HOLLY, COME LOOK AT THE STARS

...yet one of those songs that i don't remember recording or writing on this tape, but i can honestly say that i think it isn't all that bad. i have to remember where i capoed it, if it was in regular tuning, and what exactly i was thinking on the patterns that are used. it seems rather simple, but half the time i think that i am making something i will remember rather well later, and it ends up being kinda complicated in the fact that it is so simple. i never plan these things out the way i think i am going to plan them out. in other words, i need to finally keep some sort of day planner for things like this...and everything else inbetween.

it is weird to be in love like this. its amazing and gratifying. i'm not used to being in a meeting and thinking of what the future has to hold for our relationship. its great though! usually i'm half asleep and just thinking, "MUST EAT SOON AND EVENTUALLY FIND RANDOM FREE BOAT"...lately though, its been, "when will i get to see my sweetie again? i wonder how he is doing. what a dear! what a gent! when will work get over so i can give ultimate cuddlebots?"
my parents have been interested in it all as of late.
the conversation went somewhat like so:
mom: "when will we get to meet him? will we scare him away? we don't want to scare him away. if you love him, then we love him too. are we weird parents? do you think he'll think we're weird? i hope he doesn't think we're weird."
me: "no mom, he won't think you are weird."
mom: "...but we are kinda weird. i mean, you know how we are."
me: "mom. he likes me. i'm weird enough for anyone."
mom: "oh don't say that. you are holly. you are unique. that's what makes you so great."
me: "that's not what i meant. i'm saying that i'm a by-product of you, which in turn would make me just as weird either way."
mom: "that's a good point."
me: "i know. that's what my college education got me."
mom: "okay. i promise to try to be not so weird."
me: "just be yourself, silly! i love you just the way you are."

...and that was the basis of the conversation. what's funny is as i am reading this, i realize that i am so much like my mother that it is sort of silly. i know i've had this conversation recently with someone else. "oh, i promise to try to not be so weird. i'll be on my guard. i just won't say anything, really..." hahahh...wow.

on other random notes, i highly recommend checking out the new stars of the lid album! quite possibly my favorite album (and its a double disc set, mind you) of the entire year!
