    like a fool
    what should i do? i feel like a fool. but i really want this. and i think it's o.k. that i do. i don't think there's anything wrong with it. i guess i just feel foolish coming back to it like this. so sudden. so desperately. i don't want him to see me as desperate. i just want to be with him a while. but he doesn't even know it cuz i can't get a hold of him. i tried. and tried. which made me feel even dumber, not being able to reach him. i have no idea what he's going to think of this. or if i'll ever know. if we'll get in touch in time. i really only have one more day. and there's a good chance it's not going to work out. and if we see each other in another context, i know nothing can happen. i really hope he calls. and i hope he understands. the frustrating thing is even if i do get to talk to him, it's only going to be an hour's notice, and who knows what his situation is going to be. i'm gonna go read...or draw... cuz i can't just sit with my mind so exposed to thoughts of him.

    two fools...two jokers. that's us.

    "Ah...good taste. Taste is the enemy of creativity." -Pablo Picasso
    so...i know it's like 3 in the morning and all, but i just have to say...i am officially in love with IFC. heh. i just watched two movies in a row on that station. they show damn good movies, i tell ya! the first one was called All Over the Guy, and it was about relationships - probably one of the most genuine depiction of a relationship i've ever seen a movie portray. pretty good. then i watched this crazy animated one called I Married a Strange Person. lol it was hilarious...er, also pretty sexual and violent, but very funny and clever nonetheless. it offered up these ridiculous explanations of belly button lint and tears. so clever and so far from the truth - it was awesome! wish i could have the quotes from the movie - maybe i'll google it or something. also, this woman actually had a fish in her fishnet tights. and there was this store Glass Land, where they had this sign up: 'You break it, you bought it!' Funny thing was, the store was all these martini glasses stacked in pyramids throughout the room - it was practically impossible to even walk a foot into the store without breaking one of those barely balanced glasses. my favorite part was when they had these three guys in this television studio place presenting their ideas for a new t.v. show to the owner of the studio. the first guy's genius show was "belch opera"...pretty self-explanatory heh. the second dude's show was called "amoeba wrestling"...once again, speaks for itself. and the third guy's absurd but rather comedic show was "rocks in love". :-p so the studio owner hates all of their ideas and has each of them beat up or something, and all of a sudden this smile stretches across all the way to his ears, and he shouts, "I've got it! 'The Belching Amoeba Rocks in Love'!" :-D hehehe. good stuff. so yeah, i'll be tuning in to IFC lots more now. should get some shuteye though - might be a good idea. i caught a glimpse of the sunrise this morning..er..yesterday morning, and it was breathtaking. made me want to wake up earlier, not sleep in so long. anyway, i'll be lucky if i make it up by noon, at this rate, so night night. IFC'll still be on tomorrow. ...unless a suicidal bird flies through the window, instead of into it, and precedes miraculously to fly through the t.v. screen as well tomorrow... which...well... chances of that happening. slim, i'd say. ~.^

    damn good lyrics. i gotta get me a bryan adams c.d.
    Bryan Adams
    Back To You



    I've been down - I've been beat
    I've been so tired-that I could not speak
    I've been so lost thatt I could not see
    I wanted things that were out of reach
    then I found you and you helped me through
    and ya showed me what to do
    And that's why I'm comin' back to you...

    Like a star that guides a ship across the ocean
    that's how your love will take me home back to you
    And if I wish upon that star - someday I'll be where you are
    I know that day is coming soon - ya, I'm coming back to you.
    You've been alone, but ya did not show it
    You've been in pain, but did not know it
    Let me do what I needed to - you were there when I needed you
    Mighta let you down, mighta messed you round
    but ya never changed your point of view
    and that's why I'm comin' back to you...

    I'm coming back to you
    I'm coming back to you
    I'm coming back to you
    That day is coming soon

    I'm coming back to you

    i think my favorite bryan adams song is "Everything I Do - I Do It For You" Although... "Please Forgive Me" and "Have you ever really loved a woman"...those are damn good too. :-p anyway, gosh i'm not tired at all. I'll put the lyrics to "Have you ever.." in the next entry.

    July 1, 2005, journal entry
    How many hours of my life have i spent staring at the ceiling? Scrutinizing the corners of rooms, interviewing (secretly) shapes of faces in the tile, laughing at a joke the wall told me when everyone else was talking about things that didn't interest me...how acquainted have i become with the floor? The rugs that lie so effortlessly, and the dolls that smile regardless, sitting pretty, sitting still. Still...sitting, though, like me. I can relate more easily to the contents of a room and the room itself--the space, even, that it provides, shadows behind doors, and i can see the shadows behind eyes. Other people don't seem to see these things. Is there something wrong with me? There lives this sadness underneath it all, underneath everything. But they don't seem to notice. It's just me, and sadly, something tells me, it's always going to be just me. Alone. It seems, i am my only true friend. And, sometimes, knowing a thing like that--it's enough to kill a girl.

