scattered thoughts   (issue 9)

Friday January 4, 2008

The last time I saw you, you turned away (I couldn’t see you with the sun shining in my eyes)
I said “hello” but you kept on walking (I’m going deaf from the sound of the freeway)
The last time I saw you, you turned away (I couldn’t hear you with your voice ringing in my ears)
Do you remember where we used to sleep at night? (I couldn’t feel you, you’re always too far away)

The first time I saw you, you turned away (I couldn’t see you with the smoke getting in my eyes)
I said “hello” but you kept on walking (going deaf from the sound of the DJ)
The first time I saw you, you turned away (I couldn’t hear with the noise ringing in my ears)
Do you remember where we used to sleep at night? (I couldn’t feel you, you’re always too far away)

I don’t, don’t wanna take you home
Please don’t, don’t make me sleep alone
If I could, I’d only want to make you smile
If you wanna stay with me a while

It’s good to smile, yeah. And if you don’t smile yourself, you can still catch some of it from the guy next to you.

Calah’s changing her name, Anthony’s found someone new and the world keeps on turning. Linkin Park in February, woo. Roadtrip, oow. Took Hannah to Wausau the other day – roadtrip therapy. Turns out that shopping is also a powerful form of therapy (it’s astonishing how long they can spend in American Eagle…), and it’s hard to justify not opening a new credit card to get that 10% off. Bills are going to be interesting this month. :)

My family got back from Salzburg, from what I hear. A vacation in eastern Europe. The Family von Bowen. Ethan’s become quite a good photographer; glad he’s along to document the trip with Mom.

Bleshkabob. My mind is scattered. :) No sleep + strange illnesses + work + coffeecoffee.

Oh, funny story. I dropped calc II from my spring semester schedule, freeing up some time. Wanted to compare notes with Erhan (guy from school), find a CS course in common. Being in Turkey, he wasn’t conscious last night at 8pm CST (assuming that he’d be online if he was), so I ran a script through the housing department’s website to pull out student email addresses and IDs, looking for Erhan’s, so I’d be able to subsequently pull up his schedule for next term. Heh. Hooray network security. I love the internet.

spring schedule

And weekend.

I don’t, don’t wanna take you home
Please don’t, don’t make me sleep alone
If I could, I’d only want to make you smile
If you wanna stay with me a while
