wow.
I'd never been to an actual music concert before. I must say, it was AWESOME. Jason Mraz's voice is insanely incredible. I loved everything he played, but was especially impressed by "Curbside Prophet", "You and I Both", and of course "The Remedy." Plus, at one point he broke into this glorious opera singing - it was unlike anything I've ever heard before. Amazing. I think I'm in love. :)
So the concert made my otherwise droll birthday into a memorable evening. I mean, who wants to have two exam-thingies and a wicked cold on your birthday? Better than finals, I guess.
WWU tomorrow, and will return to UW on Saturday. I hope I have everybody's contact info.
why are there so many songs about rainbows
and what's on the other side
rainbows are visions but only illusions
and rainbows have nothing to hide
so we've been told (and some choose to believe)
I know they're wrong (wait and see)
someday we'll find it - the Rainbow Connection
the lovers, the dreamers, and me
who said that every wish would be heard and answered
we wish on the morning star
somebody thought of that and someone believed it
look what it's done so far
what's so amazing that keeps us stargazing?
and what do we think we might see?
someday we'll find it - the Rainbow Connection
the lovers, the dreamers, and me
all of us under its spell
we know that it's probably magic
have you been half-asleep
and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name
is this the sweet sound that called the young sailors?
the voice might be one and the same
I've heard it too many times to ignore it
it's something that I'm s'posed to be
someday we'll find it - the Rainbow Connection
the lovers, the dreamers, and me
Jason Mraz totally covered this song tonight - it was beautiful... *sigh*

time feels gone and wasted. I extended my weekend too much... it's possible to have too much of a good thing when it comes to breaks. okay, well I think it was worth it today, curtailing my studying to hang out with friend and friend's new boyfriend (not sure if they're together yet, but I'm hoping) and the boyfriend's friend, whom he brought with him. Just being around them all was comfortable and fun, making me feel the most at home that I have felt since I've been here. I was tres happy, even if it did mean I had to watch the "Fat Butt and Pancake Head" episode of South Park for what must be the 3rd or 4th time. "Taco taco, taco burrito..."
Am going to Western this weekend. Don't know the exact time of arrival or departure. I will email everyone I can think of and ask them for contact info. Probably won't get around to seeing everybody, but I'd like to try, at any rate.
Can anybody tell me what the 11th thing is in Benson's Superbrain thingy? Here's all i can remember:
1 is the sun
2 are my eyes
3 is a triangle
4 is a stove
5 are my fingers
6 pick up sticks
7 is seven up
8's an octopus
9's a line
10's a hen
11 is fenceposts
12's a dozen eggs
13's a black cat (meow!)
14's a heart
15 is "fifteen minutes of fame!"
16's a driver's license
17's a magazine
18's a vote
19's a remote
20 is 20/20 vision
hokay, so I remembered all of it. Nevermind.
look ma, nothing's gonna change
everything's still remains the same
I can't do what 10 people tell me to do
so I guess I'll remain the same
sittin' here resting my bones
and this loneliness won't leave me alone
two thousand miles I roam
just to make this dock my home
i'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
watchin' the tide roll away
sittin' on the dock of the bay
wastin' time
Otis Redding - Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay

yay for clubbing! you do get some weirdos there, but for the most part it was a lot of fun. you also get completely sweaty and your feet end up hurting a lot, which sucks but is reality (at least for me). My evening was made when I hooked up one of my friends with someone. He looked SO estatic and thanked me profusely after we left (they exchanged email addresses! yay!). Call me Miss Match.
I also *finally* ran into my 2nd cousin at the club. She goes to my school but we haven't seen each other at all for the whole month we've been here. Funny that we would run into each other downtown instead of on campus. Anyway, we're meeting for lunch today, which makes me happy.
alrighty, chemistry homework time. woot!
Lord, I don't like to see so much pain
so much wasted
and this moment keeps slipping away
and I get so tired
working so hard for our survival
and I look to the time with you
to keep me awake and alive
but all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
in your eyes
the light, the heat
I am complete
we see the doorway of a thousand churches
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
oh I see the light and the heat
I wanna be that complete
I wanna touch the light, the heat I see
in your eyes

