You get so high
Funny how we make new friends...
paranoia paranoia, everybody's coming to get me
"flagpole sitta" by harvey danger was just playing in the dining hall. i used to obsessively play this song of my Now 1 cd in my bedroom. the first cd was totally my guilty pleasure. not only was this golden '90s song on it, but they had radiohead's "karma police" and marcy playground's "sex and candy". nowadays, all that's on it is soulja boy.
somewhere, someone is full of energy.
maryland day. campus is crowded with kiddies and 50,000 cupcakes.
the weather is beautiful and i can't wait for tomorrow.
24 days
preachers
i woke up this morning to a man preaching outside my window.

i never understood why they have to yell so damn loud.
if we want to listen, we will. don't try to force your 'teachings' on us by yelling your brains out.
personally, i don't want to listen to your babble. there's more real issues going on in the world that i'd much rather hear you talk about.
you've been preaching for a good 20 minutes now and i still have no idea what you're talking about. and now you're bringing up 9/11? oh, great. this reminds me of those made for tv preachers who are guilty of "sexual sins" and beating their wives. what happened to practicing what you preach? i'm not trying to demean anyone's personal beliefs. just don't force it on people who do not want to hear it.
i'm sorry but i am just very bitter towards these people because one of them happened to ruin my grandmother's funeral service by turning a speech about the life she lived into a story about how all the dead will rise out of their graves in the second coming or some bullshit like that. just let her rest in peace.
your voice is distracting me from reading king lear.
i'm gonna take a shower...this is making me depressed.
25 days until i'm free from these distractions outside my window
"but in my spare time i'm a seeker..."
Finally, I experienced a good lecture in Global Communities. We discussed Sufism and its beliefs, which I hold near and dear to my heart:
- seek to discover the reality of your true being.
- struggle to know the truth (that which is constant) within yourself.
- the universe is perfect in essence. we are all capable to do more than we think imaginable.
- create an equilibrium between all paths of energy, both physically and metaphysically. we are all interconnected.
- travel inward, connect the brain to the heart - the true source of life.
- our purposes are complimentary. if you want something bad enough, it will manifest itself to you.
- nature, karma, revelation, beauty, remembrance, infinity.
Oh, music is the meat of all who love,
Music uplifts the soul to realms above.
The ashes glow, and latent fires increase:
We listen and are fed with joy and peace.
-Rumi
hello, 9am
i miss waking up before you arrive. sleeping through class is so three weeks ago.
2 essays done, 4 more to go.
26 days.
oh, and irish accents are hard to type, let alone speak.
pleasantly surprised
In between classes today at the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center (CSPAC for short), there was a college tour going on and in the crowd I spotted a girl wearing a shirt with strangely familiar stick figures on it. My initial reaction was to scream out "OLD SPRINGS PIKE!" which I did. She immediately responded and we had a nice little bonding moment outside of the Applause Cafe. I was so excited to see another OSP fan (sadly, they're lacking on campus) that I forgot to ask her name. But maybe we'll meet again. I mean, they are playing in the area 3 times this weekend ;)
Honestly, ever since the WaWa by my dorm closed, Old Springs Pike concerts have become the number one perk about going to college in Maryland. Thank god they're touring. EP. So soon.
home: 27 days
p.s. we watched a design concept video for the great gatsby today and i've added another couple things to my summer projects list: (1) play flapper music around the house and (2) learn the charleston
stef would be proud
of the salad i made today
eating well on earth day
m mm mmm.
i'm a huge dork if you didn't already know.
I. Want. This. Pug.
Every time I'm sad, I watch this video and things instantly get better. Try it, I swear by it.
Plans
I was supposed to go to the Green Apple Music Festival on the national mall today, but rain and light focus for Marisol are stopping me. Ed Norton and Umphrey's McGee are going to be there, too.
I just received this e-mail and found it quite amusing:
It makes me miss this time last year when Steph, Kat, Trish, Vince, Chris, Sean, Kim, Kerry and I would look up at the stars and run under the powerlines behind Amy's.
I hate when plans fall through. Now all I can do is hope for something unexpected and wonderful to happen in its place..I think this calls for my new $2 Value Village dress.
next saturday: OSP @ GW
home: 30 days
I wasn't lying...
...when i told you i would make this my new background.
three of the most beautiful souls i've ever encountered. i hope this photo doesn't retract the seriousness of that statement:
home countdown: 31 days
I think I'm going to really like my brother's stories.
he smiled
and he thanked goodness
because he knew
that he was still
and he always would be
just a little bit
peculiar.
Martin McDonagh
is a beast of his domain.
OSP-In The Underground @ Tin Angel
I've concluded this is going to be my theme song for Summer '08
Edit the Sad Parts
Sometimes all I really want to feel is love
Sometimes I'm angry that I feel so angry.
Sometimes my feelings get in the way
of what I really feel I needed to say.
If you stand in a circle, then you'll all have a back to bite
back logged voices on the seven wonders
We're all so funny but he's lost his joke now.
A communication from the one lined joke
a stand up comic and a rock musician
making so much noise you don't know when to listen.
Why are you judging people so damn hard?
You're taking your point of views a bit too far.
I made my shoes shine with my coal
but my polish didn't shine the hole...
(what does it say about me that another person's words can reflect my life at its present moment better than I could ever do? there's something strangely beautiful in that, i think.)
Think it over
there's the air of the height of high rollers.
Think it over
You aint got nothing till ya know her.
-Modest Mouse. thank you for the words i couldn't think to say.
