Geranium kisser

Skin like silk and face like glass
Don't confront me with my failures
Kiss me with your mouth open
For your love, better than wine
For your cologne is really fragrant
Call on me, call on me, call on me

Your hair is like an eagle
Your two eyes are like two doves
But our bed is like a failure
All day up in the family
At the waning of the light
To the chamber that conceived me
Call on me, call on me, call on me

Geranium killer
Throat of soil of and mind like stone
Please don't defend a silver lining
Around the halo of what is already shining
When all the planets are aligning
For an afternoon that's never ending
Call on me, call on me, call on me

"I woke up this morning, you know...

and the sun was shining, and it was nice, and all that type of stuff. And the first thing, I saw you, and, uh, I said, "Boy, this is gonna be one terrific day, so you better live it up, because tomorrow you'll be nothing. You see? And I almost was."

One of my new favorites

Jack fell down and broke his crown, Melissa came tumbling after.

Ouch. The stairs have finally gotten the best of me. I fell down our stairs in our house (nice hardwood stairs to catch my falling body) and was/am in such excruciating pain. I gave in and went to the ER after dinner since it hurt so badly and prompt care was closed.

Apparently I have a deep muscle contusion and now am on Tylenol with codeine and a muscle relaxer I don't remember the name of. It's making me rather sleepy.

I can't go in to the United Way tomorrow because I can't drive like this, so HOPEFULLY I can be productive tomorrow since I sure as hell wasn't today because I spent four hours in the ER.

Should've turned around and left before the sun came up again

But the sun came up again.

"I coulda has class...

I coulda been a contender. I coulda been somebody, instead of a bum, which is what I am, let's face it."

I am learning about lobotomies

and I find it very interesting. Horrifying, but definitely very interesting. See, these tendencies are what make me wish that I had the mind for math and science so I could happily study and become some sort of doctor and make a difference in the world that way, but alas, I do not.

So now

I've moved from sore throat to stuffy nose and congestion. Typical. That's okay though. I much prefer this to the severe pain of the sore throat.

In other news, I'm on this recycling task force on campus with a few other students and the VP-Business Affairs and we're doing a walk-through of one of the dorms to see where we'd put recycling bins to ensure student participation. This whole experience has been both interesting and frustrating. Everything moves too slowly for my liking. Ah well. That's life.

Time for more rest, and some Mucinex.

My throat

is being a little bugger. I JUST got over the flu and now I have a sore throat. Goodness.

Ughhhh

I have the fluuuuuuuuuu. This is so horrible.
