He's Gonna Spit His Blood All Over The Dope White Walls/ You're So Sweet

This is how I feel right now:

"Promises Like Pie-Crust"

Promise me no promises,
So will I not promise you:
Keep we both our liberties,
Never false and never true:
Let us hold the die uncast,
Free to come as free to go:
For I cannot know your past,
And of mine what can you know?

You, so warm, may once have been
Warmer towards another one:
I, so cold, may once have seen
Sunlight, once have felt the sun:
Who shall show us if it was
Thus indeed in time of old?
Fades the image from the glass,
And the fortune is not told.

If you promised, you might grieve
For lost liberty again:

If I promised, I believe
I should fret to break the chain.
Let us be the friends we were,
Nothing more but nothing less:
Many thrive on frugal fare
Who would perish of excess.

--EBB

This is how I feel right now.
I don't know what to do.
I don't know what to think.
Do we go back to what we were?
What were we to begin with?

"Your former lover is leavin, chekin out not comin back the downtown trains have taken [her] screamin all down the track, there is a terrible taste on [her] tongue from the chemicals. [She's] gonna spit [her] blood all over the dope white walls.....You're so sweet, I wanna cry." --JR

Now I Am That Funky Soldier, And I Shall Be Free

It's been a while, I know, I'm a horrible person.
Actually that's a lie, I'm awesome.
There's a lot to be said here:
First of all I realized I NEVER said what my favorite albums of 07 were, so...
1)Bloc Party- A Weekend in the City
2)Lily Allen- Alright, Still
3)Amy Winehouse- Back to Black
4)Kanye West- Graduation
5)M.I.A.- Kala
6)Timbaland- Shock Value
7)Tegan & Sara- The Con
8)Fall Out Boy- Infinity on High
9)Britney Spears- Blackout
10)Cobra Starship-Viva La Cobra!

Best Song of 07: "Flux" by Bloc Party

Best Soundtrack: "I'm Not There"

Say what you will about it, I will stand by it. Every last one of them.

Secondly, NIU...
I'm not going to say a lot about it, because I'm still in shock over it, but, two of my best friends go there. This whole thing hit waaaaaay too close to home. Northern isn't that far from where I'm from, and where I live now. It's scary to me.
A year ago, if you would have said "school shooting" to me, I would have thought three things: Columbine, high school, and personal.
And then Virgina Tech happened.
Then all of a sudden, I felt like it was following us.
It feels like every week, it's something new. And it's not high school anymore, it's college. It's not personal anymore, it's random. I just don't understand what's going on in this world.

If anything would have happened to Billy or Alex, I honestly don't know what I would do.

Oh, and my mother got engaged.
And she's been engaged for two weeks now, and has made no effort to tell me.
Welcome to my life.

Oo and I dyed my hair!
It's light brown/red/fab.

Love.

I Was 19.

So yesterday, instead of watching the SuperBowl and getting homework/studying done, Michelle and I made cupcakes.

These are just some of mine.

Some of Michelle's.

I definitely have more to say, but I also have a midterm tomorrow. So after that, I will post a real post.
