Quote of the Day: August 31st, 2005:

fly the ocean in a silver plane,
See the jungle when it's wet with rain,
Just remember till you're home again
-You belong to me.

-Jason Wade (off the Shrek soundtrack.)

Quote of the Day: August 30th, 2005:

This was just a moment in the woods-

Our moment;

Shimmering and lovely and sad.

Leave the moment, just be glad

For the moment that we had.

Every moment is of moment

When you're in the woods.

-Into The Woods

I've never seen scars like yours."

A photo.

My roomate and I in the library. See, we're productive good kids. At least that's what this picture is supposed to prove.

PS This photo was taken by the coolest man alive, John Burke.

Devotion,

To causing a commotion,

Creation,

Vacation,

-The Futureheads


(things just aren't that clear.)

Quote of the Day: August 24th, 2005:

"He wanted to heat up the truth, to make it burn so hot that you would feel exactly what he felt. For Rat Kiley, I think, facts were formed by sensation, not the other way around."

-Tim O'Brien

Quote of the Day: August 23rd, 2005:

"In my mind I tell the time by the moments you let me down."

Awesome.

I heart Ayn Rand's relationships.

"Tragedy sets you free..."

-The Goo Goo Dolls





(Funny how not uncommon this turns out to be.)

Quote of the Day: August 20th, 2005:

Kiss me too fiercely,
Hold me too tight,
I meed help beliving
You're with me tonight.
My wildest dreams
Could not forsee
Lying beside you,
With you wanting me...

-Wicked

I guess sometimes I just want to make a mistake.


PS- Sorry for the sporadic.

Quote of the Day: August 18th, 2005:

"What do we leave behind when we cross each frontier? Each moment seems split in two; melancholy for what was left behind and the excitement of entering a new land. "

-The Motorcycle Diaries


(Gael Garcia Bernal is way sexy, first off, and secondly, this is timely for me now.)

Orientation started today, I don't meet people easily, it's going to take me a while. I talked to a few kids today, a girl from France, a boy from Chicago, just small brief moments of conversation or shared silence or a walk, oh and another theatre girl from Oregon. (?) Anyway, it's coming, slowly. I hate having to make new friends. I love having them, when it comes naturally. Like with Ali or Roberto.

So much for that. I really did have great plans for this post. But sorry, this is it.

Quote of the Day: August 16th, 2005:

"Why are you so far away?" she said.
"Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you,
That I'm in love with you"

-The Cure


I was watching Vh1 classic music videos channel yesterday.


PS- I'm in Pittsburgh right now, sitting at the airport. Yay for free wireless internet connections, eh?

Maybe it's just me but I think this blog needed a little rainbow.

Quote of the Day: August 15th, 2005:

"So this is strange,
Our sidestepping has come to be a brilliant dance
Where nobody leads at all."

-Dashboard Confessional

(I almost only wanted the "so this is strange" part, it fits, today.)

Today is my last day here, for now.

Last #4:

4. Last time I'll hang out and drink tea in Lauren's kitchen with Lauren and Katie and lots of Ben and Jerry's.

Quote of the Day: August 14th, 2005

The whispered conversations
In overcrowded hallways,
The atmosphere
As thrilling here
As always.
Feel the early morning madness,
Feel the magic in the making,
Why, everything's as if we never said
Goodbye.

-Sunset Boulevard

Last #3:

3. Last day of work in the Gunbarrel office.

Last #2:

2. Last night killing time at Target with Katie, Erin, Jacki and Jennie.

Quote of the Day: August 12th, 2005

Samantha: Real emotion transcends language Jerry. You don't have to understand their words to hear their pain.

-The Mexican

(The story behind this is Samantha and Jerry are stuck in Mexico, Jerry lost his passport, and so they're in the hotel room, and Samantha is watching a really melodramatic Mexican soap opera. Jerry has just told her to turn it off, it's not like she understands it anyway.)


If you haven't seen this movie already, stop everything you're doing right now and go rent it. Seriously.

Last #1:

I'll start a collection of lasts. I'll number them, then, starting now. Only the important lasts, of course.


1. Last time I'll ever be emo with Michael Sotkin.

Word of Advice:

I don't know if this affects you who are reading this, quite frankly, I don't even know who does read this. But if you read this, and you value my friendship, don't tell me stories of things you did while you were drunk/stoned/under any sort of chemical influence.

