In Order to Un-Disconcert
In accordance with the will of my dear sister-in-law I am posting a new blog. In thinking about what to post, I thought about music theory and how it relates to life(dry), a poem(slightly depressing), and a silly chain blog-thing.
So here is the blog thing...
Respond by posting your name and:
1. I'll respond with something random about you.
2. I'll tell you which song or movie you remind me of.
3. I'll pick a flavor of jello to wrestle you in.
4. I'll say something that only makes sense to you and me.
5. I'll tell you my first memory of you.
6. I'll tell you what animal you remind me of.
7. I'll ask you something I've always wondered about you.
8. I'll tell you my favorite thing about you.
9. I'll tell you my least favorite thing about you.
10. Post it on your profile so you can play with your friends.
Here is part of a poem-thing that I wrote when I was getting in the head of a character I am writing about:
Squelching and complaining at her interference, the grasses snip and nibble along her arms and neck as the panic blossoms.
Heart pounds, ears ringing, palms sweating and her dilated eyes scan for signs of his passge but the lone girl glimpses only the swirling flight of the bats and swallows.
Her fingers grasp the reeds, knuckles whitening.
The blood dripping is invisible to her.
Her other hand tangles in her curls as she lifts her face to the moon and cries.
Her tears wash away the hope and anticipation of this secret rendezvous, they wash away the hope of a heart torn and stapled back together.
Sanity drips off the plains of her cheeks and runs in rivulets down her pumping chest which bellows air in the shape of a cry of ultimate suffering.
Her poor tattered soul is weary-her hand unfurls from her hair as those red-rimmed and tortured eyes reach the horizon.
Her pupils contract and she is able to take a breath, her knuckles unlock and fingers unclench and she wipes the remnants of her unrealistic expectations away with a blood soaked hand leaving war-paint streaks across her suddenly calm face...

Trying
I have decided to try and write every night. I have recently started writing poetry again and some of them are trying to become songs. So, I am trying to keep that creative side of my brain flowing by priming it every night. I have found that keeping a journal and blogging helped me with that. After even the minuscule blog with the video below I wrote some really cool stuff. I don't promise to write, and definitely don't promise to share it here, but I will endeavor to do something like that.
It seems like relationships are catching around here. So many of the people I spend time with are in or on their way to being in relationships. I spend a lot of time thinking about that sort of thing and have blogged about it in the past. I try not to agonize and stress over relationships and my lack of one but I frequently fail. I don't think that I really want to be in a relationship right now, no I'm am a liar, I do. I also know that it wouldn't be fair to whomever to only get a tiny part of my time.
As I have gone through this semester so far Clayton and I have stayed super close and he visits me quite often. Now for those drive-by readers, Clayton is my best friend in the whole world. He is also gay, so there is nothing romantic between us. We are really codependent though and are not quiet about how much we love each other. Moving on...apparently there was a guy who was somewhat interested in me who heard me talking about Clayton and possibly even heard me on the phone with him saying "I love you!" This freaked him out and even after he heard that Clayton is gay still frightened him. In this specific situation I didn't mind having him back off, I am not at all interested in him. Besides, any guy in my life is just going to have to understand that Music and Clayton come first.
So take that!
I keep telling myself that the time will come and I will find someone to love. I also have to tell the voice that says I am deluding myself to shut up and shove it. I also look at myself and my life realize I am where I need to be and doing what I need to do. If I were to add anymore stress or complications to my life I wouldn't necessarily do so well.
That is all for now. Clayton is on his way to catch up on Heroes!!!! Yay!

Roxette - Crash! Boom! Bang!
So I was just catching up on some family time when I all of a sudden remembered Roxette. I remember listening to this song with my big brother. He was a major influence in my early life and in some of my music choices. I just though I would post a video.
I specifically remember road trips with music blaring in the car singing along with whatever he was listening to. So big brother, this one is for you!

Keeping Above the Tide
I apologize in advance for the randomness and general disorganization of this post. I am having a scatterbrain moment.
Here we are, it's the first month of school and I have already dealt with strep throat and plenty of stress. I'm still trying to find a way to keep myself organized, but, as usual, am failing miserable. Not really, I am completely exaggerating. I just wish I could keep myself a bit more organized.
I am loving all of my classes except physics, although I think once I get my textbook it will go much easier for me.
Um, random....I am the Assistant Stage Manager for the fall show entitled "The Independent Female or A Man Has His Pride" a melodrama about feminism and the roles of men and women in society. The cast is great and I am having fun playing Rosencrantz, to our Stage Manager's Guildenstern(or is it the other way around). We are great friends and always give each other a hard time to the great enjoyment of the cast and director.
Yay!
Sometimes the only way I can get through the week or day is to think of my life like a musical. There is already music(I need to work on the choreography a bit more) and plenty of both comedy and drama. There are situations of slapstick type hilarity, including tonight: during the clean up from the theater department mixer Sarah and I put away a table and it was one of those moments where everything goes wrong. First, we were on the wrong side of the table in order to carry it. Then, we were facing each other not in the same direction. So both of us taking matters in out own hands both proceeded to turn around so we were facing away from each other. Maddie, one of our friends, was looking on and cracking up so then we both realized what had happened and could barely pick up the table we were laughing so hard.
This is what happens all the time. especially when Sarah and I are together, and increasingly when Maddie is together. Sometimes we even speak with the same words and pitches, at the same time. It's pretty funny, at least to us.
Um, that's all for now, I think.
Oh, Jinks may be going to a new home. Clayton is starting school again and now lives farther away from both his job and his school so Jinks wouldn't get the attention and time he deserves. I will miss the little bugger. I guess Clayton and I will have to wait to have out own little gay family. Ha! Look below for a picture of our happy family.
