Corn

So, I'm not sleeping tonight. Not by choice. I think I would if I could. It is a result of some combination of messed up sleep schedule and several hundred mgs of caffeine throughout the day. I've been wedding planning in my head and on paper some, played some scrabble on my phone, and did attempt to sleep. In my head, for some reason, I started going through what food I have. I decided I was hungry, and that I haven't had sufficient veggies lately, and so landed, mentally, on the frozen corn in the recesses of my freezer. I thawed out some corn that my mother gave me many years ago - I've been making my way through it slowly - and added some spice. And so, here I sit, enjoying my spicy, July of 2008 corn, at 4am.

You By My Side

I want to do things with you
That I want to do with other people
I mean that generally

I want to get drunk; be stupid;
Stay up all night; laugh; joke;
Converse; go out in the wee morning;

I'm not ready to be mature again
I want to feel college; feel young
I do want to do it all with you by my side

A Quick Note

I like pillows, walls, cold air, and blankets
I like flowers, freshly picked
and clear water in which they stand

You & I

Office Space and Little Miss Sunshine
Ben Kweller and coffee shops
The shortest bridge in Bowling Green
- (that should belong only us)
Kisses in the rain & on the picnic table
...every where we can.
Pennies on the train track
Plans: skipping town & visiting Paris
September 5th; I know what that is!
September 14th ...I remember that one too.
Longest time apart: four days
...next time 2 weeks (I couldn't take it!)
Albino Squirrels and Lions that are King
Swinging
(Zenon, Shawna, and other strange People)
Holding hands.
Being cute and gross.

Flighty

Nails are wet
Can't be still
Always moving
Stay busy
(Can I ever not mess one up?)

I Think Too Fast

I may have slipped
I may have fallen
Maybe I shouldn't have said
But (I think) I love you.

Last Saturday Night

I don't need a guy.
Really, I don't even want one,
Or at least I didn't...
But guess who met me last Saturday night!?
Thats right!

He met me out back the store last Saturday night.
I stepped out and before I knew it
he had his arms around me.
Now that was the last thing that I expected
...from anyone at this point.
So, you see, he about got himself smacked,
but I realized who had me.
How sweet a soul.

We had dinner that night,
and went for a stroll.
It was the last thing I would have planned,
but he had surprised me.

The last thing I would have expected
Turned into one of the greatest
...of all time.
When he surprised me with that ring,
last Saturday night.

Purple Like My Room

Purple like my room,
I sit down to paint my fingers
and toes too,
Paint them both, purple, like my room.
Looking in the mirror,
"Mom can I get my hair tipped in purple,
purple, like my room?"
