11:55pm: a cookie monster
we made cookies for the holiday ball today... remind me agian why i do this kind of stuff?  it was fun, productive and really long.  i was way past doen with it by the time everyone left my house with a huge mess in the kitchen. next time we should either have it at someone else's house or people should stay to clean up because it took me an hour to clean the entire kitchen even with my sister decorating the rest of the cookies.  on a less annoyed hand, jaclyn gave me a lovely lavender and oatmeal bath thingy, tea and a card, and amy gave me a beautiful necklace made of citrine and silver.  its gorgeous, thank you, thank you! now i have to figure out presents and wrapping and sleep. becuase i haven't been getting enough of that (sarcastic, for once) 
i've got so much to do tomorrow! and none of it is particularly fun right now!
I WANT JOE TO COME BACK FROM HIS DAD'S slash i wish my parents weren't such old school monkfish!
  happy winter break!
also: solostice happenings? anyone wanna get drunk on elderberry wine and dance around a fire of epic proportions? not that i have either.

2:50am: ya know... i used to really hate the color red.  it was fear, hate, intensity, loudness, flamboyancy, insecurity.  i stuck with a boring blue as my favorite color.  not to say that blue is always boring, but everyone likes blue, its safe, neutral and the color of water and sky.  but this isn't about blue.  This is about red.  

Red is passion in its truest, most poetic form. Shakespeare agrees. Passion is anything felt intensely, be it hate, fear, love, lust, rage, or pain.  The only emotion that cannot be red is pure unadulterated sadness and depression. That is because they are blue, or grey.  
Red is blood, life; life blood
Red is the sun when the world is not right. 
Red skies at night, sailors delight 
red skies at morn, sailors be warned
Red is fire, which is also passion. 
Red can ignite a people, angry or exhalted
 or represent a repressive communist government
Red is the color of revolution and  change. 
**(this is not a shame-less Republican plug)**
red is the most natural comfort, 
red is to walk a tight rope of life

Canción del pirata        José de Espronceda

Con diez cañones por banda,
viento en popa, a toda vela,
no corta el mar, sino vuela
un velero bergantín.
Bajel pirata que llaman,
por su bravura, El Temido,
en todo mar conocido
del uno al otro confín.

La luna en el mar riela
en la lona gime el viento,
y alza en blando movimiento
olas de plata y azul;
y va el capitán pirata,
cantando alegre en la popa,
Asia a un lado, al otro Europa,
y allá a su frente Istambul:

Navega, velero mío
sin temor,
que ni enemigo navío
ni tormenta, ni bonanza
tu rumbo a torcer alcanza,
ni a sujetar tu valor.

Veinte presas
hemos hecho
a despecho
del inglés
y han rendido
sus pendones
cien naciones
a mis pies.

Que es mi barco mi tesoro,
que es mi dios la libertad,
mi ley, la fuerza y el viento,
mi única patria, la mar.

Allá; muevan feroz guerra
ciegos reyes
por un palmo más de tierra;
que yo aquí; tengo por mío
cuanto abarca el mar bravío,
a quien nadie impuso leyes.

Y no hay playa,
sea cualquiera,
ni bandera
de esplendor,
que no sienta
mi derecho
y dé pechos mi valor.

Que es mi barco mi tesoro,
que es mi dios la libertad,
mi ley, la fuerza y el viento,
mi única patria, la mar.

A la voz de "¡barco viene!"
es de ver
cómo vira y se previene
a todo trapo a escapar;
que yo soy el rey del mar,
y mi furia es de temer.

En las presas
yo divido
lo cogido
por igual;
sólo quiero
por riqueza
la belleza
sin rival.

Que es mi barco mi tesoro,
que es mi dios la libertad,
mi ley, la fuerza y el viento,
mi única patria, la mar.

¡Sentenciado estoy a muerte!
Yo me río
no me abandone la suerte,
y al mismo que me condena,
colgaré de alguna antena,
quizá; en su propio navío
Y si caigo,
¿qué es la vida?
Por perdida
ya la di,
cuando el yugo
del esclavo,
como un bravo,
sacudí.

Que es mi barco mi tesoro,
que es mi dios la libertad,
mi ley, la fuerza y el viento,
mi única patria, la mar.

Son mi música mejor
aquilones,
el estrépito y temblor
de los cables sacudidos,
del negro mar los bramidos
y el rugir de mis cañones.

