Green Eyes

"She may be young, but she only likes old things."

Twenty-two.

I refuse to call a dandelion a weed.

I like penguins.

I prefer dark beer. I don't like liars. I'm known as "Awkward Amber". Music is my key driving force in this world.

I live my life like it's a blank canvas in which my mind is the paint, and my feet are the brushes.

I'd rather drive without directions. Don't worry. I'll get where I'm going.

Hi.

I’ve been so busy with school, work, and life that I haven’t been able to do a decent text post in awhile.

For those who are interested:

Monday was Ross’ birthday, so I cooked him a steak dinner and bought a bottle of wine for us. I’m starting to love these nights in with him. We ate (NY strips, baked asparagus, potatoes au gratin, and king cake bread pudding), had a glass of wine (Parlay blend - excellent choice for steak), and watched Terminator 2.

And then, for the first time sober, I dropped the L-bomb on him. It was just so natural and perfect. And hearing it back is always great, too.

And are you ready to hear just how awesome he is: HE BOUGHT US TICKETS TO SEE COLDPLAY IN JUNE. It’s an early birthday present for me, but it’s easily the greatest one I’ve gotten so far. Sorry mom.

Guys- I’ve finally found the one.

Let’s just hope I didn’t just jinx it.

On how to stay happy?…

It’s a strange emotion. I feel happy, adored, loved. And it frightens me. I’m still waiting for that other shoe.

I try to stay positive. He’s amazing, kind, understanding, funny, loyal, adorable… the list could go on.

So what is wrong with me? Why can’t I just be happy? He makes me happy. I’m always smiling around him. He always finds ways to brighten my day.

Why does something always have to be wrong with me?

I’m already procrastinating.

Great start to your last semester, Amber.

What comes up must eventually come down.

Well, school has officially been in for a week. And yes, the stress has already kicked in. What’s sad is that I’m only in 3 classes right now. I blame outside forces.

I am enjoying my classes so far. Media Criticism is turning out to be quiet interesting. My capstone class is small, which I feel could work in my favor. Feature Writing should be right up my alley, since magazines are what I want to do.

It’s bad that I still have work to complete for my mini-session. It’s due the 17th, but procrastination is an ugly beast to fight.

Oh, and I backed into a lady’s car Saturday night. Completely sober. Awesome.

"What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can be good again."

From Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins.

I literally just finished the trilogy. It was amazing.

I need the sea in my life. It’s been too long.

"None of this is about morality, or religion, or dogma, or big fancy questions of life after death. The capital-T Truth is about life before death. It is about making it to 30, or maybe 50, without wanting to shoot yourself in the head. It is about simple awareness - awareness of what is so real and essential, so hidden in plain sight all around us, that we have to keep reminding ourselves, over and over: “This is water, this is water."

David Foster Wallace

I’m going to have to keep reminding myself of this quote throughout the semester.