No, I do not want to hear about your vomit. No, I do not want to hear about that girl who jumped on you. No, I don't want to hear ANY of it. So don't mention it, ok?

Now, I know I'm being a bit over the top. Yes, it does bother me more than it should. But thinking back, there are reasons for why it bothers me, and it sucks that I'm still carrying around that baggage, but I am, and maybe I always will. So please just drop it, alright?

It makes me lose a whole lot of respect for you.

And I know some of you probably can't afford to lose any of the respect I have for you (i.e. I don't respect you much to start off with.)

Lasts

I measure my life in lasts.

The last time you'll hug me.
The last time I'll see you make that face.
The last late night eating junk and playing games.
The last word I'll type on this keyboard.
The last German conversation I'll overhear you say.
The last time I'll ever straighten your shirt.
The last time I'll ever watch him do yoga.
The last time I'll ever see them swap clothing.
The last time those leaves will blow in the wind, just like this.
The last time I'll wait here silently in the dark and watch this dance.
The last kiss.

(it never really lasts.)

Quote of the Day: August 11th, 2005:

Angel: Were we in love?
Cordelia: We were.


-Angel Season 4. Episode: Spin The Bottle

I guess lately on that show there's just been some interesting things going on, psychologically. The whole Gunn/Fred thing was amazing, with Fred's professor, when I watched that yesterday I seriously stopped breathing for a little bit. It was amazing.

Quote of the Day: August 10th, 2005:

"I want to hear you
call my name
it's too easy
just to say it soft."

-Ani DiFranco



bleh?

Quote of the Day: August 9th, 2005

"She says she's no good with words, but I'm worse."

-Fall Out Boy

(good song.)

Quote of the Day: August 7th, 2005

"My emotions were bottled up inside, so I uncorked the bottle, and poured it into a glass of music."

-Harry and the Potters





Today was good, I feel, as far as interpersonal relationships and organization go.

Quote of the Day: August 6th, 2005:

Bésame, bésame mucho,
Como si fuera esta noche la última vez.
Besame, besame mucho,
Que tengo miedo perderte,
Perderte otra vez.

Quiero tenerte muy
Cerca, mirarme en tus
Ojos, verte junto a mí,
Piensa que tal vez
Mañana yo ya estaré
Lejos, muy lejos de ti.

Bésame, bésame mucho,
Como si fuera esta noche la última vez.
Bésame mucho,
Que tengo miedo perderte,
Perderte después.

-Consuelo Velazquez

Quote of the Day: August 5th, 2005:

"And it's you and me and all of the people,
And I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you."

-Lifehouse


Oh man, tonight I went to the symphony and to a Harry and the Potters concert. Both were amazing.

Quote of the Day: August 4th, 2005:

You tell me it's nothing,
You tell me it's hopeless,

This is something that you did not need now, baby,

And all of your friends say that you can do better,
Still you want to call me every night now, darling,
When we're out in public, you act like a stranger,
Still I hang on every step you take now baby
I tell you you're perfect, you try to ignore me,
It's like we're straight out of fiction writing.

Will you be my girl for at least tonight?
We can stay awake through the sunrise,
We can stay up dreraming, like I did last night,
Just listen, you're smiling,
I hope you always look at me this way.

I'm driving in circles, I'm trying to forget you.
No, it's something that I did not want now, baby.
You tell me you're leaving,
That you don't belong here,
Say that everything is changing around you, darling.
That day you returned and you decided to call me
You love the ocean more than you love breathing and me.
I said you're leaving Chicago, I told you you're crazy,
Said you'll find me down in Carolina.

Chorus, etc...

-The Translation

Going Away To College

Please take me by the hand,
It's so cold out tonight.
I'll put blankets on the bed,
I won't turn out the light,
Just don't forget to think about me and I won't forget you,
"I'll write you once a week," she said.

Why does it feel the same to fall in love and break it off?
And if young love is just a game, then I must have missed the kick-off,
Don't depend on me to ever follow through on anything, but
I'd go through hell for you.

-Blink 182

Going away to college.

Everyone's doing it.

Quote of the Day: August 3rd, 2005

"Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got till it's gone?"

(Shut up if I've used this already. I probably have.)


Anyway, I miss New York already, I missed it the second I left, I miss the Harrises, I miss it all.
