the races I changed up quickly and head to Clark for the Latino Film Festival. I watched two movies: "Morirse está en Hebreo" y "Tocar el cielo". La semana pasada miré "Nuestros Desaparecidos," un buen documentario sobre los desaparecidos del Argentina como resultado de la dictadura militar de los años 70. Oops, sorry about that...I guess I'm thinking in Spanish, jeje. I just said that last week I saw "Our Disappeared," a wonderful documentary about the Argentinians who went missing during the military dictatorship of the 70's. All of the movies I saw at the film festival were impressive, and individually unique. I cried and laughed a lot, alternating between the two. I hope that you will be able to see these films someday. Actually, "Nuestros Desaparecidos" will be shown soon on PBS, so keep your eyes open and remotes ready! It's worth a view, especially if you're like me (and most people in my American generation), and don't know anything of the history of Argentina's dictatorships, military rule and concentration camps. Yes...concentration camps.
At the end of the day J and E were having a party at the house to celebrate J's quarter of a century birthday, yippee! I cleaned my room, mingled with the party, enjoyed a Strongbow and we played Rock Band all night. I was the lead singer with a bandful of guys (we rocked!) and when the guests left J, E and I came together for a Partridge Family-style band night. Awww, how precious!
All in all, a fabulous weekend. But full to the brim and lead to a Monday of being WAY TOO OVERTIRED (and grumpy, hehe) but I am relaxed and now going to bed! Chau chau for now now!

When...
When new love quickly becomes old love, lost love, why do thoughts of previous lovers re-enter our minds? Do we seek our "security blankets" with whom we had shared so many past experiences? What could they possibly offer us when we had so quickly pulled the rug up from under their feet? Isn't it just an endless web of giving and taking our love...sharing and separating...wanting and then losing? At some point, this vicious cycle ends for most people. I know that for me there will be a day, and until that day comes I wait patiently...re-visiting old memories, discovering new hopes and dreams, continually searching my soul for who I am now and who I will be when....
