a long december
and there's reason to believe
that maybe this year will be better
than the last
i can't remember
the last thing that you said
cuz you were leaving
and the days go by so fast
and it's one more day up in the canyons
and it's one more night in hollywood
if you think that i could be forgiven
i wish you would
the smell of hospitals and winter
and the feeling that it's all a lot of oysters
and no pearls
and all at once you look across a crowded room
and see the way that light attaches to a girl
and it's one more day up in the canyons
and it's one more night in hollywood
if you think you might come to california
i think you should

added Evil Ninja's Insult of the Day. See? See how it replaced the chatterbox? All is good now.
we (meaning tr00 and I) have dug up some real gems in recent days concerning.... well, nothing, really. But these are too good to not post. (hmm, I forget exactly how the one about catholicism went. but this one is good:)
Tr00 (on deciding which dorm to apply to for next year, McCarty or McMahon): "I guess what it comes down to is, which would I rather have: you, or a balcony?"
Classic. Anyway, methinks it's time for lunch, followed by some working out, and then perhaps a nap. And then school work, yeah. Maybe one of these days I'll get around to posting something that is actually fun, useful, insightful, or quirky. Until then, I'll leave you with some Jason Mraz. (And this. And this.)
so go on, place your order now
this "some other time" is right around the clock
you can't stand in line
well it finally begins
oh, just around the block
you can have your pick if your stomach is sick
whether you eat or not
and there's just one thing that I almost forgot
see, you and me we lay awake in lust
in rust and the rain, in front of everything
we say we trust, well it happened again
hallways end in doors where the rivers unwind
the rivers unwind so easy, oh these other couples that be

dude. So, chem lecture was actually interesting this morning. I got a lot out of it. Why do I feel so awake this morning? It doesn't feel at all like I stayed up until 2:30 AM talking with Tr00. (btw, he informed me that Tr00 is spelled with two zeros instead of the letter "o". Go figure.) And it wasn't the coffee either - I felt this way before drinking it. Must have something to do with the gorgeous sunlight. This is the way weather should be - sunny, but not hot, with a little bit of a breeze. Clear blue sky. Yeah, that's the ticket. Man, this is the best I've felt all week.
Just got back from breakfast with BK. Plans for today include German at 10:30, lunch at 11:30 (but i'm not going to be hungry!) bubble tea with tr00 at 1:30, frisbee practice at 3, and then fun times after that yet to be announced (probably some quality IMA time and then just chillin'). Tomorrow is Rocky Horror Picture Show, for which I am excited, and then Sunday is a capella rehearsal, which is also exciting because we're going to start singing my arrangement of "Say it Ain't So"!!! woot!
alright, word to your mother, brother or significant other. (that's not quite the line from "Lock Stock" that I was looking for... ah nevermind.)

back at school. naturally. and of course i'm not in 'school mode' yet, so i'm putzing around doing close to nothing, just exercising a lot and playing around. tonight I'm going to the library though, from 4-6, and no one can stop me! har.
organized a frisbee team. if you are female and are currently attending UW, please contact me if you would like to play with us. we need more female players (we've met the male quota).
finished composing the acapella version of "Say it Ain't So" by Weezer. it's gonna rock, I hope. looks pretty good anyway. sounds good when Finale plays the MIDI, anyway.
So. Yeah. Sitting here. Should be napping. I only get until 1:45, and then I have to go work out. yay?
i flip on the telly
i wrestle with jimmy
something is bubbling
behind my back
the bottle is ready to blow
say it ain't so
your drug is a heartbreaker
say it ain't so
my love is a life taker

i had tender feelings that you made hard
but it's your heart, not mine, that's scarred
so when i go home i'll be happy to go
you're just somebody that i used to know
you don't need my help anymore
it's all now to you, there ain't no before
now that you're big enough to run your own show
you're just somebody that i used to know
i watched you deal in a dying day
and throw the living past away
so you can be sure that you're in control
you're just somebody that i used to know
i know you don't think you did me wrong
and i can't stay this way for long
keeping ahold of what you just let go
you're just somebody that i used to know

home! YAY!
i'm sure the novelty will wear off, but for now i'm very happy to be here. especially since my sister made me a sign that says "WELCOME HOME KYLA!" and put it on the front door. man, I love my family.
stayed up way too late last night writing a paper, so I think i'm going to hit the sack. but since i now have a computer on which I can play, I just had to do this:
US states that I have been to:
create your own personalized map of the USA
or write about it on the open travel guide
rah.

