"and he gave her flowers in a lightning storm"

Jan 22, 2005 02:15

i don't know what's with me tonight that i can't sleep at all. maybe because i took such a long nap today. my winter class is just about over - handed in our paper today and now just a final monday morning. then spring classes start wednesday, unless we get buried alive in snow first. blizzard is on its way. supposed to start in 5 or 6 hours. jon's home for the weekend and it's a weird feeling to be along in our apartment, in my pitch black bedroom, listening to my chill mix and waiting for a snow storm.

i think i'm in a bizzaro mood tonight because i chatted with a few of the barnies - it's like i hate myself sometimes for losing touch with them. such good peeps, and i again may try to make a concerted effort to keep in touch with them.

i miss nathan. yesterday i had a really good cry because, as i shared with him, i found a song that perfectly described the thoughts that have been going through my head since he left for NYC. it's Nickel Creek, and it's at the bottom of this entry. please download, it's amazing. but i get to see the good ole nathaniel a week from tonight at home, where i will be for app. 24 hours, visiting him, my parents and my niece and then coming back. that excites me!

watched a bit of the inauguration yesterday - at the same time i was watching the ER episode where Dr. Green leaves the hospital to die at home with his family.... i don't know which was sadder. god are we really only 1/2 done with this assmunch president??? give me a break.

i think eventually i'm going to write a book... well not a book, but a manuscript or something about the sagas surrounding my friends and i through high school... so much good stuff. maybe i'll get nathan to write a play about it.

anywho - i actually am going to try to get some shut-eye - i am waking up early before work in the morning to go to the foodstore so i don't starve to death in the blizzard.

When You Come Back Down

you got to leave me now
you got to go alone
you got to chase a dream
one that's all your own
before it slips away
when you're flying high
take my heart along
I'll be the harmony
to every lonely song
that you learn to play

when you're soaring through the air
I'll be your solid ground
take every chance you dare
I'll still be there
when you come back down
when you come back down

I'll keep looking up
awaiting your return
my greatest fear will be
that you will crash and burn
and I won't feel your fire
I'll be the other hand
that always holds the line
connecting in between
your sweet heart and mine
I'm strung out on that wire

and I'll be on the other end
to hear you when you call
angel, you were born to fly
if you get too high
I'll catch you when you fall
I'll catch you when you fall

your memory's the sunshine every new day brings
I know the sky is calling
angel, let me help you with your wings

when you're soaring through the air
I'll be your solid ground
take every chance you dare
I'll still be there
when you come back down
take every chance you dare,
I'll still be there
when you come back down
