it's the simple pleasures of a day gone crazy that make me laugh, shake my head, and wonder how this absentminded, ungraceful girl hasn't forgotten where she put herself, never to be found...

yesterday i laughed for ten minutes about tanning lotion spilling all over inside of my big, new Vicky purse and soaking my insurance slip that i was ( Read more... )

"Strange World" by Sarah McLachlan

We walk without a sound across a barren landscape
Your eyes are twisted down to a dew entrailed ground
We watch the stars as they slowly fade away and in the clearing sky I see
The cold stone face of morning setting in on me
It's a strange world
It's a very strange world that leaves me
Holding on to nothing when there's ( Read more... )

I don’t know where to go from here.  I’m sick of hurting.  I just want the pain to stop.  Want to breath without ache. Think without hurt. Eat without upset. Drink and never thirst.  This life is ridiculous.

I should have been…

Maybe if…

This isn’t…

I can’t…

Enough.

Well… it’s come down to this…. 1.5 weeks, 3 classes, 3 exams, and a partridge in a pear tree…. Yep, I’m almost done with my last few classes.  Student teaching is just over the horizon but I’ve got the graduating blues because college is definitely my home.  I’ll miss it like crazy.  Not the endless homework and stress but the whole environment of ( Read more... )

Well, I'm sick, sore, and tired.   I've had a fever since Thursday afternoon. My body is so worn out, and I feel like I'm never going to be rid of this fever.  I go from freezing to sweating in a matter of seconds and my whole body aches.  I'm scared and worried.  The docs don't know what's up with me yet.  They say it's viral which is even scarier ( Read more... )

So, I usually don't do these color tests... kinda funky because some of it seems true...

So lately my world has been turned upside down thrown over the edge of reason and plopped down to have a nice talk with a wise little holy man on a mountain top, we haven't spoken yet but yesterday he winked....

seriously though, if you haven't heard from me it's becaue i'm a busy ( Read more... )

Ireland was beautiful.  I know I say this about almost everywhere I go, but it´s not just my rose colored glasses.  It´s a lot like you see in the pictures: rolling hills, meadows, rock hedges, wild flowers, ruins…but it´s also the atmosphere, the knowledge of ancient customs, of a people long gone, spirits that still roam the hills, and the breeze ( Read more... )

vertigo.

she waits for solace,

close your eyes so you can't find her.

vertigo.

close your eyes and spin real fast.

take it past

your fears and doubts

consume you, vertigo.

you're darkness

endless.

vertigo knows hell,

cousins alike.

seeping past your nightmares

is a place you often go.

many never get there,

paths don't lead

Dublin is fab, but I'm ready to come home.    Lots has happened in the last two months and I'm wore out.  I'll be home in one week.  Thank God.

I don't get to kiss the Blarney stone while I'm here but I did see my first castle today.  It was pretty cool.  Tommorow and Thursday I'm heading outside of town to see some cool anciet ruins.  Fun fun.
