Let's talk about coffee, shall we?
(if you are more inclined to the softer notes of herbal tea, stick around; you might yet be converted.)
This lovely brewed bevy is perhaps one of my personal favorites, as it is useful for many situations and needs. Consider just how many places you could come across a percolating pot! Residential homes, police stations, hotel lobbies, AA meetings, you name it! One of the qualities I appreciate about coffee is its versatility and ability to bring even strangers together, in the similar way that smoking a ciggarette does.
I take my coffee black. Just thought you should know.
Coffee has been the basis of countless dates...and why not? Slowly sipping the steamy drink, gently blowing across the surface to cool it down, swirling the creamer into the shape of a heart, etc. Nice, isn't it? You have to admit, there's something cozy and welcoming in the thought of sharing a hot cup of coffee someone, talking about the day, or politics, or how in the world "Dr." Phil's talk show is still running.
Anyway, there's my little rant for the moment. I'm a little scatter-brained today, my apologies.
Make good choices! ;-)

Looking at you through the glass
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return."
Not to worry, I am not about to delve into the murky, painful depths of unrequited love here. I suppose I just have a few things I would like to get off my chest, if you will. There is only about 2 months left of my time here at Malone...a fact that I both celebrate and hold with an unsatisfied constitution. I've been thinking about leaving here a lot lately...when the semester ends, and I am thrust once more into an uncertain world as I desperately attempt to fit all the pieces together. Work is inevitable, and oddly enough looked forward to. I'll like having a place to go to where I can just do my duties and go home, not having to carefully plot out interpersonal relationships/communications, class schedules, and future plans all at once.
I was trying to become something/someone different when I came back from spring break, and unfortunately, the person I currently "am" is not nearly close to what was planned. So says a woman silently scorned. I got myself all worked up over an impossible dream...a dream that with each passing day faded more and more. Each time I took a drag or a vulgar word or comment slipped from my mouth, I mentally chided myself for failing to be "more amazing."
Tonight I am restless. At the moment, it truly seems as though I have nothing going for me, really. Being static or apathetic on this matter will lead to the same result; however, to be honest I don't know exactly where to go (or where I want to go) from here. Perhaps there is such a thing as a good suprise in my life, perhaps something big (good, not bad) will happen, and the course of this life's ship shall be altered, hopefully set in a completely different direction.
Such are the musings of an unquiet mind.

Chivalry: Ressurected
"Chivalry is dead," or so I'm told.
However, there are still the occasional gentlemen out there that will lend you an arm, open a door, light your ciggarette, or walk you to the door. There are those who will be considerate enough to call to see how you are, who bring you an orange if you missed dinner, give up their chair, or lend you their jacket. To these men, I salute you. These thoughtful and kind acts are not easily forgotten. Keep it up, you modern day knights. Treat a/your woman like a princess, a queen, a goddess. Your efforts will not go un-noticed.

Ladies and gentlemen, the glorious Modest Mouse.
This is the part of me that needs medication.
this is the part of me that believes in heaven.
this is the part of me that wishes I was with it.
this is the part of me that's trying to be funny.
this is the part of me loves my parents.
this is the part of me that learns from sickness.
this is the part of me that means nothing.
And I don't know....
I could go away and you could wish that I had stayed or just stayed gone.
And I don't know....
Out of the context and into what you meant.
You don't know who you are but you know who you want to be.
And I don't know.....
So you went to the library to get yourself a book and you looked and you looked but you didn't find anything to read.
The grass looks much greener, but it's green painted cement.
You can't make dirt clean but just lemon scented.
Out of breath and out of cash, find yourself watching MASH, every night on the couch, woman says let's take a drive on south. Roll down the windows and open your mouth, taste where we are and play the music loud. Stop the car, lay on the grass. The planet spins and we watch days pass.
I never knew nothing, so there's nothing to forget. Get real drunk and ride our bikes...
There's so much beauty it can make you cry.
I backed my car into a cop car the other day....well he just drove off; sometimes life's ok.
I ran my mouth a bit too much, now what did I say? Well you just laughed it off and it was all ok.
And we'll all float on...ok?
We both got fired on exactly the same day. Well we'll float on, good news is on the way.
And we'll all float on...ok?
Even if things end up a bit too heavy, we'll all float on....

Goodmorning, goodmorning! We've talked the whole night through...
Soooo...I just got done dancing in the snow to techno music. = )
It was magical. You should do it. Go do it.
I'm in a very random, excited-sort of mood at the moment, and I'm not exactly sure why. Perhaps it's because it's 5:15 in the morning and I haven't been to sleep yet...beats me. At any rate, here I am sitting in my room watching the snow zip speedily down to earth. Bathing suit weather!!
This morning I shall give my speech on Alexander the Great. After researching him and his life, I'm not AS enamoured by his accomplishments as I used to be, but he's an ambitious kid none the less.
Workin' out at the Wellness Center, doing laundry, and a hot shower soon to come, yay! (More yay emphasis on the hot show-ah, but whatev.)
I'm in need of some more H2 to the O, but that requires a trecherous journey through darkness and potentially smacking into doorways...haha. Sounds like fun.
Note to self: Keep plenty of water bottles handy as a preventative measure.
Riiiiip! Another page torn from my day-calendar. It is now verifyably thursday.
Make love not war. (or girl babies.)
;-)
*yours truly*

A dream is a wish your heart makes.
I want to live in a place where the air smells different.
There will be a coffee table somewhere in my home that resembles an oversized
cheese-wheel. I will host swanky dinner parties that become the perfect backdrop for insightful conversations about human rights, French wine, and Budhism. My two boys will play tic-tac-toe on a slate board with chalked lines. I will have a dog named after a Greek god and a cat named after an Egyptian goddess. I will go to work in the morning equiped with an artsy thermos full of Italian coffee, a bottle of diet coke for later, and my palm pilot fully charged. I'll pull my convertable into it's designated spot and exchange pleasantries with the doorman. I'll strut in through glass doors, owning the smart red stillettos I'm wearing to go with my Armani three-piece suit. The work day goes smoothly, and the clients are more than happy with the results. The clock lazily clicks over to 5:00pm and I pick up my Versachi atache case and head home. Dinner is served by my boys, trying their hand at the culinary arts for the night. Bruschetta, artichoke dip with pita, and mediterranean salad --delicious!
The boys and their father horse around while I read on the couch with my feet propped up on the sleeping dog's back. We all soak in the hot tub for a bit, then it's off to bed. Lying on my Temperpedic bed under a fluffy, luxurious comforter with my husband's arm wrapped around me, feeling his warmth, I am content, and drift off to sleep...
