Goo Goo Dolls Iris Video

I really love this video and song... it really does have great love lyrics.

Bleh.

What the heck are you supposed to do when the love of your life belongs to a religion where he's not allowed to date until he's seventeen? What kind of cruel world is this? That's not fair in any way. That's the kind of disappointment that makes you want to go die in a hole and burn up so no one can ever find you, or run away to Mars and never come back. That, my friend, is just another example of why nothing in my life ever works. Nothing can ever just work. There has to be some complicated drama and negotiation just to get the reaction you're looking for, and even then it doesn't work. I'm trying to be grateful for what I have, but sometimes it's just hard.

La la la

Tra la la la la! From the words of Bernie Taupin (in the song 'Your Song' by Elton John), "How wonderful life is, while you're in the world." Everyone's got a special someone, whether or not that someone knows that they're special to you. You know what I'm talking about: just seeing that person brightens up your day, when they're sad you want to wrap your arms around them and never ever let go, and when they're mad you want to go and punch whoever made them mad, and every time they talk to you you get butterflies and want to lean in and kiss them on the spot. But, unfortunately, in public middle school this can be a hard feat to carry out. Another beautiful thing: when your boyfriend sits with you and your table full of insane friends and doesn't seem too embarrassed. A hilarious and kind of awkward thing: your friend's boyfriend (who is your bestest guy buddy) who is sitting at your table at lunch sits between you and his girlfriend, but scooches up against you unintentionally because he's so nervous. Isn't that adorable? It's just like, Dude! Stop touching me! I'm not your girlfriend! But you have to give him props for trying to wait for his girlfriend after he finishes eating. Of course, because she's a slow eater he ended up leaving, but cute nonetheless.

Young Love

Ah, young love. It's beautiful, isn't it? I love being a match maker, and being happy for my friends when it comes along. This, by the way, is dedicated to Zookie, my favorite cute couple. Actually, it's my only cute couple. I love you both with a passion! But, Z-baby, if you break her heart, I will break your face. Now, if I can only get the adorable first chair percussionist to fall for me...
Later,
