so. last night was fantastic. like, the chili cook-off was aight...i'm still gonna have to pay like, $20  because people wouldn't buy tickets from me. sad. but then, i got to go out to dinner w/ mayah and a bunch of other people for her birthday, and it was mucho divertido. but to my great surprise, guess who was bellied-up to the bar, tippin' back a cold one? freakin' Mr. Huffman...dude...it's so weird to see teachers outside of school...especially when they are slightly tipsy....ahahahahahahahahahhahaa...j/k.

so after that, i was happy, but also kinda upset that i hadn't gotten to see a certain friend all week. but sinced he called during dinner, i called him back, only to discover that we were on the same side of town...like, the same street, so we met at Hastings' and it was mucho fun also. i just love talking/listening to certain people. so yeah. that was such a God thing. very encouraging! well anyways. yeah. life's good. once again...i just can't make this thing go away. i wish i could read people's minds. i just hate not knowing how someone really feels about me. but i guess i'll live. maybe one day they'll finally tell me once and for all. maybe i'll tell them. who knows? question: is it better to tell someone how you feel, and risk hurting the relationship, or should one just hope and pray that they feeling is mutual and go on silently? c'mon now, i want answers from ya'll. much love---Cari
