I pushed away the dreams and spoiled the quiet
I'm propelled by fear and not the righteous
So have you been to a place like this?
To see your breath as it paints against the sky
The fever is near, I wish you were here...
the city lights - umbrellas
Here are some song lines that are awesome from throughout my day today.
So what if now is all you have?
Live as if you never knew what it was to lose...
dark - terminal
I want to see miracles
To see the world change
Wrestled the angel for more than a name
For more than a feeling
For more than a cause
I'm singing, Spirit, take me up in arms with you...
twenty-four - switchfoot
It's you and me, we could get out of here
Jump in and go and we could drive for years
We could feel alive...
summertime - mae
I am damaged at best, like you've already figured out...
broken - lifehouse
Hands like secrets are the hardest things to keep from you
Lines and phrases like knives, your words can cut me through
Dismantle me down
Repair
You dismantle me...
dismantle. repair. - anberlin
When I'm losing all control, the city spins around
You're the only one who knows, you slow it down...
look after you - the fray
The only chance that I have tonight
Is if something that I ate made my dreams not right...
where's my head - copeland
And if you get caught in the fire
Just think about what made your heart cry out
For a little fire at all
cover what you can - copeland
I'll tell you flat out
It hurts so much to think of this...
when i go down - relient k
Call me a liar, call me your friend
I will let you down again
Because I'm a disaster of epic proportions
I will let you down again...
the end - the classic crime
Oh no, I'm crossing my fingers
In hopes that you will not leave me...
same problem - waking ashland
I'm alive, but tell me am I free?
I've got eyes, but tell me can I see?
The sky is falling but no one knows...
sky is falling - lifehouse
Say when, and my own two hands will carry you tonight...
say when - the fray
Consequence is our need in times like this
Feeling free is our modern disease...
young and aspiring - underoath

The only chance that I have tonight is if something that I ate made my dreams not right...
Today I am watching the Chicken Shed while Mrs. Harmsen is at a college visit with Andy. It's kind of fun, actually. Even though I haven't the faintest idea how to decorate with this stuff. It's still kind of nice. I enjoy it. Plus, it smells really good in here all the time, which is fun.
Tonight I have a hawt date with my boyfriend. He's the best ever in the world. We are going to Hickory Park and then to the forest preserve to go on a walk. I was just talking to Kim last night about how he and I go on walks all the time. I think it's because it's free and we actually get to interact with each other, and it's just kind of fun. I don't know. We just like it.
Lots of customers today. That is kind of nice. It means there are actually things for me to do.
My boss said he would buy me an ActionScript book so that I can learn it. That is awesome. I am actually really excited to learn a scripting language, as nerdy as that is. I also am asking for a book on PHP and MySQL for Christmas and my birthday. Those are also nerdy things. I am turning into a computer geek really, really fast. But I like my job a lot. It's pretty awesome. And even though I keep saying that I am left out because I am the only employee without a Macbook Pro, I get the biggest moniter except for Steve, and that's pretty cool, and the PC I use is pretty much outfitted to do everything I could ever need it to do, which is cool. It is a good job, and it's a lot of fun.
Sold more stuff. W00t! I think I am getting better about guessing the prices for all the things that aren't priced. Which is a LOT of things, let me tell you. It's a challenge. I always feel the need to tell customers, "Well, I don't price any of this, and a lot of time there aren't stickers, so I'm going to say it's this much and hopefully that works out well."
The Chicken Shed is jamming to some Copeland today.
I am kind of sleepy today. Being at Kim's until 1 AM was probably not helpful as far as being awake. It was fun though, so it was worth it. Plus, I would probably be sleepy anyway, because I pretty much always am.
Andrew stopped in to visit me. He is sweet.
Well. I guess I'm out of things to say.
Sincerely,
Mara the Butterfly

Sometimes it's embarrassing to talk to you, to hold a conversation with the only one who sees right through this version of myself I try to hide behind...
I am going to write more songs. I have to. It has been far too long.
Today when I get home from work the new guitar strings are going on. annA and Zardo are getting all fixed up just in time for what I hope to be my big musical comback. Haha, yeah, so the musical comeback basically amounts to Mara-wants-to-record-a-couple-covers-and-re-record-some-old-songs. But hey, I might even break out the keyboard. Show off my mad skillz. Actually, in case you didn't know, I am terrible at playing the keyboard. I really should have learned how to read music back in the day when I had the time, but I didn't. Andrew has said for years now that he would teach me, and he hasn't yet. *hinthint*
I somehow managed to get gunk on the keys of my laptop keyboard. I will now clean them.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ,m, m n,,mmmmm xszasfgyhjuiolokijklouuuuuuuuuuuuuuiiiujiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiu';lo,juyioikjukiju
That is a little bit better.
Right now I am listening to the playlist that is featured on my dear friend Emily's blog. She likes good music, and she writes good things. Her blog is one of my favorites.
Mom got home laaaaaate last night. I don't know what time because I was asleep. So, it is good that she is finally home. I missed her. It was nice to get to be my own person for a while, I won't lie, but it's also nice to have a mom.
Wow, I got the news done really early today. High five for me.
I am hungry, and I have very little food.
I keep finding all these new little dings on my iPod. How to I manage that? Good grief. It's not like I drop it all the time or anything. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm not exactly the most protective person in the world when it comes to my technology, but seriously, how do I manage to get all my expensive stuff so scratched and dinged up?
My tummy is grumbling at me and my computer has problems.
We just figured out that Matt, my coworker/partner in crime is older than Steve, our boss. How hilarious is that? He has him by like 5 months. That is so funny. I am still the young'un though. Oh well.
Tomorrow is Friday. I am going to Kim's house for a chick flick night. I'm excited for that. Then, on Saturday, I have to run the Chicken Shed and then after that I am going on a date with my lovely boyfriend. He is taking me to Hickory Park and then we are going on a walk. We go on a lot of walks, for some reason. That is okay though, because walking is fun, and it's free, and we actually get to talk to each other. Anyway, when we're done walking we might go watch a movie back at his house.
It is finally lunch time. That is such a good thing right now. Oh man. I am so hungry today for some reason.
