Green Eyes- Coldplay
Honey you are a rock
Upon which I stand
And I come here to talk
I hope you understand
That green eyes
Yeah the spotlight shines upon you
And how could anybody deny you
I came here with a load
And it feels so much lighter
Now I met you
And honey you should know
That I could never go on without you
Green Eyes
Honey you are the sea
Upon which I flow
And I came here to talk
I think you should know
That green eyes,
You're the one that I wanted to find
And anyone who tried to deny you
Must be out of their mind
Because I came here with a load
And it feels so much lighter
Since I met you
And honey you should know
That I could never go on without you
Green Eyes
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
Honey you are a rock
Upon which I stand

This message board-like community our journals are sadly morphing into may be of some benefit to me right now:
Burning Question (I would ask them but i first asked myself this after school today, so if anyone posts tonight I can get an answer... if not I'll ask about it tomm):
Is there something between Schotts and Katie?

Well, just came in from Candlelight, and it all went well... I'm slightly peeved/embarrased by the fact my mom practically owns that show and shows up in half of the acts if some little kid needs a dance partner or someone to hold their music... But I guess it's alright. Everyone seems to love my mom, and I guess I can live without the parents/friends conflict.
The film festival was great. That Old One, the short film, kind of jumped around, as a man who woke up at a woman's house tries to explain to his wife that he cheated on her... and he sees like 15 scenarios of what might have happened... I liked the second one, the feature film, "Outpatient". It reminded me a lot of K-Pax in some aspects. There's this writer/borderline psychotic (Morris) who has had a traumatic past, who mixes and incorporates reality and the book he's writing into each other. He consistantly gives his psychiatrist the chapters, and when she figures out he's writing about his life in the story, she realizes that a strange man who is following Morris' love interest, Raven. She tries to figure out if it's something to do with Morris's past, and if Raven is in danger. I really enjoyed it... but I kind of am split between whether the ending was hokey or if it was brilliant, or even 'pretty good'... There was a big revelation that happened like really fast, but if you look back you may have seen it coming. It had me surprised.
And three final words: Chemistry's A Bitch.

:: Music: "Centerfold" J Geils band
Nobody can believe HOW PISSED I AM at the world right now. What with all the surprise Chem paper, 4 math assignments, A group history project that I am somehow doing all of, despite my being absent up until the day it is due, plus other things. I cannot blame anyone for any of this besides the history. That's what I am pissed about. But the other stuff--- circumstantial. But it only adds kindling to the fire.
I regret not being able to go to the Rink with Katie again, but that's out of my control.
Why is it so hard to sit back from the steering wheel and let the world drive for a while?

Heh... J.R. is human after all... i never doubted him for a moment... Minus a few things, he's a pretty cool guy:
J.R.: did you by any chance get to see the film "lost in translation"?
April: no
J.R.: it comes out on dvd tuesday
J.R.: i got it last night
J.R.: on a whim really
April: it was nice to be at my house today, but my home is where my heart is, with my family
J.R.: i just got done watching it about 15 minutes ago. you'll have to forgive me but i'm a slight emotional wreck now.
J.R.: it was such a powerful story done so well
April: never even heard of it, tell me, what's it about??
April: are u a guy that crys over movies??
April: awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww how sweet!!!!!!
J.R.: francis ford coppola's daughtwer wrote and directed it
April: now that brings tears to my eyes
J.R.: i don't cry over movies, but i do get emotionally attached to characters and to stories
April: close enough
J.R.: i occasionally do get a tear at the right moment
April: awwwwwwwwww............*sniff sniff*
J.R.: 2 american's, both married, in tokyo
J.R.: one is a slightly washed up actor, in his 50s?
J.R.: the other, 25, just graduated last year, married to her husband who is a photographer. she's in town while he works
J.R.: it was such an incredibly powerful statement about how sometimes, you can be around tons of people, surround by people, yet still be entirely alone and almost forgotten to the point that you blend in
J.R.: and how that can all change if you can connect with something, anybody in the right way
April: so what's the plot?
J.R.: that's kinda it really
April: man you type really fast
J.R.: it's a story about being alone, or being with people who are so used to you that that don't see who you are anymore
April: now that's really sad........it's like they take you for granted
J.R.: they are both in that place, but run into each other in tokyo, a place where there are tons of people and you can't understand anybody because you don't speak japanese
J.R.: but they both are able to offer something to each other that they desperately need
J.R.: it's really emotionally powerful
April: ya know, I've never heard a guy speak the way you do about something such as this
J.R.: you don't talk to the right guys apparently :-)
This guy is great. and no, I don't stalk this guy. Not even close.

