The Archipelago of Kisses Wednesday, November 23, 2011 Last blogged @ 12:18 PM We live in a modern society. Husbands and wives don’t grow on trees, like in the old days. So where does one find love? When you’re sixteen it’s easy, like being unleashed with a credit card in a department store of kisses. There’s the first kiss. The sloppy kiss. The peck. The sympathy kiss. The backseat smooch. The we shouldn’t be doing this kiss. The but your lips taste so good kiss. The bury me in an avalanche of tingles kiss. The I wish you’d quit smoking kiss. The I accept your apology, but you make me really mad sometimes kiss. The I know your tongue like the back of my hand kiss. As you get older, kisses become scarce. You’ll be driving home and see a damaged kiss on the side of the road, with its purple thumb out. If you were younger, you’d pull over, slide open the mouth’s red door just to see how it fits. Oh where does one find love? If you rub two glances, you get a smile. Rub two smiles, you get a warm feeling. Rub two warm feelings and presto-you have a kiss. Now what? Don’t invite the kiss over and answer the door in your underwear. It’ll get suspicious and stare at your toes. Don’t water the kiss with whiskey. It’ll turn bright pink and explode into a thousand luscious splinters, but in the morning it’ll be ashamed and sneak out of your body without saying good-bye, and you’ll remember that kiss forever by all the little cuts it left on the inside of your mouth. You must nurture the kiss. Turn out the lights. Notice how it illuminates the room. Hold it to your chest and wonder if the sand inside hourglasses comes from a special beach. Place it on the tongue’s pillow, then look up the first recorded kiss in an encyclopedia: beneath a Babylonian olive tree in 1200 B.C. But one kiss levitates above all the others. The intersection of function and desire. The I do kiss. The I’ll love you through a brick wall kiss. Even when I’m dead, I’ll swim through the Earth, like a mermaid of the soil, just to be next to your bones. / Jeffrey McDaniel - A's have ended but I'm rushing to town now, blog soon <3 Labels: END of A's, Love

Say whutttttt! Monday, November 14, 2011 Last blogged @ 6:20 PM I HAD MY FIRST CHEESEBURGER IN LIKE 10 YEARS. NOT KIDDING. Was just lamenting to the sheep how I was craving Macs and how I wanted to eat like a list of foods, LIST, I kid, it was more like the entire freaking menu!!! AND THAT SHEEP ORDERED IT FOR ME. OMGOSH. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT. I think that was like 1500 kcal worth of fats and I am feeling so guilty but oh so satisfied ;) [ I love my sheep!!!] CHEESEBURGERS ARE THE BOMBBB. I love my cheese and meat but dayumm I am feeling so terribly guilty now On a sidenote, Lit wasn't all that brilliant today. Was sneezing and sniffling throughout the paper I thought the MJC-ians were going to kill me after that. Plus poetry was rather tough, albeit extremely beautiful, as usual (: Richard was good though I would have to admit the question was rather narrow in scope and I liked the disgrace passage (: (: I hope I will at least do decently well like maybe an A would be good. Fingers crossed. ECONS. ONWARDS COMRADES. Sorry I know I am becoming strange but I can barely help it. All this pent up stress is turning me a little wonky. You wouldn't want to hear about the dreams I have been having haha. But anyway, have a great week friendlets, I will be out soon.

Secrets of the Unicorn Friday, November 11, 2011 Last blogged @ 8:50 PM And I smile to myself because I see just how far I have come (: (: (: Done with the first week of A levels and I must say it has been some time since I felt this good about my academics. I don't know how I will do, even do I am really praying for my As but I know, this time, I have no regrets. The best has been invested and I personally feel that I haven't shortchanged myself, my parents and the people who have stood by me this whole time. I know it is still rather early for a self reflective post, but there is this pressing need in me to say some things haha. I feel really blessed and am really thankful that that baggage I carried is no longer around. I still wish certain things didn't have to happen the way they did, but at the same time, there is this larger part of me that is glad that it did, because without 'that' and this year as huge learning experiences, would I be the way I am today? Something that really touched me this year was the myriad of friends who texted me, wishing me all the best for A's, and I am honestly really pleasantly surprised. Yes, pretty heartwarming to know that even though we have not been in constant contact you guys still remember me and what I'm going through <3 I guess you can call me a sentimental 'fool', for the lack of a better word at this present moment, but hey, it's the small things that really matter (: How do I put this, yes I am stressed. Yet, I feel peaceful. And it is strange in this comforting way. I remembered entering the hall last year for International History freaking out, feeling the information seeping slowly out of my head even before I could find my place in the hall but it is really different this year and once again I know I have God to thank because without Him, I am really pretty certain that I would not have been able to get through this the way I did (: Do I sound really jaded? I hope I don't because I don't think I am, fine, I am not hahaha. Have been in this contemplative mood the entire day haha. On something of an entirely different proportion, there is something really boggling me. I do not know where everything is going and it scares me. Not you, but this whole situation. The problem is I can't shut you out because the connection we have is undeniable and just pretty amazing. Truth be told, I am really thankful for you bothering to cheer me up especially when I was feeling so terrible haha. But getting over something does not equate to being able enough to venture into new ground and the idea of being vulnerable, trusting someone with a part of me honestly does scare me. Like you said, I have trust issues, haha and even though I know you were completely kidding, you have no idea how right you were. But then again with A's looming precariously over me, these thoughts will have to take a backseat. Enjoy what we have right now and progress as life leads. This year will be a year of rights and I am going to be certain of that <3 While I mug hard for ECONS (Please pray for me), Lit and SEA History, all you Uni kids out there play as much as you can, because when I am done, and you're having finals (hahahahaha) the town is going to be painted oh so red ;) Have a good weekend lovers, X Labels: A levels, Friends, Reflections |
