i think i'm becoming an insomniac. no, nocturnal. i missed my chance to go to bed when i was sleepy at 10 and now it's 2 and i'm ready to get in the car and drive. i would kill to have someone be awake and sneak out with me and go far away and talk until light. i'm feeling very chattery right now. rar.

"when it rains, it pours." bring the grand total to: 4. i don't think this means anything to anyone but me.

everything screams italy lately. i think it's a sign from god - i mean, it's not a coincidence that the vatican's in rome; the man obviously loves that country. i met an italian on campus this week and today went to the orientation for the kids who are leaving for florence this spring. squeezed between two of my best friends from the trip, complaining about how one takes a bus, train and cab to get from the milano airport to firenze, gushing about getting lost on cobblestone streets in the rain, i just sort of paused and gaped at my own life. lately i've been going through phases of mundane, thinking my life here is the picture of nondescript; but i know what those things are like, so how can it be?

i'm being weirder than usual tonight because finishing off all the unexpectedness of this week, i just read my (hot) friend's web diary and remembered being given a rose once in italy. a few weeks ago i said that i was just looking for a napping partner. rather, i'm looking for someone to shock me because i'm wanting life to shock me again. i once told someone that i was living the four slowest months of my life, but that it was good because even when i wasn't happy the pain was so sharp that i was grateful to know i could feel like that. there's something wrong with my life here; it's too busy to admit much feeling.

i don't like missing another place because when i was there i was just missing here. and sometimes i get scared, because i'm willingly trying to put myself back in that place where i got lonely and felt like nobody understood. it was hard and sometimes i hated it. but i was speaking and thinking in another language; i was sleeping on trains to paris; someone was writing poems for me; there was quiet and i was writing and loving music and reading.

weird to wonder where you are your real self.

Which Disney Princess are you?

hooray disney princess quiz. let me know who you were.

...

topic of discussion for the day:

can girls really pursue boys?

i'm very much confused by this. boys say they want it yet seemed turned off by it ("i assume she's not good enough if she has to come after me") and a lot of girls seem to think it's downright distasteful. just curious if anyone wanted to weigh in.
