(no subject)
hey hey...well it's been a while. things are going great at the thrift shop....thanks to those who have visited me there already! and for those of u who haven't, get on it!! i met a really cool chick from wpg the other day who was shopping around small town thrift shoppes for fabric and stuff cuz she designes clothes and has her own clothing company...it's pretty awesome, you should check it out! www.silverspoonclothing.blogspot.com.
...i can't believe the summer is almost over....one month left. *sigh* house shopping has been started, but not particularly successful. last weekend was busy w/ a farewell for dear tom who will be residing in japan for a month! as well, i took in a fringe play by my best bud teri stevens, entitled "angelheaded hipsters"...it was awesome....i'm so proud of her! unfortunately i'm lazy at this lj thing and the shows are over. let it be known u missed out tho! as well, i heard meghan pierce (fellow soddie of 2001-02) on the radio today! weird! kudos to mis amigos for makin their dreams happen! if only i knew what mine were still......why am i so confused.....
well, i suppose i should sleep...tomorrow entails hitting up the gimil icelandic fest w/ my artist friend/roomie jewels to go see/pick up her art that she entered in their art show thingy. (yes, she's 1/4 icelandic). haha. i have weird friends. but i like it!!
oh, before i leave, i was reading through my old poetry portfoli from a few years back when i was in a cmu poetry class. here's one of my favs (even if it's a tad cheesy/lovestruck or whatever, i think it captures the whole "crush" thing everyone has felt at least once or more in their lifetime!...and the whole phenomenon of "unrequited love." [or like...or infatuation....cuz maybe love is too strong a word to use.])

Now I lay me down...
Yellow and
brown pants patches
cover your naivety;
your calamity
(it doesn’t suit to wear your innocence on your sleeve)
driving dirt roads
in your dumpy car,
music cranked so loud
we can hardly talk
Sloppy
jerk-faced grin
pleads and I succumb
to your
innocent seduction
comfortable chatter spills
from our lips - clinks as if against fine china -
I look at you...
can’t help but smile
but I know what you’re thinking...
(you’re thinking ‘bout her)
(do u know what I’m thinking?)

You left me here
In dreams’ wake, feeling like a child...
And now I lay me down to sleep
Where dreams will take me til I wake
~
You left.
You took the keys...
But you forgot...
To take
...your music, your words, your friendship...
~
You left me here
In dreams’ wake, feeling like a child...
And now I lay me down to sleep
Where dreams will take me til I wake
~
Sensual smoke slowly rises
Lacing me in... I feel your
frustration
Silence of the unspoken divides
But I am covered in your
Haze
Smoke your stupid cigarettes
But don’t lace me in
(to your confused melancholy state of mind)
I am tired
Of (loving) you
~
You left me here
In dreams’ wake, feeling like a child...
And now I lay me down to sleep
Where dreams shall take me til I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
