Slow Club




I have a slight obsession.

Slow Club

They are a truly amazing duo. Kind of the folk/acoustic/wonderfulness that you want to listen to on a warm breezy spring twilight.
I love them.
You should really check out their EP, "Let's Fall Back In Love".

And while you're at it...download their song, "When I Go", (it's lovely).

"Thinking, Sinking, Drinking Feeling", my absolute favorite right now.

Don't ask questions, just trust me on this one. <3

My math class as of today...

I love it. Am I allowed to say that I love my math class? Sure she is hard to understand...but once u get the hang of her dialect it cool. I am totally learning so much and I enjoy it. I am sure the 60 minute class sessions don't hurt but it is 4 times a week. I am really enjoying the fact that she puts problems up on the board for us to work out before she goes over them and I am totally getting them right! This may not sem like a big deal to you, but I have not taken a math class since junior year high school...6ish years. And I haven't taken a math class for 6ish years bc I hate math, I am not good at it at all, but now I feel like I am swimming and keeping up and not drowning and dieing. It's good to feel this way.

Who comes to math class with only a ballpoint pen??

Me.

Dumb. I know.

I fully intended to grab a pencil before leaving the house for class, but got distracted and left w/o one.

Yay....=/

School

I start classes tonight....yay...
Well, I guess it really is a yay! Bc I am 2 classes away from graduating after I am done with these classes this semester. So hopefully, *crosses fingers* I can get those 2 classes done during summer semester and then get into The Arts Academy-Culinary this fall. I can't wait till I can take the classes I want to take, and be excited about school. And I can't wait to be done with Really Cool College (RCC). I would have been done this semester if I could have gotten into all the classes I wanted to get into. But not everything goes as planned. I have a math class 4 days a week and a weather/climate class 2 days a week. Today was not a w/c class day but it is math. Math is my worst subject (hence my taking it as late as I am). I hope I can get through it this semester with *flying colors*. Lol, here's to a new school semester! Cheers...

Her Morning Elegance-Oren Lavie

Sun been down for days--A pretty flower in a vase--A slipper by the fireplace--A cello lying in its case--Soon she's down the stairs--Her morning elegance she wears--The sound of water makes her dream--Awoken by a cloud of steam--She pours a daydream in a cup--A spoon of sugar sweetens up--And She fights for her life--As she puts on her coat--And she fights for her life on the train--She looks at the rain--As it pours--And she fights for her life--As she goes in a store--With a thought she has caught--By a thread--She pays for the bread--And She goes...

Nobody knows

Sun been down for days--A winter melody she plays-- The thunder makes her contemplate -- She hears a noise behind the gate--Perhaps a letter with a dove-- Perhaps a stranger she could love --And She fights for her life--As she puts on her coat--And she fights for her life on the train--She looks at the rain--As it pours--And she fights for her life--As she goes in a store--With a thought she has caught--By a thread--She pays for the bread--And She goes...

Nobody knows

And She fights for her life--As she puts on her coat--And she fights for her life on the train--She looks at the rain--As it pours--And she fights for her life--Where people are pleasantly strange--And counting the change--And She goes...

Nobody knows

Friday February Thriteenth, 2009

Well, today is Friday, February 13th; and yes it felt like it. Drove an hour and fifteen minutes in the pouring rain to a job interview in Corona that got postponed until Tuesday @ 1pm. Then I drove 30 mins back to Riverside and stopped at the Tyler Galleria to pick up tickets I purchased online from an all mighty ticket retailer. I waited in the gift wrap/ticket sales line and when my time came the lady told me I didn't have any tickets unde my account. So the very nice and peppy lady gave me a customer service number for people who have already purchased tickets. I waited on the phone for on hour sitting on the floor of the Macy's childrens section while moms shopped for JoBros and Hannah Montana apparel all around me. Finally I walked back to my car after an awkward elevator ride with a 7 year old girl and boy. In my car I finally talked to someone at customer service who gave me a refund for my tickets because Jacks Mannequin postponned his May 18th show at The Grove until another date to be announced. Royal Bummer! The Jacks Mannequin tickets were the perfect Valentine's Day gift for my boyfriend Matt! He has always wanted to see Andrew MacMahon perform live! I'm ticked. So then I drove home in the pouring rain and ran a couple more errands. I got home and had a good tv watching night with my mom and aunt Sue.

Life Lessons

I am realizing more and more to *!never!* count on *!anyone!* EVER! Except myself. And never get my hopes up and never expect anything from anyone ever.


On a good note...
Idol is on!!!! =))

Feb 7th 1986

Today is my second birthday. No I was not born twice...but that would be really freaky/weird. Yuck. Today is the day my adoptive parents brought me home. It's my Adoption Day! Well, we consider this my Adoption Day, even though the official date is in November I believe. Feb 7th, 1986, my parents began my fostering process. This is the date on all of the video recordings that we have titled "Miranda", they have an assortment of court appearances/ church services (in which I am being held by my parents in front of their
church congregation on a hollow stage and I am given a "Baby's First Bible" which I promptly throw down to the ground with a loud bang...oops, didn't mean it =/ ) and "welcome home/ baby showers". My parents feel like this day is just as important (if not more important) as my biological birthday (as do I). I have only ever known life as being my adoptive parents child...and it has been wonderful from day 1. I only think of my adoptive parents as my parents and never even consider the situation I was in when I was born to my biological parents. Today is happy.

Sleep Please...

Totally annoyed right now. Not enough boyfriend, not enough sleep, not enough quiet (at 3:26am...sibling),
not enough motivation, not enough medication, not enough happy, not enough love, not enough time, not enough comfort, not enough true relaxation, not enough contact....etc.

A Very Happy Un-Birthday tooooo Me. jajaja

I really don't want to be 23. I have never felt aware of how old I am turning on a birthday before. But now, It's like, "Well Miranda, you're on a runaway age train, next stop, OLD". Get that? Maybe ya don't but I sure do. While Myspace was rubbing my new age in my face...Facebook was telling me to have a great day. lol