Y del trueno
al son violento,
y del viento
al rebramar,
yo me duermo
sosegado,
arrullado
por el mar.

Que es mi barco mi tesoro,
que es mi dios la libertad,
mi ley, la fuerza y el viento,
mi única patria, la mar. 

or as Sharon Creech puts it so eloquently in italian, LIIBERROO LIIIBEROO LIIIIBEROO!

        Children picking apples    this is us in spirit... 
anyways, i got a little distracted. thank you all for being such energetic, playful, romantic (in all its meanings), bodacious people! and of course for the flowers, scarf, cds, balloons, books and candies.
  i don't know what i would do without you guys, it sounds corny, but its really true, just imagine if my parents were the only people i knew... i would certainly jump off a cliff. 

it will rain tomorrow. i will dance and whoop. like a crane or a flamingo.

squash soup sounds delightful, chocolate torte under different circumstances would too; i am very very stuffed at the moment.

2:27pm:
"Black Friday Rule"

I want to believe in myself once again
So I dream of a man whose hopes never end
To kiss with a girl who's as lovely as you
I'd give you my heart, if you gave me the truth

And for every tear that is lost from an eye
I'd dig me a well where no man could destroy

I want to believe in a freedom that's bold
But all I remember is the freedom of old

Well I lost me a wife, so I found me a plane
Flew all the way to California
This mess in my head is a mess getting out
Ya drink too much coffee, I drink too much stout

But after a while, when my mouth's not so dry
I'll dance up a storm, sure life's looking fine
But as darkness falls, I return to my bed
Don't ask me more questions, don't fuck with my head

I've been down in this world, down and almost broken

Like thousands of people, left standing in their shoe
I've been down in this world, down and almost broken
As thousands they grieve, as the Black Friday rule

The buildings they shake but my heart it beats still
Oh mother of Jesus, I feel pretty ill
I want to go home where my feet both feel safe
But there ain't no jobs in the old free state

So I must remain in my new adopted land
I'm doing the best, Hell I'm doin' all I can
So next time you see me, don't ask for my name
For I am the King and sure long may I reign

I've been down in this world, down and almost broken
Like thousands of people, left standing in their shoe
I've been down in this world, down and almost broken
As thousands they grieve, as the Black Friday rule

I've been down in this world, down and almost broken
Like thousands of people, left standing in their shoe
I've been down in this world, down and almost broken
As thousands they grieve, as the Black Friday rule

My ears are still ringing from teh Flogging Molly concert last night.  it was the loudest concert i have ever been to, but it was soooo good.

but I found Nicole and Liz, so it was fun.

12:14am: I will never referee another freshman soccer game alone.  if I do, it will be when I am 30 or 40 or on the moon with a bus-load of aliens.  
my game was soooo bad, I feel sorry for the coaches and players.  I really needed help.  I almost wanted to apologize to teh coaches after teh game, but I refrained and just got the hell out of there before I could get tarred and feathered or something.  

I went to rent a movie tonight, and the first thing I saw was a soccer film, it follows me everywhere, I wanted to yell at the movie, or myself.  I ended up just renting 'The libertine' which I hated and didn't finish, and V for Vendetta, which made me happy.

It is becoming fall, I felt it in the air last night.  it was chilly, but not unpleasantI look forward to apples, pumpkins, leaves, rain, soccer, running, warm drinks in a cafe while it pours outside.  twirling, sun, and jeans. good concerts are to come aswell.  making new friends is a beautiful awkward train. I also look forward to mi cumpleaños, voting day, and the end of senior paper bullshit. I really enjoy these colors. 
mi madre llego anoche de boston.  dije adios a mi libertad cuando dije hola a mi madre.  Es triste no? que esto es mi realidad.

12:17pm: eye saw you
School started.  It should be good.  I'm excited for my classes and for my birthday in october.  I want to move out, because my parents are really unreasonable, but part of their deal is that if I move out then I have to pay for college by myself.  no help at all.  so i guess a few more months shan't be too bad.  hopefully.  they don't know what to say to me, so they say some of the stupidest things.  they are not ready to see me out, and the forced family fun is getting unbearable.. "you can't go out tonight."  "why not?" "because I don't want you to"   what kind of bullshit reason is that?  it's gonna get really bad in the spring.  I feel sorry for my sister because all of a sudden she will get all the attention and not even she wants that. Eugene celebration was good, i got to walk in the parade wiht the Darfur Coalition in the peace train, I saw you.
