the clouds look as though they want to devour the earth.

i am backkk in michigan! whoot.
yay for cold weather, frienelies, interesting classes...
OOPS, did i just say cold weather? wow, NOT.
i walk outside, and by the time i get to my destination i am dripping sweat, not cute.
i mean i guessss it should have been expected, but whatevs.
ANYWHO. i have been a lot happier since i've been back. seeing some of my friends here have made me feel loved again, and important.
i knowww that sounds really depressing, and i'm not saying I don't appreciate any of my friends in georgia. it's just different now...

That's my favorite poster corner.

Today was beautiful, i walked to my favorite part of campus. Where there is this pathway along the river with trees on either side and a crazy garden. i sat on a bench and read. it was great.

michigan is great.

my room, MMM soooo sooo cool.

MEG, NO! *whimpers* i love you.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE HERCULES.

I don't understand my obsession with disney movies, i mean, isn't that supposed to be a thing of the past, warm memories of childhood mirth.

i regard alan menken as a genius.

i am in touch with the kid in my heart, no one wants to watch ANYTHING disney with me. apparently we're "tooo old for that" PWAH. you're only as old as you feel, that's what my mom says at least.

As my summer comes to close i find it necessary to think back on it all. take it in, honestly and objectively view the success of my summer, and i have.
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhm it kinda sucked.
9 credits, that i sorta rocked the hell out of.
lots and lots and lots of scrabble, and bones!! i love bones.
played quite a bit of piano, didn't sing at all.. not good since auditions are in a week. BAHHH
erm, saw dark knight..
ooh and i also figured out what i want to do with my life, cool!

so... actually subjectively i had a pretty nifty summer. Not objectively though.

i'm excited to go back to msu, to just live again.
i'm rooming with a girl who is pretty much like me, i have a job, i might be doing an accapella group, it's a time for change, i say. Obama anyone...


I CAN GO THE DISTANCE.

p.s. i was watching hercules while writing this entry, haha.
peacelove.

watch your back, like the ides of march

I'm listening to the new Conor Oberst cd.
"whose heart beats electrical?"
oh man i love his lyrics, lots and lots and lots.

i went to a lake house last night, for a party... yea. i know.
it was beautiful though, i wish i had a picture i could post. ooooeeeee.
i closed a lot of doors that night, metaphorically of course, but also realistically too. i mean closing doors is a completely normal past time, i feel safe saying everyone on this planet does that at least once daily...

the closure i needed was received, and apparently i am too rambunctious to live among people.
BUT I'M HAPPY.

i am ready for this next year.

i bet she doesn't even know who gandalf is..

i'm wearing a yellow flower in my hair.

i haven't updated this in more then forever. I guess i have just had a lot on my mind.

the moon's not very bright tonight, i blame the clouds.

i finished summer school, YEA YEA YEA YEA YEA YEA.
i'm super happy. and now am relaxing.

i, yes i. kalyah alaina got a job. I honestly don't know how i did it, but I got chosen out of like 100 people, and my bff mitch got an interview too, but I still got the job. I am soooo ecstatic, it seems like a great job!
i just said I 7 times, no wait. 8. nope, 9.

i also found this job at the MSU museum (to work on weekends) as a docent, and it's for a photography exhibit coming from the SMITHSONIAN (where i eventually want to work) so i dunno, can someone say perfect?

but enough about me, now onto the rest of the world...

uhm..
dear mother nature,

you are screwing with us southern dwellers, the power has gone out probably 8 times this week, and you have made it very hard to step outside without my skirt flying up into my face. BAH, but i love the rainbows you leave out after the storms. It's as if you are saying "sorry, here's a little bit of magic to put a smile back on your face".

p.s. it does.

with love,
kalyah.

