Cosmic Colds

Yucky--I feel gut sick. BUT. But I've been on a musician-discovering streak...

Florence and the Machine (their song Cosmic Love is brilliant).
Death Cab for Cutie.
Owl City.
Neutral Milk Hotel.
Other miscellany songs.

Today we went to a book sale at a local library, and I stocked up on books for the next few months. Heaven must be like a library, as one wise man once said.

I've been on a Lord of the Rings icon kick...I've been knitting. I hosted a tea party. I made edible cookies. I volunteered. I read three books in three days. I managed to put off getting truly sick for a week.

As you see, I've been productive...sort of.

But then I procrastinated my school work. I am falling below my memorization quota each day because of chronic headaches. My arm is still strangely lumpy. I might have a semi-stalker. I just spell-checked, and apparently "miscellany" is a word.

And I'm having trouble remembering every-day things, like what people say to me or what I'm supposed to do (more than the average person does, anyway, and this is not like me).

My piano lessons are progressing, even without a proper practice book. I may not be learning any songs, doggone it, but my scales and keys are killer. Now all I need is a regular piano (or a fishy friend with a new one :D).

All right.

Do you know, I'm fond of this blog. There's nothing like anonymity for a deep cleansing.

A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes
I screamed aloud, as it tore through them, and now it's left me blind

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat
I tried to find the sound
But then it stopped, and I was in the darkness,
So darkness I became

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

I took the stars from our eyes, and then I made a map
And knew that somehow I could find my way back
Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too
So I stayed in the darkness with you

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart
