"He says, 'Son can you play me a memory / I'm not really sure how it goes But it's sad and it's sweet / and I knew it complete / when I wore a younger man's clothes' // Sing us a song you're the piano man / Sing us a song tonight / Well we're all in the mood for a melody / and you've got us feeling alright "
—Billy Joel, Piano Man
"There is a road, no simple highway / between the dawn and the dark of night / and if you go no one may follow / that path is for your steps alone // Ripple in still water / when there is no pebble tossed / nor wind to blow // But if you fall you fall alone / if you should stand then who’s to guide you? / If I knew the way I would take you home"
—Grateful Dead, Ripple

Settle Down, Don't You Settle Down
time 9:12 Am feeling decent wearing cccp jacket from diana, soviet braids to go w/ it, yay! music rp reading book about zurich, heh heh ready for some tea next flash time
Michael is using black on white again. The last time he did this was 2003. That was a great year for us both IIRC.
Tice got fired.
Pretty sweet start to the year if you ask me.
.....
That all said. Two things. One. It is pretty freaking weird for it to be 2006. HMMMM. Two. Facebook is the devil incarnate and a double edged sword at that. And THAT all said...add Christy to the list. This is a good thing, I have wondered why she stopped contacting me.
I'm not trying to be weird or rude or anything, but just FYI, I am not a scary person. Granted, I realize many people may have a problem or ten with me/my personality, which is cool. To each their own. But I'm not going to hurt you, and I'm not mad at anyone. And if I do hurt you, I never mean to, and if I am mad, you probably deserved it, from my perspective/experience. (Wow, that sounded bitchy, sorry.)
I have been told I have very high standards, not just for fruit but also for friends, which might be why I pick up on average only one person at each 'stop' in my life, if that makes sense. One is plenty to escape under the radar, is how I feel at this moment. But the point is, as for meanness or whatever, I'm just not really like that, despite a spiny exterior.
So. 2006. Here's the deal. It's an even number. No good can come of this. BUT. It is also a number that is the multiple of three, and also a year wherein we'll have 06/06/06 (Rob is already afraid, hahaha I love it). I will turn 25, which is okay, not great, but better than, say, 88 or something. (In case you were clueless, I don't like the number 8, or most even numbers for that matter.) Something will happen on May 12th, but that something is probably that my cousin Katie graduates law school (which is all good and well, so yeah). Nats will be in St. Paul in August and (hopefully) many people will come. Another of my friends will get married, and that friend is Katers methinks. I will move in April (THANK GOD, I hate my neighbors upstairs with a PASSION). Jenny will move to Chicago. We will take our Switzerland trip.
Speaking of which, I need to make some, ah, reservations. We leave a WEEK FROM FRIDAY, OMG. Whoa. Time flies...I gotta do something about that while J's partying down in PR, hah. Being as spoiled as I was once in my life, generally through circumstances beyond my control in one way or another, in the two times I have been across the ocean I have never flown coach. I know, that is sad. So this will be muy interesante indeed, really I'll just be completely zonked the whole time so who cares, right? Ha.
.....
Someone asked about leaving comments here. I am not sure how I feel about that, honestly. First off, not sure how desperate I am to use blogger or something similar, even though 'all the cool kidZ are doing it.' Secondly, my priority should be php includes, NOT comments. Thirdly, comments can often = disaster, either by ones left or ones NOT left. Plus, I think most people just want to be anonymous, yo.
So yeah. We'll see about that.
.....
That's about it. Where are we going?—Lexi
