Fitting for my time managment skills.

Always Running Out of Time By Motion City Soundtrack


I won't tell you how to live your life
So please stay far away from mine
Always watching out for which and when
Is always running out of time

Drip drops in like skin of summer
All once everything unwinds
Inside-out and all about my heart
Is always running out of time
Always running out of time

I have to know
If you flew away with me
The faster I go
The further away it seems we get
And floating our way out

Tick tock, try to stop the forward motion
All heads tend to fall behind
Wasted whethers of the wish cut steeper
Is always running out of time
Always running out of time

I have to know
If you flew away with me
The faster I go
The further away it seems we get
We fall behind
And all of her end

I should have stayed
But I lost my head
With all of our words
Devoicing themselves
I should have stayed
But I lost my head
I should have stayed
But I lost myself

Always running out of time
Always running out of time
Always running out of time
Always running out of time
Always running out of time
Always running out of time
Always running out of time
Always running out of time

Snow pea crisps have a consistency much like fun-yuns.

I Can't Wait to See the Movie!

Alice by Avril Lavigne

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_h0UOh2zCw

Trippin out
Spinning around
I'm underground
I fell down
Yeah I fell down

I'm freaking out, where am I now?
Upside down and I can't stop it now
Can't stop me now, oh oh

I, I'll get by
I, I'll survive
When the world's crashing down
When I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around
Don't you try to stop me
I, I won't cry

I found myself in Wonderland
Get back on my feet again
Is this real?
Is this pretend?
I'll take a stand until the end

I, I'll get by
I, I'll survive
When the world's crashing down
When I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around
Don't you try to stop me
I, I won't cry

I, I'll get by
I, I'll survive
When the world's crashing down
When I fall and hit the ground
I will turn myself around
Don't you try to stop me
I, I won't cry

Memories

Within Temptation
The Silent Force
Memories


In this world you tried
Not leaving me alone behind

In this world you tried
Not leaving me alone behind

In this world you tried
Not leaving me alone behind
There's no other way
I prayed to the Gods, let him stay

The memories ease the pain inside
Now I know why

All of my memories keep you near
In silent moments, imagine you'd be here
All of my memories keep you near
Your silent whispers, silent tears

Made me promise I'd try
To find my way back in this life
I hope there is a way
To give me a sign you're okay

Reminds me again it's worth it all
So I can go home

All of my memories keep you near
In silent moments, imagine you'd be here
All of my memories keep you near
Your silent whispers, silent tears

Together in all these memories
I see your smile
All the memories I hold dear
Darling, you know I'll love you till the end of time

All of my memories keep you near
In silent moments, imagine you'd be here
All of my memories keep you near
Your silent whispers, silent tears
All of my memories

Lalala

So I'm loving the songs I'm hearing from the Almost Alice cd (as in Alice In Wonderland).

Possession

So I think I'm just going to go on a lyrics run for a bit. It makes me happy and no one's forcing you to read them so no complaints!


Sarah McLachlan

Possession



Just close your eyes

And I would
And I would
And I would be the one

full lyrics... Just close your eyes

And I would
And I would
And I would be the one

full lyrics... Just close your eyes

And I would
And I would
And I would be the one

And I would
And I would
And I would be the one to hold you down

And I would
And I would
And I would be the one

And I would
And I would
And I would be the one to hold you down

Kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
And after
I'd wipe away the tears

Just close your eyes
Just close your eyes
Just close your eyes
Just close your eyes

Just close your eyes
I'll hold you down
Kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away

Just close, close your eyes
Just close, close your eyes

Just close your eyes
Just close your eyes
Just close your eyes

Just close your eyes

Noooowwww!

So I'm totally stealing this from a fb friend's posting but it's just too good not to share.

http://www.penny-arcade.com/2010/2/17/funny-dad-story/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:%20pa-mainsite%20(Penny%20Arcade)&utm_content=Google%20Reader


Oh, if I could only know for sure that I'd get a kid who would re-enact SW with me, I'd be more on the kid train.

slushy

Really overslept again. Meant to be more productive yesterday but just crashed. Got up to do a bit of domestic-type stuff, eat, see men's figure skating before crashing again. When the alarm went off I was just so incredibly tired that I went back to sleep thinking I'd be up in an hour or two. It was a bit longer. Why do they have the figure skating so late? Can't they schedule the Olympics around what's convenient for me?

