tired happiness
that's all.
now i'm going back to sleep after writing once again another crappy paper...feels good to be taking a day off from school on a monday..i know i shouldn't but i've already made up my mind..i'll just pay for it later.
here's a special poem (i love it):
Her Lips Are Copper Wire
whisper of yellow globes
gleaming on lamp-posts that sway
like bootleg licker drinkers in the fog
and let your breath be moist against me
like bright beads on yellow globes
telephone the power-house
that the main wires are insulate
(her words play softly up and down
dewy corridors of billboards)
then with your tongue remove the tape
and press your lips to mine
till they are incandescent
Written by Jean Toomer (1894-1967)

from the mindgrapes of sydney
i ate today. i was trying to figure out if i should get a 6 in sub with peach rings or a footlong by itself. it was a hard decision b.c it would've been about the same price either way. so i ended up getting the footlong thinking i could eat 1/2 tonight and the other 1/2 tomorrow...def ate the whole thing...then felt sick lol. but totally worth it.
below is my favorite thing in the world (ok one of many). it's a gold heart & key necklace that used to belong to my mumsie, she gave it to me about a year 1/2 ago. over the summer the original chain broke and i had to stop wearing it, because gold is suuuuper expensive!! damn! but then my birthday came and jackpot! new chain! so happy (when i made one of my fb statuses say that i was happy to be wearing it again, ex-lovah "liked" it...unfortunately i didn't see it until about a week later, but it still made me happy) i decided that when i find the person i want to spend the rest of my life with, i'll give him the key....super cheesy i know..but the necklace means a lot to me and my heart is not something to be played with...
Luscious colors, designed to be stacked or worn alone. Ring with a blue chalcedony in 18k gold. Size small. Original designs copyrighted by Paloma Picasso.Carat total weight 1.70. $1,100
anyways, so i mentioned in an earlier post that a friend of mine was starting a zine and i was thinking about submitting poem/venting exercise type thing...well i did...i also sent it to ex-lovah then took it back...but he had already read it and he replied with this (exact words btw) "i love it! it's actually pretty good."...i was sooo excited to read that! i never ever ever send him ANYTHING about how i feel about him/us/our relationship. well i did when we were together, but i'm always scared of getting my feelings hurt so i keep my mouth shut. but this is more of a reflection on our relationship with a little bit of how i presently feel sprinkled in..that being said, i decided to post it here since my toughest critic liked it..so here it is:
WHEN A GIRL LOVES A BOY
When a girl loves a boy she’ll eat cantaloupe and melon for the first time in her life, because he bought some for her
When a girl loves a boy she stays up with him while he pulls an all nighter to finish a paper
When a girl loves a boy she plays video games with him even though she’s bad at them and doesn’t want to, because he likes playing with her
When a girl loves a boy she lets him cry on her shoulder when he’s upset
When a girl loves a boy she lets him tickle her even though he tickles with claws
When a girl loves a boy she can still feel him wrapped around her while she sleeps
When a girl loves a boy she still occasionally listens to the songs he wrote her
When a girl loves a boy she lets him use her computer to play computer games even though she wants to cuddle
When a girl loves a boy she watches news shows and boxing matches just to spend time with him
When a girl loves a boy she can never forget how his kisses used to make her knees buckle
When a girl loves a boy she will talk to him on the phone until the wee hours of the morning even though she has an early morning class
When a girl loves a boy she listens to “their song” even though they’re not together anymore
When a girl loves a boy she thinks about him more often than she should
When a girl loves a boy she can’t tell her heart no...
