[pleasant musings of a rainy day]

Then there was rain
The sky wore a veil of gold and green
Night was the bride of a lonely day
Time just floated

Then there was rain
The sound foundations are crumbling
To the ground comes a pyramid tumbling
Time just floated away
We can watch it and stay
And we can listen

Oh rainy day come round
Sometimes I just want it to slow down
And we're separated now (I'm down)
But I love when you come over to the house
I love it when you come over to my house

Then there was rain
I spent the night with the queen of Spain
My lonely little heart well it broke again
Time so vicious

The deeper that the knife goes in
The more you win
You end up with less than where you begin
The deeper that the knife goes in

Oh rainy day come round
Sometimes I just want it to slow down
We're separated now
And oh but I love it when you come over to the house
I love it when you come over to my house

And I love it when you come over to the house
I love it when you come over to my house



[lyrics by Berryman, Buckland, Champion, Martin]

"...but Jo felt quite in her element, and found it very difficult to refrain from imitating the gentlemanly attitudes, phrases, and feats, which seemed more natural to her than the decorums prescribed for young ladies. They all liked Jo immensely, but never fell in love with her, though very few escaped without paying the tribute of a sentimental sigh or two at Amy's shrine."

whhhheeeeeew.

all of these people are getting *married.* my friends and peers. It would be almost too much if I weren't so terribly excited about it all.

3 days

Guild time = (check. "Gamma Rays." <3)
Girl time = (check. Tony Hale / roadtrip.)
Boy time = (check. "AD" and conversations. so badly needed)
Baby time = (there will never be enough.)
Brother time = (band practice with Ross and a 20 minute phone call from Major McFadden today!)
Could use some seester time and bestfriend time, and a waltz....but I think I'm ok. I have all this stuff, and my bills are paid, and I'm kind of looking forward to moving into my apartment. Meeting my roomie. Putting my name on the audition sign-up sheet in the Hub. Venturing out into unknown waters.

But first I gotta go sing like Gwen Stefani and look for boots.

[I just don't understand people. This is probably good]

-

My best friend and I sometimes swap phrases and their meanings in different languages. I in French, he in Spanish, one of us will remark on how similar it is, and he will explain this by showing how they both come from Latin.

I always ask him if he is excited about something, which he never is.

And I ask him ridiculous rhetorical questions to which, when he deigns to answer, the response is always very calm and practical.

I suppose that's all part of our charm?

*shrug*
^_^

Some day I plan to get him to be very excited, very hardworking, very motivated, and able to make decisions quickly. Among other things. We'll see.

nothing brings out the isolation like
common sense,
character,
and nonobsessions with technology and being in love.

oh, and summer school doesn't help.

I never loved nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting my heart truly
I got lost in the sounds
I hear in my mind
All these voices
I hear in my mind all these words
I hear in my mind all this music

And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
And it breaks my heart
It breaks my heart

And suppose I never ever met you
Suppose we never fell in love
Suppose I never ever let you kiss me so sweet and so soft
Suppose I never ever saw you
Suppose we never ever called
Suppose I kept on singing love songs just to break my own fall
Just to break my fall
Just to break my fall
Break my fall
Break my fall

All my friends say that of course its gonna get better
Gonna get better
Better better better better
Better better better

I never love nobody fully
Always one foot on the ground
And by protecting by heart truly
I got lost
In the sounds
I hear in my mind
All these voices
I hear in my mind all these words
I hear in my mind
All this music
And it breaks my heart
It breaks my heart

I hear in my mind all of these voices
I hear in my mind all of these words
I hear in my mind all of this music

Breaks my
Heart
Breaks my heart
