I looked at Robbie's AIM that he has logged into his computer at home. It's been idle for 21 days. So he's been with me for three weeks?
It feels like we've already built a groove, a pattern, a life. We lay in bed in each other's arms. We go out to dinner and I look at him and I can't believe that he's mine. He looks so handsome and just goddamn gorgeous in his Alpine Stars leather jacket and hat, and he's all scruffy. And when I see girls staring at him, I don't get jealous, I feel happy. I feel smug. Like, look what I have. He's all mine and he loves me and I love him. And I feel like this is right. I feel like we're perfect and like we will be together forever. I know that I don't usually say stuff like this. I don't usually feel so confident in a relationship. And I specially do not make comments like that after living with someone for three weeks, but let me assure you, I've thought of many many reasons of why he should not be with me, and why we would not work out, and all those seem to have fallen in place or melted away since we've been together.
I can't imagine being without him anymore.
He's great with the dogs and he's hilarious. He makes me laugh and he makes me happy. He cheers me up, and he protects me. He keeps me safe and he is always there when I need him. He can almost read my mind, it's ridiculous. Okay, I'm getting gushy and sappy.
I can imagine myself marrying him, having kids, and growing old with him.

Winters warm where you and i
Kissing whiskey by the fire
With the snow outside
And when the summer comes
In the river
Swims at midnight
Shiver cold
Touch the bottom
You and I
With muddy toes
Stay or leave
I want you not to go
But you should
It was good as good goes
Stay or leave
I want you not to go
But you did
Wake up naked drinking coffee
Making plans to change the world
While the world is changing us
It was good good love
You used to laugh under the covers
Maybe not so often now
But the way I used to laugh with you
Was loud and hard
Stay or leave
I want you not to go
But you should
It was good as good goes
Stay or leave
I want you not to go
But you did
So what to do
With the rest of the day's afternoon hey
Isn't it strange how we change
Everything we did
Did I do all that i should
That I coulda done
Remember we used to dance
And everyone wanted to be
You and me
I want to be too
What day is this
Besides the day you left me
What day is this
Besides the day you went
So what to do
With the rest of the day's afternoon hey
Well isn't it strange how we change
Everything we did
Did I do all that I could
Remember we used to dance
And everyone wanted to be you and me
I want to be too
What day is this
Besides the day you went babe
What day is this
The Trip: This is the last Vox entry before the trip up to MSP. I proimse. I have a few things yet to do. I have to pick up my bedroom a bit and clean up the bathroom. I'm trying not to make myself anxious. I have to pack as well. Ugh. I hate last minute things, like packing and shit, because I always feel like I'm forgetting something. Oh well, it's only for a few days so I'm sure that I can get by with whatever it is I forget if I do forget something. I'm very excited and nervous at the same time. That whole "What if he doesn't like me?" thing, the whole "What if I'm not what he expected?" and at the same time I know he will and I hope that we have a good time. I don't feel like driving to MSP all by myself though. That's going to be annoying.
Catching signals that sound in the dark
Catching signals that sound in the dark
We will take off our clothes
And they'll be placing fingers through the notches in your spine
And then when all is breaking
Everything that you could keep inside
Now your eyes ain't moving now
They just lay there in their climb
Give it up for Two Headed Boy. The world's most upbeat/depressing song. I don't know why I was just listening to it. But I love this song. It always makes me feel depressed, but I still can't help but listen to it in it's entirity everytime it comes on my iPod.
I will take you and leave you alone. Watching spirals of white softly flow over your eyelids and all you did will wait until the point when you let go.
I bought new underwear that is so cute and fun. Definitely not anything sexy, but oh well! I also got two new bras, because I don't have any decent ones. Suckage.
Okay, now this is totally stupid. So ta ta for now. I will update you on the MSP Leg of our trip later on. :)

