[why do you let me stay here?] -she&him

Why don't you sit right down and stay awhile?
We like the same things and I like your style
Its not a secret; why do you keep it?
I'm just sitting on the shelf

I got to get your presence
Let's make it known
I think you're just so pleasant
I would like you for my own

a billion odd people....

I'd be your one and only, but I'd only let you down. Well I want your love but I don't know what I'd do with it. 'Cause there's a hundred fifty thousand people better than me no, there's a hundred million people that are better for you, no there's a billion odd people that are better than me...but you don't know them, and they don't care about you..

all the little random things.

like eating candy a certain way when you're little...
(did you lick your blow pop or bite into the center right away?)

or the way that very occassionally the song that's been in your head all day long comes on the radio & you spend 'til the first chorus jumping up & down excited &
mayhaps texting someone to tell them it happened.

hideous garden gnomes in people's front yards.

finally learning to blow bubbles with your gum, learning to snap your fingers. (i'd say learning to whistle, but i still can't.)

the weird colored blobs you see in front of your eyes when you rub them.

meeting someone in the most randomest way & becoming best mates later on (eh, almost sounds like a fan page thing on facebook?)

llamas instead of horses or cows in a field.

[& merry-happy e-mails you don't expect.]

is this REAL LIFE? (well, yeah. but i'm not on novacaine.)

-springs in 11 DAYS!!! *squee*

& eclipse party tomorrow....i do so love an excuse to make salsa, play quelf, go to a stupid movie, sleep for not very long, & MAKE WAFFLES (in the morning ;)

now playing: red hot chili peppers, dani california. ahhh.

missin' caro, so glad she's having such a chillax summer with no chemistry tests, man.

what an amazing family God stuck me in.

emily kiesling, i'd also like to say thanks for such a fantasmically funny day yest. "it's a fat camp?!?"

(watch heavyweights, hysterical film)

"For the word of the LORD is upright,
and all his work is done in faithfulness.
He loves righteousness and justice;
the earth is full of the steadfast love of the LORD."

-Psalm 33.

common threads & ideas to add to the lists.

Great Hope

is the best, besides being the best already

because it's our common thread

&

one can never go wrong

talking about it

-since truth is so rare-

but also,

i want to fill water balloons with paint & find some darts to throw against a white backdrop & see

what kind of art we could come up with

& find candy legos & build a chalky city.

i don't feel angry that i have to wait

anticipation wins out,

like it almost never does.

THIS IS MY SONG (carbon leaf)

My name is Luck, this is my song
I happened by while you were gone, well...
I apologize that I could not stay
But I hope good things swing your way
I know they will... here's your horseshoe
So best of luck to you

For the stable running brave
From the cradle to the grave
This is my day, this is my song
I am alive... what can go wrong?
If we're on our way-oh, ok let me know
If we're on our way-oh, ok then, let's go

My name is Hope, Luck just ran out
He said he'd return, without a doubt
(ah, but don't you believe him!)
Oh, I happen to have a message from Love
She told me she knows what you've been dreaming of
My name is Hope, this is my song
When things go wrong

For the stable running brave
From the cradle to the grave
This is my day, this is my song
I am alive, what can go wrong?
If we're on our way-oh, ok let me know
If we're on our way-oh, ok then, let's go

Through the windswept countryside
Across the great divide
For the stable running brave
From the cradle to the grave

This is my day, this is my song
As long as I'm alive what can go wrong?
If we're on our way-oh, ok let me know
If we're on our way-oh, ok then, let's go

grapevine fires...

so mayhaps i listen to too much death cab for cutie, but their kind of sad music makes me think about winter, something i know scarcely anything about.

[so i like it]

& another excuse is that it reminds me of days when i listened to it & it caused me to feel deep helpless sorrow. now i can look at it from the outside, knowing i'm no slave to fear.

it's still a sort of precipice i should stay away from, i daresay.

but emotional adrenaline is

[just one more thing i'm not sure about]
