it's the peaceful times i sometimes think i treasure the most. right now i couldnt be happier. i'm sitting in my comfortably messy room with nice anna nalick songs playing from my laptop, blissfully ignoring the econnect junk i have yet to start doing. it's cold, but not too cold tonight. cold enough to wear hideous aquamarine pajama pants my auntie forced upon me some years ago (with wear and tear, these pants have become fuzzy and baggy and they feel like heaven) instead of shorts. there're stars tonight. well, star. my curtains are open and i can see just one twinkly thing. i thought it was an aeroplane initially, but i stared at it for awhile and realised it remained in the same place, something planes don't have a tendency to do. i wished on it! it's been awhile since i wished on a star. it's slightly dubious that my wish would actually happen, but you never know until you try right?
actually i realise i told a lie. i could be happier. but i'll settle for this(:
in other news, my mother has taken a liking to my acjc shorts and is currently parading around the living room in them. i'm not sure if moms are ALLOWED to wear fbts, but apparently mine disregards all fashion rules and wears them anyway. you go, girl.

2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake,
"Can you help me unravel my latest mistake?,
I don't love him. Winter just wasn't my season"
Yeah we walk through the doors, so accusing their eyes
Like they have any right at all to criticize,
Hypocrites. You're all here for the very same reason
'Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button, girl.
So cradle your head in your hands
And breathe... just breathe,
Oh breathe, just breathe
May he turned 21 on the base at Fort Bliss
"Just a day" he said down to the flask in his fist,
"Ain't been sober, since maybe October of last year."
Here in town you can tell he's been down for a while,
But, my God, it's so beautiful when the boy smiles,
Wanna hold him. Maybe I'll just sing about it.
Cause you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table.
No one can find the rewind button, boys,
So cradle your head in your hands,
And breathe... just breathe,Oh breathe, just breathe
There's a light at each end of this tunnel,
You shout 'cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out
And these mistakes you've made, you'll just make them again
If you only try turning around.
2 AM and I'm still awake, writing a song
If I get it all down on paper, it's no longer inside of me,
Threatening the life it belongs to
And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd
Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud
And I know that you'll use them, however you want to
But you can't jump the track, we're like cars on a cable,
And life's like an hourglass, glued to the table
No one can find the rewind button now
Sing it if you understand.
and breathe, just breathe
