"You've been waiting a long time
To fall down on your knees
Cut your hands
Cut yourself until you bleed
Fall asleep next to me
Wait for everyone to go away
And in a dimly lit
room where you've got nothing to hide
Say your goodbyes "
Such an amazing and beautiful song. So I'm down to just "Black and Blue" and "Carraige" on repeat. I honestly believe that music is one of the most important things to me. It makes me feel things. It helps me clarify my thoughts and my feelings and even my actions sometimes. It provides me with a sense of amazement and wonder. It helps me to remember things. Ellen knew what she was saying when she said that music transports you. I think my life wouldn't be the same if I didn't have music to listen to. I'm just sayin :P
So, today. Uh, well, it was just another day to me. I called home and talked to my Grandma. Then I called my mom. We talked for like two hours. I love that we have such a great relationship now. I really hate that we're so far apart and that we can't enjoy it as much as we might. But then I realize that perhaps we have such a good relationship because we're apart. Me and Mom just have too many similarities to live together for any legnth of time before we drive each other batty. But that's okay. Anyway, she told me that my grandpa went into the hospital for a couple days a couple weeks ago, right after I got back from spring break. No one fucking called me. Grandma said that she didn't want to worry me. I told her that I wanted to worry about him and that if anything ever happens they need to let me know. I've come to love my family so much I don't know what I'll do if something happens to them. Even Ashley (my snotty bitch of a sister) and maybe even Brian (don't ask). I think I've finally come to that point where I understand the importance of family. I may not always agree with their actions or words or ideas. I may not even have much in common with them. But they are still my roots. They're still where I come from. And I've come to realize that even though sometimes I wish I could, you can't change that. And shouldn't. And there's no reason to be ashamed of where you come from. I know that now.
Um, still got 150 pages to read of Mysteries of Udolpho before 5:30 tomorrow. Yeah, I don't think that's going to happen. I still have to work on the budget for BGLTS which should be easy, but still. As well as read for philosophy and make a posting. And read and do my assignment for Stats. It wouldn't be so bad except that I *did* actually work on shit this weekend instead of blowing it off like I usually do. Mysteries is just really really hard to read. Grr. Eh well...one quiz won't bring me down that much. I hope. Oh yay, Judaism is cancelled tomorrow because of Passover. Yay Passover! Well, er, you know what I mean.
