Transient Dreams

Let the light pierce through the darkness Close all old accounts, turn a new leaf Re-learn that old lesson of friendship Kill nor be killed, settle for lessening Amidst us of this fossilized hatred

Transient Dreams

glimpses of life… silence and chaos; laughter and tears…

Perhaps that time has not come yet when our, Gods would listen to the beats in our hearts, peace and happiness spread their glow, perhaps we would have to force Mother Time?.

Busy, busy, busybee

All my life I always wanted to fly. I always wanted to live like a hawk. I know you’re not supposed to be jealous of anything, but…to take flight, to soar above everything and everyone, now that’s living. But a hawk is no good around normal birds. It can’t fit in. Even though all the other birds probably wanna be hawks; they hate him for what they can’t be. Proud. Powerful. Determined. Dark. Odin is a hawk. He soars above us. He can fly. One of these days, everyone’s gonna pay attention to me. Because I’m gonna fly too.

I’ve been so busy lately…

I have so many things to do around Midheaven but I’m going to concentrate on getting all of my upcoming fanlistings up and running. That means I have A LOT of layouts to design and code.

I’m also planning to reopen The Midheaven Cirque which was basically a web directory of sites that are connected in some way to the MH network, either by affiliation with my collectives or personal sites or just by being a fan of me or MH.

Busy, busy, busy… I barely have time to sleep these days.

Sam’s sleeping under my chair again. haha. He’s so sweet. There was a thunderstorm the other day and he was visibly shaking. He was trying to climb onto my lap…he was so scared! Poor Sammy… He’s been on a leash for two days now because he hasn’t been behaving and we have guests. He must have been incredibly bored today while we were out.

Beh, my best friend, bought me a red jacket - which I have yet to see - when she got her first paycheck. Weeeee! She’s so sweet… I’ve missed her so much these past few weeks… She’s really busy with work.

So much schoolwork! I had to do eight plates for HARTDS1 last week - that’s why I wasn’t able to post these past two weeks, the schoolwork just kept piling up - I mean to post at least once a week from now on. I need to work on three plates for COLREND, one major plate for DESPRIN, start my grid drawing (we’re going to enlarge our own portraits) for FREHAND AND study for my midterm exams!

Plus, MIDTERMS ARE NEXT WEEK!

On a happy note, I’m doing REALLY well in BMAT2-X. I have an almost perfect score in the lab component and a perfect score in the lecture component. Yay! I have the highest grade in the class.

HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX! I’m going to watch with my mom, my sister and my cousins. I’m actually looking forward to that more than the movie. My mom isn’t much of a movie-goer. In fact, the last movie she saw in the theater is Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (she read the books before ever watching the movies) and before that, I think the last time she ever went to a movie theater was the first time I ever went to one. haha. I was probably around three or four then.

Edit: My mom and I went to reserve tickets earlier. It’s going to be just the two of us - the others might cancel and we didn’t want the tickets to go to waste.

No time to read. But plenty of time to buy new books. Yes, I’m going broke because of my passion for books. I just can’t seem to help myself.

Neil Gaiman has a new book out, M is for Magic. I’m probably going to get that soon. I’ve won quite a few books on a local auction site. Must settle those first. One of the books I won is A Passion For Books: A Book Lovers Treasury, a book lovers treasury of stories, essays, humor, lore and lists on collecting, reading, borrowing, lending, caring for, and appreciating books. Edited by Harold Rabinowitz and Rob Kaplan. Foreword by Bradbury. Umberto Eco’s “How to justify a private library”, dealing with the question everyone with a sizable library is inevitably asked: “Have you read all these books?” Robertson Davies’s “Book Collecting”, on the diference between those who collect rare books because they’re valuable and those who collect them because they love books. Anatole Broyard’s “Lending Books” in which he notes, “I feel about lending a book the way most fathers feel about their daughters living with a man out of wedlock.”, Gustave Flaubert’s Bibliomania, the classic tale of a book collector so obsessed with owning a book that he is willing to kill to possess it. Anna Quindlen, John Updike and more!
Edit: I’m going to get M is for Magic along with Interworld next Wednesday before or after my mom and I watch Harry Potter.
AND the last HP book… HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS. Just 15 more days to go! hihihi. I reserved my copy way back in February (4th). I was the second one to reserve a copy at that particular bookstore…I would’ve been the first if I hadn’t forgotten to withdraw - I didn’t have any cash with me. haha. Sometimes I feel like I just want to read the last book, just to get it over with.

