Why Spring Awakening?!

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Autumn in New York, why does it seem so inviting?

Mon, 20 Oct 2008 21:44:15 GMT

The falling leaves drift by the window
The autumn leaves of red and gold
I see your lips, the summer kisses
The sun-burned hands I used to hold

Since you went away the days grow long
And soon Ill hear old winters song
But I miss you most of all my darling
When autumn leaves start to fall

Cest une chanson, qui nous ressemble
Toi tu maimais et je taimais
Nous vivions tous, les deux ensemble
Toi que maimais moi qui taimais
Mais la vie spare ceux qui saiment
Tout doucement sans faire de bruit
Et la mer efface sur le sable les pas des amants dsunis

4th of July

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 15:39:08 GMT

To celebrate this day of independence, I'm working at the place I depend on for money...
how ironic!

how come this is the only day people say the number before the month? no one ever says, "oh, it is the 8th of July." Is there some signifiance? or is it just a catchier way to say it?

I wish I had atleast one day off this weekend. I mean, I really wanted to go shopping to catch all of these awesome sales. Plus, I need to get a new iPod asap. Rose's party is sunday and I'm "mucho mucho mucho" excited! Mainly because I just want to steal her science fair project collage that her mama made for her =P But really, why must I work 7-1 before then? gimme a break! I feel like I have a zillion things I want to do and absolutely no time to accomplish any because I'm slowly watching my summer sift by as I serve people linzar tarts or get attacked by horse flies as I'm "guarding."

It this time, last year, I was packing for UArts. I would have left tomorrow, actually. I remember I was so nervous and anxious to meet new people and learn. I have no vacations or anything this summer. But I kind of like that I suppose. Between my classes that start Monday and Work, I rather spend my free time doing nothing with my friends. =)

this entry was a waste & complaining about work is frivilrous. I should be grateful to have employment w/ a good income (considering) and something to keep me busy & my mind off things. I'm just writing this to kill time before I have to go downstairs and face my family. infact, this will be deleted, amongst the previous 3 entries sooner than later.

I was a hopeless romantic, now I'm just turning tricks

Fri, 04 Jul 2008 05:22:40 GMT

I just want to get rid of this lonely, bitter, empty, person I've become.
I can't let anyone in and I don't know how to fix that.
I just want to forget. Start over. or something.

I feel like I can't talk to anyone without feeling like I'm wasting or taking up their time. I mean, real talk. I love how I can be with my friends and kind of escape reality for awhile. But lately, I just want to cry. I want to skip the BS conversation and just sit there, not alone. and no one wants to be with someone who is a debby downer. but I can't help what I'm feeling. I don't think I could cry infront of someone now even if I tried. I don't trust or feel or have that safety net anymore. I am a wall of numbness. Whenever someone tries to get in, I turn them away. I'm not ready. yet I need change.

I'm just confused alot lately.
Nothing makes sense anymore.
Nothing adds up.
I feel so selfish for having these emotions when I have some of the most genuine friends I've ever had. But, something is missing and I know only I can find it.
I hope I don't display any of this publicly..
it is more of an inner-conflict-of-unhappiness.
I try to get rid of it by passing time.
I try to stop feeling like a jerk or acting like one.
I can't breathe sometimes.

it's the night time I hate the most.

I need to escape reality.
Please, just take me away.

All your life, you were only waiting for this moment to be free..

Sat, 28 Jun 2008 04:44:34 GMT

Prom might have possibly been the best way to celebrate the last 12 years of my life with the class of 2008..and now in a couple of hours I'm graduating with them!

Sometimes it feels good to just hop on the train with friends and escape to the city with no real destination. Kind of just take in all of the beautiful people and things surrounding you in the perfect weather. Someone once said that it's "people not places that make the best memories" but what if you're with amazing people in an amazing place?!That's just a feeling I want to hold on to forever.

A day I'll always remember;
Thanks for letting me be a part of the epic adventure guys <3

There is so much beauty on the Island that blossoms in Spring time.
Literally & Metaphorically.

I'm on fire and now I think I'm ready to bust a move.

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 03:53:48 GMT

Betty can’t quit carving question marks in her wrist; How come we’re so alone?
We waste away the days with nicotine and television samples from an era
we hate to admit we embrace.
We fail to represent.
We fail to be content.
We fail at everything we ever even try to attempt.
And so the story goes, as only Betty knows
It’s time to take control...GET DOWN!

