Addiction

The Call by Regina Spektor
*I am in love with this song*

It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word
And then that word grew louder and louder
'Til it was a battle cry

I'll come back
When you call me
No need to say goodbye

Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never
Been this way before
All you can do is try to know
Who your friends are
As you head off to the war
Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light

You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say good bye

You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say good bye

Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget
Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
'Til they're before your eyes

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say good bye

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say good bye

Powderpuff

I am very sore. I wish we played football with pads and helmets because girls don't block very nicely. My knees hurt already. But I blocked for our winning touchdown, so it was all worth it. Go Smashing Pumpkins! :)

I am a Lame-O

Maybe I should update...

I want to run away and not come back. Here is what I want to do (not by myself, I have one or two preferred people in mind to come with me):

I want to run away and live in a little cottage in a little town on the coast. I want to take walks on the beach, hike in nature, work in a little bookstore, make scrumptious coffee drinks, and lay in the sand (on a towel of course because I hate getting all sandy). I want to take naps in the sun and to read a book in the rain. I want to write to my heart's content on a shiny white MacBook (which I don't have) and have long meaningful talks with that someone. I want to decorate the cottage with thrift store furniture and eclectic artwork. I want to take long bike rides and I want to listen to Ben Folds and the like over and over. I want to go swimming until I'm wrinkly and I want to play the piano until my fingers drop off. That's what I want to do. But I have an overdeveloped sense of responsibility and so I will stay here at FPU (which I love) for three more years. Maybe I can do it then.

I have a lot to do in school this semester. I feel like I don't have much time for socializing and I feel guilty when I do because there's so many better (read: more A+ friendly) things I should be doing. It will be better next semester. Maybe I can actually make more friends than just two, both of whom I love with all my heart (Jenny and Lora, you know who you are. Well, yes, especially because I just said your names :).

But. I am looking forward to powderpuff greatly. Hopefully my team will not lose every game this year like we did last year. Our first game is on Thursday, which is actually really anoying because the SC game is on Thursday also. And it's at the same time as my game. Oh, ESPN, why do you want a Thursday game? And the Office starts on Thursday which makes me super happy.

So, in conclusion...my life is busy, go Trojans, I like handbells because I get to play the big bells, and I want to leave. Yay. :)

The Call

Who wants to run away with me?

LIfe, wherefore art thou?

Okay, I do have a life. Evidenced by the fact that I went houseboating and not evidenced by the amount of blogging I've been doing. So this weekend I went parasailing also and it was amazing. A little bit of air-sickness ensued, but it was pretty cool anyway. I think, as Kendra said, I've found a new hobby. :) I also got a little sunburn that will hopefully turn into a tan. And I ate a huge amount of meat, which included a delicious steak. Thanks Caleb. Your steak was great and your verses were inspiring. See how I'm kissing up to you? If you ever feel like getting rid of a MacBook, you know who your real friends are. No, I'm not using you. Okay, I'll stop hinting at something you can't get me. I'm still your friend. Maybe I should write this in an email to Caleb instead of on my public blog. Oh well. Too late.

So this summer, I might go to Maryland to work at a summer camp. Ideal position there: counselor for 2nd and 3rd graders. Jenny (roommate) and I would drive cross-country back there and work together. Well, she would be a lifeguard or something to do with the water there. But we would still be together. I'm pretty excited to see if it works out, because I'm dying to do something adventurous, something to have stories about. And I want to do something different.

My life seems to be changing. In a good way. :)

Oh Technology, thou makes for funny things

So I'm not trying to make fun of anyone here, but I really got a kick out of a comment left on my sister's blog.

"Hey, I have something really important to tell you. Can you get on IM ASAP?"


It's so amusing that technology has taken over the younger generation. Again, this was not meant to mock or be mean or belittling. It was simply funny.

Back

Hello, it's been a while since I've updated, mostly due to the fact that I am ridiculously busy and right now I have stuff to do, so I am merrily procrastinating. Why is it that as soon as I get to school and tons of things happen, I have nothing to say? Oh, I won't be listed as editor of The Book anymore. But I could care less, at this point. It's over and done, and I don't really care. Um...let's see...I'm going houseboating this weekend...Yay!...my writing tutor job is taking up all my time...I'm having a great time in Creative Writing: Fiction writing short stories...I love my roommate Jenny...Death At A Funeral is a really really funny movie (if you don't mind about 100 uses of the f-word that is)...Hick's Lake was very good; you wish you were my friend so I could tell you why it was so good...I need to go clean and do homework...