LSS: still Gin Blossoms. I’ve just been alternating between these five songs: Follow You Down, Hey Jealousy, Til I Hear It from You, Until I Fall Away and Competition Smile. But I’ll be listening to the artists/bands/songs you suggested.

Thank you so much everyone!

Have any of you ever listened to Dishwalla?

Thank you to all the lovely people who commented on my last post! I’ll return your comments as soon as I can. *hugs*

I’ll try to post earlier in the week..around Wednesday or Thursday.

Someone asked me why I hold on, I smiled. What made me fall for him, I stayed silent. They asked me why of all people, I chose him. I answered, “In this world of lies, heâ€™s only the truth I know.”

Sorry to hear that you’ve been busy!

But wow, you’re planning to open yet another site?! Geez… LOL.

Good luck on midterms! And congrats on the almost perfect score!

Anyways, ooh, have fun watching the movie!

Aww, that last quote… Hehe…
connie | July 7th, 2007 at 6:04:51 am

ah, you have so much web work to do! heh, luckily, that’s happy work, right? good luck with it all, i can’t wait to see it all when it’s finished.

sadly, i actually don’t read harry potter… for reasons i really can’t remember now (can you believe it’s been like seven years since they came out!), but now i’m just over it. lol, my friend actually just told me she will force me to read all the books when i am forty-nine, so i’m waiting for that day… until then, i won’t be reading them! i did watch the third HP movie though, but all i remember is a pumpkin… haha, i’m sure i’ll hear lots of reviews about the upcoming movie, let me know how it is! maybe i’ll watch it (what number film is this anyway; the fifth?)!
Kiritsubo | July 7th, 2007 at 11:07:04 am

Your classes may be a little limited, but they sound like so much fun! I’m a little jealous. And it sounds like you’re doing really well, too, so awesome!
And yeah, I am also SOOO PSYCHED for HP5! Cannot wait. I’m rereading the book now, in preparation.
Trixie | July 8th, 2007 at 10:04:06 am

My daughter wants to go to the midnight showing, we did that for the last movie and I fell asleep during it LOL and I love Harry Potter everything
I told her we were just gonna have to wait like most normal people.
I can’t wait for the book and I have to work the day it comes out so I wont be going to the book party like last time either dangit!
That was really nice of your friend to spend money on you with her first paycheck.
Emma | July 9th, 2007 at 12:42:33 am

I can’t wiat until new new HP book and film comes out.
Good luck with the new site.
Aww your friend is sweet.
Kayla | July 9th, 2007 at 12:26:03 pm

Being busy sucks! I’ve been busty lately as well, and my time is just starting to clear up. Great job on your grade! Best grade in the class huh? I wish I could do that…
Matt | July 9th, 2007 at 1:19:03 pm

I know what you mean by being kept busy by school. Sometimes I wish thier was a stop button….that would be so handy.

Oh poor sammy!!!! Poor thing, I hope it’s doing better today…

Oh my aunt had the same situation at the bookstore too…haha it’s coming out on a saturday which means I can jack it before she even starts to read it….mahahaha lol

I actually don’t like the movies much, the books are so much better.
Shelly | July 10th, 2007 at 4:05:06 am

Wah, I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve had so much on your shoulders lately! If I could, I would offer to help you out in any which way possible, because I myself can only dream of being busy right now. Boredom has really gotten to me because I’ve just been sitting at home, eating and not really moving. Thinking a lot, which hasn’t done me any good. Good luck on all the webdesigning that will be coming your way! I believe that you can do it and that you’ll wow us all with your new layouts and sites. =) Focus on your schoolwork first though! Tehehe…

And Harry Potter…I’m planning on taking my little sister to see it when it comes out somehow. But I don’t know how it’ll go since the family hasn’t been all that…agreeable lately. =/ I’ve only read up to the 5th book though. The whole death of the awesome character thing really threw me off…I have the 6th book lying somewhere in the room, I think. I remember I started reading the first chapter and realized I seriously couldn’t remember details from any of the books before — so I thought I would reread all the books again. Somehow that all went down the drain. I’m planning on watching the 5th movie when it comes out to refresh my memory, and then try to read the 6th book again. XD Before then reading the 7th book. Agh, I’m a terrible fan but I’ve been terrible in just about everything I do lately.
Skye | July 10th, 2007 at 5:50:03 am

