"Je sauve la peau de l'ours avant de l'avoir tué"
Today, it's 74F. Last Saturday, we got 8 inches of snow. I'm going to miss the crazy West Tennessee weather (except for the tornadoes) when I'm gone.
Brief State of the Ina (I did not consider when choosing this username that it did not abbreviate well):
I am going to college. I got my first acceptance last month, to McGill University. So, even if everything else falls through, I can still run off to Canada.
I feel burned out. Maybe it's just senioritis. But I've never really felt my lack of a grounding philosophy, my lack of belief, until now.
I'm angrier than usual, too. I've been that way for the past two weeks or so. I've never responded to seeing a guy I find attractive by getting angry before. Mostly, it gets taken out on people who haven't done anything. Not that anyone's done anything. . .
Even my best friend has a boyfriend. They were good friends before they started dating. It hurts, sometimes, to look at them. . .
Of course, most of my friends have it worse in some way or another.
I've had several semi-platonic dreams involving this one guy. . . He's definitely straight, but he keeps saying and doing things that could be easily misinterpreted (like, say, inviting me to cuddle on the couch). . . and I think he knows it. I just don't understand why.
On the bright side of things, there's French pop:
Anaïs-Peut-être une angine Dancing panda for the win?
Zazie-Rue de la paix Weird video, awesome lyrics. The quote above is from this song.
Zazie-Je suis un homme Numbers have never made me cry before.
Pauline-Allô le monde Upbeat and consciousness-raising.
And, for the nostalgia factor:
C'est le début, from Anastasia
