fleeting happiness is still happiness, i think.

current song: try try try by the smashing pumpkins.

pop tart
what's our mission
do we know
but never listen
for too long
they held me under
but i hear
it's almost over
in detroit
on a memphis train
like you said it's
down in the heat and the summer rain of
the automatic gauze of your memories
down in the sleep at the airplane races
try to hold on
to this heart
a little bit longer
try to hold on
to this love aloud
try to hold on
for this heart's
a little bit colder
try to hold on
to this love
paperback scrawl your hidden poems
written around the dried out flowers
here we are still trading places
to try to hold on
pop tart
can you envision
a free world
of clear division
for too long
they held us under
but i know
we're getting over
in detroit
with the nashville tears
like you said it's
down in the heat with the broken numbers
down in the gaze of solemnity
down in the way you've held together
to try to hold on
to this heart
a little bit closer
try to hold on
to this love aloud
try to hold on
for this heart's
a little bit older
try to hold on
to this love aloud
and we are still alive
try to hold on
and we have survived
try to hold on
and no one should deny
we tried to hold onto the pulse of the feedback current
into the flow of encrypted movement
slapback kills the ancient remnants
that try to hold on
try to hold on
to this heart alive
try to hold on
to this love aloud
try to hold on
and we are still alive
try to hold on
and we have survived
try to hold on
pop tart
you never listen
skinned knees
try to hold on
stop start
what's our mission
skinned knees
try to hold on

my hair always feels so nice after i colour it. it's always softer and smells all good and stuff. it's reddish, with reddish highlights now. i throughly enjoy it. i'm relaxed from taking a shower to get the colour out, and i had a great day. jeremy and preacher and i went to major magic's and played some ddr and shot stuff and ran around like kids, and then we all went to best buy and ran around like kids, and we went to my house and played trivia games all night. it was the most fun i've had in a while, since all my other friends have been m.i.a. for quite some time. i've just about given up on the krissy. bethy is honeymooning, and that i completely understand, as jealous as i am. carin is pretty m.i.a. but that's because she's working a lot and out with her boy, and i know that i could call her at any time and ask her to hang out. i guess i've been pretty bad about calling all the girls lately, but 2 out of the 3 almost never answer their phones, and i don't like to bother people when they've got their own lives. i've been spending an awful lot of time with the preacher but he and i get along really well and we have a lot of fun. i'm a bad friend and i keep him out past his bed time.

i don't know what it is about him, but i feel like i can tell him anything. maybe it's because it feels as though he understands. it's also because i think that we're very similar at points; he's been a lot of places i've been. he's felt a lot of the things that i've felt. i don't know. i don't usually like to open up about things because i don't want to burden anyone else with it, but for some reason when i get around him i just start talking. and he listens, and that's the best part. i don't want him to feel as though i'm annoying or anything, though...i do call and im him a lot. eh, i don't know.

i am lindsay's unwavering depression, even amidst a sea of happiness.

jeremy and i worked out a lot on friday after i got out of work. he's coming around, i think. maybe i am too. beth is right - he and i are both changing, but he's changing a lot faster than i am. regardless of that, jeremy is getting better at dealing with me, and i'm getting better at talking to him. i know he's scared of all sorts of things. i know that he worries that i'm going to leave, even though i never would. i know that his job is stressful, and he knows that mine is too. but i love him, regardless. and it's reassuring to know that he loves me, too.

and now, here i am, wrapped in my stolen hospital blanket. i turned the heat down so the house is finally cold again. and i'm actually kind of tired, and i'm actually kind of happy. it's nice to be able to smile again, even for a moment. and i think that i'm going to smoke this last cigarette and lie down and sleep, so i can get up tomorrow at a reasonable time, so i can go to bed and get up for work on monday. i think that for the first time in my life i'm excited about getting up and going to work. my job makes me smile every day; even when i'm mad at dispatch, even when i hurt everywhere, and even when i have to lift someone who weighs twice what i do. and for that i am thankful, for i think that this job may very well be the salvation i have been seeking all these years.

i'm getting poetic. time to go, my darlings.
