Buoyancy

Truly I tell you, there really is something to the whole unattainable thing. It's very attractive. I'm not saying it's good, but...I guess I like trouble.
Don't worry, I'm not talking about anyone who is currently in a relationship.
I just got some really freaking awesome new clothes - I am SO excited about them!!
I'm sure I'll wear all of them at one time in the same place and everyone will laugh because I'll be hyper excited...but I don't care, because they are quite stylish. I think I've decided my favorite looks are ultra feminine with an edge. Classic silhouettes with something 'wrong'.
Speaking of silhouettes, I've heard before that because I have an hourglass frame, I shouldn't wear pencil skirts...but you know what? They really work on me, so I do it anyway!
Screw rules, especially when it comes to fashion.
I think it's sexier when you give hints but not answers when it comes to clothing.

So, what do you want?

I have no idea. And I know that I can't treat people well with that in mind. That's why.
I could talk about this for days, but that would be pretty unfair to Brian, since he probably doesn't even know about this blog, unless he Facebook stalks like a fiend (and in that case, I wouldn't have dated him).
Anyway.
I feel like a terrible person, and I have felt like a terrible person for a week or so. I knew it, I always knew it, instantly, and yet I still moved forward. Just a heads up, if you don't think you're ready for something, don't do it. Chances are that you won't be ready for it and you'll eventually hurt someone very, very badly. It's perfectly tempting to just say yes, but that won't fix your problems or your reputation or whatever is plaguing you. It's like trying to hide a bump by slathering on makeup. It might appear flawless from a cursory glance, but when you get close enough to see, it's pasted and fake. So, don't do it.
What am I going to wear tomorrow?
Maybe I'll play my game. This game is called CLOTHES OMG.
Step 1: load a bunch of random clean clothes into a bin
Step 2: pour bin onto your bed (or something else large, flat, and comfortable)
Step 3: close your eyes and fall onto your clothes
Step 4: wear whatever your hands are touching

See? You pretty much always win. I like games, and I refer to most things as games, like when people are talking smack about other people. I say, "Oh, I know this game!"
Today was so dramatic, and I'm going to take a shower to slough it off.

Villainous pears

I have some pears, and I am very excited about them! I always put my fruit in a basket on my kitchen counter, because I love the way it looks, and really, why not?
My roommates like to move it around, but I still put it back =P I'm such a rebel!

Let's see....deep introspection....

I'm having trouble meeting and resolving the concept of "God" in my short story. In most dystopian stories, God is replaced by something, but there's so much sacred music that I don't think I could get away with ignoring it. When you create another world, you can't leave many loose ends.
Compulsion to comply against will to refuse. Think about how many relationships you have with people in general where that's true.

I'm building my poetry wall. Send me your favorite poems, because I'm always up for adventure!
I'm seriously considering traveling after undergrad...right now it's looking like the UK!!
I will let you know what happens, I'm sure, as cryptically as necessary.
Cripple Ripple.

Look at me

Some people make me breathless. That's all I'm going to say about the title.

I love poetry. I don't know how many of you know that, but I absolutely adore it. I think I'd like to try to write it, but I'm not sure I'd be good at it. I may be a decent writer, but that doesn't mean that I can write poetry. It takes a specific voice, and I doubt I have it.
Speaking of writing, I spoke to my creative writing professor about my next story (yeah dystopia!) and he told me that I should revise my first story and submit it to the children's literature professors, who could send it to professional editors and a publishing company! AHHHHHHH!!!!
I'm pretty excited about this, I'm not going to lie =D
I really do love to write. I don't love it as much as I love music, where I can be completely overwhelmed and broken by the musical tasks and soothe myself with the very same thing.
I'm going to see Coraline tonight - I very much hope that I don't get too scared because, well, that's just the kind of person I am.
I don't want to be mundane anymore today. There's too much.
Go read "somewhere i have never travelled" by ee cummings. Please.

Tray sledding

This weekend was absolutely crazy, and I feel exhausted, even though I really didn't do much, physically.
CCVMEA went very well - most of the chapters who actually care (cough VCU VT cough) were there, and Longwood was represented very well! I wish the sessions had been more interactive, but otherwise, it was very informative and we all had SWAG. Then, Patrick and I got lost for a good two hours in Northern VA. It was great, because then it started snowing around Harrisonburg. Yikes! But we had some good talks, and I'm glad we're better acquainted now.
I went tray sledding last night - it was probably the most fun I've had in a very long time, even if I'm pretty sore from falling probably ten times and my shoes are soaked with icy water. It hurts my sides when I sneeze!
As you probably know, I'm officially dating Brian. We went tray sledding together, watched Fantasia (the original, far superior to 2000) had a drawing contest, basically just hung out for over 24 hours, and I'm not ready to scream!
Hopeful, yes?
I'm kidding, I really am.
Additionally, and more importantly, he likes me for who I am, and unlike Maurice and just about every other guy I've dated, I wouldn't have to change anything about myself to be with him. That's what convinced me that this is a good thing to pursue, aside from feeling good and appreciated and fascinated. Toooooo many coordinating conjunctions!!
Now, to conducting, and dinner with some of the girls =D
Have a lovely snow day - take pictures while it lasts!
