preface: i've had seven hours of free time today.
i've been listening to set fire to the rain, by adele 12 times in a row. 12 times 4 is 48. almost an entire unproductive hour of one song. and i'm still going strong.
i set fire to the rain, watch it burn as i touched your face. well, it burned when i cried cause i heard it screaming out your name. your name.
i'm sitting in my bed staring blankly at the mobile filled with high school "photography," handing in the corner across from me. i'm trying my best to coerce myself into writing my technical writing assignment that's due tomorrow, as the mobile slowly rotates due to the vent to it's right. the pictures are going in an unsure clockwise motion. they seem like they don't know how to move uniformly because they keep bumping into each other. kinda like people do when you put a bunch of them in a group and don't tell them which way to go but tell them they need to get there soon. every so often i blow as hard as i can to the left of it, just to see if i can make a bigger impact on them than the vent. i can't. that feels like a metaphor but i've been trying to do academic writing for so long today i can't be bothered to break it down.
and i threw us into the flames, when we fell, something died, cause i knew that, that was the last time... the last time.
i've eaten nearly all the easter candy from my mother-sent care package. i never thought i was a stress eater, and then i got stressed. and now the candy is almost gone. my teeth are coated in bubble gum residue and my tongue tastes like a mixture of stale and chocolate.
i just spent twenty minutes writing and revising this. twenty minutes i could have been working on that school assignment that's due tomorrow. or i could have been reading; i have a book, one that i really want to read, and it's due back at the library tomorrow. i still have almost two hundred pages to go. lists and lists of things undone.
seven hours. that's longer than one day of high school. i set fire...ridiculous.

wow, way to much thinking...just get the assignment done. nice writing though!
haha thanks mom, sometimes you just have to start writing to get the creative juices flowing, ya know? even if it doesn't seem to be related to your assignment- such as a blog post.
so, i know you want to help me to make my blog not look so gay. I've been blogging for over a year now. and i still haven't gotten what i wanted. In fact, I'm getting farther and farther off. Please help? Yours is fantastic. as are you. :)
ooh kiri, your blog is far from "gay" make a brainstorm list thing of what you want your blog to be, or look like aaand we'll go from there? you've just got to find your style.
you are a god send.
