So I was sitting around remembering when, and thinking about all of you who will see this and those who won't, and I looked at my profile and saw a verse I cut from Elizabeth Bishop. So riddle me this, if you will, how would you finish this:

I was saying it to stop
the sensation of falling off
the round, turning world
into cold, blue-black space.
But I felt:


?

1. I love my Glastonbury baseball tee-shirts, especially at bedtime.

2. I start orientation for my teaching intership tommorow.

3. I miss my brother.

4. I don't miss jello, cause I made some today (yum).

5. Did you really like dodgeball? I liked the young kid/guy, and Hank Azria rocks, but I wasn't feeling it. As a sport, I'd also rather play kickball.

6. Goodnight.

it's definitely been a while, but it's summer and I've got some free time- the NYC job search has most definitely not been panning out as well as I could hope. such is life; there's a certain point where hope has to take over. Took jojo downtown for some retail therapy today--ended up treating myself as well (not good on the food budget). So that's life for now with me, update me on yours please!

Otherwise, just begin to thesisize- woohoo!

all the best

so, I was listening to this country song on the radio, all about some girl wanting to fall in love, and I started thinking. I was never sure I wanted to fall in love, not in that crazy all is fair, equated with war sense. I instead planned to aim for stability, and play it safe. In all that though, I bought into the idea much trumpeted (why?) of love like drugs, ridiculous, unnatural highs and horrible, hopeless lows, with withdrawals and overdoses, and all kinds of hidden dangers even in the best of times.

I've found love, however, and it's nothing like that. Love is like sunshine, stable, warm, and omnipresent, even though some days are sunnier than others. Love is something that can be taken for granted, but is best appreciated, particularly when the sunny days follow some of dreary rain. Love is cheering and nourishing, like a sunny pleasant day, it has no inherent hidden dangers- simply put, it is not a risk, but a joy.

I would definitely recommend holding out for the best.

life is exhausting.

"there is no shangra-la. Every relationship has problems; it's perfect if you still want to stay when it really sucks."

this one's for you babe! :-D

well, at my grandma's. Gimme a call to hang out: 586 286 1628.

I have a new favorite band. If you didn't already, you all should have wished you were me tonight. The little girl sitting next to me reminds me of what I would have been like as a kid at what would have been the highlight of my childhood. I had the most fun I've ever had by myself, and it was beyond a shadow of a doubt the best live musical experience of my life. It made me think of my 2 best friends, and wish madly they were there too. But even a little lonlieness didn't ruin the fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Andrew, they played sooo many songs we know, and they covered the Monkees (haha).
John, I'm sparkling now, you should see it.
Both of you should have been there.


anyway, early to bed, early to row.

john's gone to ocean city. sad. but guess who's going to They Might Be Giants tonight, with a really good seat??? Yeah, that's right- me. I know, I rock, or they rock, and I'm lucky. Too bad John's not around to go too- oh well. My lucky day. Now to finish the heavy lifting.

yup yup, the long awaited moment has arrived...after not so popular (but some very vocal demand), the great lil-dini will be returning to the Detroit Area. It's not a final showing, and it's anticipated to bring lukewarm reviews, but what the hell, we're doing it anyway!!!!!!!!!


yup. packing is nearly completed. I'll be training for IRA's until IRA's (1 week). Then hanging around for J-boy's graduation and then home. Glad to be going, seeing lots of folk I've missed, but quite sad to missing J-boy and the P money crew. This summer's going to be hard, without the big bed and the live body pillow to keep me warm, but we'll make it. And it'll make next year's commutes to NYC seem easier, by comparison. I also wish I had something constructive to do with my summer, but I guess I'll just read and get some job and try to make money. yeah, that sounds good to me.

see y'all soon.

it's so nice to have a weekend with nothing really pressing except social engagements (and crew practices, would have been better without the practices). Still, it's really nice to have to have fun for a whole 2 days. and to get dressed up, always fun to dress up.

I got my hair cut yesterday. Chin length. it's cute, if I must say so myself.

and Lawnparties, live music, good brunch (if I were drinking, lots of yummy drinks), and SUNSHINE - saw the toasters today- fun dancing music. fun dancing partner too. Then watched the acrobats, chilled solo with John by the fountain, and came back here to nap (getting up at 1 just isn't enough sleep when one goes to bed at 5 am, I think ;-)

but that's lawnparties (or my lawnparties, anyway). everybody else's lawnparties included lifehouse or presidents of the united states of america, or at least TI (with their zepplin cover band- I don't understand why people crowd into TI, even though I really like it, that being why I'm a member and all).

anyway, have a great night all!

Demure Flirt


What Kind of FLIRT are you?
brought to you by Quizilla

angela is my new livejournal queen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so, there's this kid that I keep being told is a nice guy. And he's never been mean to me. still...the longer I know him, the more I realize...

being harmless does NOT make you a nice guy.


he's a total d-bag.

sometimes jokes are funny.

sometimes 'jokes' are just plain mean.

and sometimes, jokes are incredibly thin shields for uncalled for antagonism and resentment.

I don't deserve that.


It's so hard to have to like the people that don't like me. And it's so obviously against my character. Screw Woody Allen's take on matters: I don't want to belong to any club that wouldn't have me as a member.

You're the smirk,a frown-smile hybrid that's a
little bit cocky and usually associated with
evil or arrogant,but attractive people.You
probably just don't give a damn,but it's
everyone else's fault if you don't because
you're too awesome to have any real faults.


What Kind of Smile are You?

You have a dominant kiss- you take charge and make
sure your partner can feel it! Done artfully,
it can be very satisfactory if he/she is into
you playing the dominant role MEORW!
