Just breathe...

I like to have the windows open in the car. Even in the winter, I just crank up the heat and roll down the windows; probably not the best for the car, but I can't help it. I'm not claustrophobic or anything like that and I do get cold easily, I guess I just feel like I'm trapped. It's as if there is this huge world and all I can see is what these pieces of glass our allowing me. When the window is down you can see more stars and take in more of what is around you. Plus the air is flowing and alive. I wonder if that's what people in glass houses feel like sometimes...
I don't know I guess I just like how in tune and free it can feel, just by having the windows rolled down and the music/heat cranked up. I have to see everything and take it in, I don't want to miss a thing. This happens when traveling in general too. I sometimes feel like I haven't really been somewhere just because the car didn't allow me to see all there was to see.

Baby, it's cold out side!

It is indeed getting colder out, with the holidays fast approaching that comes as no surprise. However it seems like it was only a matter of weeks ago that people where walking around with just shorts on (except for the guy on campus who where's t-shirts and shorts everyday and is fine while we are all bundled up, I think he's an alien...). Fall was warmer then usual which wasn't bad, it just didn't feel like fall. It feels like I missed it, even though i didn't.
That said, however, I'm fully ready for Christmas. I don't think I've been this excited for Christmas in a while, the past few years I guess I just got bit by the hum-Bug and didn't see why it was so important. Don't get me wrong I still don't really want to put up the Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving, but if the mood was right why not. I'm ready for the hot chocolate, warm fires, and of course the music (which I've all ready started listening to). I've even started X-mas shopping via this new fangled invention known as the internet. Which makes it all so easy and quick to do.
I think perhaps I'm more excited this year because my sister and her husband are coming home for Christmas. Last year we went to see them and it just wasn't the same, maybe I'm just a bit nostalgic for the "good old days" when you are still a little kid and if you wanted to see a family member you just go to the room next to yours.
Any way stay warm out there!!

Price of a relationship

As you may or may not know, it is almost the holidays and there fore presents need to be bought for people. Well, the other day I was on the website of one of my favorite stores Restoration Hardware, they always have clever little gizmos and toys that are old fashioned. While searching through the different items I found the cutest thing ever, Smittens. As you can see you and who ever you are involved with, or whatever, get your own then you share one so you can hold hands while keeping warm in the winter. This is obviously a two person item and at $49, give or take tax and shipping/handling, I guess you can put a price on a relationship.
That said it really is the cutest thing, but as expensive as it is it would probably be cheaper to just by two pairs of mittens and stich them together with love. I garuntee that it would mean alot more to who ever you give it to that you made it yourself. (At least that's how I'd feel)

A week or so ago...

This guy is actually from real life. He was on the corner by scramble light (a four way stop light on campus for those of you who don't know) He had a drum on his back a harmonica and a banjo!

Happy Median?

This was a thought that popped into my head while walking from class...which oddly enough is when most of these thoughts come into my head.
You try to be friendly to the strangers on the street, you know give that somewhat half smile or nod possibly say hi, depending. I mean, you want to be nice to everyone in case that weird kid you saw on the street or going down the hall, decides to bring a gun to school one day. Then he might not shoot you, because at least you where nice to him and said hi. Then on the other hand you don't want to be too friendly because the kid could have stalker tendencies and no one wants that.
So where's the happy median?
How friendly is too friendly? How friendly is enough to not end up dead, because either way it would happen...that is the ultimate end to stalking, or so they say.

Now with writing!!

Think...

I think I could fall in love with this guy,
who needs as much saving as I do sometimes.
He's a sad, strange little man; who could hold my heart in the palm of his hand.
The power he has, I believe is unknown.
What's at risk if I leave him alone, or will he somehow find me on his own.
This may sound corny, as rhymes often do, but if i over think the circumstances
I don't think this will come true...
