Needs and Wants

That last entry... yeah... I guess I don't want to talk about it. I wouldn't even know what to say. Mike was there for me. That's all I needed.

So I'm into my third week of sophomore year and my first year in Japanese. Lightly speaking, it's intense. This semester is already shaping up so much better than last. I've actually made friends this time around. Well, Rika became my friend last semester, so I shouldn't downplay it that much. I've met Deanna, a girl who is also taking Japanese and met Liv, Kaityn, and Jessica Kimbell at Tekko. I don't see her all that often because our class got split up, but I still hang out with her every now and then. Same with Rika. But mostly I hang out with Genevra, Jon Rennie's old girlfriend. I met her at Tekko last semester, and she happens to be in my Japanese recitation. We usually hang out 3-5 times a week, which is really nice. She's a very interesting person. Bi-curious, as she calls it, magical (apparently has mythical creature bloodlines), and really, very lovely. I'm happy to have her as a friend.

I hung out with Genevra after Japanese lecture today and we had Chinese in Schenley Plaza. There was this wonder artist playing her piano. It was so beautiful, I bought one of her CDs. Her name is Joy Ike and she's an extremely talented musician/singer who majored in Communications. lol.

Liv came by a couple weekends ago. She's getting tutored by Sensei every few weekends or so, so she stayed over. She did the thing she's always wanted to do with me: she got me to talk. It didn't really make me feel any different about the things I talked about, but she gave me some much needed insight. Like how she and Chelsea both need me. The Chelsea part surprised me, but Liv said it's because I rescued her from her house so often. I didn't even think about that. The other thing that she made me realize was my infatuation with Min. It's not a "I want him" type thing, but almost a "I used to know him and am drawn to him" thing. I really don't know how to describe it, but it's there.

I finially looked up the catholic's view on reincarnation. Reincarnation is a purely human concept that falls under the same categories as astrology and palm reading. It can be easily summed up (for me anyway) with "It is appointed that human beings die once, and after this the judgment" (Heb. 9:27). Makes sense to me if I really think about it. The human soul is something precious; it wouldn't get reused and recycled.
