5/12/02- It's all OVER! Hahahaaa! No, really, I had a total blast this semester. It's just that that last week of classes nearly took my sanity. o_O But now I have a week with nothing to do but tear up Beantown, before heading back to boring CT. And you know what? As much as I love it here, I can't wait to go home. ^_^ This summer is gonna kick some serious tush.

This is where I put up all of the things I'm into, um, at the moment (master of the obvious). They change whenever I feel like it, becuase like I said, they're for the moment. ^_^ (talking in circles is fuuuun.)

Quote(s):(I love quotes, what can I say.)

"Placing my heart home to the west, where we'll watch the same sunsets. When I doubt, I'll look east. Lock my heart in a brass box, to Newfound, Mass, I'm heading out. This is my home!"
-The Get Up Kids

"Then along the bending path away, I smiled in knowing I'd be back one day"
-Rufus Wainwright

"It is a truth universally acknowledged that the moment one area of your life starts going okay, another part of it falls spectacularly to pieces."
-Bridget Jones' Diary

"It's hard to stay mad when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once... and it's too much. My heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst. And then I remember... to relax, and not try to hold on to it. And then it flows through me like rain. And I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life."
-American Beauty

CD:Further Seems Forever - The Moon is Down

Song:Further Seems Forever - Monechetti
