Killing Time One Bird At A Time
Beirutband.com is the closest thing I get to home on days when I have to stay at school from 7am-10pm. I'm a different person at school- not unhappier, not happier... just... a different kind of happy and unhappy. But when I listen to Beirut, it feels like I'm sitting curled up in my computer chair in my panties and a big t-shirt without a bra when really, my mind's just at peace. The rest of my body is as rigid and supported as it's supposed to be in public places. Then, when I'm at home and I listen to Beirut, it transports me, still, to an even more comfortable place than my own home. I don't know where this place is, it's somewhere deep within the recesses of my mind and just floods out my thoughts so all there is is his music, his beautiful, beautiful music and I finally exist.
I wonder if you can tell the kind of person you would get along with just by looking at them. There's a few people here that I want to have a conversation with. Do you think it's possible? I've never had the guts to confront someone who it'd look as though I'd get along with them.
I like to think I could get along with anyone, but of course that's not true. I don't allow everyone that opportunity.
Monique told me one time that there were just some people in your life that you're supposed to know. Whether it's because they have the same this as you or do the same that as you, there's the same coincidences involved in meeting each other- it's fate.
There's this guy I see around the fox fine arts center who it'd seem as though I'd get along with him. He's not a music major (thank goodness); there's hardly any of us around so we all know who's a music major and who isn't.
I first saw him last semester. I remember it was a monday night when we ditched Brucey-Babies rehearsal and Jacob, Sophie, Han- a pool shark from Sweeden and I were playing pool in Summit Hall in Miner Village. He was playing the piano; various well-known songs by well-known composers, you know the bit. He even played Mad World by Gary Jules. I was pretty impressed, and since then he was known in my mind as 'Piano Guy'. He was the typicalt anti-social guy, quiet, dark-clothing... almost scary looking.
Another day I was laying down on the lawn in front of Jacobs dorm waiting for him to get back so we could chill and I saw Piano Guy walk into Haeco Hall and- incidently- found out where he lived. Jacob moved into Haeco hall this semester to get a single dorm and found out Piano Guy lived on the same floor as him and he hangs out in the stairwell from time to time to have a smoke or two. He has funny slippers that I complimented him on as I passed him.
He has music appreciation with my sister, and he's taking piano lessons from Dr. Hagadorn. So I'm not a stalker or anything- it's just the music building and I see him around from time to time.
So I want to talk with him. What's his major? He has a facination with music, obviously... my sister said he's really smart in the class and he's taking it 'just for fun'.
I guess... I'm just lonely and looking for someone to fill monique's shoes for these next two years.
No takers?
Didn't think so.
