Today was my last day of Tuesday classes for this semester! Last day of the torment of having 4 long classes, horribly dispersed pointedly throughout the day in a way so as to never really get anything accomplished between classes! However, in order to add to the joyousness of this occasion (which should be marked and celebrated forever!) Kristin (who has, if possible, the exact same excellent taste in music that I have :) !) had me download this song that I have absolutely fallen in love with, if that's possible, which I think is absolutely possible! The song is called "Out Of My League" by the amazingly talented Stephen Speaks. The lyrics are comparable to "The Luckiest" by Ben Folds which I think I've also mentioned! Well, the chorus is a melodic blend of piano and a solo male voice that rings out with words destined to make everygirl a little wistful!
"it's her hair and her eyes today that just simply take me away. And the feeling that I'm falling further in love makes me shiver but in a good way. All the times I have sat and stared as she thoughtfully thumbs through her hair. And she purses her lips, bats her eyes and she plays with me sitting there slack-jawed and nothing to say, cause I love her with all that I am! And my voice shakes along with my hands cause it's frightening to be swimming in this strange sea but I'd rather be here than on land! Yes she's all that I see and she's all that I need and I'm out of my league once again!"
Does anyone know where this semester went? It feels like a drifting dream. It was forever ago that Katie and I would sit and lay on our beach rafty things and just talk for hours. Or Manda and I would fight for the good raft! Gesh a whip, but then again, it seems like yesterday, like a tangible memory that I can see and smell and remember every detail! Maybe that will happen again...
Yet, at the same time, I don't feel like I am that person anymore. I heard this quote, and maybe its from Dawsons Creek... Ok I know it is, it goes something like this, "its like when you grow up, you just stop needing those people like you did, and its sad" that's not it exactly, but its the gist. I guess that's how life goes. Those people made you who you are, impacted you, changed you, helped you, you helped them. Life wouldn't have been bearable without them, but I guess over time we all just need something else out of friendships and relationships and we just need eachother less, thus not making what we had any less valuable, but maybe not as involved as it once was. Ok, that's prolly quite enough rambling for today. But more, as per usual... Later
