| hello kids. i suppose after all of this time all i really have to say is try to find happiness in every day. it may not seem like it's possible, but it is. find joy in the little things in life. we are blessed to be here.
enjoy the update. =]
"life is like a box of crayons. most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. i fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though i've got a few missing. it's ok though, because i've got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. i have a bit of a problem though in that i can only meet the 8-color boxes. does anyone else have that problem? i mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation. so when i meet someone who's an 8-color type, i'm like, 'hey girl, magenta!' and she's like, 'oh, you mean purple!' and she goes off on her purple thing, and i'm like, 'no - i want magenta!'"

"i always thought that there was this one perfect person for everybody in the world, you know, and when you found that person the rest of the world kind of magically faded away, and, you know, the two of you would just be inside this kind of protective bubble, but there is no bubble, i mean if there is you have to make it, i just think life is more than a series of moments, you know, we can make choices, and we can choose to protect the people we love, and that's what makes us who we are and those are the real memories"
-forces of nature-
"i love you without knowing how, why, or even from where."
-patch adams-
"i wonder how many people never get the one they want, but end up with the one they're supposed to have."
-fried green tomatoes-
"life is messy, love is messier."
-catch and release-
"to love is to suffer. to avoid suffering, one must not love; but then one suffers from not loving. therefore, to love is to suffer, not to love is to suffer, to suffer is to suffer. to be happy is to love; to be happy then is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy; therefore to be unhappy one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness. i hope you're getting this down."
-love and death-
"love is passion, obsession, someone you can't live without. if you don't start with that, what are you going to end up with? fall head over heels. i say find someone you can love like crazy and who'll love you the same way back. and how do you find him? forget your head and listen to your heart. i'm not hearing any heart. run the risk, if you get hurt, you'll come back. because, the truth is there is no sense living your life without this. to make the journey and not fall deeply in love - well, you haven't lived a life at all. you have to try. because if you haven't tried, you haven't lived."
-meet joe black-
"summer romances begin for all kinds of reasons, but when all is said and done, they have one thing in common. they're shooting stars, a spectacular moment of light in the heavens, fleeting glimpse of eternity, and in a flash they're gone."
-the notebook-
"i wish people could achieve what they think would bring them happiness in order for them to realize that's not what happiness really is."
-alanis morisette-
"happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed."
-storm jameson-
"it is not length of life, but depth of life"
-ralph waldo emerson-
"i love that you get cold when it is 71 degrees out. i love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. i love that you get a little crinkle in your nose when you're looking at me like i'm nuts. i love that after i spend day with you, i can still smell your perfume on my clothes. and i love that you are the last person i want to talk to before i go to sleep at night. and it's not because i'm lonely, and it's not because it's new year's eve. i came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible."
-when harry met sally-
"things turn out best for those who make the best of the way things turn out."
-jack buck-
"i'd like to think the best of me was still hiding up in my sleeve."
-john mayer-
“i would not leave you in your times of trouble. we never could have come this far. i took the good times, i'll take the bad times, i'll take you just the way you are.”
-billy joel-
“if your world doesn't allow you to dream, move to one where you can.”
-billy idol-
"happiness isn't always the best way to be happy."
-where the wild things are-
“if you are not doing what you love, you are wasting your time.”
-billy joel-
"i could die right now, clem. i'm just... happy. i've never felt that before. i'm just exactly where i want to be."
-eternal sunshine-
"be careful what you pretend to be because you are what you pretend to be."
-kurt vonnegut-

"honey, time marches on and eventually you realize it is marchin' across your face."
-steel magnolias-
“turns out not where but who you're with that really matters.”
-dave matthews-
"i don't want you to go, i'll eat you up i love you so."
-where the wild things are-
"go be that starving artist you're afraid to be. open that journal and get poetic finally. volunteer. suck it up and travel. you were not born here to work and pay taxes. you were put here to be a part of a vast organism, to explore and create. stop putting it off. the world has much more to offer than what's on 15 televisions at TGIFridays. take pitctures. scare people. shake up the scene. be the change you want to see in the world. you'll thank yourself for it."

| happy fourth of july!
or, as my friends and i have deemed it--intoxicated independence day. hahaha. i hope everyone has a safe and fun holiday. =] enjoy the fireworks and bbq with the ones you love, whether it be your family, boyfriend, or friends. they won't be around forever. appreciate them while you still can! you know the drill, 5 comments for another update. subs are always welcome too. =] enjoyyyyyy.
