So I thought it would be fun to just post lyrics to Alanis' song 21 Things I Want In A Lover and see which of the 21 questions I'd also ask. It's mostly because I have this one verse stuck in my head and can't get it out lol

21 Things I Want In A Lover


do you derive joy when someone else succeeds?
do you not play dirty when engaged in competition?
do you have a big intellectual capacity but know that it alone does not equate wisdom?
do you see everything as an illusion? but enjoy it even though you are not of it?
are you both masculine and feminine? politically aware? and don't believe in capital punishment?

these are 21 things that I want in a lover
not necessarily needs but qualities that I prefer

do you derive joy from diving in and seeing that loving someone can actually feel like freedom?
are you funny? à la self-deprecating? like adventure? and have many formed opinions?

these are 21 things that I want in a lover
not necessarily needs but qualities that I prefer
I figure I can describe it since I have a choice in the matter
these are 21 things I choose to choose in a lover

I'm in no hurry I could wait forever
I'm in no rush cuz I like being solo
there are no worries and certainly no pressure
in the meantime I'll live like there's no tomorrow

are you uninhibited in bed? more than three times a week? up for being experimental?
are you athletic? are you thriving in a job that helps your brother? are you not addicted?

...curious and communicative...

I'm not even sure if that's 21 Things, but it was fun anyway to see if other's wanting to comment :P

so i think i'm comming home for spring break. Plan accordingly. And new pic of my hair.

As some of you may know, I'm in a Creative Writing workshop and have been working on a short story. I recently completed the first draft and wanted to share it with those who have a few minutes to read. Any feed back would be amazing!

I'm going down to Orlando to meet up with some friends, I'm leaving here Friday afternoon and should be back Saturday evening or night. So the only way to contact me will be by phone, I won't be taking along my laptop. For those of you who need my number, just IM before I leave.

i was going to start a new way of posting tonight but guests came over and i drank so that'll have to wait llolol

I've started to dislike LJ more and more lately, mostly because of the premise of it all. It seems to me to be the biggest excuse for attenion whoring and drama. Though, I guess I understand the need for drama and attention whoring once in a while, and it is useful for informing people of things, but it's not really a great JOURNAL. For private stuff. I know there's an option to keep things private, but why are there comments ans screenings and adding of friends... I've had an aching to just write something private just to get it out, but I find randomly scibbling my thoughts on a restaurant napkin more fulfiling and less nerve wracking than posting something on LJ. I started this post, as well as lots of other posts, with the intent of this being a journal like entry. But then, those thoughts come to mind... am I in need of attention? Do I want to start drama? It makes me reconsider ever posting anything of meaning besides random life updates, like not being able to use my cell phone or going away for a while, or some random stuff, because what will everyone knowing what I'm feeling that I wouldn't normally say in person do? In the end, whether it's writing or typing, that journaling anything for the sake of writing my thoughts down doesn't serve much of a purpose. I used to carry a journal and write in it everyday, but after a while, it's was just, like, what is there to say? Or, what's the meaning of just writing my thoughts into a book that no one but myself will ever see? It was like having an imaginary friend to share secrets with, it was childish, and never spoke back.

Not like it's a big surprise to those who know I almost never update, but I don't think I can ever really update a lot in LJ. I do drop in and see if anyone else posts anything of interest, but that's as much as LJ can do for me. I'm going to try to find some other way to release what I feel inside and actually make something of it.

This was completely pointless, wasn't it lol

There are times I just want to get everything off of my chest. But at the same time, I don't want to burden other people for their sympathy. I would scream out everything if I didn't sound like a scorned child. There are things nobody has an answer for, so I'm accepting it.
