My Body is a Cage

Things are finally starting to settle in. I've seen most of my friends and am expecting to see some more later this week for sure. I've had only two classes this week, so if things go as they have been, it should be a smooth semester. I'm really excited to learn about color photo seen as for the past 5 years all I've learned is b & w. I went outside the back of our apt. yesterday to take some photos and our neighbors ALL had their screen doors open and some were watching me, it was a little nerve racking but I have to do what I can to do well. My poetry teacher seems like a douchebag, but whatever, shouldn't be too bad.
Since my digital camera broke I haven't been able to take any pictures. Here's one from this weekend, a little reunion b/w back row/toronto buddies:


I've also figured out an issue from a little while ago, but even with the resolution I feel a little sad. Oh well...

Back to more movies/tv shows (i.e. Sex and the City, Sky Pirates, Clark and Michael, the Hills) OH YEAAAH

Bye Bye Baby

Something about leaving what's familiar is always hard, I find myself in near tears (which is very rare). Usually I like listening to slightly sad music to help... CS&N did the trick for me today

"49 Bye-Byes"

Forty Nine reasons all in a line
All of them good ones,
All of them lies.
Driftin' with my lady
We're oldest of friends
Need a little work, and there's fences to mend.

Steady girl, be my world
`Till the drifter come, now she's gone.
I let that man play his hand.
I let them go, how was I to know?
I'm down on my knees.
Nobody left to please.
Now it's over, they left in the spring
Her and the drifter, looking for beautiful things.
Steady girl, be my world
`Till the drifter come, now she's gone.
I let that man play his hand.
I let them go, how was I to know?
I'm down on my knees.
Nobody left to please.
On my knees,
feeling wrong
Mama's gone
Bye bye baby
Write if you think of it, maybe.
Know I love you. (Know I love you)
Go if it means that much to you.
Hey, but you can run, baby;
If the feeling's wrong before too long it's crazy.
And you're trapped, babe, an you know that's not where it's at, babe.
You're just seein' things through a cat's eye, baby;
That's not my old lady.
Come on and tell me, baby,
you better tell me, baby,
Who do you,
who do you love?
Time will tell us
who is trying to sell us.
Bye, bye, baby,
Write if you think of it, maybe.
Hey, but you can run, baby.
If the feeling's wrong, before too long, it's crazy.
And you're trapped babe, and you know that's not where it's at baby.
You're just seein' things through a cat's eye, baby;
That's not my old lady.
Come on and tell me, baby,
you better tell me, baby,
Who do you,
Who do you love?



"Helplessly Hoping"

Helplessly hoping her harlequin hovers nearsby
Awaiting a word
Gasping at glimpses of gentle true spirit
he runs wishing he could fly
only to trip at the sound of good-bye

Wordlessly watching he waits by the window and wonders
at the empty place inside

Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams he worries
did he hear a good-bye or even

Hello

They are 1 person
They are too alone
They are 3 together
They are for each other

Stand by the stairway you'll see something certain to tell you
confusion has its cost

Love isn't lying its loose in a lady who lingers
saying she is lost

And choking on hello

They are 1 person
They are too alone
They are 3 together
They are for each other


"Just a Song Before I Go"

Just a song before I go,
To whom it may concern.
Travelling twice the speed of sound
It's easy to get burned.

When the shows were over
We had to get back home,
And when we opened up the door
I had to be alone.

She helped me with my suitcase,
She stands before my eyes
Driving me to the airport,
And to the friendly skies.

Going through security
I held her for so long.
She finally looked at me in love,
And she was gone.

Just a song before I go,
A lesson to be learned.
Travelling twice the speed of sound
It's easy to get burned.



I'm going to miss so many people from home... it certainly was an interesing summer. The last night of seeing friend was, shall we say, rather eventful. No pictures this time, the camera's in the shop. Let's see, my buds and I saw Superbad. Oh man I am just SO IN LOVE with Michael Cera and Jonah Hill!! I went with M, J, K, R, E, and T. All great girls. After the show we went by to my place, hung out with my brother's friends from camp. Things got a little crazier than expected... and unfortunately the parents heard most of it (no interruptions, but scoldings the next day). My brother's friends are really fun to hang out with. I'd have to say the night ended relatively with a bang, considering all 8 of us slept in my room (some people departed earlier, others went to bed in a different room). Three of us on my bed, two on my pull out bed, and then three on the floor. We were up until 5:30am and then woke up to say goodbyes arouns 8am. I'm gonna miss these kids until I see them again for holiday break.

I am, however, very excited to see my school friends. I've gotten in touch with a few since arriving, but am staying at a hotel tonight. My dad and I are watching Grindhouse now, LOVE IT!
