music:left and leaving-the weakerthans
mood:harried
my city's still breathing (but barely it's true)
through buildings gone missing like teeth
the sidewalks are watching me think about you
sparkled with broken glass
I'm back with scars to show
back with the streets I know
will never take me anywhere but here
the stain in the carpet
this drink in my hand
the strangers whose faces I know
we meet here for our dress-rehearsal to say
"I wanted it this way"
wait for the year to drown
spring forward, fall back down
I'm trying not to wonder where you are
all this time lingers, undefined
someone choose who's left and who's leaving
memory will rust and erode into lists of all that you gave me:
a blanket, some matches, this pain in my chest
the best parts of Lonely, duct-tape and soldered wires
new words for old desires
and every birthday card I threw away
I wait in 4/4 time
Count yellow highway lines that you're relying on to lead you home

holiday from real
music:lynette's holiday mix '06
a holiday to bali dictates picture after picture of a picturesque beach. so im just following my orders. hold your breath now.
this basically sums up my entire bali trip. total rest&relaxation.
i tried several new things though. snorkeling&white water rafting. funfunfun.
and guess what! i've got a tan to make anyone jealous. okay. it's not so much as tan as a BURN. but, whatever. at least i'm no longer WHITE (and nerdy!) but it freaking burns like a mofo.

finally, i'm letting go of all my downer thoughts
so in no time there'll be one less sad robot
looking for a chance to be more than just metal (ms. delaney-jack's mannequin)
i make plans to break plans
and i've been planning something big (the phrase that pays-the academy is)
we could live through these letters
or forget it altogether
see the months they don't matter
it's the days i can't take
when the hours move to minutes
and i'm seconds away (new american classic-taking back sunday)
hold on to the corners of today
and we'll fold it up to save until it's needed (watermark-the weakerthans)
pretty little songs with dirty little words
ps: holy crapola. holiday homework. not done.
