“Spike said, ‘Human beings often display emotion they do not feel. And they often feel emotion they do not display.’ That’s a description of me all right. I keep myself locked as a box when it matters, and broken open when it doesn’t matter at all.”

Miscellaneous:

I sneezed five times during my last major speech Tuesday night.
I have an A in public speaking. I am so very shy / quiet so this is kind of a big deal. The first day of class, the prof had us take as many Kleenex tissues depending on how confident we are (one for very confident and four for not so confident). I took about 10 or more! Afterwards, he made us say things about ourselves. So, if you took one, you only had to say one thing about yourself. :( I was, like, oh this is just fantastic. Ended up saying the most out of everyone else.
Today was the last official day of classes for me.
Every outlet at the CSULB library is a war zone.
Picking up dad at LAX on Saturday.
I have planned out my finals study schedule (including breaks) and it starts tonight. Everything will go as planned.
Why isn’t it raining right now? Please rain.
Vanilla Mint Chapstick, I love you.

And now I shall get back to studying.

Tokyo Police Club - Tessellate

One of my favorites.

Cjal, when I look back to those nights we drove around (well, you driving and me in the passenger seat), this song always pops out + a bunch of other songs. But mostly this song. You were singing along to this around the same time we were near El Dorado Park, I believe. Oh hello part of my brain that deals with memory. Why can’t you help me out with things regarding life cycles, mass extinctions, explosions, and detailsdetailsdetails in the history of life.

“We all need someone to look at us. We can be divided into four categories according to the kind of look we wish to live under. The first category longs for the look of an infinite number of anonymous eyes, in other words, for the look of the public. The second category is made up of people who have a vital need to be looked at by many known eyes. They are the tireless hosts of cocktail parties and dinners. They are happier than the people in the first category, who, when they lose their public, have the feeling that the lights have gone out in the room of their lives. This happens to nearly all of them sooner or later. People in the second category, on the other hand, can always come up with the eyes they need. Then there is the third category, the category of people who need to be constantly before the eyes of the person they love. Their situation is as dangerous as the situation of people in the first category. One day the eyes of their beloved will close, and the room will go dark. And finally there is the fourth category, the rarest, the category of people who live in the imaginary eyes of those who are not present. They are the dreamers.”

Beirut “Postcards From Italy”

— UTTERLY MAGNIFICIENT

Where you have so much to do, but none of it seems to matter, and you can’t get out of bed, and you want to cry, and all you really need is a good, long hug?