“school is still the same. there's still that one guy that you get up and go to school for in the morning. the one with the mysterious confidence that every girl falls for. those years of school wouldn't have been the same without him. i wouldn't have been the same without him.”
-never been kissed-
you’re my artificial escape
the burning inside when i can’t sleep
an addiction that i know way too well
my dirty little secret that i’ll never tell
“when they ask me what i liked best, i'll tell them it was you."
-city of angels-
i would rather touch your lips than touch these keys
you come first, last, and always
“i wonder how many people never get the one they want, but end up with the one they're supposed to have”
-fried green tomatoes-
every time i’m lost
i’m always lost finding my way back to you
the one i need when i'm awake.
“don’t say we aren't right for each other, the way i see it is, we aren't right for anyone else.”
-the cutting edge-
i’m spinning around
i’m out of control
i’m digging myself a familiar hole
“sometimes i wish i had never met you. because then i could go to sleep at night not knowing there was someone like you out there.”
-good will hunting-
all i’ve got on my mind is your face
but you’re gone tonight
“there are millions of people in this world, but in the end it all comes down to one.”
-crazy/beautiful-
don’t take the covers of your bed
i don’t want you to forget
i just want you to remember all the times we spent
dancing off our feet
pulling on the sheets
“i know that some part of you is hesitating for a moment, and if there is a moment of hesitation, then that means you feel something too. all i ask, please, is that you just, you just not dismiss that and try to dwell in it for just ten seconds. alyssa, there isn't another soul on this planet who has ever made me half the person i am when i'm with you, and i would risk this friendship for the chance to take it to the next plateau. because it is there between you and me. you can't deny that. even if, you know, even if we never talk again after tonight, please know that i'm forever changed because of who you are and what you've meant to me.”
-chasing amy-
oh we need each other to go on
i’m tired of waking up alone
let’s run away
if you take me back my love, i swear i’ll change
“you spend all your time looking for love, yet you feel nothing, even when its staring you in the face. i will love again, but you will spend all your life knowing you turned your back on love. and that makes you a hypocrite”
-cruel intentions-
i let my vision blur
the lights reminded me of her
and the way i let her down
“i always thought that there was this one perfect person for everybody in the world, you know, and when you found that person the rest of the world kind of magically faded away, and, you know, the two of you would just be inside this kind of protective bubble, but there is no bubble. I mean, if there is you have to make it, I just think life is more than a series of moments, you know, we can make choices, and we can choose to protect the people we love, and that's what makes us who we are and those are the real memories.”
-forces of nature-
she said
you'll lie wide awake at night thinking about the battles between you
and i know it's not about who wins
sometimes it's better to give in
you've got to learn to try again
“you know, that moment when you kiss someone and everything around you becomes hazy. and the only thing in focus is you and that person. and you realize that that person is the only person that you're supposed to kiss for the rest of your life. and for one moment you get this gift. and you want to laugh and you want to cry because you feel so lucky that you found it and so scared that it will go away all at the same time.”
-never been kissed-
i've got to let her go
and the truth is i'm better off alone
no sense in dragging someone else along
and i know that she knows
“when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.”
-when harry met sally-
but time's passing slowly
i'm so lonely without her
she's absent from my world
“there is a place you can touch a woman that will drive her crazy--her heart.”
-milk money-
maybe you should turn around and walk away
cause you're not really listening
to anything that i've been trying to say
“i love you without knowing how, why, or even from where.”
-patch adams-
stop ignoring me
please baby, baby please just go
cause i can't be held responsible
leave baby, baby leave cause i know
that it's impossible
“the only feeling of real loss is when you love someone more than you love yourself.”
-good will hunting”
crushing the grass tasting the past
in your mouth
let me forget your head on my chest
we cross the line confused
“i believe there's a place where the restless souls wander, burdened by the weight of their own sadness. they wait for a chance to set the wrong things right. only then can they be reunited with the ones they love. sometimes, a crow shows them the way; because sometimes, love is stronger than death.”
