An Overdue [Yet Still Mediocre] Update

2004-06-19 + 2:46 p.m.

Wow, it has been a while, hasn't it? Even the diaryland update box has gotten smaller. Anyhoo, I don't even know where to quite begin.

A lot has happened. A lot. But I don't feel like writing about that much.

There have been some mighty good times, including a really great hotel party way back at the end of school (that was for you kerry), late night house parties, and countless pieces of humour courtesy of jenny b.

oh, and i finished first year with success, i guess. i passed bio. i'm still in honours. that's all i really needed. so i guess that's good.

and once again, mr. christopher ender carrabba has perfectly described where i am at this point in my life. so i guess i'll just leave these lyrics up, because they say it better than i do.

Hope dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
Winding in and winding out
The shine of which has caught my eye
And roped me in
So mesmerizing, so hypnotizing
I am captivated

I am Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
I swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself

So clear
Like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intentions
Oversized and overwhelmed
The shine of which has caught my eye
And rendered me so isoloated, so motivated
I am certain now that...

So turn
Up the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my finger tips
Trace the moment, fall forever
Defense is paper thin
Just one touch and I'd be in
Too deep now to ever swim against the current
So let me slip away
So let me slip
against the current and let me slip away

Slight hope
It dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption...
