California boy meets D.C. world

Robert Pattinson: “If you find a girl who reads, keep her close. When you find her up at 2 AM clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her a cup of tea and hold her. You may lose her for a couple of hours but she will always come back to you. She’ll talk as if the characters in the book are real, because for a while, they always are. Date a girl who reads because you deserve it. You deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable. If you can only give her monotony, and stale hours and half-baked proposals, then you’re better off alone. If you want the world and the worlds beyond it, date a girl who reads.”

this is literally my favorite quote. ever.

My new dance kicks.

There I was again tonight

Forcing laughter, faking smiles

Same old tired, lonely place

Walls of insincerity

Shifting eyes and vacancy

Vanished when I saw your face

All I can say is it was enchanting to meet you

Your eyes whispered “Have we met?”

Across the room your silhouette

Starts to make its way to me

The playful conversation starts

Counter all your quick remarks

Like passing notes in secrecy

And it was enchanting to meet you

All I can say is I was enchanted to meet you

This night is sparkling, don’t you let it go

I’m wonderstruck, blushing all the way home

I’ll spend forever wondering if you knew

I was enchanted to meet you

The lingering question kept me up

2 AM, who do you love?

I wonder ‘til I’m wide awake

And now I’m pacing back and forth

Wishing you were at my door

I’d open up and you would say

It was enchanting to meet you

All I know is I was enchanted to meet you

This night is sparkling, don’t you let it go

I’m wonderstruck, blushing all the way home

I’ll spend forever wondering if you knew

This night is flawless, don’t you let it go

I’m wonderstruck, dancing around all alone

I’ll spend forever wondering if you knew

I was enchanted to meet you

This is me praying that

This was the very first page

Not where the story line ends

My thoughts will echo your name

Until I see you again

These are the words I held back

As I was leaving too soon

I was enchanted to meet you

Please don’t be in love with someone else

Please don’t have somebody waiting on you

Please don’t be in love with someone else

Please don’t have somebody waiting on you

This night is sparkling, don’t you let it go

I’m wonder-struck, blushing all the way home

I’ll spend forever wondering if you knew

This night is flawless, don’t you let it go

I’m wonder-struck, dancing around all alone

I’ll spend forever wondering if you know

I was enchanted to meet you

Please don’t be in love with someone else

Please don’t have somebody waiting on you

Woke up today in casts of blue
unheld but stay pretending we’ll get better over time
the bars and chains are old but new
I got away still under you

so please don’t make more promises to me
and please don’t take everything from me
and i will breathe in every word you mean
if you could please promise them to me

ah ah

fell on my way to get it through
collect the days to bend things so its better over time
hung up on all the shades and hues
always the same still under you.

so please don’t make more promises to me
and please don’t take everything from me
and i will breathe in every word you mean
if you could please promise them to me

ee-yeah

perfect song to represent me right now.

“In a man’s letters his soul lies naked.”

Yes indeed, that is Hello Kitty stationary. Only the manliest of men write on Sanrio papers.

“The oak sleeps in the acorn, the bird waits in the egg,
and in the highest vision of the soul, a waking angel stirs.”

Ironic that this is a gift from a bird-eater. :)

“In the darkest hour the soul is replenished and given strength to continue and endure.”

Okay so, beer, book and beautiful day on my backyard deck doesn’t really count as my darkest hour, but it does replenish my soul :)

“Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.”

This old dude must have a lot of soul to rock Dr. Dre’s Beats Headphones ($300 retail)
