paradox.
I never understand myself. This is a problem. If _I_ don't understand myself...how can I expect others to? I guess I can't.
Here's an example. I think female friends are the most important thing ever. I strive hard to keep up my friendships, both near and far. I email, I call, I write down birthdays on my calendar, and I spend time and effort to visit with them.
On the flip side-I also think female relationships can be the most frustrating, difficult thing to form in the entire world. I think women are weird, and petty, and confusing, and I do everything in my power to avoid hanging out with large groups of them (unless they are my college friends...that has been tested, and I know it's usually safe.)
Here's another example. I can't stand people being self-righteous about things.
On the other side...I think sometimes I get self-righteous about not being self-righteous about things. sigh.
Anyways. I'm sure everyone is paradoxial (is that a word?) about some things, but it seems I have my fair share of them.
My brain is still kind of bored. I can't wait to go to Georgetown with Liz tomorrow.

friday i used the word paradox while counseling with a kid.... i think (no, in fact i KNOW) it was inspired by reading your blog that morning. good stuff... ;)
The word is "paradoxical". I'm now feeling very self-righteous for knowing that.