Oh wow, you’re so busy right now! I hope you get through all that school work in style
I’m looking forward to going to see Harry Potter - I hope you have fun when you go to see it - but I don’t think I’ll be hanging out in the streets again to buy the next book (way too cold this time around). It’s exciting though - it being the last book and all.
Joni | July 10th, 2007 at 1:52:40 pm

I’m rereading Order of the Phoenix now so I’m prepared when I see the movie. hehe Thanks for the Neil Gaiman plug! He’s one of my favorite authors too.
Amy | July 10th, 2007 at 9:24:03 pm

I can’t wait until the last Harry Potter book comes out. I’m so excited! I feel like jumping up and down. It’s gonna be so good. I’m definitely looking forward to the book more than the movie, which isn’t very surprising because I already know what’s gonna happen in the movie.

That’s so cool that you’re gonna see the movie with your mum. It’s gonna be a nice mother-daughter outing. I’d love to do something like that with my mum, but she can’t understand English.
Joyce | July 11th, 2007 at 5:02:12 am

I can’t wait to see the new HP film. I’ll probably go with my mother as well, she likes HP about as much as I do, actually she owns all the other films so she’s probably a bit more into them than I am, heh. Good luck on your midterms!
Chette | July 11th, 2007 at 3:07:18 pm

before you watch HP… ask God to cover you with His most precious blood… para you’ll be safe. Some people may think its not harmless. But I for one, watch the first movie… grabe and spirit na magdodominate sa iyo. So guard your eyes, ears and mouth for these are the doors of our soul… Just an advice from your ate
Lisa | July 11th, 2007 at 4:46:17 pm

Summer is crazy busy here too
Brittney | July 12th, 2007 at 11:51:06 am

Wow, you’re BUSY! I not even half of your half of business. If that made any sense. Which is probably didn’t.

I’m going to see Harry Potter this Friday with my friend in 3D. I’m absolutely spaztic waiting for it.

I just recently reserved my book for the last HP book. xP I hope I get it soon. It was cheap ordering it online though. [or so they said].

Hope you get your homework all done! =]]
Raymond | July 12th, 2007 at 5:06:06 pm

Wow a lot of things going on especially studies yea. Good luck with all the assignments. It’s pretty tiring but you will feel accomplish after doing them. Ohh My friend is treating me to a Harry Potter movie so I am waiting for her to give me a call haha.. Hope you have fun watching it~
Julie | July 16th, 2007 at 7:55:14 pm

Yea you do have a lot on your plate. You gotta find more time for sleep though, cause otherwise you’ll burn yourself out. Good luck with everything, especially school work.
Sarah | July 16th, 2007 at 10:49:52 pm

That really is busy! Hope the work doesn’t get too bad for you and that it is tolerable. How was HP and the Order of the Phoenix, btw? Everyone seems to love it, which is a good thing! It makes me want to see the movie even MORE!! :D

I don’t have much time to read either, but I’m going to try to read a lot when I can.
Angelica | July 17th, 2007 at 12:42:35 am

That book you wrote about sounds really interesting. So interesting that I
Angelica | July 17th, 2007 at 12:44:45 am

Bah, my cat stepped on my keyboard and my not yet finished comment was sent!

So I was saying that I might try to get a copy of that book you wrote about becuse it sounds really interesting. I LOVE books. I love book stores and I love reading. My books are my most treasured posession.

Have you heard about the book store “Shakespeare & company” in Paris? That place is like a Mecka for book lovers.
Sean | July 17th, 2007 at 6:24:02 am

I hope you liked the movie. I never got into Harry Potter, but my step mother loved the series.
vicki | July 20th, 2007 at 5:14:07 pm

Ahhh too many post about HP, I wish it’d stopped already! hehe.
Wattle | July 20th, 2007 at 8:46:07 pm

Wow. I’ve not been here for ages. Sorry! Ah Harry Potter. I actually really liked the movie, what did you think of it? And the book is TOMORROW! *squee* So excited!

Good luck with all your school stuff I hope your midterms went well!
Frankii | July 22nd, 2007 at 4:02:24 am

Wow, you’re lucky you’ve been busy — I’ve been at home for what feels like an eternity with nothing to do, it sucks!!

Another site?
OMG go you!

Good luck with midterms!!
Deanna | July 22nd, 2007 at 9:26:05 am

That sucks that school has you so busy. I am really busy too, but with work. I have worked everyday for the last 8 days. It’s insane.

I’m glad are going to spend some time with your mom. I take my mom to movies sometimes, but then again I get us in for free so it’s not really a big deal lol.
