Cuz I don't know you
And you don't know me
It's the same sun rising
We all just look to the sky
If we try
We can work it out somehow
If you don't know me
And I don't know you
How can we be fighting
We're all connected it's true
Reaching out
It's only love that pulls us through



so don't judge me.

and don't you DARE condemn me for something I had very little influence on.

I'm 1,500 miles away. Can't you understand that drama like this stupid beyond all pretenses?

You have your family and an intact social system. What do I have, or what could I DO, that could possibly be a threat to you?

And if you say, "You're not a threat to me", don't act like it is.

¬_¬

Oh, irony. How I love you.


...sortof.

Now the question is, What do I do for Thanksgiving now?

MakesMeThink

-- Today, a blind stranger told me he could hear the song in my smile. MMT

There are some days I have faith in humanity, and some days I don't.

Some days I believe in myself and know I can make it through anything, and there are some days - lots of days - I don't know how I'll make it.

-- Today, my teacher told me to "make a good day." I replied, "Don't you mean 'have a good day?'" He smiled and said, "No, you can't have a good day, you need to make it a good day." MMT

There are some days I don't believe that my close friends really love me; that they would answer my phone calls to just listen to me. There are some days where I feel like the only living person in Provo.

-- Today my mom told me, "The best things in life are not things." MMT

Or that maybe people don't think about me as much as I do them; that people don't understand and accept my level of curiosity. I worry that I annoy people, or that I mistakenly drift towards people with the same level of humor as me.

-- Today, while running intervals in cross country practice, everyone was complaining about being exhausted. In the background, I heard one of my teammates declare just how beautiful a day it was. Everyone stopped and looked around. It was a beautiful day. MMT

But really...

This life is beautiful. Wonderful. So infinitely precious.

-- Today, I met a guy who asked me if it was the best day of my life. I said it was and he said, "Me too!" When I asked why, he said, "Because yesterday is the past and tomorrow isn't guaranteed, that's why this very moment is the best moment of my life." MMT

Don't ever do something you'll regret, because they're never worth it. Don't ever say something you won't mean, because it'll sting forever.


But regardless of all of that fluffy stuff that'll make your brain/teeth rot...




I love you.



(Yes, you.)


Very, very much.

I know they did all those, but the order was changed o_O I can't remember though; I'll have to compare notes later with the chicas I went with.

but oh! what FUN! I can't declare a favorite, they were all so good!! They were all so intense, the bass thumping through my body and the air vibrating with such energy that it made Snow Patrol look like they were moving twice as fast as the audience! (which was muy small, surprisingly. meh, that's fine with me; made it more personable :D )

but yeah. I love them!!!! and they're coming out with another CD in November! hooray! ^-^

but now, time for bed. because I have 9am church tomorrow. x_X

sweet dreams, world!

Today was overwhelmingly satisfying.

:D

Finished my homework before making it to class, did well on my first English paper, did well on my first New Testament test, and made it home before my hometeacher came over for dinner.

hooray!

now off to homework. wooooo.

By golly I love the Alternative genre of music.

:3

I'm rediscovering my burning love for Coldplay - and finding lots of singles that I've never heard before. It's like finding a box of treasure and never opening it. I like to think I'm only beginning to scratch the surface. ^-^

Also: Snow Patrol concert on the 10th of next month. I'm am soooooo excited!!!! I wish they had more unlisted b-sides for me to research...

I wish people would reciprocate.

Especially people who I used to pride myself in calling my "best friends".

:/

RIP Lifesong.

My iPod died. :'(

I'll need another one -- which, I guess is GREAT, since my little 4gig just won't cut it for me anymore; what with how much stuff I want to put on it.

However, here is the current dilemma:

WHICH ONE DO I GET??

[[And don't say "touch", because that's way out of my price range.]]

A nano (if they make them anymore...) is small enough where I think I'm going to snap it half like a cracker. A video isn't worth it to me since I won't put a video on it (when would I watch it?) and a shuffle is worthless because I like to see what I'm listening to.

I'm going to miss my mini...


It fit just perfectly into my hand...

TT_TT

le sigh. If I can still manage to use it to hold my expansive classical repertoire, that'd be AWESOME... but if not, I'll just have to accept this thing where it goes.

Anyway. Convince me.

What kind of iPod should I get now?