Anyway, I went to a trial/park thingy to walk but it was still snowed under. It was slushy though so I wobbled my way along a bit. I looked at it as something like the "fitness shoes." They're supposed to put you a little off balance and so that's how I thought of the functioning of the slush.

Ug. So much to do and not enough time or energy it seems.

Off to attempt functionality.

Pandora

So, overall I ADORE Pandora. It's introduced me to so many new wonderful artists and songs. But there's a but. You put in one Superchic(k) song and wham, you're inundated with Christian Rock. Some of the songs aren't bad, but for the most part they just aren't my thing.

Bits

Let's hear it once again for Pandora!!! I've been introduced to Rosi Golan and Say Hi in a 7 day time period.

I've discovered marshmallow fluff. On my PB&J and spread on graham crackers. Oh, and straight from the jar.

My interenet keeps cutting off for some reason. Started about yesterday ish.

The thermometer says it's actually warmer in here than it has been but it feels colder. Maybe it's just been so cold for so long that it's sunk in. Stupid cold.

I've got some thoughts/whines/etc. but they're not the thing to put on a public forum. So not too terribly much to share right now.

Oh, I totally want the Alice in Wonderland CD. Not the soundtrack but the Alomost Alice cd. Want to see the movie too but I've got to focus on the MPRE. I made my very first hotel reservation and everything!

Happy Valentine's Day

So, when I first heard this, I was like, "This is SO my Valentine's song this year!"

"Your New Twin Sized Bed" by Death Cab for Cutie

You look so defeated lying there in your new twin size bed.
With a single pillow underneath your single head.
I guess you decided that that old queen holds more space than you would need.
Now it's in the alley behind your apartment with a sign that says it's free.

And I hope you have more luck with this than me.

You used to think that someone would come along.
And lay beside you in a space that they belong.
But the other side of the mattress and box springs stayed like new.
What's the point of holding onto what never gets used?

Other than a sick desire for self-abuse.

And I try not to worry, but you've got me terrified.
It's like your some kind of hurry to say goodbye, say goodbye, say goodbye.

You look so defeated lying there in your new twin size bed.
You look so defeated lying there in your new twin size bed.

OMG!

I have discovered marshmellow fluff!!!
Woooooooow.

Snow on Snow, Snow on Snow

"In the bleak midwinter Frosty wind made moan, Earth stood hard as iron, Water like a stone; Snow had fallen, snow on snow, Snow on snow, In the bleak midwinter, Long ago."

Christina Rossetti

Wal-Mart on Fire.

Did you hear about the Pocomoke Wal-Mart? It's closed due to fire. They're saying that some disaster/ catastrophe but the store nearby are saying that some kids were smoking in the produce section and set some bags on fire. They're letting people pick up prescriptions but that's it.

No. Just plain NO.

I'm over the whole snow thing. I've been over it for a while now. At this point, everything's just turned to a nasty ice. Everything now has a dangerous sheen to it. I have to wear snow boots to get to my car b/c I don't have a shovel and even if I did, I don't think I could remove the giant ice/snow sheets on either side of the car. It's so compacted now that maybe I could get away with sneakers, but school shoes are out of the question. I'm sick of it. I'm tired of there being a niggling worry about getting stuck or spinning out on ice in the the back of my head everytime my car moves. I'm worn out from worrying whether or not a class will be canceled. I'm sick of constantly checking to see if the prof. will e-mail to say class is canceled at the last second. If they know they're having class, they should just send an e-mail saying they will so we're not left in suspense.

Now they're making some vague comments about more snow coming? NO. No, I'm not dealing with that crap. I truly think that if I see another snowflake fall here this winter I'm going to go bonkers. Run out to the middle of the road screaming profanities and flailing limbs, crazy.

Oh, and on a dif. note, I get annoyed when we're told to proof read our papers and e-mails by profs. and then we get e-mails that obviously have not had the slightest lick of proof-reading done to them.

breaking down the door

I got this in my e-mail:

"The mighty wind has broken the main entrance door. The replacement unit will not be here until tomorrow."

