so i'm giddy in a glorious way. giddy such that i haven't stopped grinning for hours, even when me and sid were talking about sadder things standing like explorers atop of that grate in the middle of the quad with the sun all hazy in our eyes and a faint breeze gripping the ends of our hair. just a thin grate separating us from a hundred feet deep ( Read more... )

that's how i feel today. right now. what is it, almost 8 p.m. you know things are going to go down a bad path when at 3 p.m you realize you've been at school for almost nine hours. it was beautiful today and we had one of my classes outside to escape the drilling in our classroom. i talked to a professor who annoys me and it ended up being mildly ( Read more... )

i noticed him on the first day of class, mostly because he was so tall with this head of the most gorgeous honey colored locks. and then he looked back to listen to me talk about god knows what and smiled. i've stared at the back of his head for the past two weeks until somehow we were thrown together. he showed up at the meeting i was running.

and last night, right when i was feeling at my lowest, with soap stinging my eyes and hunched over the sink, a friend who lives thousands of miles away from me called. and it was late and his voice was thick with sleep and i love how he does this. calls the second i need to hear his voice. he has a wonderful knack for it, when he was here across he ( Read more... )

we set out to beat the man but instead he beat us down. that was unfortunate. and frustrating. institutionalized buracracy (and the fact that i still don't know how to spell it)has a way of making even the best day seem ridiculous. we tried though, we really did. we tried logic and petitions and understanding and all of that jazz but that's all it ( Read more... )

sundays are for bike rides and baking and friends. movie marathons with a gargantuan amount of food are also good. but most of all, to me, sundays mean phone calls. late night drives. sleepy conversation ( Read more... )

i guess maybe what everyone needs once in awhile is to just know, with no strings attached, that someone cares. that someone will be there when things are rough or lovely or anything. that someone is a friend ( Read more... )

i almost couldn't make it. letting go and turning to watch him step back into that little green honda civic. and close the door. smiling sadly and reaching up to grab that kiss i blew. it felt so...final. the clicking of my heart to autopilot, the slammig of his door, that strange twitch that pulled his mouth down and up so fast that i almost ( Read more... )

so things happen and you just can't seem to stop them. or want to. like falling. sometimes it hurts a lot and still you can't seem to stop. i tried to stop, but instead i only made myself and everyone around me miserable. so i stopped trying to stop and decided to let things go the way the must. and we were at that beautiful cabin in the woods, ( Read more... )