I have ISS tomorrow. I've never even had a detention.
But hey, I did say 4th quarter was going to be a time for new beginnings & I guess spending my whole school day in an isolated room is qualified as something new.

On a brighter note, I'm excited slash sad for the Jazz concert tomorrow night. I feel like no one really knows their parts in any of the songs and we don't blend as well as we used it. But maybe that's just from a group members perspective & not the audiences. But I mean, Mrs. Stead always works her ass off meanwhile there are ppl who will sit down every day b/c "they are tired." I just want tomorrow to go over well. and I want her to be really satisifed. and I just want it to be a really good closing concert because it was a class that has been more than good to me. Sometimes when we are all lazy and tired in class, she will turn off the lights and we all sing in the dark. She mentioned once that it would be really awesome if we had a lamp to put on the piano for some peaceful light. So, for her present from the Seniors I made a lampshade that has piano keys & music notes across it with purple incorporated in honor of Mr. Rakowski. I really hope she likes it.

Have you ever walked on the docks in the rain at night?
Just closed your eyes and walked-
tuning out everything but the sound of the ocean. and water hitting the sand.
It makes you feel like you're part of the waves.
Flowing with the current-
with no concern of direction because all waves eventually touch ground.
and the cycle continues.

I'm a flowing wave.
My cycles just begun.

Things are shaping up to be Pretty.Odd.

Fri, 11 Apr 2008 04:54:23 GMT

Some lyrics from parts of my favorite songs currently on the new Pretty.Odd. CD
I needed to put them on here.

Take a chance, take your shoes off, dance in the rain
And I was flashing around and the news spread all over town
I'm not complaining that it's raining, I'm just saying that I like it a lot
More than you think, if the sun would come out and sing with me
_____________________________

Losing the feeling of feeling unique
Do you know what I mean?
Back to the place where we used to say,
"Man it feels good to feel this way"
Now I know what I mean
Your eyes are the size of the moon
You could 'cause you can so you do
We're feeling so good, just the way that we do
When it's nine in the afternoon
_____________________________

So he said, "Would it be all right
If we just sat and talked for a little while
If in exchange for your time
I give you this smile?"

So she said, "That's okay
As long as you can make a promise
Not to break my little heart
Or leave me all alone in the summer."
_____________________________________

The ink is running toward the page
It's chasin' off the days
Look back at boat feet
And that winding knee
I missed your skin when you were east
You clicked your heels and wished for me

Through playful lips made of yarn
That fragile Capricorn
Unraveled words like moths upon old scarves
I know the world's a broken bone
But melt your headaches, call it home

Hey moon, please forget to fall down
Hey moon, don't you go down
_________________________________

She held the world upon a string
But she didn't ever hold me
Spun the stars on her fingernails
But it never made her happy
Cause she couldn't ever have me
She said she won the world at a carnival
But she could never win me
Cause she couldn't ever catch me
_________________________________

Things are shaping up to be pretty odd.
Little deaths in musical beds.
So it seems I'm someone I've never met.

everybody gets there and everybody gets their way.
I never said I missed her when everybody kissed her,
Now I'm the only one to blame.

Things have changed for me, and that's okay.
I feel the same, I'm on my way, and I say.

___________________________________________
You've never been so divine
In accepting your defeat
And I've never been more scared to be alone
If love is not enough to put my enemies to sleep
Then I'm putting out the lantern
Find your own way back home

I keep bleeding

Mon, 31 Mar 2008 23:18:47 GMT

Closed off from love, I didn’t need the pain.
Once or twice was enough, And it was all in vain
Time starts to pass, Before you know it you’re f r o z e n.

But something happened for the very first time with you
My heart melts into the ground; Found something TRUE.
And everyone’s looking round thinking I’m going crazy

But I don’t care what they say
I’m in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don’t know the truth

My heart’s crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I Keep bleeding

Trying hard not to hear
But they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds fill my ears
Try to fill me with doubt
Yet I know that the goal
Is to keep me from falling

But nothing’s greater
Than the rush that comes with your embrace
And in this world of loneliness
I see your face
Yet everyone around me
Thinks that I’m going crazy, maybe, maybe

But I don’t care what they say,
I’m in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don’t know the truth
My heart’s crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I...Keep bleeding

And it’s draining all of me
Oh they find it hard to believe
I’ll be wearing these scars
For everyone to see

I don’t care what they say
I’m in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don’t know the truth
My heart’s crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing

Mon, 31 Mar 2008 02:57:04 GMT

I'm a fucking idiot.
