Not going to happen: Sleeping past 11am for many days, not wanting experiences, not wanting adventure, making excuses

She loves adventure, loves new people and places, loves to laugh, smile, interact, dance, experience life and music, culture, the world!

To quote an overused Robert Frost poem:
"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."

When time comes to be completely independent in a foreign land, I hope I am able to go the right way and recognize when I need change or re-evaluation.

One o' those

I am telling myself I'm not feeling something that I am obviously feeling. It's like I deny it in so many ways, but then deep deep down somewhere in my subconscious--or somewhere in my heart--I know it's there.

See Right Through Me by Mobile = this is, "one o' those songs" for me

"one o' those songs"
it's a memory
full of emotion
eyes closed tight
wide sound

Violet Hill

So. Coldplay has a new single. It just came out this past week (Tues. 4/29) and it completely has blown me A-WAYYY.

Violet Hill by Coldplay.

There are so many things about this song that get me.. The beginning starts by quietly pulling you out into space. The chilling voice of Chris Martin, a few chords being struck on the piano, the immediate marching beat... It completely takes a hold of me and my body from the beginning; I cannot help but close my eyes and move to the beat.. The beat... The beat.. The beat.. it's consistent. So consistent throughout the entirety of the song. The guitar and the drums are heavy and intense. When the march stops and the song is nearly ending...... Martin's voice calms down, the piano is slow; you can hear distinct notes and not just the pounding chords. This quiet ending... this soft, beautiful ending.... It gives me the chills. If I'm listening via headphones and get the whole experience? Yeah, I won't lie--my eyes water up a bit. Not even listening to the words of the song... it's the way Chris Martin sings it... the way the song is so intense and then all of a sudden it floats in space again.. I become overwhelmed with emotion. It's so beautiful! So powerful!

These are the songs I live for!

I'm home

I'm back home from school. It's a little weird to be back so far but it's not bad.

My first mission is to donate 1/2 of my clothes and get rid of all the junk I have collected for the past 20 years. It looks as though a bomb went off in my room; it's a total disaster! I've done pretty well with the clothes part, but as always.. I hesitate to donate a lot of it because, "Oh I'll need that one day."

Talk about distractions. Sheesh I am such a case of ADD today. Bumping around forgetting things, getting distracted, changing my mind. Bleh. Alright.

My second mission is to find myself a job I enjoy. At first I was thinking it'd be fun to work in a restaurant. Now I am thinking I'd rather work at Silver Platters. I am going to go in tomorrow and see if I can meet a manager and maybe apply for a job there. The hours are 10am-10pm Monday thru Saturday and 10am-7pm on Sundays. It might suck to have to work on weekends but I'd have fun I think.

Okay enough for now I'm too much of a space case to make much sense.
