This place proclaims it's eloquence
It's elements -- divine.
A unique departure designed.
And by some mass mistake it is mine.
Why the fuck have I bound myself in my room again. I need to get out. |

When I was in 2nd grade, I had a crush on a girl named Angela.
Angela was sweet. And pretty. And fluent in Spanish. If only she were fluent in English, too. Her friend Maria had to translate for us.
Now we were never an item or anything. But I did look up her skirt every recess. Isn't that all there was to dating back then, anyway?
But this isn't about that. What I'm trying to say is, I want to learn Spanish.
I took French in high school.
Quand Est-ce que j'ai besoin parle francais?
(When am I ever going to need to speak French?)
That's probably not even correct. 3 years wasted.
My roommate, Matthias (from Kansas City) is fluent. He speaks to a lot of the guests that come through the Soup Kitchen (Chicago's a fairly large hub for Spanish speaking immigrants). Did I mention he's from Kansas City? And he's white. Now, I'm not exactly Hispanic, but I've been in San Antonio long enough to warrant the need. Sometimes I attempt to chime into conversations with the little Spanish I know. "Si" "Que Pasa?" "Hasta manana" Shit like that. Unfortunately, I end up feeling more embarassed when I try to explain that I don't know anymore than that -- "No no no. No habla Espangol."
I need to get on this shit. |

A tendered leaf,
A swollen root.

At my current velocity, I'll be 32, at home with my parents, and everyone's friend.
Too many voices. Need a little bit of silence. That's all. |

I like taking showers. Makes me feel like a new person.
They could, however, be much, much better.
Washing my hair is annoying. It's either stringy or matted. Strands fall out and get in my mouth. Sometimes I run out of shampoo or conditioner, and have to make due with the dime-sized droplet I've got left. Don't even get me started on drying it.
I come up with the best songs and ideas in the shower, which unfortunately are forgotten before I redrawn the curtain. I need a waterproof recorder. Not just a recorder, a badass sound system. Who wouldn't want to bass out while washing their ass? I want the porcelain tiles to jump off the walls.
Running out of hot water mid-session is a total buzzkill as well.
Unless you've got an olympic-sized stall, sex in the shower isn't nearly as fantastic as it might seem. Shuffling into a new position in an area fit for Mandela isn't the easiest task. Better have some towels handy, because chances are you've practically flooded your floor. Oh, and watch where you're grabbing; don't want to pull down the curtain rod.
At least we're past the days of warming your bathwater on the stove.
Sidenote 1: I really, really want to learn how to dance.
Sidenote 2: Tonight, I've obtained so much insight about my mom.
Sidenote 3: Lately, people have been so disposable. |

Too many of my conversations start like this:
Person: "[Standard greeting]. Mars. How are you?\How have you been?"
Me: "Fine\Good\Alright..."
After that, I start to lose interest in the conversation, because chances are I'm not doing just fine, good, or alright. I might be great (but I'd never say unless life has been unusually benign); I might be terrible (but I'd never tell anyone right away).
I don't know what I want. More than a networked group of acquaintances; that's for sure. I think I just miss the comfort of familiar faces, the ability to let loose.
Feel free to offer, but the opportunity has to create itself. I can't force that kind of connection. |

It's done.
I think I finally understand.
Fergie's primary appeal is not as a sex icon or pop artist, but rather as a role model. Don't let her ex-boyfriend Crystal Meth mar her innocence. She's only preparing her younger audience for the tough education that lies ahead of them. Glamorous, flossy, and tasty (that's T-A-S-T-E-Y for those that didn't know) are most definitely SAT words.
Making this world a better place, one lady lump at a time. |

Poor Little Fella'.
So I've gone back and read the 2 or 3 most recent posts on everyone's page. Excepting a few (Mostly ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) ninjaguydan ;] ), most are from 2005 and earlier. It's unnerving. Doesn't seem too long ago that the LiveJournal medium was thriving. Ah well. It's time to give MySpace a rest. I'd rather be addicted to blogging, anyhow.
Damn, I should've been studying for history. |

Recently, I've been trying to dismantle.
I've just now compiled a list in my head:
I am:
Fickle.
Made of ideas.
Fairly empathetic.
Amenable.
Hard-headed.
Self-critical.
Meticulous.
I'm not:
Aggressive.
Punctual.
Steadfast.
Picky.
Good at grasping change.
Complacent (anymore).
Incomplete, but more to come, maybe?
I can't exactly gauge its accuracy.
but then, who can? |
