I have a midterm in three hours, so I decided this would be the best time to update.

Basically all I want right now is summer. That's it; that's all I ask for. Heck - I'll even settle for a little Spring Break action. I just want some sand, some waves, and a sunny afternoon. Maybe even some bright pink polish on my toes.

Oh, classes. END ALREADY, DAMMIT!

Dear Birthday Sissy,

Happy birthday! I am sending you this Max and Ruby cake that you already sent me - turns out I'm allergic to metallic icing. Go figure.

Anywho! It's been great being your sister. Even though we didn't really have a choice in matters of the womb, I'm glad I got stuck with you because you're always fun to be with (except when you're making fun of me) (Even still, you're pretty accurate.). From the apple pies in the sky to the Shamus to the strawberry puppies to our secret love of Britney Spears's "Toxic," we are like, SOOOOOOOO bf4e!

I mean, you're cool.

I hope you're having a good one, Eek! I love you!

Nostalgia

I just read a lot of entries I wrote last May. I haven't thought about that time - graduation, getting ready to go to Greece, the excitement of my last summer at home - since it actually was that time.

It's weird to go back to it and feel what I felt then, especially knowing how things are now. Not to imply that they're more glum than I was expecting - quite the opposite, if you must know the truth. It's just that I haven't reflected on that period at all, and now doing so really brings back all the emotion because I haven't spread it out.

I think that if I could have seen me now as I was then, I would be pretty shocked to know all that I know. I am a college girl on the move, and I signed my life away last Saturday to an apartment complex. I actually read for my classes, I am on a flag football team, and if I feel like wearing something that looks a little silly, by God I'll wear it and I'll wear it proud.

I don't have to wonder how I'd be different if I had stayed at home because I already know: I wouldn't be different. I'd be the same Maggie, probably a little stuck in last May because everyone would still be gone like they are and I'd be left to miss them and continue the same routines without. I feel like I've grown a lot since coming here, most of it for the better.

If you know what I'm talking about, congratulations; we're in the same boat of life. If you could not relate to this post at all, thanks for reading.

Faaaantastic.

Today I got a twenty-pound magazine. If you would like to flip through it with me later tonight (or at any other point, for that matter, because I don't know if it is possible to finish it in one sitting), you know how to do.

On that note, I really can't wait for Spring Break. Visiting dear Sissy, going to the beach, not studying for a week... Sounds like a pretty good deal to me.

I know my updates are erratic and don't ever actually tell you anything. This isn't an appology - I'm just saying that I'm aware of it.

Hope everyone is having lovely week.

Wa-hey!

"Express what's in your heart."

Today was absolutely amazing. Sometimes it can be easy to let the little things (The big ones, too, for that matter.) get you down, but I truly believe that in the end, you can only be as happy as you let yourself be.

Sure. You can go on thinking that you're worthless. You can draw attention to yourself by being outwardly prone to self-depricating comments and behaviors. You can say it's a pity how your life is turning out and refuse to smile for as long as you wish. You can say that your life has never been so unfulfilling, so unpromising, so hopeless and futile - but where does it get you?


I know I'm a day late and a dollar short, but this is all there is. If you can't find something to love - nature, poetry, your cat, dance parties - I hope you do soon; it's just no way to go through life.

Happy Valentine's Day!

I hope everyone who reads this is having a terrific day - no party poopers allowed. When you take the time to appreciate everything that surrounds you, you'll see such beauty as you've never witnessed before.

Look at how much there is to love in life. I love all of my friends and my family. Thanks, guys, for making every day something to remember. I hope you know that you each have a special place in my heart, and even more so when you hold my hands, look deep into my eyes, and we practice our synchronized crooning routine.

Truffle-butt or no truffle-butt, you damn well better have a good day, or I'll come over there and make you!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Chill.

I know it's blurry.

Mmm-kay!

This has nothing to do with anything. I wrote it last year and found it today. It touched me, so here it is.

----------------------------------------------

"And just like the movies,
We've played out our last sceen."

Wow. I saw it coming, but I never saw this coming. All the time and all the distance, and here I am again, eighteen, and still so much in love with something that was always mine for the taking, never mine to have again.

"No, I won't be afraid,
Just as long as you stand,
Stand by me."

I love him so much; I would so anything for him. I would collect all the stars in the sky and keep them in his eyes where they belong. I would stand like an idiot under the mistletoe waiting for him to come around on Christmas Eve. I would move back home and change everything in my life just to taste him, if only once more, and wait on him like I've been waiting on him since the day we first met.

"I remember running through the wet grass,
Falling a step behind..."