oy gewalt! such a lack of motivation i've never seen.
At least I have a little motivation to blog... so I can give you that update of my weekend that i've been promising. Let's see, what did I do...
On Friday we decided that it would be fun to hit up the movie theatres, so we headed towards the Convention Center to see Starsky and Hutch. It was well worth it, I assure you - very funny. "Do it!" "This is going to involve two dragons..." Nice. On Saturday, my father decided to pay a little visit and catch the Stanford vs. UW game. I must have earned the title of "Favorite Daughter" for the day, because I was able to snag him a free ticket to the game, as well as free parking. He was a little bit embarrassing, cheering with my friends/coworkers from parking, but it was hilarious, and so it was acceptable. The game itself was crazy amazing - we won by 13 points. We got to rush the floor (had to leave our very-top-row seats with 30 seconds left in the game in order to achieve this), and we jumped around amidst the rabid purple-clad fans and the cameramen. (Dad had left already by this time. In case you were wondering.) Then, that evening, after a dinner of Teriyaki on the Ave (second night in a row - ugh to repetition) and endless walking around the U District, Troo and I finally settled in with Manzanita and LilHusky to watch The Rocky Horror Picture Show (the first time for Troo and I). It was exactly what it was supposed to be - a send-up of bad B movies. And it was hilarious. Too bad we watched it at Ian's, where there was too much background noise to catch anything but the musical numbers. At least it was big screen so we could see Dr. Frank-n-Furter in his full glory... We are going to get a big group of us together and see it sometime next quarter - me and Troo and LilHusky and Fizzle. Hopefully we can convince the Episcapalian to come along too, and make him dress up. Yay!
Sunday was a whole lot of resting, then some homework, then acapella rehearsal (which went fantastically. we're sounding great. yay for small group!), then a free concert in the music building with Fizzle (some violin and viola soloists, they were good) which only lasted half an hour. Monday night, went to bed tres early again (this could become a weekly habit), Tuesday, spent some unproductive time at the library. And here we are at the present, a sunny Wednesday afternoon, and I need to go do some work before I leave later for cheap food at TCaf (it's closing! *sob*) and "Goodbye, Lenin", a German film. A theatre on Broadway is providing a free sneak preview today at 7, also natuerlich gehen Troo und ich hin, weil wir deutsche Filme gern haben, und Geld auch. :P
kk, i'm gone. have a fantastic day. and enjoy the weather.
plus, listen to Dvorak. he is entirely the man.

lost the championship game last night. went late to acapella and only about a 1/3 of the group showed up. got to ian's an hour before closing, thinking I could finish my lab, and they closed 10 minutes early. didn't feel like going to the library at 11, so went home and stayed up for 2 more hours instead talking to/watching TV with Troo. planned to get up at 7 to get ready and go to the library to finish lab writeup before 8:30 chem quiz section, but woke up at 7:45 instead. had to rush to finish and probably made errors with my calculations. all in all, the last 24 hours haven't looked especially bright. and today is the longest day of the week, with 5 hours of class to attend, and the next one starts in 5 minutes. blah.
i'll list the more positive aspects of the last few days when i'm feeling more optimistic. (probably tonight after work)

ooh, ooh! This song just came up on CPR, and we played it last season for SOGO. I never knew the name - I just knew it was Mendelssohn. How beautiful... oh man, classical music is the best.
Felix Mendelssohn: Hebrides Overture "Fingal's Cave" Op 26
Check out CPR - it's all I listen to in the library nowadays.

oh my goodness, Aaron Copland, how I love you.
i really need to go see the Seattle Symphony. How did I miss Bolero? arrrrgh.
in other news: we won our IM basketball game last night, and championships are tonight at 6:50 at the IMA. too bad everybody has other things going on and can't come cheer us on. ah well, if we win, i'll have a nifty t-shirt to show for it. wednesdays are busy, man.
for today's lyrics: go find Aaron Copland's Rodeo: Four Dance Episodes and listen. you'll love it.

