I was talking to Dylan [you, if you're reading this] and I guess the reason I haven't blogged in a while has been the fact that I got not one, but two journals for my birthday. I only write in one.
Ironically, it's maybe 2 feet away. Maybe three entries.
Anyway, not much has happened. No sudden urges to write more than maybe a line. I had the urge to write last night, but it's like, this chaotic [definition of chaotic by Marvelli: without form/structure. I'll go with that.] swirling cloud of an idea that hasn't really settled into a piece I can write yet.
But I'm afraid it's going to sound really emo.
I think this POST will sound emo.
But I digress.
I heard this song the other day when my friend linked me to his cover of it. I really liked the lyrics, so I looked the song up and listened.. and I'm not really sure if I like the song itself or just its words, but I think that even if I don't like the song, the words make up for it.
Or at least, they made me find likable aspects of the song.
I really like that it's a minor key, though. Haha, déjà vu, much?
I picked you out of a crowd and talked to you; I said I liked your shoes, you said, "Thanks, can I follow you?"
So it's up the stairs and out of view, no prying eyes- I poured some wine, I asked your name, you asked the time.
Now it's two o'clock; the club is closed, we're up the block.
Your hands on me, pressing hard against your jeans.. your tongue in my mouth, trying to keep the words from coming out.
You didn't care to know who else may have been you before.
I want a lover I don't have to love, I want a girl who's too sad to give a fuck.
Where's the kid with the chemicals? I thought he said to meet him here, but I'm not sure..
I've got the money if you've got the time; you said it feels good, I said, "I'll give it a try."
Then my mind went dark; we both forgot where your car was parked.
Let's just take the train. I'll meet up with the band in the morning.
Bad actors with bad habits, some sad singers they just play tragic..
And the phone's ringing and the van's leaving; let's just keep touching, let's just keep, keep singing.
I want a lover I don't have to love, I want a boy who's so drunk he doesn't talk.
Where's the kid with the chemicals? I've got a hunger and I can't seem to get full.
I need some meaning I can memorize- the kind I have always seems to slip my mind.
But you, but you, you write such pretty words.
But life's no storybook.
Love's an excuse to get hurt.
And to hurt.
Do you like to hurt?
I do.. I do.
-Lover I Don't Have To Love, Bright Eyes.
It's not that I'm proponing the message, per se, of the song. I just... I really like it. Haha, I can't think of much else to it. It's like it's got this hauntingly resonating quality about it.
It makes me think of downtown, maybe. I dunno.
Anyway.
Since this post, I've decided, shall be ungodly long-
I was thinking about this today.
I HIGHLY recommend the movie Inglourious Basterds.
The first chapter, especially, was FANTASTIC. Oh man. The ending of the first chapter is, arguably, my favorite scene. Not because of the gore, mind you, but because it's so... chilling, I guess? You just get this chill deep in your bones but you can't help to watch on, amazed. I actually think I started laughing, or smiling at least.
I can't tell you what the scene is because I don't want to ruin it, and don't go look it up either, but when you see it, you'll DEFINITELY know what I'm referring to.
In other nudes, my school asked me to attend Governor's School this summer.
Not kidding.
It was the strangest thing, too. They called me out of Chemistry one day to talk to me about the programs. I'm like "Why me?"
But apparently they wanted me for the music program. I'm a percussionist, we're a rare species.
Or at least a rare species in that I'm one of the few, I think, that hasn't died off from Jackass disorder. Haha, but you know, I'm modest too.
Anyway, I'm not going this summer, because tuition is a bitch and I can get into better programs when I'm a junior.
I really have nothing else to say other than I hope my prospects are what I'm holding them to.
To what? That's up to your own individual interpretation, reader. But if you see me in the next three days, you should have a good idea.
Until the next blue moon.
-CS.