Saturday night is all I can think about. We were meant to be. I don't understand it, but we were made to be together. Some people search their whole life for what we were handed years ago, and still we can't make it work. There's too much now; we're adults, and I'm here and he's there, but we're everywhere together.

"We're such crazy babies, little monkey.
We're so fucked-up, you and me."

We've been through so much together and so much apart, and even the things we weren't there for are important. It's everything, and he's everything. He's every good thought I have and every time I'm alone, he's the one I need to hold me. He's fate and he's shooting stars and he's fireworks on the fourth of July. He's my favorite day of the year and he's the old love song on the radio.

"We make a lifetime commitment
To recovering the satellites.
All anyone really wants to know is
When you gonna come down?"

But it can't be. For every reason in the world, it can't be, but it could be if it weren't for everything else. We're perfect for each other, but we're so far gone... I keep thinking that if we'd been together over the summer, something different could have come of this; that if I had had the balls to suck it up and golf-course it at the end of June, I could be with someone truly amazing.

"You can't always get what you want,
But if you try sometimes,
You just might find
You get what you need."

The thing is, I do have someone truly amazing. He's still mine, as I am always his. We're head over heels in love, and there's not a thing in the world anyone can do about it. It's not as tragic as it might have been a few years ago, but it is the best thing that's ever happened to me. I can't imagine what I would be if it weren't for him, and I honestly don't want to know. I would be a million times worse off, and I certainly wouldn't be OK on a day like today. I love him and he loves me - that's all that matters. The world may be crashing down around me, but it doesn't matter.

"You say it best
When you say nothing at all."

That's how it's going to be from here on out - a promise for happiness, if only...

Dear Everyone Who Reads This,

Hi. It's your favorite Maggie. Since it's already the nineteenth of January and I've spent a full week of moping about, I figured it couldn't hurt to at least make you laugh at reading my Valentine's Day application. I encourage everyone who sees this to fill it out - single, taken, peeved, contented, serious, pissing around, drunk, sober, etc., or any combination thereof. Questions are open to interpretation, and such interpretations as I assume will be made are allowed. Cheating, slander, and otherwise inappropriate comments are encouraged.

T/F:

I know what time it is.

Fill in the blank:
1. If I could be made into anything, it would be a/an _____.
2. Generally speaking, my weekends are _____.
3. _____ indicate(s) crazy times to come.

Bonus:
If granted the privilege to be Maggie's Valentine, I will celebrate the day with her and her baffling beauty by...

Like a red rubber ball...

Today was surprisingly great for no reason in particular. In fact, it should have been the exact opposite of great, as it was extremely cold (see: Maggie's deep hatred for cold), extremely intense (see: three-hour lecture of doom), and extremely lonely (see: never again listening to U2 with the same heart).

I guess I'm at the point where I realize the benefits of dwelling on it for a few days, and then I reap the benefits of turning out alright.

I've been writing a lot lately - not here, obviously - but I feel it has served me well. In the future, perhaps some ridiculous sensation will come over me and I will want to look back and relive this; perhaps not. In any case, I'm doing something I haven't been able to do in a long time. I'm not sure just why this is, but I have a feeling everything's connected somehow...

Cycle, much?

Yeah. I copied you.

Short and sweet

Well, one thing I'm thankful for is good friends. They're rare, but they're jewels.

Thank you.

Nudillos

See the stone set in your eyes,
See the thorn twist in your side.
I wait for you.
Slight of hand and twist of fate;
On a bed of nails she makes me wait,
And I wait without you.

With or without you,
With or without you...

Through the storm we reach the shore.
You give it all but I want more,
And I'm waiting for you.

With or without you,
With or without you...
I can't live
With or without you.

And you give yourself away,
And you give yourself away.
And you give,
And you give,
And you give yourself away...

My hands are tied, my body bruised;
She's got me with nothing left to win
And nothing else to lose.

And you give yourself away,
And you give yourself away.
And you give,
And you give,
And you give yourself away...

With or without you,
With or without you...
I can't live
With or without you.

This is going to be a great semester.

I know because it's already going fantastically well and it hasn't even started yet. Some things I'm looking forward to are:

1. More interesting classes.
2. Temp job.
3. Camellito!

And some old faves are returning to make the rest of the year amazing:

1. Kick-ass roommate situation.
2. Dance parties up the wazoo.
3. Comfy bed!

I am sad for the loss of:

1. Nip/Tuck.
2. Laguna Beach (No judgement allowed.).
3. The remaining crumbs of my sanity.

I can't wait to:

1. Find an actual job.
2. Find a place to live next year.
3. Reveal the winning jewel on The Flavor of Love

Hope everyone has a great day tomorrow!

Brr much?

Yay for Gainesville. No for cold.
