Everything hits at once - Spoon

Don't Say A Word
The Last One's Still Stinging
Back A My Mind
I Feel That Phone Ringing
And There Is No Way Back From This

Everything Hits At Once
What We Needs Is Just What We Wants
I Go To Sleep But Think That You're Next To Me
I Go To Sleep And Think You're Next To Me

Don't Make A Move
When I Walk Out Don't Follow Me
Out In The Car
Can Feel It Calling Me
And Ooh You're So Far Away

But I Can Still Change My Mind Tonight
I Gotta Change My Mind Somehow
I Go To Sleep Alone But Think That You're Next To Me
Everything Hits At Once Tonight
Outside Is All Lit Up With Ad Lights
In Traffic We Become On The Way Back Home
Part Of Something Bigger Than Just On Our Own

I Gotta Change My Mind Tonight
I Can Still Change My Mind Tonight
Merging In Traffic Cross The Lanes And Then We Become
Something Bigger Than Just Any One
Oh And Everything Hits At Once
What We Needs Is Just What We Wants
I Go To Sleep And Think That You're Next To Me
I Go To Sleep And Think That You're Next To Me

Season of the Shark -- Yo La Tengo

Do you need someone to hide behind
Well I don't mind
Well I don't mind
Do you need to be alone to unwind
Well that's alright
That's alright
Sure I know its hard
Know that it's that way for everyone
For every one
Something go wrong
Sing so low you even blame the sun
You blame is at the cause
Of the shadows on the wall
They're not as bad as they appear
Could it be
that it's the season of the shark

Do you need someone to help you through
Well I don't know
I don't know
Someone to take questions with you
I don't know
I don't know

I want to be
The one to make you feel okay right now
Some way, some how
So when I fall short
I sink so low that I even blame the clouds
For blocking out the sun
And the shadows on the wall
That's why you feel alone

Could it be that it's the season of the shark?

Please don't be afraid
No matter how much out there scares you so
Scares you so
Just look around
If it's not me then someone else you know
And I don't belong at all
Ignore the shadows on the wall
They don't mean a thing
Could it be that it's the season
I believe that it's the season
of the shark

Could it be that it's the season of the shark

i need to do nanowrimo

ugh.
i suck.
is it too late to start?

got tags for my car today.
the three letters are coincidentally wtf.... haha. loves it.
got new work pants and a few shirts
and dead until dark from hastings
and some chinese
now im home watching bh 90210 and enjoying the rest of the day off.
getting a headache, its supposed to rain
need to go to the store and get soda, so i can have my daily caffeine intake.

i really like that the "where the wild things are" commercial features a song by arcade fire.

lovelovelove

Bought my last textbook today- $106. egads. And since the bookstore is conveniently located next to a liquor store, I bought premix pina colada. So when I got home from class, I broke out the blender we have never used and made myself a frozen pina colada drink. NOMMY.

I am so completely confused by my Psych of Sensation and Perception class I think I might want to drop it. I have a degree in English and my biology background is nonexistent. The class is purely the biology of psychology. We spent the last 2 days talking about axons and neurons and transmitters and calcium doorways and other stuff I will never understand..

Went to the new house today to measure walls and things and they haven't even started cleaning it yet. Which upsets me to no end, because it's filthy. And it still smells like pee. I hope they have it cleaned before the 23rd because that's when we are moving in. The giant screen tv Zac bought this weekend is getting delivered to it on the 26th and the 29th is installation of home theatre day.

Insomnia woke me up at 8 am this morning, after maybe 4 hrs of sleep, but there was a story in my head, so I started writing. It's been too long since I've done that.
Got new shoes last night in a terribly thought out impulse purchase. They are orange polka-dot slip-ons and they are awesome.
Gonna work on my story now and play Oblivion later, because that was impulse purchased as well. So was Bioshock, but it was a two pack.

someone hacked all my stuff recently and im trying to clean up the mess.

so sorry if anything has come through here or any other venue that was very out of character.
the fuckers deleted my lj and changed it to chinese.

hopefully i can get this issue resolved.
if not, there's gonna be repercussions, involving motor vehicles and the emergency room.

looking for a new place to live is stressful.
found a few things on craigslist that sound promising.
a house and a duplex.
hopefully something good with come from this.
going to bonnaroo tomorrow. fun times.

Fill up your mind with all it can know
Don't forget that your body will let it all go
Fill up your mind with all it can know
What would we be without wishful thinking

Chambers of chains
With red plastic mouths
The inside of outside
No one has found
How to unring the bell
It's just as well

The turntable sizzles
Casting the spells
The pressure devices
Hell in a nutshell
Is any song worth singing
If it doesn't help

Fill up your mind with all it can know
Don't forget that your body will let it all go
Fill up your mind with all it can know
'Cause what would love be without wishful thinking

Open your arms as far as they will go
We take off your dress
An embarrassing poem
Was written when I was alone
In love with you

I shook down those lines
To shine up the streets
I got up off my hands and knees
To thank my lucky stars that you're not me

What would we be without wishful thinking
What would we be without wishful thinking
What would we be without wishful thinking

we no longer have the internet, or cable, or netflix for that matter.

ive spent the last week studying and reading lots of books.
and playing xbox 360- fallout mostly
and annoying my friends/neighbors/coworkers.

so what little updates i give will probably be few and far between
and from my phone

im using the parental internets right now.
woo hoo.

virginia trip this weekend, probably updates then since i take my computer everywhere.

