(quickly...)
i had a dream about a group of people who were put together to build a community in a reality-show type fashion. two individuals stand out; i know their faces so well i would recognize them in a crowd. one is a young man who acts as a father to two teenage boys, but is rough and unkind with them. the other is an old man who walks with a tall wooden cane, and who gets sad when he sees the boys mistreated by their father figure. he becomes so sad that he decides to end his life, so he publicly burns himself, but the fire doesn't take quickly so he holds his smoldering hands to his face until it slowly starts to dissolve.
it disturbed me so much i decided to wake up.

we got ourselves a freaking sweet apartment by a river and a health food store.

this is the best thing ever. i hope this is the start of a good 2008. i will have to consult with my new deck :::

fire by scantron
i would have imagined my professor would have said ANYTHING about a test coming up AS WELL AS a point-heavy paper that was due, seeing as i feverishly emailed her all last week while i was freakishly sick. her respone to my onslaughts was "Thanks for the update!"
NOT to mention the syllabus is almost 100% unrelaible, with no calender or chapter guide.
now i have to come up with a fantastic amount of b.s. to appease everyone-- i dont get it. i keep my head out of the clouds now more than ever at school and yet i always feel totally unprepared and am missing things-- but then when i reach out to my instructors for help they hand me cotton fluff and it gets us no where.
IM NOT READY TO GET SOME BULLSHIT BAD GRADES BECAUSE OF SOME BEAURAUCRATIC OVERSIGHT!
damnit.
i'm a straight-A kid.
im so ANGRY

you're in my head...
i wonder about my wandering toward you,
it's unstoppable-- but
not that i would want to....
a drawing
a bridge upping
a south call
to autumn's fall
where we first met...
hours is what you get,
adoration, too
i meant what i confess
and more
to you
night time
dark time
our time
our time
what little we have to share
crusts of bread
and knots in thread
and still we meet
there
night time
dark time
your time
and mine
i wait
like a wolf
wounded and
wet
and silently kept
as your post
