We're doing this in choir...and it is one of the most beautiful, haunting, devastating things I've ever heard. Give it a listen. If it doesn't move you, you're heartless.

Adventures

I just did two separate quizzes on Facebook about what element I am.

Your element is Air. You don't care much for rules or schedules and enjoy the freedom to live life your own way.

Air is the element of freedom. The people of air detach themselves to find happiness and freedom. Air is usually related to being adaptable, inquisitive, positive, energetic, restless, and clever.

I guess I'm just an airhead.

Something of an admission/confession

I know I'm a terrible student. Yes, I'm well aware.

But I've never had it stare me in the face so bluntly.

I think this might be what it takes to get me motivated though...so this incident can't be all bad, can it?

I've Been Better

I'm at one of those points...y'know, one I haven't been at in a while. For the first time in a very long time, a part of me just wants to curl up and cry. There are multiple factors at work in this, including current relationships, school, and the job marketplace. I fully realise that for the latter two, I've stuck my foot in my mouth about it. But the former...

A lot of the problems there lie in my own personality quirks (perhaps quirks is too benign a word). I realise this. But it neither makes it any easier to deal with or brings a quicker end to it.

I don't know. I don't want to pour the whole thing out here (go figure; normally I might have done) but just thought I'd throw this into the void.

LMAO Facebook!

orange

Orange personalities are the creative adventurers in the color spectrum. They have an inner urge to be creative, active and enjoy life to its fullest. They are also individual and independent and integrate physical and mental qualities. They enjoy the challenge and excitement of forming and shaping physical reality. Orange personalities love to imagine and plan strategies for their next adventure or project and then put those plans into action. They need to be involved in the actual working process and want to physically shape and form their own ideas. They have difficulty sitting back and letting other people do things for them. They are always busy building, organizing and shaping their projects and physical reality. An Orange personality's motivation in life is based on how much pleasure and satisfaction they get out of their own adventures, challenges and creative projects. They want to be adventurous, creative and live out their own ideas.

I feel like I'm updating a lot lately

Too alarming now to talk about
Take your pictures down and shake it out
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, race it around

There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary

Don't the best of them bleed it out
While the rest of them peter out
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, race it around

There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary

Kudos my hero leaving all the best
You know my hero, the one that's on

There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary
Foo Fighters, My Hero

There's a story waiting to be written here.

Some thoughts I had in US History today

I feel like writing a blog entry. Or something. Let's see what happens today in history class!
We're watching a movie. It looks retarded. Well - only twelve minutes of a movie. It's called 'Wild Styles', from the early 80s, supposedly about hip hop culture. Some tagger is trying to decide whether to take his work commercial, but we're watching it for 'culture, scenery, blah blah blah'.
Watching the main character on the el trains reminds me of Spider-man 2...and my good old days. Some old habits and cravings die hard, apparently.
80s hip hop wasn't bad. It wasn't stupid like the rap and hip hop of today. Today it's all gangsta. The hip hop of the 80s was real, I guess.
Does that thing with the records scratch said records?
We're writing Ronald Reagan raps. I should try my hand later.
=====
Yeah, I wrote that in class. Bleah.

Also, I threw up a playlist at the bottom of the page, so if you're wondering where that music is coming from, it's probably there.

Should you have been wondering what my current mood is...

I can't remember when it was good
moments of happiness elude
maybe I just misunderstood

all of the love we left behind
watching the flash backs intertwine
memories I will never find

so I'll love whatever you become
and forget the reckless things we've done
I think our lives have just begun
I think our lives have just begun

and I'll feel my world crumbling
I'll feel my life crumbling
I'll feel my soul crumbling away
and falling away
falling away with you

staying awake to chase a dream
tasting the air you're breathing in
I know I won't forget a thing

promise to hold you close and pray
watching the fantasies decay
nothing will ever stay the same

all of the love we threw away
all of the hopes we cherished fade
making the same mistakes again
making the same mistakes again

I can feel my world crumbling
I can feel my life crumbling
I can feel my soul crumbling away
and falling away
falling away with you

all of the love we've left behind
watching the flash backs intertwine
memories I will never find
memories I will never find

~Muse, Falling Away With You
