Song of the moment: Quiet by John Mayer


Lyrics to "Quiet" by John Mayer


midnight
lock all the doors
and turn out the lights
feels like the end of the world
this Sunday night


there's not a sound
outside the snow's coming down
and somehow I can't seem to find
the quiet inside my mind


3:02
the space in this room
has turned on me
and all my fears have cornered me here
me and my TV screen


the volume's down
blue lights are dancing around
and still, I can't seem to find
the quiet inside my mind


daylight is climbing the walls
cars start and feet walk the halls
the world awakes and now I am safe
at least by the light of day

Girl in a strange new world...

Mmm... school is fun. Reading is fun. Writing and math are fun. Drama is fun. Art is fun. Hell, even Cisco Networking is fun.


Wow. This is a wierd feeling... I have been feeling happy for the longest time without a single suicidal thought or feeling of depression. It feels great to have things to do, not being a lazy ass, and actually having honor in what I am doing.


Life is wonderful.


Anywho, today was pretty great. I'm tired because I've had a busy day, not tired because I've been lazy sitting on my ass in front of the t.v. all day. After school, I took the bus over to Cabrillo College for my Speed Reading and Comprehension class. The teacher, Pat Camarillo, seems really nice. She's really cool about tardies and absenses, in fact, she's actually giving us FOUR free absenses just for the fun of it. She told the class that "Read 52" was the hardest reading class offered to Cabrillo, next to this one reading class that actually teaches people that want to TEACH OTHER PEOPLE how to speed read. Hearing her say that made the class sound all hard, and some people got intimidated (as did I), yet the more she talked about the diffuculty of the class, the more I got excited. I mean, I'm just taking that class for fun and I can drop it anytime if I want, but I have a feeling that I will be sticking to it to the very end and possible double [or triple, if that's possible] my reading and comprehension skills. It's really good for school and just for recreational reading. Soooo fun. ;D


After the class, I went over to the library to do my Analysis homework, which took me about 30 minutes to do. Afterwards, I went over to the cafeteria and ate a pasta salad, washed down with a nice hot cup of french vanilla cappuccino, all while I was reading the book, Odd Girl Out. I'm already past the halfway mark of the book, and I've only been reading it for like two days now. Reading and writing is so fun. More people should do it as a recreation/hobby, instead of as a chore. Its very awarding when you finish a book and you know you did it by choice, not by force. It's even better when you absolutely FALL IN LOVE with that book, reading it two or three more times afterwards. I went through this stage in Junior high when I just kept reading the same book over, and over, to a point when I could predict every single thing that was going to happen next, even memorized some of the lines in which most the characters speak. It wasn't the easiest book to read, either... must have been 11th-grade level, but I just fell in love with it and even 'til today, it still stands as one of my all-time favorites.


GOD DAMN my mom is so senile. She just walked into the room and asked me if I had eaten. I asked her, "Why, what are you cooking?" Her: "Luncheon meat" Me: "What the hell, I told you I wasn't going to eat meat anymore *gets bitter*" Her: "Ahh, whatever. *walks out*" Damnit. I felt like throwing a fucking brick at her fucking idiot face. Garrr. [Shit I can feel myself starting to PMS again... hahahahahaha. Being a girl is cool since I can basically blame everything on PMS. Good times.]


I should go review over my Italian notes/textbook. Afterwards, I'll read more of my book and fall asleep. Wheeeee. ^.^