-city of angels-
why would you say that all our hope is gone
are you trying to hurt me
why would you say we're barely holding on
to say that you need me
"i love you. and not, not in a friendly way, although i think we're great friends. and not in a misplaced affection, puppy-dog way, although i love you. very, very simple, very truly. you are the epitome of everything i have ever looked for in another human being. and i know that you think of me as just a friend, and crossing that line is the furthest thing from an option you would ever consider. but i had to say it. i just, i can't take this anymore. i can't stand next to you without wanting to hold you. i can't, i can't look into your eyes without feeling that, that longing you only read about in trashy romance novels. i can't talk to you without wanting to express my love for everything you are.”
-chasing amy-
you can dream baby, but you know
that this can’t be casual
“how lucky i am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.”
-annie-
heading straight for LA
more of a reason to go
less of a reason to stay
with every mile she goes a memory fades away
“if i tell you i love you, can i keep you forever?”
-casper-
how you smile when you say that you hate the excitement
of the dangerous roads that we take
“a heart can be broken; but it keeps beating just the same.”
-fried green tomatoes-

"do you ever put your arms out and just spin and spin and spin? well, that's what love is like. everything inside of you tells you to stop before you fall, but you just keep going."
-practical magic-
“the greater your capacity to love, the greater your capacity to feel the pain.”
-jennifer aniston-
you say your love is all i need, but i don't need a lot
you say you're sorry but i know that you're not
“i'm lonely. why do you think i had to learn to act so independent? i also get mad too quickly, and i hog the covers, and my second toe is longer than my big one. my hair has it's own zip code. plus, i get certifiably crazy when i've got pms. you don't love someone because they're perfect. you love them in spite of the fact that they're not.”
-my sister’s keeper-
“maybe who we are isn't so much about what we do, but rather what we're capable of when we least expect it.”
-my sister’s keeper-
did you think you would prove the whole world wrong?
everything's never enough
baby you're so, well you're just too much
everything's never enough
“living in the moment brings you a sense of reverence for all of life's blessings.”
-oprah winfrey-
“jesus, i’m not going to be one of those people who sits around talking about what they’re gonna do. i’m just going to do it. imagining the future is a kind of nostalgia... you spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you’ll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. you just use the future to escape the present.”
-looking for alaska-
i've got bruises on my hands and knees
and a list of failures in between
“promise me you'll never forget me because if i thought you would i'd never leave.”
-winnie the pooh-
“it’s strange indeed how memories can lie dormant in a man’s mind for so many years. Yet those memories can be awakened and brought forth fresh and new, just by something you’ve seen, or something you’ve heard, or the sight of an old familiar face.”
-where the red fern grows-
“only a man who has felt ultimate despair is capable of feeling ultimate bliss.”
-the count of monte cristo-
“it's just human. we all have the jungle inside of us. we all have wants and needs and desires, strange as they may seem. if you stop to think about it, we're all pretty creative, cooking up all these fantasies. it's like a kind of poetry.”
-northern exposure-
without you, there's no reason for my story
and when i'm with you i can always act the same
forever, yeah if we're together
we can make it better
“love is everything it's cracked up to be. it really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for.”
-erica jong-
“is love supposed to last throughout all time, or is it like trains changing at random stops. if i loved her, how could i leave her? if i felt that way then, how come i don't feel anything now?”
-northern exposure-
you keep me up at night when I'm worried sick about you
and no one ever said it would be that easy without you
and i can't keep my hands from shaking,
baby, you're the only one that can save me.
“to love is to receive a glimpse of heaven.”
-karen sunde-
“the biggest adventure you can ever take is to live the life of your dreams.”
-oprah winfrey-
“to be brave is to love someone unconditionally, without expecting anything in return. to just give. that takes courage, because we don't want to fall on our faces or leave ourselves open to hurt.”
-madonna-
“life's greatest happiness is to be convinced we are loved.”
-victor hugo-
“if we couldn’t laugh, we would all go insane.”
-jimmy buffett-
“every one of us gets through the tough times because somebody is there, standing in the gap to close it for us.”
-oprah winfrey-
“i finally realized that being grateful to my body was key to giving more love to myself.”
-oprah winfrey-
"accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart."
-marcus aelius-
"to live is like love, all reason is against it, and all healthy instinct for it."
-samuel butler-
“look, i guarantee there'll be tough times. i guarantee that at some time, one or both of us is gonna want to get out of this thing. but i also guarantee that if i don't ask you to be mine, i'll regret it for the rest of my life, because i know, in my heart, you're the only one for me.”
