apple wins me over AGAIN.
Click to viewWHY is it that as soon as Apple puts out a new commercial I'm immediately all "HOLY CRAP AWESOME POSSUM!" Ya'll, let me be frank: I kind of hate Coldplay because the entire world insisted that I should love them. Yes, I know that's petty and stupid, but come on, sometimes their music kinda sounds the same, ya know? Anyway, this song. Oh, this SONG. It's like SONIC BLISS. I feel like it was what I've been missing in my life. The lyrics are like a secret biography I never knew existed.
Speaking of songs, my official 07/08 playlist is coming to a close. I always fold it up around June because a new life begins in summer, at least for me it always does. Screw January and the same old, cold old winter. I have put my official end date to be the last day of finals, June 10th. Where it stands now I have 35 songs. I can't wait to share links, videos, MP3s and lyrics with you all. It's not nearly as indie as it was last year. I wish I knew that says about me.
Reading Kissing the Witch by Emma Donoghue for my GLBT Lit course. Amazing. Lush, beautiful and perfect for the 80 degree weather we're having here in Ohio. I feel like I'm somewhere much more magical and much more real when I read this book. I highly recommend it, especially those who are interested in updated fairy tales. It takes me out of my world and into another, something I've missed in books lately. They've been too real, too proximate. I could read my own words in their stories and it scared me.
Speaking of GLBT Lit, got a lovely, long, complimentary email from my professor this evening, telling me that I received an A- on my paper. The paper I was VERY worried about. I wrote about unrequited love and how it's the only way I've experienced a love relationship. It was insanely difficult to write, considering my proximity to my subject. Oh, it hurt so badly. Worth it, though, to get such a great email from a prof I really respect and want to impress. I've been praying for quite some time now that I would find confidence in my skills and talents as a thinker and writer. Finally, I think I'm out of the woods.
Huge reading next week for Quiz and Quill. I'll be reading TWICE from two different pieces. I wish more people could come. Oh, how I want to show off! I'm so close to starting a facebook event for it and inviting my whole friends list, just because I want people to be there to hear me read. I need to practice not getting nervous as all hell when I read. My face gets all flushed and I don't breathe enough and go too fast. I know I have a great voice that carries and is easy to listen to so yeah.
Long entry. If you've read this all, you are a much better person than I am.
For some reason I can't explain...I know St. Peter won't call my name...Never an honest word...But that was when I ruled the world...
