12:30 pm - midsummer musings
|
i often don't feel like i know where my life is going. why i'm doing the things i do, why i stay in the city i'm in. i want answers, but i don't know where to get them.
why do i live in minneapolis? it's not for a job. maybe it's for a band. it's not for the girl, she wants to go away to the mountains and bring me with. there are beautiful people here, wonderful friends who have touched my heart. minneapolis is close enough to my dear parents. the mountains seem so far away from them. then again, so is Frankfurt, so...if brenda did it, i suppose i could too. perhaps i do need a break from the busy city (like mpls is really that busy). maybe i'm too distracted to do the things i love. there are too many bars, too many people. maybe i do want a mountain view to stare at and wait for words to come flowing on the paper, with a melody in my head. it just seems to hard to leave everything again. to leave most friends behind and start over. maybe that is what i need.
i honestly don't know. i don't know where to take my life. i know lacey is so good for me. i know she can't stay here much longer. is it the right choice to go with her?
and what is this career business? should i think about a different plan other than music? music is what makes me happy, but to make money doing it? how do i do that without TEACHING?! i don't think i'm a good teacher. maybe the mountains would offer a new light to what i want to do. being out in nature sounds pretty good. follow in my father's footsteps? become a steward for the land? teaching the world about *the world* sounds better than teaching music. i don't know how to teach music. i just say, DO IT. thats what i did. music is natural, flowing from my deepest emotions. what can i teach of that?
do i need a big city to succeed in music? is this a stereotype that is hindering my musical growth? i think what i need is better communication. showing myself. being *proactive* about it. bah. i'm much too shy to do that naturally. something to work on, somewhere to grow.
lets talk about the mountains some more, my love. get it figured out, logistics, emotions, time frames....maybe i can do it. i bet i could, but i have to believe.
current mood:  contemplative
current music: unfortunately, none.

sometimes, things come into your life that are not ready for you. perhaps more so the other way around. such as my sweetest darling lacey. a love so happy and without fret.
and this cd, hollohills, by scatteredtrees.
all good things come to those who wait.

9:39 pm - STELLLAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!
|
a new year. a new life. a better life. she is completely out of my life. for now. i can live again! i am so happy.
stella. star rollergirl. beautiful artist. interested in contemporary music. someone i am completely smitten with. cannot get her out of my head any minute of the day! i like it. kissing her felt like something i haven't felt in a couple years. what joy. what growth.
lucky me. :-)
i'm trying to go with it, taking it for what it is, not making anything up that isn't actually there. hoping but not being unreasonable.
ahhhhhhhhh. it's good to feel this way again.
current mood:  chipper
current music: hot chip - from drummer to driver

11:43 pm - secret place
|
if you haven't noticed, i've taken to writing sad/emo/stupid stuff on livejournal. i have a myspace that more people go to, so if you're reading this, good for you, but i generally assume that nobody reads this anymore. which is good. which is why i write the pathetic stuff here. okay, end explaination now.
i don't know what it is, but today i thought, wow, i'm still in love with m. why would i think that? what brought it on? i found out she might have an icky sickness and i just wanted to go over to her place and make her soup and take care of her. give her a massage, clean her place, do anything nice for her. my chest has that pain in it that is saved for the big heartaches because i miss her so much.
and i don't think she wants to see me anytime soon. ah, but i am the one who said i didn't want to see her. which is the hardest thing i have done in a long time, right? it needed to be said. something wasn't right. a romantic relationship wasn't in the cards...
people freak me out. someone touches me, i wonder why. i'm suspicious of everyone. i fall for people i can't have.
gah. this is just a bad time probably. it's been three weeks. just gotta get over the hump maybe. i feel like i'm making progress most days. yeah, it'll get better..

2:23 pm - i need to get to madison
|
there is a rainer maria concert in madison on the 24th. i think i need to be there for that. but i have no info about it!
had an amazing weekend. so many kind people out in the world. seriously. i've lived here for almost 2 years and there are just vast amounts of loving, caring, smart, creative, active people that i haven't met. TONS! a;sdklgh!
i shouldn't find it hard to believe that of all the bars, they went to the same one. but for a moment my heart did a little skip and my brain said "drink the whole beer and then the whiskey!". just a blip in the radar though.
i met someone last night that i think i just want to make happy. or at least get her onto the path of happiness. doing so can help me, too.
i seriously can't believe how many genuine, caring people i met in the past 3 days.