loose lips might sink ships but loose gooses take trips
to san francisco, double dutch disco,
tech tv hottie, do it for scotty
do it for the living and do it for the dead
do it for the monsters under your bed
do it for the teenagers and do it for your mom
broken hearts hurt but they make us strong and

we won't stop until somebody calls the cops
and even then we'll start again and just pretend that
nothing ever happened

we won't stop until somebody calls the cops
and even then we'll start again and just pretend that
nothing ever happened

we're just dancing, we're just hugging,
singing, screaming, kissing, tugging
on the sleeve of how it used to be
how's it gonna be?
i'll drop kick russell stover, move into the starting over house
and know matt rouse and jest are watching me achieve my dreams

and we'll pray, all damn day, every day,
that all this shit our president has got us in will go away
while we strive to figure out a way we can survive
these trying times without losing our minds

so if you wanna burn yourself remember that I LOVE YOU
and if you wanna cut yourself remember that I LOVE YOU
and if you wanna kill yourself remember that I LOVE YOU
call me up before your dead, we can make some plans instead
send me an IM, i'll be your friend

shysters live from scheme to scheme and my 4th quarter pipe dreams
are seeming more and more worth fighting for
so i'll curate some situations, make my job a big vacation
and i'll say FUCK BUSH AND FUCK THIS WAR
my war paint is sharpie ink and i'll show you how much my shit stinks
and ask you what you think because your thoughts and words are powerful
they think we're disposable, well both my thumbs opposable
are spelled out on a double word and triple letter score

we won't stop until somebody calls the cops
and even then we'll start again and just pretend that
nothing ever happened

we won't stop until somebody calls the cops
and even then we'll start again and just pretend that
nothing ever happened

we're just dancing, we're just hugging,
singing, screaming, kissing, tugging
on the sleeve of how it used to be

----------------------

ive been listening to this song on repeat all day
the line "i'll drop kick russell stover" is especially telling since i used to work for russell stover candies. ha.

done with this damn paper now i need to find someone with a printer with ink so i can print it and be done.

writing my hel paper. need 2 more pages. all i really need to do is edit the paper and make it clearer and expand on some things.

reading the silver chair in the chronicles of narnia.

i am lame on a saturday, yes. but i have no other time to do these things. the paper is due tuesday and tomorrow lee is off all day so i will have no peace. and monday i have classes.

theory final on wednesday and i havent read jack for this unit at all. tuesday after hel will be reading and studying theory day.

writing my social darwinism paper for american lit.
i really want to chop my hands off so i dont have to type anymore
ive been sitting here since almost 10 am typing and writing and rewriting and thinking and analyzing and i just dont want to anymore

paper is due at 8 am tomorrow and ive written 3 drafts so far and they all suck. so now im taking the best parts and editing them and combining them together

and its thundering and lightning outside and i cant bring the plants in b/c they are superheavy.

i hope the electricity doesnt go out that would suck alot.

drinking a fat tire and trying in vain to finish my homeworks.

so far i've managed:
7 pages of a 10 page research paper (ive got all my sources though so yay)
2 pages of a 5 page research paper (no sources yet and i think i may have to change topics)
4 pages of a 5 page response paper (i need to edit this and possibly just ramble on a bit more b/c i made a c on the first paper in this class)

i also need to read hamlet, some short story for american lit (i havent even looked at it yet so i dont really know whats going on in that class next week)
and i need to read about 12 anthropology theory chapters because i havent kept up with the readings this unit. they bore me and ive fallen asleep twice trying to read so i figure i can just make a bunch of coffee one bored day and do it all at once.

that's what im doing on a friday night.
spending my time in front of the computer and typing my brain out and my fingers off.

i did watch the funny games remake.
don't waste your time on it. i think the german version might be better though.

day of the dead, the remake, was also awful. even though i ♥ mena suvari.

need to cancel gamefly, netflix and cable within the month
have to start saving money to move.

registered for my classes at radford today
3 graduate level english courses
couldn't get into the osteology course b/c i lack a prereq but ive taken (and failed) it before so i think im gonna talk to the prof when the semester starts and try to get an override for it.
b/c i really want the class. alot.

but im taking: linguistics, intro to lit scholar, and adolescent lit.

it sounds painful.

and i like having one non-english class a semester to give my brain a reading break.

i forgot the eggs and i only have self-rising flour not all purpose flour.
crap

this is stupid and now i dont even want to finish them. stupid first batch didnt rise and fell apart when i tried to take them out of the tin. this was a waste of batter and of time. i still have a little bit of cake batter left i cant do anything with.
this sucks.

finished watching the entire series of Jericho.
now i've started on heroes

finished my midsummer night's dream paper
working on my hel paper - the influence of the printing press on english
and i need to start my american lit paper - the struggle of women in the turn of the century, looking at emily dickinson and charlotte perkins gilman

grocery shopping today. need more soda

stupid bank overdrafted me again even though i had the money in the account. have to call tomorrow and complain. i need to close that account. they are awful.

i just checked an account balance for an account i haven't used in over 2 years. i had to remember my pin number. pretty darn good, since i actually managed to remember 6 random digits.

and the smell of cigarette smoke is wafting into my apartment and its nauseating.
i don't smoke and im home alone
i hate the neighbors sometimes.
they need to stop trashing up our front stoop area and shouting at each other really loudly on the front stoop and generally just being icky.

but i have 2.33 in my account still.
hoorah.

watching jericho all day on netflix and homeworking
started researching for my hel paper.
the influence of noah webster on american english.
sounds interesting. and it just might be.

2 updates in one day, man i must be bored.

Hel test today. it wasnt so bad. i think i did okay at least

need to do homework,
signed up for a free month of gamefly
so now i should have 3 more games to distract me from my homework this month

making breakfast and watching ncis
added a lot of stuff to my instant netflix so i can finally watch heroes
