Conversation in the car

i'm bashed.

woke up @ 5 in the morning to send pete to the aiport -- that boy is going back to greece for a 2 weeks vacation.

normally when i have to wake up that early, i will not be in a very pleasant mood. however, during that half an hour car ride to the airport, we were chatting more than we expected. we talked and talked and talked... about work and the funny thing is that ---- the topics only revolved around ONE particular person.

i came back and can't stop wondering..how can we humans keep our topics solely on this one person for months... for years; and we never got tired discussing about them? that is pretty interesting

back in tucson, is also the exact same situtation.

that person, their thinkings and the ways they do things must be really really out of this world. that is the only conclusion i can make.

so anyway, pete was pretty frustrated with whatever he was doing and seriously needed a vacation.

he made a comment just now ---> carol, i like you.

OKAY STOP. DON'T THINK OTHERWISE. THERE IS NOTHING GOING ON BET US.
MARK IS STILL THE ONE IN MY LIFE.

pete is a person who take things way way too seriously. when things aren't going right, it affects him alot.

for me, i have already mastered the art of zooming out stuff when i get out of the office and life's short, i don't want to let things upset me and worry for things 24/7... but too bad, that boy can't do it.
life's not only short, is seriously unpredictable. i used to also take alot of things seriously but after the death of my grandpa, i have learned to let go.

and also God is in control, no matter what, i will be fine.

so he told me ---- i like you. i like how you can be cheerful and optimistic most of the time.

well, between being (angry, upset, worrisome) and (optimistic, happy, live for the moment), i chose the latter.
