one man show?

I am listening to the "A Little Bit Longer" CD from the Jonas Brothers. Erin, Laura, and I have 10th row seats to see them at Nissan tomorrow. I need to decide what to wear. I have no clue other than the red skinnies. And possibly a skirt over them.

So Ryan mentioned "Birches" by Robert Frost yesterday and I have been carrying it around rereading it. And I really like it. It's wonderfully ambiguous. But I think the gist of what I keep getting variations of when I read it is this: You can't sacrifice all of the good times for the bad ones. You can't let a phase ruin all of the happy times. You can be happy in your life, but it usually comes with pain and sadness as well. Then again, it all depends on how you choose to look at it. Somebody else probably has it worse.


I like in "BB Good" on this CD when Joe goes, "I wanna kiss you!" It's so silly sounding.

I started writing differently. If you noticed the "Faceless Days Seemed So Simple In The Moonlight" poem, it's really different. The ones from High LI aren't as different. But it's a new approach to writing that I have. With the "Faceless Days" poem especially, it's one that I want to be figured out. It's one that I can't explain any better than it is written. And I was listening to a cd when I was writing it and everything just seemed so applicable so I wrote down my connections of the lyrics that stood out to my life and the situation and then I went back through the next day and sort of encrypted everything. (Obviously, though, I didn't bother 'coding' the first one on the "oil" set.)

You know how I am. I'm not the kind of person who can just say things. Drawbacks (perhaps) of being an introvert to this extent.

So I hope you can figure out these new posts. Well, those new posts. On the newly renamed "Happy End" blog.

I love you.