so, the weekend. Friday was the most frickin' coolest thing EVER, in that I went to something called a "gypsy party" with some people from McMahon. It was put on by some SPU seniors, which is kinda random... the girls I was with knew them from youth group. So yeah, the theme was gypsy, and about half the people were dressed up, and we ate some tasty rice-and-bean dish and danced to crazy violin and flute music. later we even made our own music, playing drums and fiddles and horns and basses... it was amazing. We made so much noise... i'm surprised we didn't get complaints. The house was on a hill in Freemont and had an amazing view - lights as far as you could see. I wanna live there!
So that was fun. Last night was also good clean fun, going with my seminar group to dinner at an Indian restaurant on the Ave. We were also supposed to go to a play ("The Imaginary Invalid") but dinner ran late. It was good indian food though, something which I'd never tried. The mango lassi could have been better. Later I watched a scary Japanese movie with a guy down the hall, and then got to see a friend who was visiting from WSU. Needless to say, last night was a late one.
Today's plan? So far, I've been reading a novel and eating yogurt. I should probably work on doing something productive, like studying or going to the IMA. Yeah, I think I'll get on to one of those.
I'm excited for Thursday! first concert and a change of age! whoohoo
then the girl in the cafe taps me on the shoulder
i realize five years went by and I'm older
memories smolder, the winter's colder
but that same piano loops over and over and over
the road shines and the rain washes away
the same chinese takeaway selling stuff in a tray
the star curl round, i walk down
same sights same sounds
new beats though
solid concrete under my feet
no surprises, no treats
the world stands still as my mind sloshes round
the washing-up bowl in my crown
my life's been up and down since I walked from that crowd

by the way, that poll needs to be turned - it's currently stating The Simpsons as the best show. Family Guy is good too! c'mon!
And I don't recommend continuing with the pop quiz once you get to rumandmonkey.com. The questions are kinda stupid.
anyway, ya, saw Matrix Revolutions last night. Just kinda had to get it over with to see what happens. I wasn't all that excited. Somewhere along the line, it lost its magic for me.. probably at about the point when I saw the second one for the second time. It was still entertaining, though, and I like how it makes me think. A revelation every minute. Woot.
Okay, well class in an hour. I'll leave you with this:
who knows how much further we'll go on
maybe I'll be sorry when you're gone
I'll take my chances
I forgot how nice romance is
I haven't been there for the longest time
I had said good thoughts at the start
I said to myself, "hold on to your heart"
now I know the woman that you are
you're wonderful so far
and it's all that I hoped for
I don't care what consequence it brings
I have been a fool for lesser things
I want you so bad
I think you ought to know that I intend to hold you
for the longest time

Mitch Hedberg is the man, yo. Check it out:
I like vending machines, because snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at the store oftentimes I will drop it, so that is achieves its maximum flavor potential.
I bought a seven dollar pen, because I always lose pens and I got sick of not caring.
I think pickles are cucumbers that sold out. They sold their soul to the devil, and the devil is dill...
I bought a doughnut and they gave me a receipt for the doughtnut...I don't need a receipt for the doughnut - I give you money and you give me the doughnut, end of transaction. We don't need to bring ink and paper into this. I can't imagine a scenario that I would have to prove that I bought a doughnut. To some skeptical friend: "Don't even act like I didn't buy a doughnut, I've got the documentation right here... It's in the file. Under "D"."
It's funnier when you hear him actually say it. That's the best. Want more? Go here.
Also, a friend gave this to me. The whole site takes a while to read but MAN, is it funny.
Okay, chem time. Quiz in 2 hours. yikes!
I know you don't think you did me wrong
and I can't stay here, not for long
keeping ahold of what you just let go
you're just somebody that I used to know
Elliot Smith, bless his soul

no no, my dear IrishGuy, you don't understand. At college (well at least here at the U) you can buy stuff at the convience store located in the next dorm over. Ice cream. cookies. candy. chips. ALL ON YOUR MEAL PLAN. it's good and AWFUL at the same time.
so, funniest convo I've had tonight (online, but the names are deleted to protect the innocent):
my friend: taco, taco, taco, burrito!
me: let's make a run for the border..
my friend: if you plan to take off my top...
me: you know what I want to order...
my friend: three tacos, two tostados and a soda pop
my friend: yeah
my friend: and dont forget the hot sauce chulo
man, I love south park.