-runaway bride-
“he was like an angel, you know? i never knew life could be like that. he was the one thing i followed through in my life, the one thing i didn't give up on. i was good at loving him.”
-the untamed heart-
“you are what i never knew i always wanted”
-fools rush in-

| i knew this would happen. i knew that i would go back to him. i don't know why i keep doing it to myself. when i'm with my boyfriend i'm so happy but it's just not the same. i'm so lost without him. and it's pathetic.
god. anyways, i hope everything is going well with you guys. i feel horrible for not updating more but basketball is almost over and then i'll have a ton more free time. enjoy the update!
five comments until next update!
“i plan to live forever…or die trying”
-blake’s seven-
“i never expected to be anybody important.”
-elvis presley-
“sometimes i wonder if anything's absolute anymore. is there still right and wrong? good and bad? truth and lies? or is everything negotiable,left to interpretation, grey. sometimes we're forced to bend the truth, transform it, cause we're faced with things that are not of our own making. and sometimes things simply catch up to us.”
-one tree hill-
“that’s the thing—we die.”
-push-
“it's all right letting yourself go, as long as you can get yourself back.”
-mick jagger-
“fuck off with your sofa units and strine green stripe patterns, i say never be complete, i say stop being perfect, i say let’s evolve, let the chips fall where they may.”
-fight club-
“to love someone, when there is no chance of that love ever thriving, that is romance.”
-dawson’s creek-
“and if you ever decided to leave me i would go and find you and bring you home because you would be wrong.”
-mad about you-
“all i'm gonna do is just go on and do what i feel.”
-jimi hendrix-
“this is your life and it's ending one minute at a time.”
-fight club-
“there are no shortcuts in life or love. the pain must be felt. it's what makes us special; what makes us beautiful; what makes us worthy. the pain of how we love. but that pain is accompanied by something else. hope. with that pain is hope.”
-brothers and sisters-
“that's what real love amounts to--letting a person be what he really is. most people love you for who you pretend to be. to keep their love, you keep pretending, performing. you get to love your pretence. it's true, we're locked in an image, an act.”
-jim morrison-
“you don’t get to choose you just fall in love and you get this person who is all wrong and all right at the same time. and you know you love them so much except sometimes they just drive you completely insane and no one can explain it. and the reason it’s so confusing is because it's love., but if love didn't have any challenges what would be the point?”
-party of five-
“it's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything.”
-fight club-
“sooner or later you're going to realize just as i did that there's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.”
-the matrix-
“i like these calm little moments before the storm. it reminds me of beethoven. can you hear it? it's like when you put your head to the grass and you can hear the growin' and you can hear the insects.”
-leon-
“we should all be so lucky to have someone who will never let us go. the ultimate legacy is to leave behind someone who will love you forever.”
-ally mcbeal-
“love is difficult. for one human being to love another human being, that is the most difficult task that has been entrusted to us; the final test and proof; the work for which all other work is merely preparation.”
-brothers and sisters-
“happiness is anyone and anything at all, that's loved by you.”
-charlie brown-
“all our young lives we search for someone to love, someone who makes us complete. we chose partners and change partners. we dance to a song of heartbreak and hope all the while wondering if somewhere and somehow there is someone searching for us.”
-the wonder years-
“people are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. people talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. love hurts. feelings are disturbing. people are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. how can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? pain is meant to wake us up. people try to hide their pain. but they're wrong. pain is something to carry, like a radio. you feel your strength in the experience of pain. it's all in how you carry it. that's what matters. pain is a feeling. your feelings are a part of you. your own reality. if you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. you should stand up for your right to feel your pain.”
-jim morrison-
“the past is a great place and i don't want to erase it or to regret it, but i don't want to be its prisoner either.”
-mick jagger-
“the best music, you can seek some shelter in it momentarily, but it's essentially there to provide you something to face the world with.”
-bruce springsteen-
“i'm happy to be alive, i'm happy to be who i am.”
-michael jackson-
“you have to forget about what other people say, when you're supposed to die, or when you're supposed to be loving. you have to forget about all these things.”
-jimi hendrix-
"and then, something happened. i let go. lost in oblivion. dark and silent and complete. i found freedom. losing all hope was freedom."
-fight club-
