poop. what have i gotten myself into?

lyricals

so tell me when you hear my heart stop
tell me when you hear my silence
if there's a possibility...
i wanna know.

--

so i slid back the curtain and i
let the colours fill your space
never knew that nothing was
until too late

here i am
i'm walking down memory lane
playing games
tricksters in misery

oh, i forgot. how could i forget?

broken hearts

but baby, i'm a loser in love

eyes wide shut

never has coffee come to the rescue like this before. i'm not so sure my stomach can handle its chemical compounds much longer...nor my eyes. it feels like my skin is drooping all around my face.

one downfall to studying at panera's: i think my phone is vibrating all the time. that would be a negative. yet i check every time.

tomato soup

i am sitting here at panera's in an extremely unruly fashion.

:-)

food for thought.

i saw a girl today and i couldn't help but think, "wow. do i look like a slut when i wear clothes like that?"

China-Taiwan Relations

can we talk about china and taiwan for a second? well, since the 2008 elections of taiwan and the peaceful transfer of powers that occurred between the DPP and the KMT party, there has supposedly been a lot of improvements being made. for example, president ma has been keeping up communication with the PRC and has proposed a new ECFA movement that should increase economic ties between taiwan and the PRC. it will not only be beneficial for taiwan, but believe it or not, for china as well. however, what exactly does this new ECFA entail? nobody in taiwan knows, at least not the people. the KMT party, in the hopes of ameliorating relations with the PRC while holding true to the "three noes" of taiwan without compromising its de facto sovereignty so passionately upheld by the taiwanese people, has consistently lacked transparency in actions and policies when dealing with China. president ma has made attempts to stir up support among the people, though many would call his efforts, to say the least in the form of a less politically correct term, sketchy.

so what happens now? does china intend to prove itself to taiwan and the US, and for that matter the rest of the world, that it can in fact keep its word and willingly open up dialogue with the evolution of its age old enemy, the KMT party? will the new ECFA movement pass? and if it does, what are the implications for the US? will the US now have to review its outdated policies towards taiwan and the PRC and possibly be forced to cooperate on less-agreeable terms that may infringe upon its national interests?

regardless, why can't i just focus on my paper and get it over and done with?

Mother Nature Calls

Would someone please watch my stuff while I go pee? Kthxbye.

Focused?

My aspiration in life is to be able to say, "I could really care less about what people thought about me," and really mean it for as long as I continue to breathe, eat, and poop.

Paper from Hell

caffeine, check.
quiet setting, check.
research material, check.
computer, check.
brain, check.
determination, ?

...determination?

The Walk by Imogen Heap

Still my favorite song. Great piano parts, too.

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - TR

feigning insensitivity.

why can't i just scoff at you and not care?

A first time for everything.

Went to my first real gay house party ever. Never thought I would be saying something like this, but it is refreshing how open they are about their sexuality.

Managed to make two gay guys jealous of me for getting to mess around with a straight pretty boy with blond hair and blue eyes...did not think that would ever happen either.

I am going to miss this place; I am making my premature farewells to DC, a time during which only too much has happened. What a semester.
