Smiley Face

I aspire to be this kind of person for others:

What did you do? What did you say?
Did you walk - or did you run away?
Where are you now? Where have you been?
Did you go alone - or did you bring a friend?


I need to know this - cause I notice when you're smilin'
Out in the sun havin' fun and you're feelin' free
And I can tell you know how hard this life can be
But you keep on smilin' for me

What went right? What went wrong?
Was it the story - or was it the song?
Was it overnight - or did it take you long?
Was knowing your weakness what made you strong?


Or all the above - oh how I love to see you smilin'
And oh yeah - take a little pain just in case
You need something warm to embrace
To help you put on a smilin' face
Hey, put on a smilin' face

Don't you go off into the new day with any doubt
Here's a summary of somethin' that you could smile about:
Say for instance, my girlfriend she bugs me all the time
But the irony of it all is that she loves me all the time

I want to be you - whenever I see you smilin'
Cause it's easily one of the hardest things to do
Your worries and fears become your friends
And they end up smilin' at you
Put on a smilin' face

Love it here

I adore it here. Found awesome friends, and I have different friends for different things. Classy ones at that!

Spent the night running through sprinklers, playing intense ping pong and dancing and singing my heart out! And no one complained ;)

And people who don't respect me are officially out of my life and it feels good.

Can't sleep

Didn't see this coming. But what can you do. I wish my mind wasn't so mixed up. I wish 3,000 miles wasn't so far, wasn't in the future.

I really enjoyed my public speaking class tonight. I think it's my favorite class so far, which is news to me. I thought it would be a pain in the ass, having it at 7-10 on Monday nights but it was really interesting and I always have a lot to say. I'm so glad that I've already had to give my valedictory speech. Even though it was for graduation, it was such an intellectual challenge for me and I was amazed how much it influenced my ability to analyze the speech we watched tonight. And generally everything that I have to do for that class can't be one tenth of the pressure as my valedictory speech. Maybe my excitement from that class is contributing to my insomnia.

Tick tock.
