Slow Dance
Slow Dance
Have you ever watched kids
on a merry-go-round
Or listened to the rain
slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?
You better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last
Do you run through each day
on the fly
When you ask "How are you?"
do you hear the reply?
When the day is done,
do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
running through your head?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last
Ever told your child,
We'll do it tomorrow
And in your haste,
not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
'Cause you never had time
to call and say "Hi"?
You'd better slow down
Don't dance so fast
Time is short
The music won't last
When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift....
Thrown away...
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.

5 stages
Denial - then Anger - then Bargaining - now Depression - now ................................... Acceptance - when?
I think that's what it is... it's complicated. Thanks for listening Luchi, I feel TONS better... even if some mud had to be thrown, the cause is worthy!! :P I am thankful that you are one person who I can talk to about certain things and you understand. Guess I am lucky that I have a few people like that - I assign you each a topic of my distress and train you how to answer so I feel better. :P
Thanks for not giving up on me people!! xoxoxoxox

Presidents day = almost everyone gets the day off
But not me! It is in fact on of the days where I work more than ever! But hey, that's okay - moneys = rent = comfy-cozy = good. When you are working in retail, holidaiz mean the masses will be out spending their mulla like it's going out of style. Yeah don't be outside enjoying the weather, go for a bike ride stupid people! My job makes me hate Americans more than I should.
But at the same time I can have fun at work. I just have to pretend I am not really at a job. Maybe just out and about meeting random people are striking up conversations. It's easy for me to live in my imagination, I'm a Pisces! :) You'd think I was actually happy about this fact the amount I talk about it. Alas, I am hoping for pity. In doing my horoscope yesterday, after Kristina suggested I look on my birth certificate for my time of birth instead of relying on my mother's "somewhere around 2, 2:30, or 3:30. Somewhere around there.", I now know I am:
Sun Pisces
Moon Pisces
Mercury Aquarius
Venus Pisces
Mars Pisces
Jupiter Libra
Saturn Libra
Uranus Sagittarius
Neptune Sagittarius
Pluto Libra
True Node Leo
Ascendant Cancer ----- it was thought I might have a Leo rising, but no. More water!
You ask what this means? I present Miss Undecided waterfall on legs! That's what! ... ohhh what tangent am I on? Hehe. I'm all over the place tonight. It's far to late at night for my brain to have the ability to write a well thought out thesis, build and conclusion. I do that all week long with homework!! I will close with something easy... on the eyes and my brain... photiiiii!! :)
With all the take off an additional 40% + $10 + 25% more + coupons + a bag of cookies sales going on, we succumbed and partook of the great indulgence. Brandt needed a suit for some up and coming work stuffs so we got him kitted out. We saved about 70% so HEY, I guess we did alright!
fweeet fweooo (that's the sexy whistle thang peeps do, i can't spell.)

Quite possibly
the best Radiohead Album YET! "In Rainbows" you MUST take a listen. It perfectly captures my senses.
These videos leave much to be desired visually, but just listen. It's a perfect wet-and-cold-winter album that will translate your gloom into a melodic inner warmth.

Where are all the bloggers gone to?
Do you ever miss the little blogging world that was so active a few years ago? I do. It's just not the same like it was somehow even when people do blog. What do you think happened? Well my mom's COOL and has a blog! ;) CHCK IT! Actually most of my favourite ladies are MOMs. Gasp! Luchi, Xtina, Christina, (oh and Luchi's mom - she writes best comments) What does this tell me? But wait, you were cool before you had babies, so don't try and try and make me admit that being a mom makes you cooler. :P
So did you know yesterday was Valentines Day? I swear I almost missed it ;) The interesting thing about having an American boyfriend is that he has all the holidays and celebrations preprogrammed. Even if you'd prefer not to recognize a particular holiday, there's just no way round it. How can one make the transition from February 13th to February 15th without buying flowers or buying anything at all!? But I digress, he got me some roses and I was most touched... even if consumer pressure from society and possibly trauma from previous relationships influenced him more than love, he still made an effort to surprise me cuz that's just how he rolls:)
A funny story actually, at least I thought so, he bought the roses and freaked a little about what to do with them till I got home as we have no vase! (Hey we're young! Only moms and grandmas have vases!) So, he tells me later, his first thought was to try and shove them into the 4L water bottle, tie a ribbon around it and hope that would do the trick. Haha! Well, sadly he decided against that, as I would have loved to see and instead just set them on the kitchen counter with a card and there I found them, slightly wilted and turning brown. But awwwww =)
Here's us this time last year in Maui! <3

in my world
slackers would be given just as much for their lack of efforts as their over achieving counterparts, because that's just fair!! heehee. Just kidding, I'm no commie I swear!! :P
I'm lazy and I admit that I hate applying my mind. I feel like I don't even think the right way for a lot of what I will be studying anyway. I'm more of a fairytale loving, unrealistic, random and ideally an out of touch with reality kind of person - which is hard to translate into anything logical. =) It's hard for me to have to force my mind into behaving in a very specific way and then repeating the method over and over. Tough stuff for a vivacious mind!! But I need the discipline and to come to terms with the fact that some things are just always going to be plain hard and I should get used to that.
oh look at the time... Happy Valentines Day!!
Nighty night

Ah tis spring, or so it feels like
After having just gone through a depressingly wet winter, I have decided I would never survive (quite literally) in any such place where the sun fails to shine... a lot. Which kinda sucks because those are definitely some of the coolest places (think Seattle, London, San Francisco, anywhere in Northern Europe, Canada, Alaska, Iceland, probably Argentina and quite possibly anywhere outside of California.
Tsktsk I know, what an exaggerater I am. I'm just being a whiner cuz I don't get to gallivant around the world at the moment so I have to make myself feel better about staying put. I'm learning a few lessons in procrastinating dramatic change, because SOMETIMES you learn a lot from following through on something you set to do and following it through to completion. I get bored easily................
!!!LNF!!!
I just finished skyping my dad and found out that he is hoping we might be able to move up to Seattle to live at the house with my little sister!! My dad and step-mom will be living in France and little sis is in Beauty School, prefers to stay put and finish up her studies. So I guess I take back everything I said!! Haha yaya!