Uncle Skip always tried to get me to play football. He would say I'd be good as a lineman or a linebacker, whatever i set my mind to. He loved the Packers, and I always wanted to go up to Lambeau with Jim, Chris and him...

I just took a two hour nap, and I feel much better. My cough is going away, my nose is still running though, but my eyes aren't looking all bloodshot and cloudy, and my sinus pressure went down dramatically.
It's amazing what a few hours extra sleep can do.
I'm considering going to the film festival next weekend. A lot of the films look very good. maybe I can get some people to go with me.

Sick Sucks.
I've been feeling sick since Thursday night, and it really sucks. (Why do I feel like I should elaborate here, and say some thought provoking thing, yet I can't.)
The doctor put me on a cocktail of meds yesterday afternoon, and I'm starting to feel better already, but i didn't go to play for the risk of infecting people/wearing myself out. I didn't get to go skating last night, which really bummed me out. Katie sounded really disappointed too when I called her to tell her I wasn't coming. (Why does it always seem when the rare occasion comes that my friends want to do something I am unavailable... It really pisses me off.)
"Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots" is amazing. I absolutely love it.
Super Bowl tomorrow, and I'm very excited. Go Pats!
I have minimal homework this weekend, including that Yellow Wallpaper letter to write.

I got "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots" The other day... Great album. I heard the Flaming Lips are releasing a movie some time next year... apparently it's going to be pretty 'Psychadelic".... Could be fun.
Christmas On Mars is the title... It could be messed up. Definitely something to lick stamps to.

I can't imagine all the people that you know
and the places that you go
when the lights are turned down low
and I don't understand all the things you've seen
but i'm slipping inbetween
you and your big dreams
it's always you
in my big dreams
and you tell me that it's over
wake up lying in a patch of four leaf clover
and your restless, and i'm naked
you've gotta get out
you can't stand to see me shaking
no
could you let me go?
I didn't think so
and you don't wanna be here in the future
so you say the present's just a pleasent interruption to the past
and you don't wanna look much closer
cuz your afraid to find out all this hope
you had sent into the sky by now had crashed
and it did
because of me
and then you bring me home
afraid to find out that you're alone
and i'm sleeping in your living room
we don't have much room to live
I had these dreams that i learned to play guitar
maybe cross the country
become a rock star
and there was hope in me that i could take you there
but dammit you're so young
well i don't think i care
and if i hurt you
then i'm sorry
please don't think that this was easy
then you bring me home
cuz we both know what it's like to be alone
and i'm dreaming in your living room
we don't have much room to live
and konstantine is walking down the stairs
doesn't she look good
standing in her underwear
and i was thinking
what i was thinking
we've been drinking and it doesn't get me anywhere
my Konstantine came walking down the stairs
and all that i could do is touch her long blonde hair
and i've been thinking
it hurts me thinking that these nights
when we were drinking no they never got us anywhere
no
this is because i can spell konfusion with a k
and i like it
it's to dying in another's arms and why I had to try it
it's to jimmy eat world and those nights in my car
when the first star you see may not be a star
I'm not your star
isn't that what you said
what you thought this song meant
and if this is what it takes
just to laugh at my mistakes
and live with what i did to you
and all the hell I put you through
I always catch the clock
it's 11:11
and now you want to talk
it's not hard to dream
you'll always be my konstantine
konstantine, they'll never hurt you like i do
no they'll never hurt you like i do
no, no, no no no no no no
this is to a girl who got into my head
with all the pretty things she did
hey
you know
you keep me up in bed
this is to a girl who got into my head
with all the fucked up things i did
hey
maybe
baby
you could keep me up in bed
my Konstantine
spin around me like a dream we played out on this movie screen
and i said
did you know i missed you? [x7]
oh god i miss you
and then you bring me home
and we'll go to sleep, but this time, not alone, no no
and you'll kiss me in your living room
i know
you'll miss me in your living room
cuz these nights i think maybe that i'll miss you in my living room
we don't have much room
i said does anybody need that room?
because we all need a little more room
to live
my Konstantine
