That's right

I do what I want

...sorry for the disappointment.

[edit]: So I am officially declaring my undying love for campus squirrels. They're everywhere. They watch you, you watch them. They brighten my day no matter what.

Midterm grades today... 2 A's 3 B's.... could have been much better but I got.. distracted, which is very easy to do here.

Rachel and Julie visited me Saturday. We had a great time, I love visiters!! We stayed up all night and played games and watched movies and hung out with Brad haha. Brad is... interesting.

My roomate is great, we get along so well and even though we're SOOOO different, she's very accepting of my opinions and whatnot. I couldn't have picked a better one, myself. A lot of girls fight with their roomie's a lot but Amanda and I haven't had a single tiff yet *knocks on wood* She listens to a lot of like... rap/hip hop which is weird to me but I can handle it. Besides, I'm getting her to like my music too... she loves Tegan and Sara now lol.

I should be working on my article for the newspaper... but... yea. Distractions haha.

I love the fall colors here... they're beautiful The cemetary is gorgeous this time of year. Yes, we do have a cemetary on campus. It was weird to me at first, but now I don't even think about it.

I'm floating in a black balloon
OD on Easter afternoon
My momma told me,
"Baby stay clean, there's no in between."

All you ladies and you gentlemen
Between's all you've ever seen or been,
Fit poorly and and arrange the sight
Doll it up in virgin white.

You disappoint me
You people raking in on the world
The devil's script sells
You the heart of a blackbird.

Shine on me baby
'Cause it's raining in my heart.

Sun rising on a chopping glare
Rain dropping acid blotter in the air
A Distorted reality's now a necessity
To be free.
 
So disappointing,
First I put it all down to luck
God knows why my
Country don't give a fuck (fuck).

Shine on me baby
'Cause it's raining in my heart.
Shine on me baby
'Cause it's raining in my heart.

My dorm room has a gorgeous view

 I miss my dog more than anything in the world. 

That's why I couldn't be happier
No, I couldn't be happier
Though it is, I admit
The tiniest bit
Unlike I anticipated
But I couldn't be happier
Simply couldn't be happier
Well - not "simply":
'Cause getting your dreams
It's strange, but it seems
A little - well - complicated
There's a kind of a sort of : cost
There's a couple of things get: lost
There are bridges you cross
You didn't know you crossed
Until you've crossed
And if that joy, that thrill
Doesn't thrill you like you think it will
Still -
With this perfect finale
The cheers and ballyhoo
Who
Wouldn't be happier?

....thank goodness

I've been waiting for something to happen
For a week or a month or a year
With the blood in the ink of the headlines
And the sound of the crowd in my ear
You might ask what it takes to remember
When you know that you've seen it before
Where a government lies to a people
And a country is drifting to war

And there's a shadow on the faces
Of the men who send the guns
To the wars that are fought in places
Where their business interest runs

On the radio talk shows and the T.V.
You hear one thing again and again
How the U.S.A. stands for freedom
And we come to the aid of a friend
But who are the ones that we call our friends--
These governments killing their own?
Or the people who finally can't take any more
And they pick up a gun or a brick or a stone
There are lives in the balance
There are people under fire
There are children at the cannons
And there is blood on the wire

There's a shadow on the faces
Of the men who fan the flames
Of the wars that are fought in places
Where we can't even say the names

They sell us the President the same way
They sell us our clothes and our cars
They sell us every thing from youth to religion
The same time they sell us our wars
I want to know who the men in the shadows are
I want to hear somebody asking them why
They can be counted on to tell us who our enemies are
But they're never the ones to fight or to die
And there are lives in the balance
There are people under fire
There are children at the cannons
And there is blood on the wire

I'm still working on it.

Only in college....

do you eat peaches out of the plastic cup with your mouth because you don't want to have to wash a spoon!

or

eat Easy Mac out of a measuring cup so you don't have to wash another bowl!

So I'm waiting for this test to end
So these lighter days can soon begin
I'll be alone but maybe more carefree
Like a kite that floats so effortlessly
I was afraid to be alone
Now I'm scared thats how I'd like to be
All these faces none the same
How can there be so many personalities
So many lifeless empty hands
So many hearts in great demand
And now my sorrow seems so far away
Until I'm taken by these bolts of pain
But I turn them off and tuck them away
'till these rainy days that make them stay
And then I'll cry so hard to these sad songs
And the words still ring, once here now gone
And they echo through my head everyday
And I dont think they'll ever go away
Just like thinking of your childhood home
But we cant go back we're on our own
Oh,
But i'm about to give this one more shot
And find it in myself
I'll find it in myself
So were speeding towards that time of year
To the day that marks that you're not here
And i think I'll want to be alone
So please understand if I dont answer the phone
I'll just sit and stare at my deep blue walls
Until I can see nothing at all
Only particles some fast some slow
All my eyes can see is all I know
Ohh..
But I'm about to give this one more shot
And find it in myself
I'll find it in myself
