did you hear it?

it finally thunderstormed this morning.
around 6 am or so.
i hope it woke you up
so you were able to enjoy it too.

in other news...
a blood clot came out of my nose
about five minutes before genetics class started.
yeah, dont ask.

so thanksgiving break ruined me.

just ruined me.
spoiled me into thinking that there is nothing to do
nothing to worry about
and christmas break is just around the corner.
no, on thanksgiving break
theres only sweet relaxation with the family,
more food than i can manage,
and a full 8 hours of sleep.
those things...
i just cant find around these parts.
well, at least not until after the 13th.

on a high note:
i just laid on the couch and ate cheetos.
i feel fat,
but oh so grand.

well, much love to all those winthrop kids
through exam time.
see ya in about two weeks.

like time. theres always time. on my mind.

me and my dear friend ria were talking last night.
the end. just kidding.
she said that while peeing
it occurred to her that the reason
why time passes us by so quickly
(why its already almost thanksgiving
when we just started this semester yesterday!)
is that we're always looking ahead,
always planning the next big thing,
instead of living in, and enjoying this moment.
i agreed,
but wondered that if we did start to live in these moments
what exactly would that entail
and would we actually slow time?
while conversing, we kinda generated
a timeline for the both of us.
right now we're slowly slipping into thanksgiving break mode
then its a blur (also known as finals)
then christmas break
(yah for presents and candy canes!)
then an even bigger blur
and its graduation. man that came fast.
and then the biggest blur of all
and its goodbye world. hello jesus.
thats always a peaceful thought,
when you come to sum your life up in
turkey day to judgment day.

oh well,
my finals look pretty rough this semester.
i have one wednesday
then thursday
then friday
then monday
then tuesday. then i die.
again with the time line.
however, i'm sure i'll survive
with a little added help from mr. eight o'clock and
the basement of ida jane dacus.
way to be asylum lights, way to be.

dont forget sequins.

chrisalicious85: i have a picture of your 2 favorite things.
chrisalicious85: well...3 i guess
chrisalicious85: me
chrisalicious85: coffee
chrisalicious85: and a beard
serena corine: you're right. those are my three favorite things.

so honestly...what month is it?

much like the weather
i really dont know whats been
going on with me lately.
just ignore me
and i'll get back to normal
eventually.

theres a longing for one of those thunderstorms. you know the ones...so loud, so powerful that they wake you up out of a deep and peaceful sleep. and then the hard rain on the window puts you back there again. those kind of storms only happen at home. and i miss them.

i think i'll stick with it.

its a sad day
when you realize
that whether or not the mixture
in the bottom of your test tube
turns red
determines how the rest
of your day
will end up
and that the fear
of blowing yourself up
really does exist.

there are no bad words for the coast today.

in my dreams i see myself hitting a baseball
in a green field somewhere near a freeway
i'm all tan and smiling
and running from third base.

another day in the life of me.
another organic chem test under my belt.
i actually think it went pretty well,
not as well as before, but still good.
which is really surprising. i mean,
am i not suppose to be failing right about now?
the only thing that bothers me
is the fact that i havent showered this morning.
i think ria is starting to rub off on me.
and also that i've been in the library a total of...
hold on, let me calculate...
approximately nine hours since monday night
and its wednesday morning. bah.
i noticed that i think its funny when people
first come into the library.
they unload everything. books. jackets. bags.
they sit.
and they immediately start pumping themselves
up for the studying that lies ahead.
its like they have to brace themselves first.
on two separate occasions this morning
i thought i saw both jake and jared
on colorful mopeds around campus.
they dont even have mopeds.
i know i did see mr stephen and mr mike
on their long boards this morning while walking to class
and the first thought that came to mind...
i know the coolest people ever. yeah.
been singing rilo kiley for the past 5 days.
its kinda getting old, but the freaking awesomeness
of it outweighs the redunancy.
i should work on my english project now.

its sixteen miles to the promised land
and i promise you
i'm doing the best i can.
now dont fool yourself
in thinking you're more than a man
cause you'll probably end up dead.
i visit these mountains with frequency
and stand here with my arms out.
now somedays they'll last longer than others
but this day by the lake went too fast.
and if you want me, you better speak up.
i wont wait.
so you better move fast.
dont fool yourself
in thinking you're more than you are
with your arms outstretched to me.
now somedays they'll last longer than others
but this day by the lake went to fast.
and if you want me, you better speak up.
i wont wait.
so you better move fast.
