Elizabeth Bishop knows what she's talking about...


The art of losing isn't hard to master;so many things seem filled with the intentto be lost that their loss is no disaster.Lose something every day. Accept the flusterof lost door keys, the hour badly spent.The art of losing isn't hard to master.Then practice losing farther, losing faster:places, and names, and where it was you meantto travel. None of these will bring disaster.I lost my mother's watch. And look! my last, ornext-to-last, of three loved houses went.The art of losing isn't hard to master.I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster.---Even losing you (the joking voice, a gestureI love) I shan't have lied. It's evidentthe art of losing's not too hard to masterthough it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.

Every word of every song I ever heard that made me wanna stay is what's playing...


From this time until the end of the year, EVERY YEAR, I feel.... so.... I dunno, like ass. I feel sad about the people leaving (this time it's me) and music is my only source of therapy. Unfortunately, I listen to shit that makes me sadder. Last year's music is haunting me again haha. I think it's seasonal.Anyway, until the day I graduate, I'm going to want to post lyrics. So this entry is backdated and will remain at the top of my page so I can post snatches of lyrics that describe.... this. Weird. End of Year. Feeling. My sisters and my brothers stillI will not kiss you'cause the hardest part of thisIs leaving you...**Now every word of every songI ever heard that made me wanna stayIs what's playing throughThe in-flight radio, and IAnd I am, finally waking up**On the stereoListen as we goNothing’s gonna stop me nowCalifornia here we comeRight back where we started fromPedal to the floorThinkin’ of the roarGotta get us to the showCalifornia here we comeRight back where we started from**If I say who I know it just goes to showYou need me less than I need youTake it from meWe don't give sympathyYou can trust me trust nobodyBut I said you and meWe don't have honestyThe things we don't want to speakI'll try to get out but I never willTraffic is perfectly stillWere only taking turnsHolding this worldIt's how it's always beenWhen you're older you will understandAnd again maybe you don'tAnd again maybe you won'tWhen you're olderYou might understandWhen you're olderYou might understand**Well I made my way back down to the valleyRight on past 83rd streetThat's where we once belongedBut I’m goneI swear I’m long goneSo give it up, throw your hats in the airAnd change just as they landYou’re saying, "We'll get out of here"Something tells me that you’re too scared to go**"Whats left to lose? You've done enough, And if you fail then you fail but not to us, 'Cause these last three years, I know they have been hard, But now it's time to get out of the desert and into the sun,Even if its alone."

Oooh nine.... eff nine. ELEVEEEEEEN oh two.


One Tree Hill = oh so satisfying.ANTM = NOOOOES, I dun care if she was a dumb bitch, she was gorgeous.Perks of Being a Wallflower = awesome.Prayer for Owen Meany = Eerily parallel to Perks of Being a Wallflower in ways... Me = Good morning, world.
