wish I was pounding out a new beat
I trade my old shoes for new feet
I grab a new seat
don't like the one I got
the fabric's wearing through
and it's wearing me out
you're wearing me down
you're wearing me down
so watch your head, baby
and watch the ground
it's a silly time to learn to swim when you start to drown

it makes a difference
that I'm feeling this way
with plenty to think about
and so little to say

what is a love
if the love's not my own?
this is not my home
this is lonely
but never alone

then I want to know 
I want to know
will it make a difference
when I go?

So here I am, "working". I'm not allowed to work at Somerby anymore, since my mom is now ( Read more... )

So, I spent the last five days in New Jersey for the NCAA Women's Rowing Championships, and it was one of the best trips I've had in my life. On Wednesday we found out that our regularly scheduled hotel was overbooked, so they gave us a free night in the Doral Forrestal, a hotel/spa where the rooms run about $300. Too bad they couldn't throw in a ( Read more... )

Random things:
Conversations with Laura are always enlightening.
My ribs feel better today.
I can't wait until school is over.
No matter what you say (or don't say), the ball is officially out of my court.

if I'd say
go your own way, I'll be with you
make mistakes and I'll forgive you
home is waiting here for you when you return

this is the last ( Read more... )

So...just kidding about those pictures. Maybe they'll turn up someday. I'm really happy that we won all of our races today, but it also sucks, because I couldn't race. I have a potential stress fracture in my rib. It basically hurts to move. I know I said this already when I hurt my back, but...please don't tell me I can't row. I waited a long time ( Read more... )

I can't believe I only posted once in the entire month of March, but there it is. An actual update will come soon, with pictures from my four (!) days of filming this past week! In the meantime, I'll be editing and writing papers. Fun!

isn't very difficult to see why
you are the way you are
doesn't take a genius
to realize that sometimes life is hard

It's been three days since we got back from Georgia, and I really miss it. I miss the sunny weather and tanning by the pool between practices and our sketchy motel with no water pressure and IHOP with my parents and listening to 95.5 The Beat on our way to the boathouse. I come back here with all this work to do, and I have to walk to class in 50 ( Read more... )

Less than a week until spring break. Where has my semester gone? It just breezes by while I try to keep up with my movie and crew and school. Actually, at the moment, I'm not overwhelmed with schoolwork. I just feel bogged down with life in general. My dad has to have surgery, and I worry about that, among other things. We talked about John 14 in ( Read more... )
