the inspiration behind my username...

faceless wonder of the world
by shades of fiction

everybody's asking questions
as it rushes to the back of my mind
the nurse is coming with my remedies
now i'm taking back what's right
emergency it's life threatening
when i don't connect your eyes with mine
shadows fall with your dignity
it's eating away at your life
while you sleep
and after all we learned we still run too far
round in circles
when all i just wanted was for
you to understand me
i think now i've learned my lesson
never mix an angels breath with wine
exchanging notes with a den of thieves
to disappear in the light
faceless
wonder of the world
with no place
no place to call his own
and after all we learned we still run too far
round in circles
when all i just wanted was for
you to understand me
although at times i'm so uncertain
reliving these tears and silent cries
distance distraught
always hurting someone
this time i'll get this right
and after all we learned we still run too far
round in circles
when all i just wanted was for
you to understand me
faceless
wonder of the world
with no place
no place to call his own
don't try to undo what's been done
close your eyes and sleep

i've caved in...

i've been batting around in my head the idea of copying my blogger entries into lj, since i know so many people who are on lj...but i really, really did not want to resurrect my old journal (deepinyourwake) for various reasons, some that make sense and some that do not. so...this is my "new" journal...or at least a second home for the continuation of my other one.

in other words, this is the only entry that will be in this journal and not in my other one...so enjoy it while it lasts. i guess this one will also have music and mood...which is original content specific to LJ. whoo-hoo. that part is fun...but i still love my blogger, which i've been keeping since 2003, enough to keep it as my "main" journal. all of the old entries, from 2003 until today, can be read on the blogger, of course.

(and, for anyone who may be wondering...faceless_wonder is an allusion to a shades of fiction song called faceless wonder of the world. the lyrics are here.)

some content, for once

my entries have been so short lately. i have some time to kill now...given that i've been trying to find one of my friends to hang out with him before trivia...but he doesn't yet have his voice mail enabled on his new phone, so i can't get in touch with him. he should turn his phone on.

i've been doing nothing but working, basically. at least tonight i don't have to work at leona's, and tomorrow i don't have to work at the law library...but still, i'm sick of working so much. i'm so ready to trade waitressing and barcoding in for casebooks and memos that it's not even funny...law school can't start soon enough.

still, i think the next day that i might have completely off from any job is sunday. i signed up for no shift at leona's on sunday...and if they give me a shift, i'm going to go to the ends of the earth to pawn it off on someone. i'll swap, i'll give it away, i'll take a double, i don't care. the pride parade is on sunday, and there is no way i'm going to miss the pride parade. i've got all my pride beads hanging up in my room in anticipation of it (including my awesome chain one that i got at gay mart last year, and then a bunch of random ones i've been given over the last three times i've gone to pride). maybe we'll figure out something fun to do before or after the parade...who knows? i'm just looking forward to a fun day out...i hate pretty much every other parade ever, but pride is just so much fun.

maybe that naked guy will be dancing atop sherwin-williams again this year. that would be hilarious.

i think i'm going to skip along to the pub pretty soon, though...it's only six thirty, but i want us to have a decent table...and it fills up pretty fast on trivia nights, even over the summer. plus, it just sunk in that i've been at the reg for an hour. i graduated over a year ago...why the heck am i at the reg??
