This was my favorite poem for awhile. Still is one of them I think. ^_^ It always made me feel kinda sad and happy at the same time. Like this person really loves someone, and that's happy. But at the same time...the other person doesn't love them back...Don't ya hate that feeling? *sigh* God am I depressing tonight...Anyway, here's the poem!!!
When you are old and gray and full of sleep
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true;
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face.
And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead,
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
~William Butler Yeats

I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;
Nine bean rows will I have there, a hive for the honey bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.
And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet's wings.
I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements gray,
I hear it in the deep heart's core.
~William Butler Yeats

I'm back after a long hiatus. Well, not that long. I can't seem to make myself go to bed. So now you are going to hear all my ramblings. ^_^ Don't you just love me?
*sigh* Physics is an evil discipline which needs to stop tormenting my poor mind. *nods matter-of-factly*
Irish is still fun. But my teacher DEFINITELY has an irish temper. Dang, scared o' that.
EPS is the same thing over and over again. At least it's kind of interesting.
English is awesome at the moment. I love Yeats. He so rocks. In fact, I'm going to post two of his poems after I post this. That's right TWO. You don't have to read them, but I'm not "feeling the love"* right now, so you'll just have to suffer through it. Sorry.
The other night Devika, Danica and I decided we had to parade around the apartment wearing our new dresses (which we are wearing out this weekend with Eric and Ankush ^_^) and high heels. It was so exciting. Alice was even nice enough to "ooh" and "ahh" a bit for us. :-p
I was kinda moody tonight...I hope I didn't make anyone else down.
You know what? I'm just not very happy at the moment. (I mean this specific moment, not this period of my life.)
Perhaps that is my cue to go for now...:-*muah*

What's up? O_o I like that face. It's quite cute. Yesterday, my friend Brendan told me that I elongate my vowels too much. (He's a writer, and so must encourage correct grammar.) Which statement brought to my attention the fact that I bend the rules of grammar a bit too frequently in my everyday life. Therefore, I am practicing my writing etiquette. *sits very straight in seat*...
That very boring.
Okie dokie, I'm BACK! Woohoo!!! *happily dances around room*
Actually, now I have to go because I am in desperate straights when it comes to the homework situation.
*muah*! ^_^

Weeeeeee!!
Hiiii!!! Yes, I am quite hyper today. ^_^ I have also just discovered the All-American Rejects. OMG!!! I LOVE them!!!!!!!!!!!!
I went to a party last night at Lyndsay's co-op. Maggie and her friend Sarah came over from Oakland to go, too. That was awesome. : )
After the party, we headed over to Ankush's. Actually, we ran into Ankush and Anthony walking back to Ankush's place on OUR way to his place. That was funny. They had pizza. I stole some of Ankush's. *big grin*
So. I have decided that I WILL go to Physics tomorrow. *shakes fist* I am DETERMINED!!!!
I am being sooooo lazy and procrastinating so much. *sigh* But Devi is here! I have an excuse!!! YAY! :-p
I heard from Michael yesterday! That was exciting. He says college is "neat". hehehe I am so glad he's having fun. College is GREAT!!!!!!
Okay, I will be writing again later. For now I will bid you ADIEU!!
*muah*!!!

Wow, it's been a while. What have I done since that last post? Not a lot. (Note: If you want a detailed account of the SF trip, look at Devika's blog. ^_^)
I went to a party with Ankush and his friends Christine and Michelle on Thursday. The party was okay. *shrugs*
Yesterday was exciting. I went to the Superb movie thing at Wheeler with Nancy, Ari, Alice and Myung. We were supposed to be meeting their friend Stephen, but he was already inside and we didn't realize it. They were showing a Brazilian movie called City of God. It was soooooooo good!!!!! I loved it! It was so well done. *sighs*
Today is going to be hectic. Devika and I are shopping for decorations for Danica's Mom's party. Then we have to decorate the apt. After the party we're going to the Zakir Hussein concert in Zellerbach. I'm excited!!! My Dad knows of him and his reputation and he was so excited for me. I was like...wow, this guy must be good. Sometime before the concert, Maggie is coming over from Oakland cuz she's going to go to a party with me tonight. The party is after the concert at Lyndsay's co-op.
Then after the party comes my favorite part:
SLEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All right, must fly!

