"One Day Up Near Salina, Lord, I Let Him Slip Away..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

Heyyy. That's what being happy feels like. I had totally forgotten.

The girl and I talked, and I was right. But it's okay; things are actually more comfortable between us now, so I think that's a good thing, I'm really glad it worked out. We're also still exchanging Valentine's gifts because we'd already bought them at this point. XD Which is a little silly but honestly "a little silly" has been in my file for years.

To-day we're walking down to the plant shop and buy cacti, because really. We've been planning to do this for-ever, just not got around to it. Last night I fell asleep in her room in the chair, meaning that there was a total of four people in a room meant for two--me, her, her roommate, and her roommate's boyfriend, totally not awkward at all, except that is a lie. You know.

I have so many things to write, I am trying to pretend I don't have to think about that, but at least I got my sosh writeup done, so all I really have to do for homework is finish the last of my o.chem problems and I think I am finally starting to understand stoichiometry so that's all right (stoichiometry: time-consuming. I think this is really the whole idea behind it. HOW TO MAKE MATHS EQUATIONS AS LONG AS POSSIBLE). The scars on my arms are healing up, that's good. I'm happy about that.

Also it's just a beautiful day, I mean it is an absolutely gorgeous day, oddly warm and full of half-light, and I'm at the library right now and Michelle is sitting on a chair near me reading a book about Federico Garcia Lorqa and giggling periodically, and the sun catches her hair all pretty through the blinds (she has--seriously--golden hair, it is a little awe-inspiring sometimes).

I haven't properly eaten to-day (again), I haven't had my meds, I have study groups to-night and all kinds of things I don't want to do, to-morrow the week starts again and I feel underprepared and rushed and busy, but at the moment I also feel like there is a small center of peace in me, like a lump of hot pull taffy under my breastbone, quiet and round and malleable and warm, and that's a good feeling, one I haven't felt in a while and a very good feeling.

"History regards him as this tragic figure, but he really had so much fun. He was the life of the party. When he arrived at a party, his friend would yell "Hey, Federico's here! Now we can go on a poetry bender!" He was a flamer, but he was one of those people you can't help but like to be around," the girl says.

Yeah.

Yay you!

Lorca <333333. Last year I learned that he and Dalí had kind of a UST thing going on, and so they are my OTP.

And hey, I'm glad that you're happy. :) The fact that it's nice out definitely helps, doesn't it.

[bewareofitalics]

There's going to be a movie about them!

[erinpuff]

Ooh! *Googles*

...ROBERT PATTINSON?? D: D: D:

[bewareofitalics]

Sparkles can be surreal!

[the-chloroplast.livejournal.com]

I MUST WATCH THIS. Oh, and it was...rather a lot more than a lust thing. The book has pictures of them together, and, um...yeah. While it never comes right out and SAYS anything, it's kind of obvious that they were (or wanted to)...do...things. And they are my OTP, too! Yays!

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Apparently it was a little more than "kind of a UST thing" in the sense that they were doing it. :P

<333 It really does. omg gorgeous weather.

[reconditarmonia.livejournal.com]

Did not Dali say something along the lines of (paraphrased) "That Lorca, he's always trying to get into my pants...I'm not interested and also ow, but I'm terribly flattered and maybe I owe it to him as a brilliant poet"?

Yay happiness!

Though she might want to stop reading about Lorca shortly if she wants it all to stay cheery.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

oh, no, she knows. She did her senior thesis on him. XD

[softerthansound.livejournal.com]

I love you so much. This entry is lovely, and I'm so, so glad you're feeling this way. ♥

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

♥! heart's princess.

[bewareofitalics]

*snerks* Oh, Lorca. Anyone who could write a tragedy that works as well as a comedy as Blood Wedding does must have been a barrel of laughs. ;)

*snuggles*

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

XD A very special man, by all accounts.

♥

[bewareofitalics]

Indeed. *g* What's the book, by the way?

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

Uh, it's just called Lorca. XD

[bewareofitalics]

...any idea who it's by? :D

[the-chloroplast.livejournal.com]

Lorca
A Dream of Life
Leslie Stainton

It is made of the amazings.

[bewareofitalics]

Many thanks! One of these days I should read more of his plays...

This "talking it over" thing should be a lesson to all of us: It's the right course of action! *scribbles it down in his classnotes*

I love this entry, much like everyone else.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

It was funny because I was thinking, God, what if I'm totally off the mark, but the minute I said it she was all "OH THANK GOD YOU SAID SOMETHING". So. Score one for talking it out.

<33 I love you.

[mhari.livejournal.com]

I miss you.

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

To a degree that probably wasn't fair.
