Excerpt from a great book. I'm such a hopeless romantic. [31 May 2005|02:03am]
'No there is too much about Leon that my heart tells me to be cautious about.'
'What does your heart tell you?' asked Lidia.
When I didn't answer she said, 'That's the miracle of love -- that when there are so many reasons not to love someone, we still love.'

[ music | Simon & Garfunkel // Bridge Over Troubled Waters ]

the first person in your life
to ever really matter
is saying the last thing
that you want to hear
and you are listening hard
through the splintering shards
of your life as it shatters

I wrote this awhile back.. thought I'd post it.



I want to tell you how I loved you before
we even met and how I think of you
at school and tears start flowing because
I want to go home and wait for
you to come pick me up and I want to
tell you how you make me sane
and how you make me crazy

I want you to know that together
we could cure MD or start a new
religion or move to Ireland

I am the lucky one
because in life, you hardly ever
get what you want

I like how sometimes you talk
and talk until I can hardly understand
where you started, but I still think
I know where we're going

and I want you to know that I wish
I knew how to garden so that I could
give you flowers everyday
lillies in the spring
daises in the summer
and pumpkins in the fall

and I forgot to tell you that I sometimes
compose songs to the sound of your
heart beating in 3-4 time against my ear
which makes me forget everything
I wanted to tell you

you're so vain [07 May 2005|08:34pm]

[ music | Everlast // Black Jesus ]

I just realized this morning that I spend more time on finding the 'right' pair of socks (3 minutes) then I did planning the rest of my entire outfit (10 seconds) and putting it on (circa 1 minute). It's a wonder that I don't go to school everyday with plaid pants and a bright orange&red stripped shirt on. Of course, the socks are completely in sync and look lovely.

Ahh well.. that's the price you have to pay for my kind of beauty. I'm low maintence, bitches!!

Ha ha ha








YOU MAKE ME SO HAPPY!

i'm a pixie
i'm a paperdoll
i'm a cartoon
i'm a chipper cheerful free for all
and i light up a room
i'm the color me happy girl
miss live and let live
and when they're out for blood
i always give

the man behind the counter looks like he's got
a half a dozen places he'd rather be
and furthermore it looks like he's prepared
to take it all out on me
buddy, i don't really care what your problem is
just don't make it mine
come on kids, lets all hold hands
and pretend we're having a good time

maybe you don't like your job
maybe you didn't get enough sleep
well, nobody likes their job
nobody got enough sleep
maybe you just had
the worst day of your life
but, you know, there's no excuse
and there's no excuse
so just suck up and be nice


all the privileged white kids on tv
playing at death
brandishing their cold cuts
with their ghostly makeup
and their heroin breath
and all the little fishes are flapping wildly
on their hooks
while all the top critics find great meaning
in the telephone book

the little emperor has no clothes
so he can't come out to play
and besides which life is suffering
and he likes it that way
and the little guy is not so friendly
but you know life has been cruel
so wipe that smile off your face baby
and try to be cool

maybe you don't like your job
maybe you didn't get enough sleep
well, nobody likes their job
nobody got enough sleep
maybe you just had
the worst day of your life
but, you know, there's no escape
and there's no excuse
so just suck up and be nice


yeah, i would like to perfect the art
of being studiously aloof
like life is just a boring chore
and i am living proof
i could join forces with an army
of ornery hipsters
but then i guess i'd be out of a job
so i guess that's out of the picture

coz i'm a pixie
i'm a paperdoll
i'm a cartoon
i'm a chipper cheerful free for all
and i light up a room
i'm the color me happy girl
miss live and let live
and when they're out for blood
i always give

Zoolander has got to be the most idiotic & stupid movie that I have ever seen. How does this shat make it past producers? On the plus side, I played around with my hair when I was watching it, and it looks B-E-A-UTIFUL! lol.

I ought to get back to studying. =/

Going over to Andrea's at 5. YAHOOO! That will be fun.

Later ya'll. I'm not going to post OR comment until after my exams. Don't miss me too much.

I don't understand happy people. You know, those genuinely happy ones? Like the ones you just want to punch because their smile is starting to blind you?

Anyways.

I met this couple --Trish & Danny (don't they already SOUND like a happy couple? JUST BY THE FREAKING NAME?!?!)-- yesterday, while I was out with a walk with Bailey and they were jogging around, one of them pushing their 2 year old, Maggie, in a stroller while jogging. They are your average 30somethings attempting to climb the yuppie-ladder one healthy day at a time. First thing Danny said to me was a whooping "HEY THERE!!!" and then to Bailey, "OOO HI BUDDY!" He reminded me of those corny people from those Air Bud movies my little sister is constantly renting.

So today, they brought a doggie biscuit for Bailey because they "thought they would see me and wanted to say 'Hi' and chat with me." WHAT? I'm so not used to people being this nice with a goofy smile to boot. Maybe I'll get a babysitting job out of this. OOO THAT WOULD BE SO COOL! =)

I mean, I like to be happy. But thats slightly crazy. I have everything I want except a nice guy with a good heart, an intelligent mind, amazing cheekbones, and kind eyes. Oh yeah. And the new Tori Amos CD. I'm fine with that. Trish & Danny are extremests! (sp?) I think they think that they are living the perfect life. Is there such a thing? REALLY!







AHH! AP WORLD TEST IN EXACTLY ONE WEEK! IF YOU'RE THE PRAYING TYPE, PRAY FOR ME!!
I need a 4 or 5 or else I have to pay for the exam. Yikes!

pablo honey... [20 Apr 2005|05:12pm]
I know I post a lot of lyrics etc. but, hell, I love Radiohead.




Please forget the words I just blurted out
It wasn't me, it was a strange and creeping doubt
It keeps rattling my cage
There's nothing in the world to keep it down

Even though I might,
Even though I try,
I can't

So many things that keep, keep me underground
So many words that I, that I can never find

If you give up on me now,
I'll be gutted like I never have before

Even though I might,
Even though I try
I can't

more ani difranco lyrics... [19 Apr 2005|07:04pm]
[ mood | creative ]
[ music | Everlast - Put Your Lights On ]

I want somebody who sees the pointlessness
and still keeps their purpose in mind
I want somebody who has a tortured soul
some of the time

I want somebody who will either put out for me
or put me out of my misery
or maybe just put it all to words
and make me go, you know
I never heard it put that way
make me say, what did you just say?

I want somebody who can hold my interest
hold it and never let it go
someone who can flatten me with a kiss
that hits like a fist

or a sentence, that stops me like a birck wall

if you hear me talking
listen to what I'm not saying
if you hear me playing guitar
listen to what I'm not playing
don't ask me to put words
to all the spaces between notes
in fact if you have to ask, forget it
do it and you'll regret it

I'm tired of being the interesting one
I'm tired of having fun for two
just lay yourself on the line
and I might lay myself down by you
but don't sit behind your eyes
and wait for me to surprise you

I want somebody who can make me
scream until its funny
give me a run for my money
I want someone who can
twist me up in knots
tell me, for the woman who has everything
what have you got?

I want someone who's not afraid of me
or anyone else
in other words I want someone
who's not afraid of themself

do you think I'm asking too much?





Blah day. New pope, that's really cool. He seems ready for it so yay. Realized that this year is almost at an end and I'm REALLY SCARED! haha. AP World test is two weeks from today. Gulp. We just started the 1900's last week. Anyways, I LOVE SHAKESPEARE!! And I'm out.. laters.
