left a message on AIM for most of the day today, explaining my crazy busy schedule. Got 10 messages back. WOW. it was really cool, and I'd tell you why, except that I am tired and must go to bed.

check this out. haha. Canada. yeeaaaah.

I'm joining Unleashed, an acapella group at the U, and everybody should totally listen to some of the recording snippets. Granted, they're not the best sound quality, but it gives you an idea of the repetoire. I'm also trying out for the small group on Friday.

Things to do tomorrow: chem homework, chem quiz, Haunted House debriefing, visit with 182 Dude, get ready to go home for a night this weekend. Speaking of which, I'm hoping to catch "the scottish play" this weekend. Irish boy, you wanna go? Wait, are you IN it? I didn't think so... anyway. I'll call you.

i can't get to sleep
i think about the implications
i've gotten in too deep
and possibly the complications
especially at night
i worry over situations
i know it'll be all right
perhaps it's just imagination

men at work - overkill

I hate the musical "The Newsies". just so there's no confusion. Jeezy creezy, whoever thought of that for a musical?

Should do more homework, I know! why am I blogging?

Tried out for really cool improv group today. If I don't make it (highly probable; lots of talent here), i'm gong to either form a new improv group or see how much interest there is in making a new a capella group. we did one activity involving music, and it seemed that there would be some decent people for pop a capella. and THAT will only be necessary if Unleashed sucks a fat one. Which it probably doesn't; just the recordings do.

it's a long way to when you first met her.

also learned to make paper cranes today. it was tizight, yo. I think I've made a grand total of 4, and am planning to make one before bed and see if I can send it through the mail to Batman.

tomorrow's my hardest day, as far as activities go. wish me luck.

night all.

I should come with a description attached to my forehead, or something. "Smart girl who still has trouble with self-image. Likes to knit, read, procrastinate, and discover things. Has trouble with transitions. Likes to be surrounded with people she knows, or at least recognizes. Obsessed with German but cannot figure out a way to make it relevant to her professional life; actually has no professional life to speak of. Enjoys acting, singing, and doing other artsy things but is only mediocre in all of them. Thinks she knows so much. Has much to learn."

Just add "enjoys long walks on the beach" and some crazy acronym like "WSF N/S", and you've got yourself a personal ad.

my friend assures me, "it's all or nothing"
I am not worried, I am not overly concerned
my friend implores me, "for one time only, make an exception"
I am not worried
wrap her up in a package of lies, send her off to a coconut island
I am not worried, I am not overly concerned
with the status of my emotions though, she says they're changing
we're always changing
it does not bother me to say, "this isn't love
because if you don't want to talk about it then it isn't love
and I guess I'm gonna have to live with that
but I'm sure there's something in the shade of grey or something in between
and I can always change my name if that's what you need"
My friend assures me "it's all or nothing"
but I am not really worried
I am not overly concerned
you try to tell yourself the things you try to tell yourself to make yourself forget
To make yourself forget
I am not worried
"If it's love" she says, "then we're gonna have to think about the consequences"
She can't stop shaking, I can't stop touching her and this time
when kindness falls like rain
it washes her away
and Anna begins to change her mind
"these seconds when I'm shaking leave me shuddering for days" she says
and I'm not ready for this sort of thing
but I'm not gonna break
and I'm not going to worry about it anymore
I'm not gonna bend. And I'm not gonna break and
I'm not gonna worry about it anymore
It seems like I should say "as long as this is love... "
but it's not all that easy so maybe I should just
snap her up in a butterfly net
pin her down on a photograph album
I am not worried
I've done this sort of thing before
but then I start to think about the consequences
because I don't get much sleep in a quiet room and this time
when kindness falls like rain
it washes me away
and Anna begins change my mind
and every time she sneezes I believe it's love
and oh lord, I'm not ready for this sort of thing
she s talking in her sleep, it s keeping me awake
and Anna begins to toss and turn
and every word is nonsense but I understand and oh lord
I'm not ready for this sort of thing
her kindness bangs a gong, it's moving me along
and Anna begins to fade away
It's chasing me away
she disappears
and oh lord
I'm not ready for this sort of thing

Interesting weekend. Lots of putzing around and not really doing much. Got my laundry done yesterday, so that was productive. Decided not to go to the football game, which from one perspective is stupid because I had already bought a ticket to it, but on the the other hand, it was rainy and cold, and we lost. To NEVADA. How sad is that?

Went to Value Village Friday afternoon, which was interesting in the sense that we spent about an hour total in travel just to get to Capitol Hill. Probably could have planned that trip better. My bad. But, on the bright side, we didn't have to pay for bus use due to the UPass, and I bought two shirts and two hats for a little over 7 dollars. Not bad, not bad. Sure do have to sift through a lot of junk to find the keepers, though.

Hokay, homework time. Really. I mean it this time. Soooo much chemistry to do.

I never thought you were a fool
but darlin' look at you
you gotta stand up straight
carry your own weight
these tears are going nowhere baby
you've got to get yourself together
you got stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it
don't say that later will be better
now you're stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it
