[ mood | Generally...Weird ]
[ music | While My Guitar Gently Weeps - Beatles ]

(Why would you) leave remnants of yourself dotted here
As if accidental (I'm sure they were)
In case I'd forget otherwise (I'm sure I won't)
Crawling under the bed
Hiding under piles of my own disorganization
Intermingling and tainting everything
Infected with those precious few items of junk
Soiled with your scent
And it's all terribly erratic.

They remind me of how we hung here -
Laid there, cocooned in each other
Speaking in tangents too sparse to be named conversation
Making excuses
But Tell-Tale and Know-All hung in the air
Stayed there
Haunting us
Like memories of things which are yet to pass.

I don't know if this is a current affair
or
A change-of-channel insight to the future
I could sell these pieces of you as memorabilia
Some bric-a-brac in a dirty backstreet market
To reflect their worth
And ours.

Or we could die a myth buried in each other's dust.

new crush. I'll figure it out eventually. We'll see how it goes.

Her smile is amazing, and she nearly has me melting when i talk to her. (Which isn't enough. I'm making an effort).

Anyways, we'll see if anything can happen. i certainly hope so.

I seriously just watched the greatest movie ever. It's simply brilliant. And Matt Dillon is super cool. The ending is amazing, it just keeps ending, in so many different ways. If you haven't seen Employee of the Month, go get it. Right now!

[ music | Good ol' Stevie Wonder. Gotta Love it ]

I just got wind of the fact i won a contest. Amazing, eh? It was a short story contest, with theme being "love bites", or "dark love". Some of the entries were fab, and some....weren't so fab. Anyways, i didn't really expect to win, but voila! I'm not getting any money (oh poo!), but i will get publication in a national/online magazine, and that always looks good on college applications. I figured i'd post it for you guys to read it, and hopefully give constructive criticism, because i don't believe it's that good. I'll post the link the magazine when it is released, sometime in mid february. I'll put it behind a cut, because i don't want you guys to have to scroll through it, if you don't want to read it. (which hopefully, won't happen, because i know y'all want to read it)

[ music | September - Earth Wind & Fire (Ba Dee Ah) ]

I needed to make a new entry, to show off my entirely new layout. Just because it is so tight. I figured i would do that lame song lyric thing, because its easy. Except for the fact i don't listen to mainstream music, so it might be hard to guess. Anyway, y'all know the rules

Guess the lyrics

1. Ooh, you were meant to be near me. Ooh, I really want for you to hear me. Say we'll be together every day.

2. Forever, forever find my darling. True love is written in the stone. Never, never find my darling. Never you be alone.

3. Let's stay, at home, and listen to some sexy soul. Just the two of us, alone. There's nowhere else i'd rather go.

4. Once you get a taste, there's no turning back. You can be on your own, or you can run with the pack. But the time we'll come, to clean up your act.

5. After what you've meant to me, Ooh baby now, I can make it easily, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know that we both agree, Best thing to happen to you, The best thing that happened to me.

6. As my life goes on i believe Somehow something's changed. Something deep inside. Ooh a part of me

7. If you leave me now, you’ll take away the biggest part of me. No baby please don’t go. And if you leave me now, you’ll take away the very heart of me. No baby please don’t go.

8. If you think of her as joan of arc. She’s burning for you, get your car out of park. If you think of her as catherine the great. Then you should be the horse to help her meet her fate. If you need her, you should be there.

9. Anyone perfect must be lying, anything easy has its cost. Anyone plain can be lovely, anyone loved can be lost. What if I lost my direction? What if I lost sense of time? What if I nursed this infection? Maybe the worst is behind

10. But I don't tend to worry 'bout the things that other people say. And I'm learning that I wouldn't want it any other way. Call me crazy but it really doesn't matter. All that matters to me is she.

11. Another night at the palace ’cause there is nothing else to do. The same people, the same drinks and the same music, the same quicksand. I think this harbour town is waist deep and sinking fast.

12. We gave her everything we owned just to sit at her table, just a smile would lighten everything

13. You know that what you eat you are. But what is sweet now turns so sour. We all know ob-bla-di-bla-da. but can you show me where you are

14. Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes. They call me on and on across the universe. Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box

15. Paranoia strikes deep. Into your life it will creep. It starts when you're always afraid. You step out of line, the man come and take you away.



It's not like there's a lot of variation between bands. But it's not like this actually that important to me. Guess please. It'll make me feel wanted.

I have this obsession with Parenthesis [
Monday

(L is a little thing)

It’s just I loved you in small short doses,
Never enough for you to know, or see or care
But it was there, At least I think it was there...
So I can’t blame you for never, ever noticing.

I picked it up, and toyed with it for a while
This ‘love’ that is, but the very sound of it,
Even the little thought of it, was subtly, but completely
Absolutely absurd. So I put it away,
And tucked it up to keep me warm for a rainy day
(but it just grew grey, and cold.)