Yeah, and you're telling me to go driving around in that. Uh-huh.

SO sleepy

Couldn't sleep last night. I forgot I had an assignment and then another assignment turned out to be bigger than anticipated so I didn't get to bed until late. Then I couldn't sleep. I just want to take a nap but am trying to finish things up. I keep hoping that the other class will be canceled and I can take a nice long nap. No such luck.

Music

And whats that saying again,
They're only words
and words can't kill me
Well, I can't even spell them
and cadence to what she says is well.

Let's talk about spaceships,
or anything
except you and me
Okay?

Don't Wanna!

I don't wanna go to class tomorrow!!! Whah!!! I know. I know. I'll have to make it up anyway, but right now I'm more so focused on my complete lack or productivity combined with the urge to take long naps. Is it so bad to hope that instead of having to come to school tomorrow, my prof. gets to stay snug and warm in his house sipping hot tea and watching a bird feeder or something?

I dug the car out yesterday. I couldn't back it all the way out then but got it backed out today. I should be able to get out tomorrow. When I do, I'm doing my best to stock up on ice melt (or if it comes to it, kitty litter) because they're calling for a wintry mix Tuesday.

Went out today to see if I could get out of the parking lot on the other side. I think I can. At the very end right before the street, it looks a bit sketchy, but hopefully things will work. The snow was really wet and icy. Like if you step on it, it get's a little compressed and slick.

The sun's hitting the screen at a bad angle. How did all that dust get everywhere?

Flipped a coin and am going with the St.s tonight.
My goal is to do homework during the game and watch the commercials.

This time last week we knew about class. No word so I'm gussing I get to go ice skating in the car tomorrow morning. :-(

In a Giant Snowglobe

It stopped snowing a while ago but they're still calling for more to come. Low temperatures and the fact that they're calling for more snow during the week have me twiggy. I'm not one of the idiots who like driving in the snow.

The salsa thing was good. It wasn't as sweet as I thought it would be but was still good. If you like grilled pineapple, you'd probably like this.

I've decided to do laundry. I cleaned the microwave and may actually do some more cleaning. Or not.

Other than sleeping a lot (which I think others are doing too) I think I'm coping pretty well. I need to do more school work. I don't like to keep candy around and I got to a point where I just want to eat a pound of chocolate. I hunted down my "secret" M&M stash and may make brownies.

Think that's about it.

week lite

So one class Monday, one class Tuesday, and one class today. Snow.

Got the quick car wash today since it was warmish and sunny. I figure even with the coming weather it was probably a good idea. I came out to the parking lot today and my car was just so crusted with ice melt that it looked white.

I didn't have any real ice problems until today. Coming back from class and stocking up, I got stuck turning onto the road to get to the parking lot. I couldn't go forward or backwards. Luckily three very nice, wonderful people helped me out. I was ready to have a panic attack. A few minutes later I think another car got stuck worse than I did. I mean the spot looked sketchy but it's been looking sketchy and there haven't been any problems.

So shopping - I stocked up because the weather's supposed to be bad starting Friday. I got a little crazy. I found a peach, pineapple chipotle salsa. I figure it'll probably be sweet with a kick. I'm thinking of making the Bisquick salsa chicken recipe with it and using mozzarella instead of cheddar. Figure it'll be either really good or really bad. I also found some refried beans. I like them when I'm out so I figured I'd try 'em. For the most part, I LOVE AMY'S brand. I tried their tomatoe bisque today. I liked it. It had tomatoe chunks and I liked it. That's saying a lot. Oh, and since you can't speak of tomatoe soup without mentioning grilled cheese, I was horrified when the store didn't have the Pepperidge Farm sourdough. That stuff makes a great grilled cheese.

I'm getting a little sick of getting snow off my car. And that leads to a mini-rant. Me in my crap ankle manage to get all the snow off the top of my car, the lights, and all the windows. Idiots driving around can't be bothered to clear their rear windows. They leave tons of snow on their roofs. It's bad enough that it falls and blocks their view, but when it flies off on the highway and slams into my car, I get upset. Idiots.
