One more thing before I sleep:
I'm thinking that I'll get rid of the majority of my escape novels and start collecting some real literature, not happy fluff as what the me of former years lapped up. I suppose fluff is still nice from time to time, though. Books that leave you looking at the world in a new light and make you think really do leave a more lasting impression.
Suggestions much appreciated? |

Happy birthday, Kate!
And happy pot day for everyone else. I'm so glad I'm not working today. I swear there's only four or five of us that don't smoke pot, so they're probably going to be really short on people. Instead I shall stay home and study for math final tomorrow. Oh yay. |

A list inspired by Madde (who is the queen of lists) and also inspired by Kate aka 'bohemianrose' (who reccomended that I watch the movie Stranger Than Fiction).
If I have only one day left to live I would...
1. roll out of bed just in time to see the sun rise.
2. tell everyone important to me how they made life worthwhile.
3. let go of all of my negative thoughts.
4. not go on the internet once.
5. make eye contact to every single person I talked with.
6. not waste of minute of that day applying make-up or thinking about what to wear, but throw on any odd outfit.
7. say whatever is on my mind without a second thought.
8. quit my job.
9. dance and sing in public like I always have when no one is watching.
10. go skinny dipping in the ocean.
11. admit all of the things I've ever wanted to confess to people, but haven't be able to for lack of courage.
12. get my tongue pierced. No worries about it fucking up my teeth if I'll be dead the next day?
13. hug random strangers.
14. phone Fred and find out why he always seems so happy to see me. Maybe even go for a walk with him and discuss life.
15. completely let go of all of my inhibitations.
16. try to remember every single happy memory.
This will end on 16 because 16 is a good, even number. I could go on and on, though. Will probably have many better ideas pop into my head once I hit 'post', but that's all right.
What would you do if you had only one day? |

Somehow being stuck at home sick is more boring that being stuck at home healthy. Perhaps I'll clean my room. Ooooor...
You guys could make movie reccomendations? Blinks puppy eyes. No horror 'kay thanks.
Has there ever been a movie that changed the way you look at the world? Even if it was just for an hour or a day. If so, toss it my way.

Step 1: Put your media player on random.
Step 2: Pick your favorite lines from the first 20 songs that play.
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song the lines come from.
Step 4: Cross out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
1. Shoutin' in the street gonna take on the world some day.
2. I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some.
3. Wishing she was somewhere else instead.
4. Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see. The Beatles "Strawberry Fields Forever"
5. I remember the look her mother gave us.
6. Mars ain’t the kind of place to raise your kids. Elton John "Rocket Man"
7. 'Cause I try and try to forget you girl. The Wonders "Doing That Thing You Do"
8. With a second chance I’d mess it up again.
9. Some day I'll find my heart and come back to stay.
10. See me on the dark side of your mind.
11. I fall down just to give you a thrill. Garbage "I Think I'm Paranoid"
12. Will you always see the truth when it stares you in the face?
13. I'll be reaching for the stars with you.
14. I knew I wanted to be in that place next to you.
15. Mesmerize the simple minded. System of a Down "Hypnotize"
16. She's got eyes comparable to sunrise. Gym Class Heros "Cupid's Chokehold"
17. You're only as loud as the noises you make.
18. Get outta my head 'cause I don't need this.
19. Too eager to object when you were wrong.
20. So much to do to set my heart right.
It annoys me how songs I've been aviding listening to because they remind me of her her chose to come up. Damn winamp, why do you hate me so?
Quite a few of these won't be guessed I think. Oh well. |

Sorry to update for the third time in one day. I just couldn't resist sharing some of these quotes. I came across a very inspirational blog stashed away in my links. So, instead of going to bed, I have stayed up and read through so very many quotes and bits of knowledge and outlooks on life. Visit http://http.www.jackzen.com/ to see more. This man has opened my mind, even if it's for but a second. I want to somehow reach this level of awareness and peace of mind. Harmony.
( I feel so much more at peace than before. ) |
