you are my center when I spin away

I don't know if I've mentioned this up to now, but life is very, very strange here. Sometimes in ways that make me wonder if I've made the right decision, but most of the time the random occurrences are the things that make it better.

( I now live in a place that makes me sing Pocahontas songs on a regular basis - THERE ARE GRANDMOTHER WILLOWS AND EVERYTHING... this is probably because I'm like... 2 feet from Jamestown... )

Which brings me to this morning. I went to bed early for once, got up around 9 am to study a little bit more for a phonetics test, and my roommate leaves to go to the bathroom. When she comes back in, she's holding flowers, and says, "These were outside the door for you." Obviously a nice surprise, I figured they were from Kyle or something since he's the only person I know here, but there was a note with it. A note that said it was from some kind of Order.

I looked up everything I could think of, but there was no information on this at all. It's not even one of the secret societies that this college has, and there are like 5 or so of those. When I texted Kyle, he said he had no clue. Either he DOES have a clue and he's sneaky, or he really doesn't and it makes this even WEIRDER. Either way, they are very pretty.

MONEY WELL SPENT. ♥ Aibungee has given me no trouble thus far.

And then... I took some pictures around campus recently and I thought I'd post them here. Quick facts about them: There is this bridge that has a superstition around it, where if you kiss someone walking over it you'll marry them, and you walk over alone you'll be alone forever. Thomas Jefferson seems to follow me everywhere I go. The first picture is my dorm building, one of these buildings is one of the oldest college buildings in the country (this is the second oldest college, after Harvard), and the sunken gardens have no flowers, just space to frolic or what have you.

Pointless Post is Pointless In Purple-Ish
(but I'm very bad with colors, so don't take my word for it)

Also, I have a new layout ♥ (thanks for the scans, lady_gemma! Ilu)

Also also, I am learning two different ways to spell words phonetically because my classes don't match up. It is k r e z i.

When I stepped out of Alison's car and went to close the door, I not only saw the electric shock move from the door into my hand, I felt it all the way down to my stomach. My right hand is still throbbing awkwardly every now and again. It was very strange, and sort of uncalled for, considering I'd only been sitting in the car for 2 minutes. How can you build up that much electricity?

We watched a French movie called La Placard about a man who pretends to be gay in order to keep his job at a condom factory. The giggles were many. At least I could read the subtitles. I'm coming to the realization that I am in need of glasses. Too many years in front of a laptop screen.

I think I'm going to utilize this: LISTOGRAPHY
I have a fondness for lists. Especially crossing things off them.

I almost said "off of" and then I pictured the cackling dwarf shaking her tiny baby fists at me and reminding me of her stupid hotel and her stupid "cancelled" and her stupid face. And her stupid Tess of the D'Ubervilles, which was only made okay by my not reading it and presenting each chapter with songs like Sexyback and Love Thing by the Spice Girls.

I would say this is the end, but I've had this screencap just sitting here and I feel like posting it -



Yes you are, Matsufab. Yes you are. ♥

I'd have Ikuta Toma in my life if I could. He looks quite nice on my journal and it's a tease. But then, he'd have to fit into my plans -



I want this. I think about it at really random times. Because, several moments in my life I've thought, "I'm not really sure how much more my life can become like a movie," and I never mean it in a positive way. If I could put myself in someone else's life for awhile, not suggesting that mine is really all that bad (because I've been blessed with a lot of amazing things, and I know how to make the best of the things that aren't so amazing), I think I'd want her world.

( If you haven't seen Penelope, you should really treat yourself to it... )

I want the jacket, but I totally forgot to screencap that. Ah well.

I'd let this music play:
