subliminal brainwashing through all four years in catholic high ftw.

por eso:

i’ve only just realised that it wasn’t because i wasn’t good enough, because now i know i am more than just good enough, and i will only grow to be better than i was; and i hope one day you’ll be able to look at me and feel proud of what i will have become.

how life is a waving feather,

jloh: We are currently reviewing applications for the Class of 2012 and plan to notify students of our decisions on March 31, 2008. You will receive more information later this month explaining how to check your decision online.
jloh: apocalypse has a date now

and here’s what’s kept me alive all the time i had to drown in my own pee since i didn’t even have the time to piss with all the work:

sng: to me, it’s just a lot of work that needs to be done
sng: so just do it
sng: no point getting stressed out

yes, O Powers That Be. if you can’t make me wise, give me wise friends.

confusing stars for satellites

block leave on thursday and friday was spent very fruitfully albeit with rather frivolous expenditure that would have set me back by two months’ wages had soldiering been my only source of income; an unfortunate scenario that is thankfully not the case.

i decided to continue plugging miss clarity café and brought sng and jloh there for dinner last night. mere minutes prior to sng’s arrival jloh decided he wanted a ben&jerry’s strawberry cheesecake ice cream shake. it was an act which i protested uselessly against; jloh stood unflinchingly by his law by shrugging off concerns of dinner with a nonchalant “so?”; a word he proceeded to… eat in place of his dessert at clarity because his gut was crammed too full.

they both had ‘old macdonald had a farm’ which is basically mixed grill, because it looked like the only item whose serving size could even hope to satiate their appetites. i had a superspecialawesome serving of paella with pork cuts and it was amazing ! i haven’t actually tasted anything like it and i really cannot remember the last time i tasted something and thought “wow/ohmygod/eateateateat”. okay actually i can, my mom’s cheesecake did that to me but anyway i’m going back again to eat the paella like, twenty more times before i actually order anything else. sigh no pictures though! next time, next time.

on a completely unrelated topic,

almost lover
a fine frenzy

your fingertips across my skin
the palm trees swaying in the wind
images
you sang me Spanish lullabies
the sweetest sadness in your eyes;
clever trick

well I never want to see you unhappy;
I thought you’d want the same for me

goodbye, my almost lover
goodbye, my hopeless dream
I’m trying not to think about you
can’t you just let me be?
so long, my luckless romance
my back is turned on you
should’ve known you’d bring me heartache;
almost lovers always do

we walked along a crowded street
you took my hand and danced with me
images
and when you left, you kissed my lips
you told me you would never, never forget
these images

well I never want to see you unhappy;
I thought you’d want the same for me

goodbye, my almost lover
goodbye, my hopeless dream
I’m trying not to think about you
can’t you just let me be?
so long, my luckless romance
my back is turned on you
should’ve known you’d bring me heartache
almost lovers always do

I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
without you on my mind
so you’re gone and I’m haunted
and I bet you are just fine

did I make it that easy
to walk right in and out of my life?

goodbye, my almost lover
goodbye, my hopeless dream
I’m trying not to think about you
can’t you just let me be?
so long, my luckless romance
my back is turned on you
should’ve known you’d bring me heartache
almost lovers always do
