You and I Both - Jason Mraz

Was it you who spoke the words that things would happen but not to me
Oh things are gonna happen naturally
Oh taking your advice AND I'm looking on the bright side
And balancing out the whole thing

Oh but at often times those words get tangled up in lines
And the bright light turns to night
Oh until the dawn it brings
Another day to sing about the magic that was you and me

Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
Others only DREAM of the love
Oh the love that I love

See I'm all about them words
Over numbers, unencumbered numbered words
Hundreds of pages, pages, pages forwards
More words than I had ever heard and I feel so alive

Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of and if you could see ME now
Oh love, love, you and I, you and I
Not so little, you and I anymore
Mmm hmm
And with this silence brings a moral story
More importantly evolving
Is the glory of a boy

Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
And if you could see me now
Well then I'm almost finally out of
I'm finally out of
Finally de de de de de de de
Well I'm almost finally finally
Well I am free, oh i'm free

And it's okay if you had to go away
Oh, just remember the telephone
well, their workin it both ways
But if I never, ever hear them ring
If nothing else I'll think the bells inside
Finally found you someone else and that's okay
Cause I'll remember everything you sang

Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of and if you could see me now
Well then I'm almost finally out of
I'm finally out of
Finally de de de de de de de de
Well i'm almost finally
finally out of words

Did a lot of productive things today...

~Got a new student ID
~Opened a savings account
~Deposited a few checks
~Checked out one of the rooms I'll be working Tuesday
~Bought my books (ARG!!! A complaint all to itself)
~Saw an advisor finally!

A lot of fun things happened today as well!

~Saw Sarah!!! :D!!!
~Saw Jacob at his new job at the Copy Center! :D!!!
~Hung out with Rachel! :D!!!
~Worked out at the Rec Center ^_^
~Saw a dollar film with Rachel and ate at Taco Bueno for the first time
~Saw Shannon and her new kitty ^_^

Rachel and I saw The Sisterhood of the traveling Pants. It was.. interesting. I believe Lisa read the book while we were all in France, and I'm pretty sure she even said that it was odd. I can't complain though, it was only a $1.50 to see it :P ( I LOVE Dollar theatres! ) At times it was actually pretty decent, while other times it was really... hoaky (hence the quote at the top, "BELIEVE in the pants!!"). It was great seeing the movie and working out with Rachel though ^_^ Tomorrow we have plans that involve a bathing suit while sitting by the side of a pool and chillaxin. ^____^ I look forward to that.

~*~*~*~*~

I feel more confident in my job now. Well, I will after the first class I work on Tuesday. I hope everything goes okay.... I'm sure it will. Just the nerves starting to settle in now. I very rarely get nervous- well... wait. I get nervous about stuff, but this should be okay, right? Like, this should be a piece of cake? It's only people's education at stake here... and I'm only dealing with technology I've never really used before. Pieeeece o'cake! *thumbs up* Geeze, I'm wiggin out when I dont need to be. I'll be fine after the first class.

~*~*~*~

I feel really good about everything. Really positive. Really optimistic. But it's like, at the same time I'm feeling kind of worn out. I think that might be because of all the crap I had to do today. Or maybe it's because my stomach kind of hurts *puts on a hoodie and lays down* You have to love laptops. Mac leaves soon. This Sunday actually. I'm so happy for him ^_^ And a little jealous of Luke because he gets to hang out with him tonight and tomorrow :P

Briana is also gone. It's so odd not having her around with me. It sounds like she's having a blast in Japan though. I know the feeling. It's so exciting being in a foreign country not knowing the language. After you come back, you feel like you can talk about anything with anyone because, let's face it, after being in a country where you hardly know the language you are trying to speak coming back to your respective country where you know the language makes it way easier to talk to people. In my case, it also molded me into someone who gets excited when I have the opportunity to meet someone new. It also makes going up and asking a question to someone much easier.

Rachel and I were talking about France and how we all had our quirks, and how it all meshed together. We talked about how we think Andy was protective of us girls and how we liked that ^_^ We talked about Lisa's novel / memoirs that I hope to read one day that depict us all as Lisa saw us while we were in France...

I miss two euro icecream... For some reason I was just reminded of buying icecream in Antibes...

I remember moments of being in Caen walking around the centre ville by myself and stopping at the ice cream stand by the FNAC... I loved the idea of walking around town on a warm day by myself, with my ice cream cone, window shopping... or sitting by the fountains or perhaps on the hill by the Château.

God I miss France. I miss the moments I felt when I was alone and the moments when I was with people.
Like riding the tram in the back while eatting a pastery with Lisa, Shannon and Rachel
or sitting on the wall of the chateau with Justin eatting a tarte aux fraises, only to realize that it was going on 8 PM and niether of us had had dinner- so opted to go to the restaurant he told me about where one could get a huge platter that would fill 2 people for 7 euros.
Or riding the tram by myself to Herroville to Café des Images to watch Million Dollar Baby (only to call Mac and Lucas afterwords because I felt like killing myself after movie *laughs* and needed someone from home to talk to).
Or walking home by myself those few nights at 3 AM, crossing the bridge only to stop and look over the edge and then up at the stars.

If only you guys could have looked up with me and saw the stars and realized that we were both looking at the same night sky, despite being so far away at the time.

No point in living in the past- but it's always comforting to think back on.

If all along the fault is up for grabs why can't you have it
If it's for sale what is your offer, I'll sell it for no less than what I bought it for
Pay no more than absolutely zero.

Well neither one of us deserves the blame because opportunities moved us away
And it's not an easy thing to learn to play a game that's made for two that's you and me
The rules remain a mystery. See it was so easy.

-- Absolutely Zero- Jason Mraz