10:56 am - places i've never been to
|
travelling with a band in a van. i got sick 5 days ago. i'm still sick. yeah, i was sick a week before we left too. what is wrong with my body? mimicing my mind maybe?
i switched the ring to my right hand. sad, but needed. i remember the fall, flying kites, running in the leaves with amadeus. i remember you coming home early in the morning with sad news. i remember walking in the rain through uptown. i remember biking everywhere. you didn't like me following you too close behind you. i remember you holding me on the franklin bridge and kissing me in front of all the people in automobiles. i remember a lot of things. is this why i haven't let go?
i feel like a child. this shouldn't be so difficult.
i haven't cuddled with anyone for a long time. i like to cuddle.
west virginia is warm and beautiful.

barf.
wait no, i shouldn't start the entry like that. i had a wonderful time in chicago seeing old friends. not all of them, since my time there was short. so many people to see, too little time...hopefully there are no hard feelings. but yes, chicago brought many musings from me about my past and it's just so apparent to me what is going on now. but there is no replacement. there is no getting something back. hmm. i'm excited about spending time alone. i should throw my phone into the mississippi. nah...but i should keep if off more often.
back to the barf. yes, everything in this city is too connected.
and i'm sick of language and dating and kissing and meaning. i'm kind of sick of it all.
but i'm excited about being in a band! touring in february!
i need a new brain or maybe i need a new city. yay!
current mood:  aggravated

today was going alright. not really going to post much because really, who likes to hear "oh we broke up boohoohoo" again? i don't like it, so meh.

someone from my past called me up and it was weird.
arr.

11:41 pm - college!

oh campus life. it's such a community and closed in and interesting. i kind of miss it. i definitely miss my friends. it got me used to being around people constantly though. i'm unlearning that. i think that is good.
so right, i'm at lakeland college. who would have ever thought this day would come! it's fun to see ashley's life and friends here. it's in the middle of a field. i was listening to a cd with some circus like music on it and i was certain i was lost in some random field just outside of plymouth. but no! lakeland college was there!
this post is somewhat pointless. right! back to college!

well, i'm sad today. my alarm didn't go off so i was an hour late to work. dumb ass boy is at work. i don't like being broken up with m. i don't like the idea of her being with dumb ass boy or dumb ass girl (they are not dumb at all, i'm just being immature). we've been spending time together and i've been having a great fall in the sense that i get to be outside and go to country and pick apples and go for runs and blah blah but my heart still feels somewhat heavy from what i feel is going to be a very hard time ahead of me. i don't like break ups.
and tina and carrie are going to get beat up if they don't answer their phones today.
it's just one of those days where crying would be a nice thing to do.
oh and i fell asleep last night before i called ran so now i'm a dick AGAIN. goddamnit.

yanni!
some loser came into whole foods and made me cry. so, if you see some jerk with curly blonde hair and a blue shirt in her mid 40's, punch her real hard in the face and then destroy her car. mkay thanks.
but then i flew a kite with m on my break and got in a much better mood.

9:36 am - the world is stupid

"the best show your not watching." tv guide.
wow, way to look dumb, tv guide. maybe it's just a pet peeve of mine, but dude, just use the right word. YOU ARE.
such a small thing when so many bigger things are going on. in my life and the world.
almost all of my stuff is at my new apt. the new me might move in too.
this city and her stand side by side. like siblings or best friends, it doesn't seem right to see them apart. but here they are, apart. i've got a big challenge ahead of me.
lets get back to being personal. if you want to talk to me, call me at 612-270-8866 or email me at laurainfo@gmail.com. lj is not where i want to talk right now. like, seriously, if i get a comment to this post, i'll smack you! :-)

after 5 or 6 years of using it, postmark.net has shut down. i no longer have the 3 email accounts there. i no longer have any of my addresses that were stored there, nor do i have the countless emails or pictures there. this is stupid, but worse things could have happened. so! for now, i'll be using my yahoo account, unless someone wants to be cool and invite me to have a gmail account. but, if you'd like me to have your email (and those who have ordered a cd probably should give me this info), send it to mystarrydream82@yahoo.com. okay, sweet. hopefully i'll get some addresses back.
sigh, damnit.
