research methods in the den ...*ugh* i hate it
i'm in the den
taking a break from my lab proposal
listening to "in the waiting line" by zero 7
loud enough that i can't hear any other noise
so odd
yet everyone seems to move along to the song.
people doing homework
young ones on a tour type deal
friendly conversation.
amidst the stress and self doubt,
a moment of harmony.
do you believe in what you see?
.....as brig would say, i'm a dirty hippie. ....
anyway, i felt like being creative after working on something so scientific and dry. i need my creative side to stay alive and keep me sane. though that wasn't really a poem, it's what came to mind while sitting here in the coffee shop that has consumed the latter part of my semester. granted, my reasons for being here, especially now are my fault, but i can't help but imagine the ride home in my car with my music playing loud, windows down, and a sublime moment when i drive through beautiful santa barbara, what looks like the middle of nowhere (around camp roberts for those in the know), and the lovely patch of foresty eucalyptus trees that smells so good that i stick my head out the window so that the sent engulfs my nose...*sigh* (it's about 45 minutes south of my house, i have no idea where exactly it is). plus my dad with be caravaning with me so we'll stop in pismo beach and have some daddy-daughter time for lunch. then i get to be home!! i know exactly what i'm gonna do when i get back. first, park and stretch. next hug my puppy as long as he lets me. then get my stuff inside and up to my room, then veg for what's left of the day. most likely sleeping early and getting up late.......and more hugging, petting, kissing cody. :) i feel kinda bad that i want to spend time with my dog before my mom or brother but i need his nonjudgmental wagging tail and licky kisses that says "where have you been?? i missed you!" he brings me that feeling that i am truly home and safe. i can't wait for the night where i'm sitting on the couch watching tv as my laundry finishes and i'm tired and want to go to bed while cody sits in front of the couch, acting as if he's saying "i'm sooo happy you're home." just lying there in front of me. every time i move, he wakes up and stares directly at me as if to say "oh hell no, where are you going?" those moments where he shows unconditional love by just being a lazy dog are some of my most cherished moments. ......ok maybe i should stop cause i'm starting to cry....and i'm still in the den.
working.
now listening to "all i really want" by alanis morissette
....coincidence? ...i think not!
......................*whispering to self* what?? stop talking. okay.
this is what research methods did to me. please people, don't do it! just say no!
P.S. i want to go bowling. i have no idea why but it smells like a bowling alley in the den. ....i really want to go bowling. i should call up jessica and her younger brother jared a.k.a. monkey to go bowling. we did it a lot last summer, we need to do it again. :) maybe i can actually come close to beating monkey this time but i doubt it since he's in a league and actually good. .... i'll take that challenge.