oh yeah, all right, feels good inside. - weezer.
skipped chemistry today in the interest of getting myself some physical fitness. I hope we didn't learn much. oh, wait, we NEVER do, because the lectures are WORTHLESS. have to learn everything out of the book... grumble grumble.
feelin' content today. I'm hoping the jason mraz concert next week will be good.
stupid leftover halloween candy. it's frickin' everywhere.
so, sleep tonight? go to the Inn? visit south campus yet again? or do homework? so many choices, so little time. I think I'll start with a shower. Adios.
i'm not feeling all right today
i'm not feeling that great
i'm not catching on fire today
love has started to fade
i'm not going to smile today
i'm not gonna laugh
you're out livin' it up today
i've got dues to pay
the gravedigger puts on the foreceps
the stone mason does all the work
the barber can give you a haircut
the carpenter can take you out to lunch
but I just want to play on my panpipes
I just want to drink me some wine
as soon as you're born you start dying
so you might as well have a good time

as fun as the chatterbox is, I'm thinking of terminating its existence. it causes trouble in the form of unwanted popups which tend to reset people's homepages.
this feels not so much like home, but like life. and I'm liking life. if only college didn't add so many pounds... i feel like my butt has multiplied itself by a factor of 10. probably not far from the truth. eh, I'm going to work out tomorrow. it'll be fantastic.
finished a week's worth of chem homework about an hour ago, and got it all sent in to webassign. ran to the library to clear my head (and also to get my thrice-renewed rented movies back before the midnight deadline), and now I can't sleep. on an unrelated note, ever wonder why we were never allowed to do this kind of stuff at home? you know, late night runs in the cold and dark, and staying up til 2 in the morning, and chatting online a lot? BECAUSE IT'S BAD. That's why.
met really cool boy as of late. I guess he talks about me a lot? this was interpreted by a third party to mean that he likes me? which doesn't make any sense because, unbeknownst to the 3rd party, this boy is gay. yeah, missed a step there. awwright. anyway, he's fun to hang out with. He and I and a few other people (including Manzanita) took a trip at 2 friday night (saturday morning?) to the international district to get some chinese food. (why chinese food so far away? because we were looking for a KFC and we didn't find any, and finally the bus driver called out "last stop", so we got off). decent chinese food and a fun time. then last night, the same group of us watched a ripped version of X2, which I had never seen. Good stuff.
I really do want to live on south campus. I could make it happen, but then I'd be outta luck when TC shuts down operations in the spring. A girl's gotta eat! I guess I'll be satisfied with going down there every other night. hmm.
you in the traffic for all eternity
how could that speed be where you want to be
don't you really want instant pleasure?
think that all these folks that may
do it cuz the pay is great
what you thinking anyway
if drinking coffee's your idea of being cool
you can't expect no crazy chick to notice you
just sittin' there dreamin' instant pleasure
that song doesn't really make sense.. silly Rufus Wainwright

hokay, just kidding. College isn't so bad. The folks down in T/L are actually quite cool. and I bought a sweater the other night for 9 dollah. fantastic!
mmm sweepy time. I really need to regulate when I go to bed.
here are a few of my current favorite sites:
end of the world
mario twins (hey slade! shiggity shiggity shwa... guess what idiot!)
this one isn't really my fav website, but it certainly is what the double-pumpkin that JFrey and I bought yesterday will *hopefully *l ook like once we're done carving it tomorrow.
happy halloween everybody!
this excerpt doesn't really give the song justice. But I'll post part of it here anyway:
say it ain't so
your drug is a heartbreaker
say it ain't so
my love is a lifetaker
oh yeah Weezer

Am on my way to church... a 9:30 youth group? who ever heard of such a thing? yay college.
Then a German quiz to study for. The fun never ends around here!
based on your smile
I'm betting all of this might be over soon
but you're bound to win
cuz if I'm betting against you
I think I'd rather lose
but this is all that I have
so please
take what's left of this broken heart and use
please use only what you really need
you know I only have so little so please
mend your broken heart and leave
I know it's not your style
I can tell by the way that you move it's real real soon
but I'm on your side
and I don't wanna be your regret
I'd rather be your cocoon
this is all that you have
so please
let me take what's left of your heart and I will use
I swear I'll use only what I need
I know you only have so little so please
let me mend your broken heart
I love Jack Johnson
