fairytales

it's the way you love me
it's a feelin' like this
it's centrifugal motion
it's that perpetual bliss
This Kiss - Faith Hill

love doesn't actually work like this. a relationship can't be all smiles and bliss. someone who actually loves you will go through so much with you: illness; money trouble; fears; and yes, fights too.
love is heartbreaking and it will make you cry. it will hurt you deep inside so badly that it makes you sick sometimes. love is not easy, no walk in the park. it's allowing one person to bring you by turns utter bliss and deep-reaching pain, because you do the same to them whether you know it or not.
there is no way for any relationship to be simple. human beings are by their very nature complicated creatures. love is being willing to work with this complexity and all the curveballs it may throw in someone other than yourself.
that is how you know you've found love.

phwhat?

crap. it's supposed to start snowing tomorrow. right around the time when i'm supposed to leave boston. on a bus. on a freaking BUS.

we better not get stuck.

at least i take bolt with its lovely wireless interwebz so i can catch up on heroes that i keep missing for some odd reason. cannot be without the interwebz for too long.

teh interwebz

i think i may need to be surgically detached from my lovely lovely laptop. it keeps me nicely connected to the rest of the world but it is so horrendously distracting! i can't even shut off my internet when i work because i need the internet to do this work! it is so not fair.

i should probably not take the laptop to class. that may solve part of the problem, as would actually printing things.

on the other hand, look what popped up in my inbox not so long ago today:

you can't tell me that ecards like this don't make up for the ADD that the interwebz undoubtedly induce in me.

i do so love the internet.
