So anyway, one night it was sitting on my dresser, and I kept feeling really weird about it. I had to hide it in a drawer... let's just say I didn't keep it!

One of my friends just laughed at me when I told her about my 200th post....
They say that they don't get this whole "blue crack thing".
Lemonchick said:Buddhism Day....
It really was an interesting day...we started off by watching a movie-Little Buddha...I really enjoyed it but the people behind me wouldn't stop talking...so that was annoying.
I'm fascinated by Buddhism...especially their concept of dettachment...and how you can free yourself from suffering when you don't attach yourself to anything. I don't quite get it...because the way I was raised I think i was practically programmed to be attached...but in Buddhism they make Mandalas with sand, and they're these beautiful pieces of art...but they just blow them away when they're done-because like that they make room for more mandalas to come. For more thoughts...because when we get attached we don't allow energies and thoughts to flow freely through our beings...
By freeing yourself from suffering you free your mind from the eternal cycle of rebirth and you reach enlightenment...or something like that.
But it's so hard not to be attached...I can't imagine myself not being attached to some of the things I'm a part of...It's so hard to just let go....
All those concepts messed with my brain for a while.
Then we saw another presentation of Buddhists symbols...and traditons...and things like that. I like how everything they do seems to have a meaning..
Meditation was by far the best part...It's something I wanna try again, maybe for a longer period of time...the first 15 minutes were really hard...I couldn't really stop thinking..but after that something happened...and I became more aware of my body...I could feel my heart beating, I could feel the blood flowing through me...it was strange...but then time was up and I had to go to the next workshop. Even when I was walking to the other classroom I felt so light headed...but balanced..at peace...it was a good feeling.
Japanese flower arrangements were fun. I like the fact that they have a certain structure that is meant to create peace, and harmony, and stillness...
Now I'm even more interested in oriental culture....it's so fascinating.

I think I need to build up my running staminia.....
I can't wait to get to college so that I can use their exercise equipment, and get on some sort of a routine. I like programs, but I don't know enough about one to make one work at this moment in time.....

Does it ever happen to you...that when you listen to U2...you have these moments...where the music just seems to grab you...I don't know how to describe it....but I always end up thinking...this is such an amazing thing...it's like magic of some sort....
