this morning i awoke to the frosty chill of the bay area air. i was sure that i could fall asleep any moment, but hours went by and to no success. katie and i agreed to get breakfast and sat with clifton. there was an awkward silence. the moment eddie sat down i felt so much more talkative. the moment natalie, al, and jess came, the table came alive. i wonder if it's me sometimes, but i guess there are certain people to whom i can talk. after katie and natalie left, jess, al and i continued our conversation before getting our stuff for the staff meeting. we found out we have a 10:30 meeting! woot woot. afterwards, team clifton met to discuss mr. and mrs. asa. we figured out line up and songs. gosh, it is AWESOME haha. i met up with ane, maria, hannah and ellen to go to brazilian cafe for lunch. i shouldn't have eaten the pb&j sandwich because i was hella full. i didn't eat. so we walked to the bart to get tickets and then we went to the crepes place on telegraph (i want to say crepes go go?). hannah let me try a bite of her nutella and sugar crepe, god bless her soul. it was so good. then i went back to figure out the songs list and at 4:15ish, katie and i took a walk before i had to go back at 5 to set up. around 5:30ish, we went to dinner and 6:15 we set up. i let john wear my dress and by 8 we were done setting up. mr. and mrs. asa was a success! i played music and there were some minor bloops, but all in all, good times. linus and elsa won! so they got a pizza party afterwards in the office. i helped clean up and set up for mia's birthday party at check in. good times. good times.
sometimes i wonder what goes through a person's mind. how is it that if boy likes girl and girl likes boy, it can't be that simple? there is timing. there are games. there are other people's feelings. we should just bring back arranged marriages. that way, you just deal with it and grow to love a person regardless of the flaws and irks - it's all you get. (though i don't actually think i could ever believe in this)

"In this globe-scattered Sri Lankan family, we speak only of two kinds of marriage. The first is the Arranged Marriage. The second is the Love Marriage. In reality, there is a whole spectrum in between, but most of us spend years running away from the first towards the second. [p. 3]"

Dear Helen,
It is with some urgency that I write to you now, for our time here grows short as the great ocean tide shifts under the moon's luminous glow. Alas! I fear that you and I will be swept out by this tide, and thrashed underneath the sea's ancient lore.
Yet, when I look into your eyes, as deep as wells and as beautiful as a thousand golden suns, I realize that nothing short of Poseidon's breathe could fetter our courtship. For like the moon and earth, you and I are irrevocably linked, now and forever.
Let me be "to the point," so to speak, which is to speak only my heart: it is my intention to marry you, Helen.
Tomorrow, I wish to formalize an agreement, formally and in writing, that shall allow our courtship to take a more ordered and sensible form.
Yours,
The Maestro
I'm gunnin' for the Maestro's head. AH HA HA HA HA. AH HA HA HA HA.
