i hate it when the story ends and everything resolves so nicely, but then you close the book or turn off the tv and you're suddenly brought back to reality where the story isn't resolved and you don't know what the next few steps are going to be and you're dreading the ones you do know about. sometimes i try to appease myself by stepping back and petending like i'm the reader wondering what this character will do next or what will happen to him. makes things a bit easier when the ending isn't so happy.

        but then i realize that it's not all a story after all.

        i have an oral presentation in spanish tomorrow and a story due on tuesday and am completely lacking any motivation to even begin working on either of them. it's about 10:20pm and i'm sitting at my desk trying to create some alternate universe in my all-too-well-developed imagination.

if i could just see You
everything would be all right
if i happen to see You
this darkness would turn to light

and i will walk on water
and You will catch me if i fall
and i will get lost into Your eyes
and everything will be all right.