And now it goes on, this thing
This tucked up cold, dead wee thing inside of me
It wrings its hands and worries
And rouses a sickening feeling inside of me
‘Love’ that is, it screams love and oozes love
And bleeds love and occasionally feels love.
But it doesn’t know love, not really

Because it can’t really, because I don't it know either.
So if you ever wondered, or wished or whatevered
At the thought of my love, either way, receiving or giving
It was there, in short, sharp bursts, an inconsistent tapping,
A gentle gnawing at my heart, I just never really found that it was,
That it was significant enough to show you.

So i'm back. And i had fun. Pics and summary coming later, when i've slept. But i figured i'd let everone know. And put this up, which is to no one in particular...i just felt like writing.

(Untitled as of now)

Maybe they are a breath of wind that whispers across a creek,
Or maybe the silent thunder of ants stomping their tiny feet.
Vaporized kisses hang on the trees and fall from the big blue sky.
They touch a radiant flower and noone can see them but I.
They could be the stillness that comes before a storm,
Or they could be a wave cascading on the shore.
Faded hands and an endearing soul are all that remain of me.
Many a mortal looks away but only the unique can see.
Vaporized Kisses are consumed in my lungs,
and give life to my beautiful heart.
They fly around each other like lovers who cannot bear to be apart.
Maybe they are an eagle amidst an evening flight,
Or maybe they are the awesome force behind the Northern Lights

I feel like such an LJ whore now, after updating 5 times in 2 days or so...its unlike me. Plus, who ACTUALLY reads this stuff. But, i figured it would be interesting...Anyways, it's 11:30, 30 minutes before 2005...and i just got back from a party, because i have homework to do, and i'm leaving for Hawaii on Sunday, so i'll go to bed at midnight. This 'party' i went to was quite fun actually. It was a Murder Mystery party with my mom, my sister, her best friend, her best friend's parents, and me. (6 people). Sammi, Caitlin (my sister's bff), played the part of Lotte, a German...and there was much discussion about how to pronounce her name. Whether it was La-Tee, La-Tae (like the coffee), or Latta. It was all in good fun. I ended up trying to kill her, and she tried to kill Henri, a frenchman, and it was either you were having an affair with everyone or, you were trying to kill everyone. It turns out that Peggy, Sammi's mom, had done the dirty deed, and i was innocent, even though i was a secret spy for Britain...anyways. It's hard to explain...but i have pictures!!!

Who Dunnit? )
Kinda ironic i finish this at midnight, eh?

I'm so incredibly proud of myself, i finished my term paper and my DBQ. It's great when you have motivation to do things. It's even better when there are two sources of motivation. Gotta do excellent jobs on these to get into college, because i already decided what college i want to go to, and it's going to be hella hard to get in. And to the other source, you know who you are....

I was in mood for writing, even though i can't get ANY work done on my history DBQ (except the first 4 paragraphs, but shush). Anyways, here we go:

Engulfed and Exhumed from Sleep

I'm engulfed in that horizon,
The one you always look towards.
Now this ritual evolves to a habit,
Only half-heartedly performed.
Your eyes hold cloudy disinterest,
Cataracts hastening your voluntary blindess,
and draining all the colors of the sky.
The horizon where I was.

There is not just the distance that seperates us,
but hours as quick like drips from faucets,
or slow like creaking doors.
How long are your hours,
and how short are your days?
Rarely acknowledged,
like strangers walking down busy impersonal streets,
We barely talk, barely touch.
Afraid of contact, verbal or otherwise.

It's almost as if...
We have this prenuptual agreement,
To snare our snatches of sleep
in spontaneous intervals.
I'm waking when your drifting off,
or I'm falling into black hole comas.
Because it's a balancing act at times,
to live and learn and sleep.

Yet there are times,
moments torn between,
my dreaming and waking.
When thoughts and observances are unclear,
when limbs move involuntarily,
spasm, twitch, spasm, twitch,
that I'll feel your arms around me.
At times my face is buried in your hair,
and I feel the rise and fall of your chest.

I swear there is an imprint,
faint creases in the unoccupied side of my bed.
To keep me company in lifetimes of insomnia,
phantoms, illusions of comfort.
We never seem to coincide,
not even in our seperate worlds of sleep.



Anyways, i think i'm in love, with winter break as well. And Hawaii is in a few days, (Sunday) so that's super exciting. I kinda wish i could skip in time to Sunday, but have all my homework done...and go slow-mo at the one part where i might see this person...but we all know we can't do that. I guess i'm not so good at putting more than 5 sentences together about life, it wouldn't be coherent anyways, not that there is much. Anyways, comment on the above, please.

UPDATE: I have a new cousin, and its the only one that lives in LA. Samuel (Sammy) Ray Tressider was born this Monday morning, at 1 AM, weighing 8 pounds, 4 oz. He was 21 inches long. Here's a pic.


Is he SOOOO cute, or what?
