I’m a Toys R Us Kid

Me: Being grown up sucks.

Katharine: I know. Let’s grown down!

Me: Ok :)

Well open up your mind and see like me

Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you’re so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
and now I’m trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I’ll be giving it my best test
Nothing’s going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it’s again my turn to win some or learn some

I won’t hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I’m yours

Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you’re free
Look into your heart and you’ll find love love love
Listen to the music of the moment maybe sing with me
A lá peaceful melody
It’s your God-forsaken right to be loved love loved loved loved

So I won’t hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I’m sure
There’s no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I’m yours

I’ve been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
My breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and laughed
I guess what I’ma saying is there ain’t no better reason
To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
It’s what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue

I won’t hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I’m sure
There’s no need to complicate
Our time is short
this is our fate, I’m yours

Well no no, well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you’re free
Look into your heart and you’ll find the sky is yours
Listen to the music of the moment come and dance with me
A lá one big family
It’s your God-forsaken right to be loved loved loved loved

I won’t hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I’m sure
There’s no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I’m yours

No please, don’t complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I’m yours

No please, don’t hesitate
no more, no more
It cannot wait
The sky is yours!

Jason Mraz-I’m Yours

Oregon iTrail

Dustin: Oregon Trail is out for iPhone now! I was playing it this morning down at the commune.  So far I’m only allowed to shoot squirrels but it’s totally awesome.

Me: Do you get to eat the squirrels?

Dustin: Ironically, when you shoot a squirrel a little piece of meat replaces the body that you pick up. The piece of meat looks identical to a chicken leg.

Me: But does it taste identical?

Dustin: Nobody is sick yet, so I think we’re good!

French Hell

Me (referring to my present studying situation): it’s like being in french hell.

Emily: not unless you’re being sneared at by ambiguously gay men and stepping over dog poop in the streets. THEN you’re in french hell.

Me: well in that case my projected arrival date is 29 may.

:)

So, I had to leave Chicago/my best friend today, but it ended up being a pretty good day anyway.

:)

I’m happy.

Quote of the Day

Dustin: I like fire, just not on my face.

71 Degrees of Happiness

Today was the last day of class before Spring Break, and it turned out to be a pretty perfect day.  I woke up in a darn good mood and it was one of those amazing morning where the birds are chirping and its sunny and there’s this breeze that brings goosebumps to your arms in just the right way. After classes Stephanie and I ate hot dogs in the North Campus quad and watched people play frisbee and yell at each other about their Spring Break plans. I spent so long sitting outside drinking tea in this perfect mixture of sun on my hair and show under my Chacos even though it waupwards of 70 degrees.  It somehow felt like I was in a book that I’d never read before.  Today my life is better than books.  And it takes a lot for me to say that.

P.S. I also had craft time and hung out with some of my favorite people and of course, Spring Break is here!

…great day. :)

Who?

In my car this afternoon…

Emily: What are we listening to?

Me: Gnarls Barkley. Do you love it or hate it?

Emily: I’m not sure. It sounds like Christmas music.

Me: Huh.