Once again, I am posting from Devi's room. ^_^ She and Ankush are quite intrigued by his new magic eye book, so they're looking at that. : p I, on the other hand, am still unwinding from a three hour physics session tonight. That was sucky. But at least Tristan was with me, so I didn't get TOO bored. ; )
I can't believe it's only Wednesday. It feels like it's been about three weeks since the week started. I have that stupid induction thingy tomorrow night. Ewwwww. I don't wanna go. : ( It's going to be long and boooooooooring. AND I have to wear "business casual" to it. I feel like such a poser in my business-y outfit. *sigh* I'm not looking forward to this. But at least Lyndsay is going to be there, too.
Yesterday, I went to SF with Devika, Danica and Kristin. (Kristin is their friend from way back who came to visit for a few days. She's really nice.) It was sooooooooo fun. I got new shirts. (I'm such a clothing-aholic.)
Oh dear, Devi needs her computer now. I shall report again!!!!
*muah*

I'm here reporting from the dorm room of one Devika Shankar. (Yay! hehehe) Well, she was showing me poems that she likes and it made me think of this poem I found in a random novel once. So, I looked it up online and, lo and behold, there were stanzas I'd never seen!!! Anyway, here is the poem (it's one of my favorites). ^_^
The Great Minimum
by G.K. Chesterton
It is something to have wept as we have wept,
It is something to have done as we have done,
It is something to have watched when all men slept,
And seen the stars which never see the sun.
It is something to have smelt the mystic rose,
Although it break and leave the thorny rods,
It is something to have hungered once as those
Must hunger who have ate the bread of gods.
To have seen you and your unforgotten face,
Brave as a blast of trumpets for the fray,
Pure as white lilies in a watery space,
It were something, though you went from me today.
To have known the things that from the weak are furled,
Perilous ancient passions, strange and high;
It is something to be wiser than the world,
It is something to be older than the sky.
In a time of sceptic moths and cynic rusts,
And fatted lives that of their sweetness tire,
In a world of flying loves and fading lusts,
It is something to be sure of a desire.
Lo, blessed are our ears for they have heard;
Yea, blessed are our eyes for they have seen:
Let thunder break on man and beast and bird
And the lightning. It is something to have been.
*sigh* Isn't that WONDERful???? And the best part is, it really reflects the way I've been feeling lately. (That's a good thing. :p) I mean, I really have been thinking that way for the last few days. (Well, not the parts about forgotten faces, etc. But the basic idea.) Okay, Devi wants her computer back now. ^_^
*muah*!!!!!!!!!

Well. Okay, so many people are unhappy with me at the moment. I'm not happy with me either. But that's not the point. The point is this: I AM SORRY. I love you all. :-I went to the White Stripes concert last night. Sooooo cool! I LOVE them. Sooo much!!!
Now that I've gone to one concert, I'm awaiting my next one. The Strokes are playing soon, I think in SF. And the VelvetTeen is playing locally soon too.
Okay, gotta go, lunch with Tristan is approaching. So, I must get dressed. ^_^
*muah*!
(i really am sorry)

What ho, amiable vulpines? (hehehe) My school day was so wonderfully short! And I think I am starting to understand my physics! yay! ^_^
Oh my gosh! I just looked at Devika's away message (I look at people's away messages when I'm bored sometimes...yes, I know, I need a life) and saw the COOLEST quote. I mean, it really made me feel...different after I read it. I don't know why, maybe it's just because of where I am in my life right now. *shrugs* I have recorded it here for posterity:
"All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost,
The old tht is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost,
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring
Renewed shall be the blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king."
*sighs dreamily* I love it. Who is it by, Devika??? Pleeeeeease tell me!! (I must add: Poems are Devika's "thing" not mine.)
All righty, I'm off. [Sparky: I really really really miss you!!! :(]
I'll talk to you all later!
*muah*!!!!

