thank you.

I need to thank you for being there.
Thank you for making me who I am today.
Thank you for making my world go upside down.
Thank you for being you.
I love you.
:]
I want to be your princess.
I want to be your happy ending.
I want to be your dream come true.
Maybe not now.
Most likely later in life.
But one day,
One fantastic day in the future,
I will have my fairytale.
I will have my prince.
<3

Oblivious

You are so oblivious.
I'm falling head over heels,
for you of all people.
You're not a normal jock.
You listen to Frank Sinatra.
Yet you don't see me.
Not now,
maybe later.
You give me butterflies,
and I just wish you'd see.
What happened?
You used to be so sweet.
You used to be nice.
You used to help.
Now you're mean.
You're not sweet.
You have a horrible attitude all the time.
I miss the old you.
I wish you could see what you've become.
I'm tired of this.
of all the grey,
of all the white,
i want blue.
i want light.
no darkness.
no wetness.
no coldness.
but,
living in washington,
no one gets that.

using quotes to express myself.

Sometimes when I want to write, I'm stuck. I get writer's block. Well, guess what? Right now is one of those times. I can almost find a quote to express the way I'm feeling. These quotes are found in various places by the way. Sorry if it's a little long. :]

These years that I have been in love have been
the darkest days of my life. All because I've been
cursed by being in love with a man who does not
and will not love me back. Oh god, just the sight of him!
Heart pounding! Throat thickening! Absolutely can't swallow!
All the usual symptoms.

Whether I was in a slump or feeling badly or

seemingly are small jobs. Every time you
conquer one it makes you that much stronger.

tend to take care of themselves.

Every day, in every way,
I am getting better and better.
+ + Emile Coue

The first duty of love - is to listen. --Paul Tillich

I've been waiting my whole life for the right guy to come

along, and then you showed up. And you're nothing like

the man I imagined. You're cynical and cranky and

impossible. But the truth is fighting with you is the best

thing that's ever happened to me. And I think there's a

very good chance that I'm falling in love with you.

Birth Control.

So in my human development class, we are talking about different birth control methods.
Today we covered the history of birth control, and we also talked about some old methods.
They are crazy.
Here are some of those methods:

1. Weasel Testicles
2. Diaphragm: made out of crocodile poo
3. Beaver Testicles, with alcohol
4. Mercury
5. Diaphragms made out of gold and silver
6. Animal Intestines
7. Diaphragms of Opium
8. Lemons
9. Blacksmith Water
10. Coca-cola douche
11. Wood block pessary (sounds painful. What happened if you got a splinter up there?)
12. An actual sea sponge


I don't know about you,
but if those were my options, I'd rather not have sex than have one of those. A lot of those sound painful, unsafe, or plain disgusting.

Thoughts?
