Is it sad I want to reread Twilight before I read any of the other books I have?

Yes, I know it is.

What can I say, I'm in the mood for something romantic :)

Damn you!  Stop panicking and scaring people away!

My heart kind of burns.  And I'm not sure I know why.  I mean, I know why, but I don't know if it should be happening.

Do you ever have a song that you can listen to a thousand times and not grow tired?

I've got 25.  Top 25 most played in my iTunes.  And seriously, I could listen to the same songs for hours.  And they're almost all from several years ago.  Meaning I've liked them for a long time.  I love music.

She's so smart today
She thought she could be right here again, but
She can only see, what she's afraid to see
She's now scared...

She says, I, I can't please myself
(Applause please..)
And it's you who I can't be from, unless

Empty stares, did you find it there..
Always by your side, knowing nothing well it's always right
And we've come oh so far to gain some strength and now we've pulled too hard
Now all you want is gone 
And now I'm all I've got

So he tested time
It's time he thought she'd meet again
It's his selfish mind
That gives him this empty life
He now escapes, he said "I, I can't please myself"
And it's you, your all I want, unless..

Empty stares, thought we'd go down there
Always by your side, knowing nothing, well it's always right
And we've come oh so far to gain some strength and now we've pulled to hard
And now all you want is gone
And now I'm all I've got

Wait and see, that it's not just me
It's everything.. in our lives..
I'll make some space but it's hard, 
But I can't do anything to make this wait

And if all you want is gone
And now all you want is gone
And now I'm all I've got...

Oh and ps.

Now I'm wide as the ocean
Now I bleed roses
And you are just a mark
on the map of my past
But I am a road
I wind along alone
All day until the coast 

strange how it happens...

still waiting to be found...

I have a heart booboo.  How did I let this happen again?

I just have to laugh at it.  Like seriously, laugh at it.  Make it a joke.  I wrote something in my actual journal a while ago and I know its not original, but this is how it feels:

"Strange how it happens:

The heart can literally hurt

And the chest can feel hollow.

All because of a simple motion."

However corny it may be, when Bella was talking about trying to hold her ribcage together because it feels like it was falling apart...thats what mine feels like during a panic attack.  And today is gonna be a constant one.

I want a pocket knife.  If any of mine are repeats, I'm replacing it with "I want a pocket knife."  Lolz.

Jealous of pocket knifes and jealous of Death Cab, Matt Costa, and Ra Ra Riot.

But I'm going to see Jenny Lewis, possibly Jack's Mannequin and possibly Bon Iver...um that would be wonderful.

What do I do when he says he's confused?  And when I'm in such a weird mood that I get paranoid and over think everything he says.  I really like him.  And I want this to work.