Good afternoon! ^_^ And how are all of you on this FINE afternoon? I sure hope you're all WONDERful!!!!
Irish was so cool today. I'm so glad I'm taking this class. I mean, it's a hard class, but still, it makes me happy. :) hehe
I heard the most beautiful song in that class, and I am going to force you to read the first and last verses + the chorus. muahahaha
Ná habair m’ainm
leis an bhean a labharfaidh
i’m dhiaidh i do chluais.
A bhéarfaidh aniar chughat
gealach is grian mar dhuais.
Ná habair gur seana-scéal é sin
a chuala tú uaim fadó.
Éist do bhéal
Éist do bhéal is bí ciúin
don chéad uair i do shaol
bí ciúin, is éist do bhéal
do bhéilín bán, éist do bhéal.
Má chíonn tú i mbrionglóid
mé ag siúl cois toinne
lem’ stuafhear rua
gan fáinne ar mhéar
gan scáil ar ár gcraiceann gan smál.
Ná habair gur seana-scéal é sin
a chuala tú uaim fadó.
It sounds so beautiful in Irish. It's not quite as cool in English, so you don't get a translation. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! There's another verse between those two, but it's kinda weird, so I won't include it here. hehehe *sigh* I'm so mean. Hmmm....I hope the accents turn out right...I don't want any weird symbols in my post...oh well.
You know, it's horrible. The only homework I want to do is my Irish homework. I never get anything else done. *sigh*
Speaking of homework. I need to send an email to my Irish prof, so I'll post again soon. I promise! ^_^

Hey people! Kristina, Emer, you guys threw a great party!! Woohoo!
Yeah, so, this weekend sucked ass.
I know y'all think it helps, but please stop blaming him? Sorry, I'm just not angry with him. This is not totally his fault. I definitely had a hand in it...quite a large hand...actually, the size resembled one those #1 hands they sell at baseball games...*sigh* Right then.
You know, I realized that I give one answer when asked how I am: "I'm okay." The sky could be falling and I would say, "I'm okay."
Now for the fun stuff!
I have GOALS people. Real, live goals. ;) I will:
-get out more and meet new people.
-attempt to get better about doing my homework BEFORe the last minute
-try to forgive myself for my sins
-most important: I will spend the rest of my friendships with people trying to make up for those sins. :(
I love my friends. They are the best in the world.

Report from the dorms:
Currently Deutch is rather quiet. Devi ran to the bathroom, so here I am trying to amuse myself. We're watching Alex & Emma. It's pretty cute so far. Amazing, I believe I've found a Kate Hudson movie that I actually enjoy!!! *awed*
Luke Wilson is so cool. (That had to be said.)
Well, Devi will be back soon I hope. So, I should post and be on my way. ^_^
*muah* *muah*

Eric: I am terribly sorry that I dropped math. I assure you that I will be taking math 53 next semester; at which time Ankush will be taking it with me! Yay!
I really need to relax this weekend. I have been very high strung lately. Not that I am apologizing for some of the things I've done. Some things just have to be done...
God, I have so much on my mind right now.*sigh* I need to think things through before I make any rash moves. I just need to keep telling myself that. *looks serious*
Whoa! That's just a little too serious for MY blog...
So, you like the red dress, do you Ankush? *big wink*
I have great plans for that dress...*grin* I wonder what would happen if people saw me in it...hehehe I wonder if anyone would be shocked. teehee *giggles into hand*
I want an excuse to wear it! *grumble*
Things to do tonight:
1) stop acting stupid
2) take a shower
3) sleeeeeeeeeeep
4) hang out with devika, danica, and ankush
Not in that specific order. ^_^

Don't you hate it when you do something that makes you look really stupid? All because you were misinformed?? *bangs head on table*
Oh well. *sigh*
So, now that I have decided to drop math, I feel so much less stressed. It's really rather amazing! I think I'm going to add an Earth and Planetary Sciences class to fill up the necessary units. I don't know yet though.
Okay, it's late. I just wanted to fill everyone in! ^_^
*muah*!
