Fools

If only fools wear their hearts on their sleeves, then I must be some kind of fool.
Forgive me, for I know not what I do.
Most of the time, anyway.

Also-

- Writing stories is hard. Writing stories for a class and having lots of things that the story has to be is hard. Meh. I want to write a story for fun. But I have a feeling that that wouldn't be very interesting either, 'cause I always try to write my life, and who - really, who? - wants to read that?
Aside from you lovely blog-readers who know me, of course. But even then it doesn't count 'cause this isn't in story form, it's in... eh... reflection form. yeah.
xD

finals are so much fun y'all...
over 'n out.
E.O.

On Hope

Guess what? I have some. A good bit, actually.
It's a good thing to have, I think.
More later.
I'm peopled-out tonight... spent most of the day with my favorite chinese-american, and had an intense conversation with a dear friend. I can't listen to anyone else's words tonight... probably not tomorrow morning, either. We'll see.

Bona Nit.
E.O.

impulses

impulses: you shouldn't always follow them.
I'm afraid that I just cut off my favorite part of my hair and got a haircut that I a) had two years ago b) knew I didn't like and c) had just finished growing out, finally.
WHAT WAS I THINKING? I couldn't tell you. But I wish I could go back in time and persuade my yesterday-self that that was a bad idea, that I should just get it trimmed and be done with it.
Of course, on the other end of things, the hairstyle I had just before it got cut was the hairstyle I'd had three years ago, which I also disliked. But at least that hairstyle was longer, so I had more options of how to fix it. Really, I wish I could come up with a third hairstyle, go back in time, show it to myself, and fix this regret issue I've got going on at the moment.
As it is, I guess I'll just have to sigh and learn to like what I've got. I mean... it doesn't look bad. And heck, it's just protein strands growing out of my head, who really cares? :P I know that last sentence isn't the whole truth, but it was fun to say that proteins are growing out of my head. Hehe. Anyways.
Over 'n out.

Wishes

Today, I got my wish. A wish I've had for about two months now.

I sat on a secret roof, talking and watching the sun set over the city with my favorite chinese-american. It was beautiful.

Updates

So, let's see... what has been happening to me recently...
Good heavens. How do I even put it into words? School as usual, of course, and developing new friendships, and keeping up old ones. I've been booked solid for so long that getting three hours or so to myself last night to just finish homework and do laundry and listen to music made me feel like a new person. And honestly, it was time: I don't think I'd done laundry in like, a month, and I was running simultaneously out of shorts, underwear and shirts. I ALMOST started wearing my bathing suit around, and that's what let me know that this had gone on for WAY too long. :P
Oh, and I have a new favorite song that I discovered. It's Chris Rice (no surprises there, xD) and has been around for a while, but it's the right song for now. =) It's called "Sleepyhead Sun" and I won't bother you by posting the lyrics, just go listen to it if you want.
I'm sure I have some thoughts racketing around in there (in my head I mean), but I really need to get dressed (what to wear?? it's been so long since I had a choice! :P) and get to class.
over 'n out.

I found it!

This week's heart-song. I found it by accident, as all good heart-songs are found. Well, it's more like the heart-song for the past two months, but anyway, here 'tis:

Everything's Ok, by Chris Rice
Looked out my window last night,
From my pillow and I,
Saw the willows weeping a causal sigh.
Man in the moon looked rather,
Sad and confused as if he'd,
Become a mirror to my watery eyes.
I dreamed and prayed through the night,
Please send some grace with your morning light

Chorus
Then he sent you along like a summer day
With a blue-sky smile on your funny face
And a bird flew by singing eveything's gonna be ok, yeah
So we laughed all day with the man in the moon
And we thanked the good Lord for the afternoon
'Cause he showed me His love by sending me you
And it's ok now
Everything's ok.

Opened my window tonight,
Hear the rain falling light,
Whispering that everything in alright.
Long, low, and gentle rumble,
Starts in the west and tumbles,
Across the corners of the colorless sky.
I blow a kiss through the dark,
Sails on the thunder and reaches heaven's heart.

Chorus
'Cause he sent you along like a summer day
With a blue-sky smile on your funny face
And a bird flew by singing eveything's gonna be, ok yeah
So we laughed all day with the man in the moon
And we thanked the good Lord for the afternoon
'Cause he showed me His love by sending me you
And it's ok now
Everything's ok.

[instrumental interlude]

We laughed all day,
And we thanked the good Lord,
Cause He showed me His love,
Ok now.

Chorus
And he sent you along like a summer day
With a blue-sky smile on your funny face
And a bird flew by singing eveything's gonna be ok, yeah
So we laughed all day with the man in the moon
And we thanked the good Lord for the afternoon
'Cause he showed me His love by sending me you
And it's ok now
//Everything's ok, yeah//
Everything's ok.

It's funny, 'cause that's kinda sorta exactly how things happened, too. =)
