I love you dearly, but it’s sort of weird and offensive when you call some of my close friends stupid. I don’t know what to say to it, I know them better than you so I know that you’re wrong, but it still hurts to hear you say it, since I look up to you so much.
He’s not dumb. He’s got a great mindset that makes him who he is, and although he says stupid things,...

"My favorite part of going to these things
Is seeing you guys here becoming music educators, doing what we do.” — my high school choir director I ran into today.
And it’s true. Imagine teaching your students to love music, then watching them turn to others to share and teach them to love music as well. I guess it’s just that sense of pride and happiness, that warm-fuzzy-feeling that just makes our jobs worth...

Back
In New Jersey. It feels nice to be in a home rather than a dorm, even if it isn’t my own home. The moment I walked into this house, I got this very warm and cozy feeling. That’s the kind of house I want when I settle down. This house screams adorable.
Random fact: I totally forgot to ask to iron my pants, so my pants are unbelievably wrinkled and I’m going to make an awful...

Distance makes the heart grow fonder.
No but really. I miss my friends back home so much, it just makes me realize how much I love them. It’s times like these where we would all congregate in my basement, share couches and comforters, tubs of ice cream, and watch movies until we all fell asleep.
But I know that once I’m home, I’m going to miss all my friends here as well. It’s a good feeling, despite all of...

It's finally over.
I can put the Martinu flute sonata to rest and start the Poulenc. Shit’s gonna get real.
Friends shift, I guess. I always try and predict things, and that’s the first mistake I made. I came here thinking I knew what was going to happen, but here I am, people fading and shining. I don’t know how I feel about it all. I’m pretty happy, exhausted, and anxious. Yeah. ...
Late night thoughts again.
Four of my very good friends here have been in relationships for years and are currently in LDRs. They’re all happy and I can bet money that all of them will get married to their current significant others in the future. I’ve seen 3 out of the 4 of them together (and I don’t even need to see the 4th one to be sure) and it’s insane. I look at them together, and I just...

Opera Festival T-Shirt
Smile, because it’s sunny out. It’s a great combination of sunny and brisk. Smile because I’m wearing a very comfortable shirt, a shirt I got from a place where I experienced some very memorable moments which included singing with lace on my head, making the harmonies because there were only two other altos to sing out the thirty sopranos, wearing a ridiculous dress that...

Songs I will sing my children to sleep with:
Dream a Little Dream of Me
Moon River
Circle of 5th progression with solfege (starting on a different note each day)
All I Do (ballad version)
Goodnight My Someone
This will require me to learn either the soprano uke or guitar. Summer 2012, let’s goooooooo….
But anyway, I’m so excited for this week. Granted, I have piano exams and a keyboard (theory) hearing I’m...

Floor program 7-10pm
Smoothies and Despicable Me. I am going to regret this very much.
Things I will also regret: running to Whalen without a jacket after semi-recovering from a cold. Not practicing voice.
By the waysides, NyQuil is freaking fantastic.
Raspberry and Mango smoothie, coming up…
My RA is a badass.
And lastly, I FaceTimed with my sister and extended family today. I forgot how much I loved...

With so much
Homework to do, all I want to do is get off campus.
I just feel so alone right now, it’s insane. I wanted to catch breakfast a little earlier and there was only one person I knew I wanted to call and ask. But I couldn’t. I hate how I can see your dorm from here, I hate how I can see your high school from here. I hate how I’m living in this place you call home. But I’m...
13 hours of sleep.
Skipped movie night, skipped practicing. On the upside, I think I feel better, but I’m still unhappy. So much homework and practicing to do, and my weekend was wasted on a sickness rather than spent with my best friends. But I guess there are still many other weekends to go.
I value your opinion, I go to you for advice, you’re someone I can really trust and relate to here. But...

Overall, tonight was a great success, and that’s all I can really ask for.
Random thought: for being in such a liberal campus, I’ve managed to find more politically conservative people than liberal. And I love them to death, but I really do wish I had someone I shared the same views with. It’s times like these where I miss my friends back home, because I’m not afraid of...

Life is a runaway train you can't wait to jump on.
Already Gone - Sugarland
Last night at Evensong, we read John 15
“…Every branch of mine that bears no fruit, he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit…”
Because it hurts a little less as time goes on. When we hang out, it’s like nothing changed. Everything’s still fun, I just don’t expect anything...

So I thought
My direct deposit information was put in my Parnassus account. I go to check today (since my bank account is still pretty pitiful) and, lo and behold, my information isn’t there. I guess I’ll be broke for the rest of the month, whoopdedoodadayy.
But anyway, I’m doing alright.
Faking it is easer than I thought, and it’s not like I have time to stop and sulk like I did...
(500) Days of Summer
I’M TOM, I’M TOM, I’M FUCKING TOM!!
Because I'm tired
Of being right.
Because I see it all around me. It looks so damn easy. But it’s not. And this isn’t another post about me wondering if he likes me because, guess what Tumblr, I finally got an answer today.
I cried really hard today. I don’t want to be touched, I don’t want your sympathy. There are only certain people I really want to deal with right now. The others...

But really, I’m just spot on with my song choices for Class Voice.
I have a new wish for Valentine’s Day. My health. Please don’t let me get sick. I’ve been eating, sleeping, and attempting to stress less, I shouldn’t get...

Beatles on YouTube Repeat
Because I had a feeling the rest of the night was going to be awful. My hair tends to do that. But I pulled it into a ponytail and brushed it aside. It’s only awful if I let it be awful. So I went to dinner and tried to brush this nagging feeling aside. I went to practice and tried to focus. Along the way, things kept coming up that slowly confirmed that, yes, the rest of the night is...

All
I want tomorrow is a hug and a kiss and perhaps that CD you were supposed to make for me. But it has to mean something.
I think I’m just going to jump into my band sweatpants and my maroon Target v-neck tee tomorrow. I was going to wear dark wash jeans, boots, and a very nicely hand-knit maroon sweater, but something in me is saying “fuck this shit”, as you would probably say...

The view from the top is pretty fantastic.
Top of my dorm, that is.
Two days ago, the campus was barren. Today, I woke up to the brightness of my dorm. The snow makes everything brighter and more beautiful. It lightly coats over the campus and Cornell and the Commons and wherever else I can see from here and it’s absolutely lovely. I’m going to work in about an hour. I want to see you today. I pushed myself to have a...

As much as I try,
I can’t iron these damn wrinkles out of my pants.
In symbolism land, this would mean that no matter how much one can try, there are some things that just can’t be perfect.
I can’t complain. Lies. I can, but there are other things to consider before selfishly doing so. If you didn’t care, you wouldn’tve texted me. You wouldn’tve kept me updated, you...

Horoscope for February 6, 2012
“Your high anxiety fuels a stream of communication today that enables you to express what’s most important to you. However, you may feel frustrated if your job doesn’t give you some room to be creative in how you go about your work. Thankfully, you can maintain control over your imagination; in your fantasies you could travel anywhere you desire. Struggling to manifest your...
