January 2011

It would be impossible for me to try to describe what’s been going on the past few days, and I’m certainly not going to attempt it right now. Maybe a little later. Maybe distance will bring perspective, or maybe it won’t. All we know is that we miss you and this whole ordeal in itself is literally unmanageable. I’m managing like I do all things…by attempting to retain...

“Unbelievable you, impossible me.”

– Fourth of July, James Taylor

things standing between me and 5:15 ET, Friday...

I HATE YOU, UKULELE

why will you not let me just write a damn song? whyyy?

Just A Boy - Angus & Julia Stone

weird coincidence of the day

saw someone on the bus today, sitting in front of me. listening to the exact same Animal Collective song as I was, at the exact same time. it’s one of those things where you obviously don’t know the person, but you wanna tap them on the shoulder and hold up your iPod and be like ahhhhh *raises eyebrows* *opens mouth wide in excitement* *thoroughly creeps out other people on the bus* ...

alexkastanas asked: UNLESS it's like a time turner situation, and they have to avoid seeing their former selves. maybe they are all around, but we don't know they're from the future because that would fuck everything up. ??????????? my brain hurts

REAL TRIPPY THOUGHTZZZ

it’s pretty clear that we as humans are never going to invent time travel BECAUSE if we do, people from the future would be here now, visiting!! WHAT ….unless they’re hiding. which could be a whole different ballgame. WHATTTT

things I'm wondering about

do we keep everything going for the sheer tradition of it? what things am I doing right now that I actually want to do? how can I tell? it’s not possible to be completely free of outside influence. true individualism can’t really exist, unless you are born on a deserted island, your mother dies before you can form memories of her, you somehow survive, and you live the rest of your...

it was so like you to visit me always worried about someone else

happiness is a warm...glowstick?

Yesterday was a monumental date in my college career. No, not the first day of class, or my first big research paper, or anything like that, but rather…my first college rave! Normally, that’s not really my thing, but surprisingly I had a pretty good time. More importantly, I’m really starting to feel more at home here. The doldrums of second semester/January blues are coming to...

alexkastanas asked: so that vid with Leighton... I have some things to say about it

1) she will always be Blair Waldorf to me, so I just keep expecting to see Chuck and instead Robin Thicke is in that limp. do not like.
2) she looks like a slutty Bernadette Peters in the video?

I miss you. glad your bf is joining you next yurr.

big day big day

enamouravecamour asked: Never ever? oh no!

5. Favorite band?

I’ve never, ever, ever, ever received a question in my ask box! Pick your jaw up off the floor, I’m just as gobsmacked. Also, I’d like one. Maybe. If you want? Hit that button.

I find you annoying

but it’s really more of a me problem

Me and Spanish have always had this…relationship. Let’s call it love/hate, or rather, love/like-as-a-friend. I have spent hours of my life courting this stupid language; there have been Saturday nights alone with it, emotional reunions, not to mention desperate begging for it to just let me into its life. After all the sleepless nights, what do I get? B plusses. Seriously? Literally...

Today I was spacing out, and pondering how even though yesterday was hugely sucky, today’s suckiness quotient might be reduced. I had a little…philosophical epiphany. A philiphany, if you will. I realized that what makes a strong person strong isn’t necessarily overcoming great odds or overwhelming adversity or being a blind paraplegic first chair violinist. To be strong, you...

I’m going to get a B in this damn Spanish class this year. I can already tell. Whyyyyyyyyyyy All I want is an A. Please? DISAPPROVAL

new theme for a bit may change back later, but I guess I just get bored easily.

sufjan has an MFA. so much respect for that. wish I had the sense of security to pursue that kind of thing.
