wondering...again

it's a long story...they frequently are. i don't even really understand it, yet. who knows if i ever will, or if this story, like others will just fade into a shadow. it probably will. it lacks a satisfying conclusion, but, like the "lady and the tiger" story that has puzzled and annoyed me for years, i'm not sure what about exactly what conclusion could possibly satisfy me.

the questions i'm left with are:

is all of life really this dramatic?


or is it just me...again?

Just thought I'd let you know - I have been saving my comics that appear in the paper, and cutting them out. When I collect a nice-size wad, I'll be snail-mailing them to you.

i've been wondering about that...i have this lovely space of wall right next to my bed that i've been saving for those...it currently looks rather bare and lonely, so hurry up! ;-)

That's the way it goes, you know
Time rushes past us, little it regards
And answers escape us like the sparrow
the crap falls on us like a house of cards
If we even have good ones in the fist place
Because everyone gets a chance to be nobody
But if only we could suspend ourselves above it all
Not have to account for broken melody
I'm sure we'd all find a purpose in it
If we could only sit with him and abide
Not my will, but Thine be done
And falling on Your strength, I'll confide

Here's to a good friend,

Ryan

We speak in riddles when we have something we want to say, but can't allow it to be said... I have my own long stories at the moment, none of which can be published on the internet. So I lament in lapses of poesy and snatches of melody. I, too, need your e-mail address, because the one I tried to e-mail you at bounced my messages back.

Yaaaaaaaa! You totally quoted that poem I wrote!!! I salute you, sir Dragonslayer.

Sam, I love how your comment appeared at 3 am. Your college life is something I need to emulate. I'm still crashing by 1.

emily.rose@juno.com still works, everyone.

As a p.s. to this post, I read this in a play for theatre class, and it did serve as somewhat of an inspiration.

I dunno that you want to be emulating my college life unless you want to start seeing your grades slip... oh and i think an unnamed person named Anna gave me your wrong e-mail address, that's why it bounced back. I'll send you all the creative output that has been backed up in the resevoir of not having your e-mail.

I am never wrong! Reality just sometimes refuses to accept my statements of obvious truth. Reality is so smug.

At the moment, Sam, my grades can't get much worse! I have given up on being a perfectionist, because, alas, even with all the hours of studying I am putting in, and as smart as some people tell me I am, I have much room to improve. Gah! Such comes when one decides to attend the 19th hardest school in the country, I suppose...
Why didn't I choose to go to a stupid state sch...er. never mind ;-) *ducks*

G! You posted on my blog!
Wow, man, YOU'RE the one with the free nights and weekends. You should be calling ME! I had to give up my dear matching-to-yours, yet-so-much-infinitely-cooler cell phone, remember??

I'm glad that you read my blog, and I'm praying for you guys! Take good care of your 3 students, k? Or are the numbers up, yet?

lots of love and care to all,
Em*