got up before dawn
went down to the racetrack.
riding with the windows down
shortly after your first heart attack.
you parked behind the paddock,
cracking asphalt underfoot,
coming up through the cracks
pale green things
pale green things
we watched the horses run their workouts.
you held your stopwatch in your left hand
and a racing form beneath your arm,
casting your gaze way out to no man's land.
sometimes I'll meet you out there
lonely and frightened.
flicking my tongue out at the wet leaves
pale green things
pale green things
my sister called at three a.m.
just last december.
she told me how you'd died at last, at last
and that morning at the race track was one thing I remembered.
I turned it over in my mind
like a living chinese finger trap.
seaweed and indiana sawgrass
pale green things
pale green things
This is currently my favourite song of this week.
Why? Why'd you do that?
You shouldn't have done that
If I told you once, I told you three times
You'll get your punishment when you
Show me your crimes
It's not a spell or a curse you put on me
Or the way you smile so tenderly
But how I wish it was your temper you were throwing
Damn you for being so easygoing
I thought that time would tell
My sins would provoke you to raise some hell
Not a chance
Whatever happened to fiery romance
Oh how I wish it was those dishes you were throwing
Damn you for being so easygoing
No, don't give me that line
Don't try to tell me inaction is not a crime
Can't you see what kind of seeds you're sowing?
Damn you for being so easygoing
This song reminds me of Rob and I... his idealistic hopes and dreams for our future, and my negativity and pessimistic attitude about EVERYTHING.
-------------------
Will someone please call a surgeon
Who can crack my ribs and repair this broken heart
That your're deserting for better company?
I can't accept that it's over...
I will block the door like a goalie tending the net
In the third quarter of a tied-game rivalry
So just say how to make it right
And i swear i'll do my best to comply
Tell me am i right to think that there could be nothing better
Than making you my bride and slowly growing old together
I feel must interject here you're getting carried away feeling sorry for yourself
With these revisions and gaps in history
So let me help you remember.
I've made charts and graphs that should finally make it clear.
I've prepared a lecture on why i have to leave
So please back away and let me go
I can't my darling i love you so...
Tell me am i right to think that there could be nothing better
Than making you my bride and slowly growing old together
Don't you feed me lines about some idealistic future
Your heart won't heal right if you keep tearing out the sutures
I admit that i have made mistakes and i swear
I'll never wrong you again
You've got a lure i can't deny,
But you've had your chance so say goodbye
Say goodbye
I had a falling out with this friend. And I'm not going to get so into it. But I'm bidding my farewells to Jed with the song that will forever remind me of him.
Was an honest man
Asked me for the phone
Tried to take control
Oh, I don't see it that way
I don't see it that way
Oh, we shared some ideas
All obsessed with fame
Says we're all the same
Oh, I don't see it that way
I don't see it that way
Raised in Carolina
"I'm not like that"
Trying to remind her
When we go back
I missed the last bus, I'll take the next train
I try but you see, it's hard to explain
I say the right things, but act the wrong way
I like it right here, but I cannot stay
I watch the TV; forget what I'm told
Well, I am too young, and they are too old
The joke is on you, this place is a zoo
"You're right it's true"
Says he can't decide
I shake my head to say
Everything's just great
Oh, I just can't remember
I just can't remember
Raised in Carolina, she says:
" I'm not like that"
Trying to remind her
When we go back
I say the right things but act the wrong way
I like it right here but I cannot stay
I watch the TV; forget what I'm told
Well, I am too young, and they are too old
Oh, man, can't you see I'm nervous, so please
Pretend to be nice, so I can be mean
I miss the last bus, we take the next train
I try but you see, it's hard to explain
On the morning when I woke up without you for the first time
I felt free and I felt lonely and I felt scared
And I began to talk to myself almost immediately
Not being used to being the only person there
The first time I made coffee for just myself, I made too much of it
But I drank it all just cause you hate it when I let things go to waste
And I wandered through the house like a little boy lost in the fall
And an astronaut could've seen the hunger in my eyes from space
And I sang
Oh, What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?
What do I do without you?
On the morning when I woke up without you for the first time
I was cold so I put on a sweater and I turned up the heat
And the walls began to close in and I felt so sad and freightened
I practically ran from the living room and into the street
And the wind began to blow and the trees began to pant
And the world in its cold way started coming alive
And I stood there like a buisness man waiting for the train
And I got ready for the future to arrive
And I sang
Oh, What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?
What do I do without you?
What song or lyrics are stuck in your head at the moment? What album is it from?

I am currently listening to the song "This Year" by The Mountain Goats. And I realize that the lyrics are very apropos. I just want to make it through this year if it kills me. It's from the album The Sunset Tree. I have really gotten into the Mountain Goats thanks to Rob. It's ridiculous, that crazy boy getting me into so much new stuff. If you check out my Last.Fm you'll see that they are my number 4 all time artist/band. :)
Lyrics:
I broke free on a saturday morning.
I put the pedal to the floor.
headed north on mills avenue,
and listened to the engine roar.
my broken house behind me and good things ahead,
a girl named cathy wants a little of my time.
six cylinders underneath the hood crashing and kicking,
ahhh listen to the engine whine.
I am going to make it through this year if it kills me.
I am going to make it through this year if it kills me.
I played video games in a drunken haze
I was seventeen years young.
hurt my knuckles punching the machines
the taste of scotch rich on my tongue.
and then cathy showed up and we hung out.
trading swigs from the bottle all bitter and clean
locking eyes, holding hands,
twin high maintenance machines.
I am going to make it through this year if it kills me.
I am going to make it through this year if it kills me.
I drove home in the california dusk.
I could feel the alcohol inside of me.
home.
picture the look on my stepfather's face,
ready for the bad things to come.
I downshifted as I pulled into the driveway.
the motor screaming out stuck in second gear.
the scene ends badly as you might imagine,
in a cavalcade of anger and fear.
there will be feasting and dancing in jerusalem next year.
I am going to make it through this year if it kills me.
I am going to make it through this year if it kills me.
