I'll post the pictures of my old apt soon

Counting Down the Hours

26 and 1/2 hours til its over with ... two finals and an essay before then. Sleep? I dont know probably a nap .. in a public place, because then I'll be more likely to wake up. Today I was late to my first final because I was taking an hour nap .. that turned into a 4 hr and 45 min nap ... oops .. I look really dorky today ... but I dont care.

I'm sleepy ... I'm going to have to take a quick nap either before or after my final ... or both, especially if I"m going to be staying up for the majority of this evening to do my paper for russian and study for my exam tomorrow. OH FUCK!!! I just realized my exam tomorrow is from 9-11 not from 2-4 like I was thinking ... man I'm dumb. haha oh well I'll get it done .. my paper might not be in until like 2 in the afternoon but oh well, I"m sure Dr. Long will understand.

I'm going to have 14 and 1/2 hours to do my paper and study ... thats 7 hours roughly for each ... I think I can get my paper done in 5 ... ok back to studying for today's final.

My countdown is different though ... its less than 24 hrs ... its 21 hrs roughly til I"m free. I cant tell if I'm happy or not that its less time.

I've never been in a tornado before

So yesterday, after carrie and i got out of our russian final, we decide to eat something and then go to happy hour ... because we needed it. So we went to TGI Fridays but happy hour was over, so we just sat down, talked and had a drink .. and then we got hungry and got an appatizer. We then decide to go dancing ... that since my final today was not until 2pm, that as long as i didnt have anything else to drink, then I would have plenty of time. We got ready, and went, but grahams didnt have too terribly many people and we were kinda stand-out-ish .. so we went to the crying shame instead ... we danced to like one song, but we mainly just chatted at the bar while carrie drank. Then ... in the middle of a pretty good song ... the lights went out ... stayed out for a while, and then came back on .. and so on ... people started talking about torandos, some people started freaking out ... which was a bit over the top, but I remember times of getting emotional or angry or something when I was drunk, so i suppose its understandable. They wouldnt let us leave until later though, so we hung out in the bathroom, carrie had to go, and then we started chit chatting with some other people that were in there. When they let us out (telling us that we were crazy, that it was "scary out there") .. we drove home, to MUCH debre and all of the lights being out in that electric grid. At this one bridge (we were going to carrie's apt) I looked at something that just seemed to be in the road, it was white .. and i was like ... ICE? ... carrie warned me right before I hit it thought ... it was that the bridge was a few feet underwater ... and it was just foam or something floating on top of it. well it would haev been kinda cool to get a picture of it, cause the water was definantly splashed to several feet above the car ... *to my comment about that carrie said "NO, we canNOT do that again"* .. I didnt want to do it again, I just thought it would have made for an interesting picture. Well I stayed at carries, ... I really didnt want to drive in that w/o my glasses again .. and we watched a part of bridget jones diary (I had seen the second one, but not the first ... I"ll ahve to watch it again though, cause I fell asleep) .. i then woke up later and studied on and off .. between falling asleep .. for my test today. All in all ... it was an interesting adventure.

THE FRAY -- OVER MY HEAD

I never knew
I never knew that everything was falling through
That everyone I knew was waiting on a cue
To turn and run when all I needed was the truth
But that's how it's got to be
It's coming down to nothing more than apathy
I'd rather run the other way than stay and see
The smoke and who's still standing when it clears and

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

Let's rearrange
I wish you were a stranger I could disengage
Just say that we agree and then never change
Soften a bit until we all just get along
But that's disregard
You find another friend and you discard
As you lose the argument in a cable car
Hanging above as the canyon comes between and

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on

And suddenly I become a part of your past
I'm becoming the part that don't last
I'm losing you and its effortless
Without a sound we lose sight of the ground
In the throw around
Never thought that you wanted to bring it down
I won't let it go down till we torch it ourselves

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

Everyone knows
She's on your mind

Everone knows I'm in
Over my head
I'm in over my head
I'm over my

Everyone knows I'm in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She's on your mind
She's on your mind

THE FRAY -- HOW TO SAVE A LIFE

Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

THE FRAY -- SHE IS

Do not get me wrong I cannot wait for you to come home
For now you're not here and I'm not there, it's like we're on our own
To figure it out, consider how to find a place to stand
Instead of walking away and instead of nowhere to land

This is going to break me clean in two
This is going to bring me close to you

She is everything I need that I never knew I wanted
She is everything I want that I never knew I needed
(2x)

It's all up in the air and we stand still to see what comes down
I don't know where it is, I don't know when, but I want you around
When it falls into place with you and I, we go from if to when
Your side and mine are both behind it's indication

This is going to bring me clarity
This'll take the heart right out of me

She is everything I need that I never knew I wanted
She is everything I want that I never knew I needed
(2x)

This is going to bring me to my knees
I just want to hold you close to me

She is everything I need that I never knew I wanted
She is everything I want that I never knew I needed
(2x)

She is everything I needed
She is everything

I love the fray ... haha heather you know what I mean ... we did this with Good Charlotte, American Pie, The Postal Service, Sum 41, All-American Rejects, Something Corporate ETC!!! ... its hyper-active, dance-fantastic, SING AT THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS WHILE DRIVING IN YOUR CAR WITH THE WINDOWS ROLLED DOWN until you stop at a stoplight and you look over at someone who is looking at you as if you had just grown a second head .... and then .... THEN ... you LAUGH!!!