what a scholarly day today.
woke at 5 AM to shower and get to the library by 5:45 so I could set up my computer and get everything ready for registration at 6. (mental note for the future: set insurance options a day prior to registration - those few minutes you spend in advance are worth their weight in gold when 6 AM comes and you know some poor fool is sitting at his/her computer, staring at the screen, waiting for the page to load so they can get the insurance shizzle out of the way - that's 2x as much waiting as you, the planner, have to do. a few extra minutes make all the difference...) yeah, so anyway, went and studied after that, and then got starbucks (ordered the correct scone this time), studied some more... just basically went over things until 9:15 rolled around and I headed to Kane for my chem midterm. i'm optimistic about it - I think it went well. Then there was a German quiz, which turned out to be a lot less work than I expected - no essay or anything, so I was done in 20. Just enough time to grab a sandwich before chem lab, and that was also an hour shorter than usual... so yay! this means I am almost done with about three days' worth of steady, nonstop work. all I have to do in the next 24 hours are the rest of a paper, a chem lab writeup and a presentation, and then I can rest again. woot.
not that i didn't rest this weekend - actually was it quite relaxing. saw some old chs friends from up north and one from plu, so that was fun. went to casino night at mccarty and gambled all my (fake) money away. can't say I didn't come out on top, though... Troo and I won a raffle and got a small pile of CD's. I got a sampler CD and Bering Strait (who are they? dunno) and Troo took the Fabulous CD. we'd rather we had won the movie tickets, but it was fun overall. the sampler CD is actually pretty decent. sunday was a lot of coffee, random solo bus riding, shoe shopping, phone conversing, and lying out in the quad in the sun doing homework. oh, and acapella rehearsal, and the Passion of the Christ, which was... well done. I'll save my criticisms for another post.
had the most annoying experience yesterday in the library. was on a computer at the end of the "silent study area" bank, and the people next to me finished and vacated their spot. A girl from the computer bank behind me immediately came over to the computer - without logging off her own computer - and began downloading AOL instant messenger. she would yell something over to the boy at the other table whenever she felt like it, completely disregarding the concepts of "silent study" and "library". Then she and the boy were flirting, and he dragged her off across the room in her chair. At least they were away from me... not for long though, because the girl's cell phone started ringing, and everyone turned and looked at me as if it were mine. she ran over, laughing, and answered it. argh. THEN she started telling her friend how her roommate didn't like her (wonder why?) and had taken some of her stuff and done something with it (don't know what, but I"m sure if I were her roommate, i'd burn all her possessions). anyway, she kept talking about not getting her towel back, and try as I did to block her out with my headphones, I could still hear her whining about her stupid towel. Finally, the girl loudly proclaimed that she would call her roommate's parents and get her frickin' towel back, so she ran off down the stairs, thankfully. her computer was still logged on, but Troo needed a computer too, and since the girl didn't seem to be doing anything of academic merit, I logged her off and handed it over to him, telling him the story. troo didn't use the computer though - the good boy was trying to avoid confrontation. i'm not as good... i would gladly have yelled at her. stupid ho.
basketball playoffs - we play tomorrow at 7:40. IMs are fun, although I must admit, I get a little too competitive. doesn't bother me, but i'm sure some girls would have something to say about it (the ones who we're up against, for instance...)
am currently trying to figure out how to make amends to a friend. I didn't mean to make him mad, and i'm not used to guy friends being annoyed with me (it's usually girls). and in this case, I don't know if he'll take it the wrong way if I bring him flowers or bake him cookies, or something. anyway. i'll work on it.
alright, i'd better see to that paper now... then I can go take a nap, possibly, maybe get up in time to go to Swing Kids, or maybe just get up and go work on the lab writeup. schweet.
so long ago I don't remember when
that's when they say I lost my only friend
they said she died easy of a broken heart disease
as I listened through the cemetery trees
i've seen the sun coming up at the funeral at dawn
the long broken arm of human law
it always seems such a waste
(she always had a pretty face)
i wondered why she hung around this place
hey
c'mon try a little
nothing is forever
there's got to be something better than in-the-middle
me and cinderella put it all together
we can drive it home with one headlight
the wallflowers - one headlight (FINALLY bought "bringing down the horse" - it was only 4 bucks! woot woot.)
