They got the patience of a million saints

Oh oh oh
I believe in waking up together
So oh oh
That means making eyes across the room

Just 'cause I'm shallow doesn't mean that I'm heartless

I've heard lies that could curdle your heartstrings
(Drunk girls)
A couple truths, maybe burn out your eyes
(Drunk boys)
Drunk boys leave their irons in the fireplace

Drunk girls, drunk girls, drunk girls, drunk girls...

Oh oh oh
I believe in waking up together
Oh oh oh
I believe I'm waking up, but no promises
Oh oh oh
I believe in waiting out the weather
Oh oh oh
I believe in making up

The day becomes the night (x4)
Honestly, honestly, honestly
Unless it hurts, why do it?
Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Oh

so was that love?

two weeks ago, i think i fell in love with a man. i say i think because it was so new, and i'm not sure i knew any better. i told him i loved him, and he told me he didn't have time for me, that i was too young to settle on him. i told him it was my choice and he told me i should know better than to think i didn't deserve more than he could offer.

somewhere along the way we lost the fun. i know that. i know it was there though, at some point. i have vivid memories of it, of playing and teasing and giggling. but then it vanisged; dissipated into stolen moments we'll never see again.

one morning we woke up and it just wasn't there anymore and we forgot to notice. now i fear that i have forgotten how to get it back.

maybe i will blame him. he might have killed fun. i'm not sure there was any room for it with him there in the picture. there was excitement, and sweetness, and a few giggles induced by the shock of attention. but no real fun, no jovial adventures, or weightless laughter. so yes i do believe he is the fun eradicating culprit.

today i have a crush on a boy, and it feels like great fun. it could be that great chance i need to bring me back into the realm of nonsensical recreation...

will you bring me someone to love?

cookie:           I'm only afraid of finding someone to fall in love with, is that lame?

mav:              is that lame

                      NO

                      because i wake up every morning fighting that fear

                      but you know at the same time i have decided that you have to make  
                        yourself happy and surround yourself with the people you want to 
                        be around and hope that in that moment fate will show you who you 
                        are meant to spend the rest of your love life with

for however often we've been told that not only do the best things come to those who wait, but more importantly that those best things come to you when you stop looking, who can ever really wait while they stop looking?

it's terrifying to think of being somewhere you don't think you'll be able to find love. almost 60% of the population here is off limits in my mind, but i love my friends and think i have a pretty good life here, so which is more important? fun with friends or some sense of the real imminent possibility of finding your one true love?

i still haven't decided. i agree with john, paul, george and ringo though that "there's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be." being here feels right, right now. so i will stay and continue to hope that love hasn't forgotten my address. 

his and hers

where is the balance?

could you shoot out the lights??

i am so exhausted that my brain has turned to mush. flashes of brilliantly sweet morning moments have found themselves in an epic battle with the weight of my eyelids and the guilt i feel for not having worked on the book for so many days.completely distracted and dizzy, i am left with only these to show for a day that will never feel as wasted as it may seem!

love love

there are certain websites that become cravings and then habits. you check them every time you go online, and you find yourself voracious for their updates. for me, and i am sure i have said it before, le love is one of these sites that i can't get enough of.

sometimes it hurts. and sometimes it heals. and sometimes it gives you things to carry with you...

and for that, i will continue to promote the beauty of le love's common love!
