It Is You Or It Is None

Ravish me, dear one,
For it is you or it is none,
I could do without moon, or stars, or sun,
But not without you,
For there'd be no one,

I won't ever fall into another's arms,
Or find another with all your charms,
So lavish me, dear one,
For it is you or it is none,
Rest is lovely when day is done,
But not without you,
For there'd be none,

I won't ever look deep in another's eyes,
Or find another with them blue as skies,
So steal me away, dear one,
For it is you or it is none,
Where there is love is also fun,
But not without you,
For there'd be none,

I won't ever hold another's hand,
Or find another who'd understand,
So tell me, dear one,
"For it is you or it is none,
I could do without moon, or stars, or sun,
But not without you,
For there'd be no one."

**ravish is used here in the non-rape definition, rather meaning captivated or entranced.

Night & Day

Is it all worth giving,
If we ever stop living,
At all,
At all,
If you tear out your heart,
Cause she tore you apart,
Would you give it,
To me,
To me,
Cause when I saw the dawn,
I wondered where you had gone,
So fast,
So fast,
I had closed my eyes lightly,
Then opened ever so slightly,
To see,
To see,
No sign left of night,
Only morning’s dear light,
Springing through trees that swayed in the breeze,
As I watched their dance,
My heart did romance,
About you,
About you,
About you,
About you-who,
Captured my love in a fury of fire,
Blazed right through my life,
Catching my true desire,
To be,
To be,
To be,
To be,
To be where I was with you when,
I fell in love with you then,
If I,
If I…
If I felt things were right,
I’d be sleeping tonight,
So sound,
So sound,
You’re so,
Sound,
So sound,
And if you came through the night,
Like a soldier through fight,
For me,
For me,
We’d be,
We’d be worth it all,
Yeah, we’d be worth it all.

Getting Psyched...in good and bad ways.

Go figure, I'm either totally procrastinating the REAL planning I need to do for the billion and one changes that are to befall me next semester, or I'm freaking out about it. I'm finding there is no such thing as a happy medium when it comes to my feelings about the future. (Ironically listening to John Mayer's "No Such Thing" haha).

Some of the stuff like what I'm going to do for a job when I get out of school...I don't really want to think about that, who job searches before they even have a degree anyways? Gosh! Then there's the little bit about where I'm going to live next semester...haha. Um yeah, haven't planned that out in the least! I should probably start saving the first month's rent/deposit...but have I thought of that before today? Nope. That thought just occurred.

So basically, i freak out about finding a job after school, even though i think it's absurd to even worry about cause it'll be a while; and i don't think about the apartment as much as i probably should (cause i promised myself I would not live at home).

I'm excited and scared at the same time. I'm so used to Normandale, life is simple there. Classes aren't always simple (not as much as people might think), but everything else pretty much is. Then there's the U of M which is like opposite, it's like it's own little world...but in a different way than Normandale is.

This will be the first time I've ever admitted this, but here goes: I'm a little afraid I won't fit it as much as I'd like to think. Yup, first time that's been owned up to, haha. I've lived in the 'burbs my whole life, not the city. I should just do this all blindly, make it my own learning experience. I've got to stop asking people questions or even listen to their [unwanted/unwaranted] advice about what i should do and should worry about and should prepare for and should re-think. If i make a mistake it'd be no different than any other day of my life, haha. Or anyone else's for that matter. So I think i just convinced myself that I shouldn't worry about any of it...plan it, yes; worry, no. Good thought-airing!

Life's Random Giggle-Worthy Moments

Life has just been making me giggle lately. I just get amusement from the silly things that happen around me. I've always been that way, but it seems prevalent right now, with some seemingly tough stuff going on in my life too. I just love the antics of people and life.

My mom comes home after going out to her weekly bible study, and is rapidly pursued by the dog (who makes chew-baka like noises and dances around) and my dad who just "happens" to wander up from the basement right as she arrives but doesn't say hi just wanders aimlessly around pouting cause he hasn't received immediate attention.

Or how on a daily basis I loose my car in the parking lot at school. Someone always tries to follow me to my spot too, then I feel bad because I haven't the slightest clue as to where my car is!

My photography teacher, who at first i thought was like how i would be when i got to be about 55, ... then when she started repeating herself repeatedly it got a little scary. Lol, she tells us about the same things over and over, and i know it's mean but i just have to laugh. My other option is to get annoyed, so i choose the better.

The random customer that is REALLY excited about old fashioned donuts! Haha.

The stupid thing someone said about the economy...I can't say anymore, but i'll just say it's the perfect time for first time buyers.

So many random other things, at least I have SOMETHING to entertain me.

Coldplay, I'm sorry!

Today is a sad day: my favorite band is in town, and I didn't work at it enough to get someone to commit to going with me in advance, and no one i know is crazy enough to try to buy scalped tickets with me (which i would TOTALLY do) except margaret and she's not exactly available...so I'm bummed. I would have FREAKED if i had been able to go to that concert. It's a sad day.

Otherwise, so far not such a bad friday. Peace.

It's Hard to Explain

I've been asked twice in the last two weeks to explain what happened. It's odd, because for all the thinking about it I've done, explaining it was difficult. I had to think about it. I had to think about it. More. Never would've thought that would be necessary. It's hard to explain to someone that when the truth is built up; hidden away somewhere and it falls into the open a collapse of the newly exploited is inevitable. I didn't mean to be as cruel as I was, it's just that sometimes the truth has a sting. It's unfortunate that you thought it was a game of creating arguments, when really it was just my pent up honesty, - true feelings I'd been burying for months, maybe longer due to my fear of your probable anger and disregard. It's pretty sad when ties are severed because the truth cannot be told.

It's hard to explain, because I still don't understand what happened. I'm getting closer to feeling okay about it, but I still don't fully understand it.

BBFF...(i <3 acronyms)

I have the best best friends ever! I just got a beast of a letter that i've been really excited for and although i don't have time to read the whole thing right now (cause i accidentally forgot about my one o'clock class...*ahem*) I am SUPER excited :) So i just thought the world should know!

T.T.F.N.

So since facebook is so good at consuming (and wasting) hours of my life every week i decided I'm going to lay off for a week, and see how nice it is to feel normal again. Haha, but really, I know I just use it to procrastinate, so I'm going to do without this week! Maybe I'll read a book...or do my homework ahead of time, instead of the night before it's due in between comments on facebook. Facebook is an evil genius! How many times can I say facebook? Ok...I digress.

Tonight, when the clock strikes midnight...haha, jk. But officially monday 12:00AM, to monday the 17th at 12:00AM I am leaving facebook be! I may post notes via my blog, seeing as I can't go without writing something each day. That is the one exception. And i know some people are thinking, "OoooOO, a whole week!", but really, i know i spend too much time on that stupid site, hence it will be a nice vacay!

Thanks, all and see ya in a week!

Cheers

Cheers to inexperience and ignorance in the white house! Cheers to the hope of impeachment! Cheers to puking in your mouth a little when you heard the news! Cheers to dead and made-up people for voting! Cheers to pulling out of Iraq, when it's not really a war anymore, and ending up somewhere else! Cheers to the prospect of cheaper, lower quality health care! And lastly, cheers to the American people, let's hope a majority don't regret the decision they so stupidly made!
