I documented my morning this morning. Enjoy.

I need your loving
Like the sunshine.

I raise my head.

I feel alone in Tokyo.

I got off work just past 11
Laid one finger to the breeze
You can almost taste the action
On nights like these

Trees were bending in the wind
And you were 40 miles away
And I was headed your direction
I'd been waiting all day, I'd been waiting all day

Moon over West Covina
Was huge and white
And I was like a patient on a table
Headed toward the light
Leaned toward the center divider
Feel the wind in my hair
Keep a light up in your window
I'm gonna be right there, I'm gonna be right there
With a gleam in my eye
and an almost airtight alibi

Down by the Chemistry building
I found a quiet place to park
And I made my way down the street toward your place
Stepping lightly in the dark
Climbed the steps up to your doorway
Like a man prepared to jump beneath a train
It's real warm outside tonight
Maybe tomorrow it rains, maybe tomorrow it rains

Inside your room we shut the window
And we turned on a fan
And we lay there together in the darkness
I can keep a secret if you can
Finishing one another's sentences
Like a pair of identical twins
Your boyfriend's out of town until Tuesday
And nobody saw me come in, nobody saw me come in

With a gleam in my eye and an almost airtight alibi

I jotted this down a month ago or so one night. Who recognizes it?

Such a sweet scent of sasafrass fills the soft summer air. It could be the last time we jump a fence or hide in bushes from oncoming cars for a long time.
We are ready to get out of the car and trek to our destination: a fenced in, video monitored water tower. Our heads bump as we both lean in for a drink of Coke resting in the cup holder. We chuckle blushingly, then I sip, then you sip.
My legs are wet with midnight dew and my breath is bated as we march through the thigh-high grass. I sustain a few scratches from hopping a barbed wire fence and tripping into some burrs. We walk next to each other and know in our minds that no two people will ever fit together so well.
It's damp and humid. The moon peeks from behind nighttime clouds that will never be seen by day. No fence or video camera could ever stop us from finishing the last adventure of the summer.
The water tower is mediocre in itself, but it is made wonderful by a few clicks of the shutter in your camera. We are blinded by the lights that cast our shadows onto the water tower. But it doesn't matter. We are blinded anyway by delusional summer happiness.
My heart threatens to leap from my chest and scream out the sadness that lurks in its dark corners. I struggle to hold back the tears that have been there since I knew we were parting. My feet long to run and run and run and run until they bring me to you. My arms need to hold you and my back needs to feel your hands.
I know how much I adore you.

Due to the lack of batteries to fuel my camera, I thought I'd go ahead and post a few little writings I've jotted down. So.. here you go. Enjoy.

I can hardly pay attention to a word anyone says.
I've never been so excited.
I can hardly close my eyes while I'm lying in my bed.
I've never been so incapable of sitting still in class.
I can hardly keep myself from dancing all around.
I've never been so eager,
Just walking down a path.
I can hardly keep a thought from floating out of my head.
I've never been so anxious when just jotting down some notes.

I've never smelled anything so biting, so pungent as the damp autumn air in a woody valley.
It seemed like I was waking the woods from a dark sleep. The trees almost groaned with grumpy distaste from being woken up. None but deer and bird and rodent, being the only ones capable of standing ticks and mosquitos, had tred upon the overgrown foliage since the end of winter. But yet again a human had made her mark on the dense forest's palate.
The woods almost seemed to toy with me as I perused its wonders. It tried to trick me into leaving so it could snooze a few more weeks. But lo, I held my stance and trekked on.
Suddenly, though, there were footsteps all around me, flutterng in the trees, red eyes in the bushes, and crackling sticks from behind. A cacophony of woodland noises beseeched my ears. Suddenly I became afraid. I trounced through cobwebs and burrs until I made it to the barbed wire fence that restrained the woods. I slid between the rusty wires and dodged the no doubt tetnus-ridden spokes of the dilapidated fence. I lifted my eyes. Beyond me stretched acres of clear, grassy fields-- a welcome sight for nervous eyes.
I padded my way slowly across the plush landscae to the top of the hill where a pear tree stood.
Suddenly I felt the magic of nature all around me. I felt as if I spoke any human word, I would shatter the delicate life around me. A life infinitely more important and long-lasting than my own.
Then I felt bad for waking such a gentle creature, such a breathing beast. So, I headed back down the hill to leave such a wonderful place to be.
And then, as I walked alongside the woods, I heard more footsteps. But they were coming from the trees above. Looking up, I saw the plethora of leafy greens gazing back down upon me with ultimate authority. They were shedding themselves of their summer raindrops, their footsteps tredding on my forehead.
Such a beautiful sight to behold is the sparkling droplets of life falling down to greet your cool cheek.
It was as if the woods had felt my presence and had responded. It shed life upon me so that I may go forward into the harsh winter with a little gold in my pocket.

Je suis malade
Pour l'amour.

Kissing is best on a rainy afternoon.

Just discovered rock 'n' roll.

Swapped roommates?

FINALLY! I remembered my password and username and have also found time to make a post. Here! Take them!







Ahhh.. that felt good.