I have started painting again, looking at all the storm clouds every day has inspired me. i am making a series of, i guess, dark paintings. lolzers.
and speaking of inspiration, i started singing again. my GOD this summer has had a very adverse toll on my voice. i sound horrid. mehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhs.

speaking of mehhhs, i met a boy! not a boy lover boy, haha i wish. but a boy IMed me randomly, apparently we were thrown together by some elusive robot mastermind. oddly enough we got along wonderfully, he is the only other person on this planet, that i have met that also says mehhs. we talked about music, our love of instrumental jazz big band type music, cartoons, the random instruments we play. our plan is to dwell on a street corner, me on the harmonica, whilst playing the piano singing. and him on the recorder.
we will be famous.

someone told me today "before i met you i never had a best friend"
talk about sweet. i couldn't stop smiling, AWESSS.
ok
TAX FREE WEEKEND!!! WOOO.

erm. i'm gonna go watch more episodes of bones, cause my summer nights have taken to sitting on the couch watching episodes of bones then freaking out because i think some man is going to come up behind me with an axe, then take my remains elsewhere for dr. brennan to later find and identify as me.
yea, vivid.

we are nothing but lashes that flutter.

Elvis Costello and the Imposters.
-momofuku

such a good cd.
AND IT'S REALLY HIM.


the cd was named after the guy who invented cup of noodles, how pimp do you have to be to pull off something like that without criticism? only praise. MOMOFUKU. it doesn't even roll of the tounge, sweetly. but it is just so damn cool.
i want to use it as some sort of adjective, or exclamation.

"like wow guys that's so momofuku!"
- yea i don't really dig that.

or i guess i could say.

"MOMOFUKU THAT WAS COOL"
-omg i love that.

there are posters all around campus for this cd. and i honestly thought it was a joke. so i didn't really pay attention. but now i want to take them all and cover my walls with them. so my room will be a bright shade of purple with dashes of lime green and pink about every foot.

i have an interview today, EEEK i'm nervy!!

but i am sitting in a cool seat in the library, and it is oddly calming, i'm facing a HUGE MONUMENTAL window. and i can see down the street for miles, on both ends actually, and it makes atlanta look so fake. like the buildings all look so perfect and beautiful.
everything just looks so... amazing.

i think i'm just in a good mood.
had some coffee and nuts.
and i have my orange highlighter today.

DARK KNIGHT THIS WEEK!!
and momma mia...

i feel like part of the appeal of the Dark Knight coming out is because it is allegedly what indirectly killed heath ledger, i feel like other then the movie looking cool as hell, that's the main reason i want to go.
i don't know how i necessarily feel about that..

"And we should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once. And we should call every truth false which was not accompanied by at least one laugh."
-Nietzsche

what is this, are you some kind of hypnotist?

waving your powers around...

I skipped class today, mainly because i spent all night listening to music, instead of reading for my quiz.


GUESS WHO'S STUPID?!
yup, that's right. me.


I never want to forget the night I found out the CD i had fallen in love with, the cd of my summer. was not actually the cd i thought it was at all.
IN fact my gullibility has increased at such an alarming rate that this "April Fools" joke kept me fooled all the way till last night.
YUP.
and i talked this cd off ALOT.
i am so ridiculous.
I'm kind of embarrassed actually, so i probably won't say what band, but all i know is i LOVE this band that i have been listening to for the past few months. and i can't seem to find their music, ANYWHERE.

HAHA, oh memories.
i'm going to look back at this in a couple years and just die...

point.set.mark 135 days till harrypotter.

life is going weird.
but i'm happy.
forever listening to happy music.
and
smiling.

I AM KICKING ASS AT SCHOOL TOO!

i am planning on taking a philosophy class.

and i decided i want to work in a museum, as my future. career...i guess.

I also saw the movie hancock TWICE this weekend, like whoa. i personally funded the movie.
i initially wanted to go cause i swoon when i see jason bateman AND will smith.
and my mom wanted to go cause it looked funny.
and me and clifford went spontaneously, that was a blast.
it was decently humored. i of course laughed at the things that WEREN't supposed to be funny.
so there were several occasions where i would be the only person in the theater laughing, but what else is new?

i hope something exciting happens soon, i'm getting slightly bored down here in the south.
