you may see me...

You may see me when I'm on the run
You may see me when I'm all undone
You may see me smoking a cigarette
You may see me and try to forget
But you won't forget

You got the eyes to look for what you saw
And when you don't win or lose i guess you draw
I had to leave i guess you had to stay
Don't come looking babe
Cause if you look too hard
I might just look away

You may see me but you never know
You may see me in Ohio

You got the eyes to look for what you saw
And when you don't win or lose i guess you draw
I had to leave i guess you had to stay
Don't come looking babe
Cause if you look too hard
I might just look away

Don't come looking babe
Don't come looking babe
Cause if you look too hard
You'll find me in the wrong place

You got the eyes to look for what you saw
And when you don't win or lose i guess you draw
I had to leave i guess you had to stay
Don't come looking babe
Cause if you look too hard
I might just look away

You may see me when I ain't got a thing

Is it possible to be all the heroins at once? I suppose thats what all little girls want--to be the princess in every story. I actually would like to add an additional option: Megara from Hercules!! But alas, for now I am Pocahontas. Thats cool though, I would enjoy learning to paint with wind-colors.

I'm sorry, but that's mine.

I need to write a new post so that everytime I open this blog I don't see the last post. Sometimes I can think about him and be fine. I can say that he still thinks about me every day like I think about him and in 3 weeks or less he will call me and tell me that I'm the only one he will ever love. Other times every single song that we ever listened to together start playing through my head simultaneously, especially the really sappy lyrics like "I keep dreaming you'll be with me and you'll never go, stop breathing if I don't see you anymore," and I start crying uncontrollably and can't get the stupid lyrics OUT of my head. It's not actually uncontrollable crying. As soon as I listen to some upbeat girl music, like Cyndi Lauper or Blondie or Katy Rose or Alanis Morissette I'm fine. And then I can pretend to forget about my broken heart for at least an hour until Nickelback or Augustana or O.A.R. creep back into my thoughts. Stupid and annoying. I want my heart back. I want him to say, here, I'm sorry for ruining your semester abroad. I'm sorry for worrying about you cheating on me every single second of every day. I'm sorry for making you cry when you couldn't call me from another country because your phone wouldn't make outgoing calls and your hostel didn't have Skype. I'm sorry I didn't try harder to contact you or send you letters or emails. I'm sorry that I tricked you into giving me your heart when I knew I couldn't handle it in the first place. Here, you can have it back.

Thanks.

what i miss most

  • when you say that you'll scratch my back if i scratch yours, but then you always make me scratch your back first until you fall asleep.
  • when you tickle me until i can't breathe.
  • when you make sentences using every spanish word you know, even though they make no sense.
  • when you wake up in the morning and your hair is all messy and soft.
  • when you come home from work late at night and jump on me and kiss me all over to get me to wake up.
  • when you get really angry about the existence of illegal mexicans.
  • your lips.
  • when you tell me how pretty i am.
  • when you wrap your long arms around me and i feel my whole body get warm and tingly.
  • when you let me hold your hand in public.
  • when you talk about how much you miss your parents.
  • when the sweat drips down the base of your spine.
  • when i try to make you dinner and you complain about how i eat weird food and then you try it and actually like it.
  • when you tell me you want to be with me for the rest of your life.
  • when you drink caffeinated beer.
  • when you don't understand what i'm talking about, but still pretend to so that i feel better.
  • when you pretend that nothing exists except your own imperfect existence.
  • when you tell me "everything will be okay, baby."

are we falling or flying?

I guess we'll never know....

Is it weird that this song was playing in my iTunes when I opened our blog? Maybe I should believe in signs after all. That has to means we are sisters or something right?

And as your sister, you can believe me when I say everything WILL be ok. Really, really it will. You have been strong to endure all the highs and lows of your relationship so far, and you will be strong enough to get through whatever may or may not happen next. And when you think you aren't, I'll be there. It's like Beaches. I'm the wind beneath your wing that keeps you flying when you think you may fall. But you wont. It will be ok.

Sometimes I hit a wall and I fall and I can’t stand up and somebody says, “Hey, it’s gonna be ok.”

The Night I Stayed Up Until 7:00 a.m.

I don't know why I thought it was a good idea to stay up until 7 a.m. I don't think it was so much about whether or not it was a good idea, but more that it wasn't a bad idea. I used to do things only if they benefited me in some way, but now more and more I do things because I see no good reason not to. This is bad because a) I waste much more time that I used to and b) it makes my morals and values go even further down the drain so my conscience doesn't know how to come up with any sort of quality logic. I'm kind of embarrassed to admit this, but Prague has not only made me dumb down my language so Czech people can understand me, but it's also made me feel like the worst kind of goody-goody there is. I have not been any kind of goody-goody since 6th grade when I decided to get rid of my glasses and start flirting.

Okay, that's not the point. The point is that I learned a lot the night I stayed up until 7 a.m. For example, I learned:
  • It's okay to think about sex a lot, like a boy, because it makes it better when you actually do it since you have thought about exactly what you want to do and how you want things to go.
  • I like TV shows so much because it makes me feel better about my own life when I have someone else's fucked up story to follow.
  • Sometimes you can love someone with every inch of your whole entire body and still want to be with other people.
  • It's hard to admit that you're an attention whore. But if you lose the attention of one person and find yourself trying desperately to get it from anyone else who will talk to you, then what does that make you?
  • Sometimes talking about it makes it so much better.
  • Sometimes talking about it means nothing. You just have to do it already.
  • If you have ever had feelings for someone in the past, they will probably never go away unless you do something about it and your feelings change.
  • Watching the sun rise can suck sometimes.
  • Your own feelings can make other people's not matter at all. If you want something bad enough it doesn't matter if you kill others along the way. Now I finally understand that.
