SO. FUCKING. COLD.
Yeah...yesterday it was all sunny and crap, then I wake up this morning and it we got another six inches over night. The fuck? It's still coming down.....I have to admit though, it's fucking beautiful. Even if I am bitter about my frozen face from having to trudge the 1/2 mile up to the music building for my piano lesson. Lately I've had the strong urge to go to a really spectacular piano concert. I turned down going to one with my dad right before I left for school because I was too tired or drunk or something and now I really wish I'd gone. Or could go now. Whatever.
God it's beautiful out.
I have this thing where I love putting together music that goes really well with certain weather/times of day, etc. For instance, I discovered that driving (to Raleigh, NC) at 3am in torrential rain while listening to The Postal Service is a genuinely moving experience. Today I knew I'd have to find another great matchup, and I'm proud to say I picked correctly -- embarking on a 20 minute walk across an abandoned campus freshly blanketed in new snow is a job best accompanied by The Shins. It was fucking magical.
I'll probably update more later since I have a lot on my mind right now, but at the moment I have to go trade a backrub for some soup. How very "Will Work For Food" of me.
THEN SHE ADDED PICTURES
RaleighBoy drew this and it fucking rules. Talented guy, awesome dude, etc etc.
In other news, pictures from the trip have been pilfered from some bitch's journal:
Allll the smooth motherfuckers know the ladies love the ties.
And every smooth motherfucker knows to always have the ultimate accessory: a spazzing nerd in the background to make you look cool. Rent yours today, hourly fees available.
Ha! Irony.
Every spazzing geek knows how to look like a slightly nervous koala when having their picture taken. It's an art.
As I was walking to piano today, the Shins crooning in my ear, I thought about how damn good I've been feeling lately, all things considered. I tend (as some of you may have noticed
) to spend a lot of my time feeling somewhat out of sorts, out of place, or both, but looking at the beautiful untouched snow spread out around me and feeling the swirling snowflakes flirt with my eyelashes and slip inside my coat, I was filled with an undeniable feeling of general well-being. It's hard to say if it's because now, after two weeks of unease, I'm finally settling back in, or perhaps because of the weekend's reminder that I can get away when I need to, but I'm feeling good. I have so many projects and goals to keep me occupied (not the least of which is finishing unpacking...) and I have great friends to talk to while I'm working on them (even if most of them are online or far away). Even though there are minor things going on right now that bother me (and god knows I feel like am a fucking idiot for letting them bother me) nothing's really getting to me right now. Water off a duck's back, or what have you.
I think part of it has to do with doing a fair bit of self-exploration lately. Between talking a lot with various people and the large amounts of time I've had walking to classes (or zoning out during them) just to think to myself, I've been doing a lot of introspection. No real new or moving conclusions, but it's kind of calming. Mostly silly though, considering I think way too much anyway. Oh well.
So yeah. Life is good. Even though I probably will have pulled a 180 by tomorrow. Oh well.
PS - You're no one til somebody hates you.

Edited to say he even got your smirk right, that's like your most recognizable feature. You can really tell it's you that way.