    Wonder
    What's going to happen? Do I want to know? :/ Wish wishes just came true, but then life would be a lie. Am I o.k. alone? Sure. ...right? I mean I've got a lot more confidence than some girls. And being single def. has its advantages. But...is it what I want? Easy answer - no. But is something long distance what I want either? Maybe. I mean I'd be up for it and willing, I think, but not sure it's what's best. And I'm scared. I'm scared that I don't mean as much as I think I do. I fear...I fear a lot. I fear the future. Don't tell me, but what's going to happen, I wonder.

    squirm
    so i've been thinking about moments lately. well, more, what i do in a certain moment. and why i do what i do, or don't do what i don't do. and how come it's almost as if there are two separate mes - the one in a moment, and the one that's outside of the moment. i try to make them blend, i really do, but it's not all that easy. you can't just blend two selves. it doesn't work that way. i mean, if it was that easy, i probably wouldn't have any regrets or anything. but i do. i do have regrets. the thing about regrets though - they're only regrets because you did what you did or didn't do what you didn't do in that moment, in that self. you can't really change that. you can't change who you are in a moment. i mean, i guess you could if you were really thinking and not just acting or reacting. but like i said, it's not easy. it's not always so easy to think. i mean, before you act and all. because someone says something or does something and if you don't respond or if you don't react, and you're just standing there, thinking, you're not gonna get through to anyone. they'll just walk away or squirm around uncomfortably in the unanticipated silence. interactions don't work that way. moments just don't work that way. ya know?

    smashing shameless plastic smiles
    The art of experiences and easy
    spirit emerges
    houses of exits and things to get done
    if you're lucky, there's a corner
    a symbol of freedom
    to star on
    and detours around ignorance
    that he displays so innocently
    a destination of quality
    reached through greedy quantity
    and shameless plastic smiles

    I have no idea where all that ^ came from, but it just seemed to write itself down. Not sure it makes much, if any, sense. But now it has inspired me to go write some more, some more sentences with more sense in them, but nonetheless I shall return later. And I am going to see if I can't get Prin to allow us to get on Livejournal there, cuz I really miss it. I'm on break now, which is how I'm making an entrance...er, entry. I don't know how to make an entrance, not without stumbling at least. I'm queen of faux pas, if you don't know me.

    la la la

    good knight, and to all a good night

    down to this
    what i have to say about this life
    is i am speechless half the time
    and if i could put it into words i might
    but some things are just too beautiful
    like your eyes when i am talking to you

    what i have to say about justice in this country
    is it's like beauty - it's in the eye
    of the beholder
    fair is as fair does
    don't worry, you'll understand it
    when you're older

    and crime is simply a meeting of the minds
    cuz you know you weren't the only one
    who had murder in mind
    and you know you weren't the only one
    standing in the line
    of fire
    guilt burns
    and then it dithers down
    when you realize it's just a trip
    a trap set by the sleeping guards
    who convinced themselves
    you wouldn't get away with it

    but keys in hand, death row is liberating itself
    one by one, in the line
    of fire

    if death is freedom, then
    so is chickenwire

    and i'm not saying i admire
    killers, but i guess that's the catch
    killer is as killer does
    so why don't you throw your guns
    to the hungry dogs
    and yell, go fetch!

    cuz they'll all fight to bite the bullet
    just like every prisoner is forced to do
    facing the fact that they just weren't that in touch
    with why the caged bird sings
    couldn't even live it vicariously through their victim
    had to find it out for themselves
    how the confinement of unbendable, metal bars
    is painful but necessary
    punishment for their lack of moral education

    who decides what is just though?
    who decides what is fair?
    power is a gun in hand
    power is the largest plot of land
    power is not as power does
    and that's the one exception to the saying

    but what i have to say is this:

    i may be speechless half the time
    but i never stop thinking
    and the other half i'm choosing my words wisely

    so in the end it all comes down to this:

    wise is as wise does
    and it's the choices we make
    not out of hate, but out of love
    that are going to change this world

    but some things are just too beautiful
    like my eyes when i am talking to you

    "akimbo" by ani
    what dreams cause me
    to abandon my pillow each night?
    push away each of them, in fact
    since there always seem to be more than one
    then wake to aching stiff neck twisted
    tits and face smashed against the mattress
    legs and arms akimbo
    like the high pitched body of a jumper
    waiting for her chalk outline
    finally at rest

    Current Mood: sleepy
