if you put your arms around me, could it change the way i feel?
i guess i let myself believe that the outside might just bleed it's way in,
maybe stir the sleeping past lying under glass,
waiting for the kiss to break this awful spell,
pull me out of this lonely hell.
>close my eyes and hold my heart
cover me and make me something
change this something normal into something beautiful
>what i get from my reflection isn't what i thought i'd see
give me reason to believe you'd never leave me incomplete.
will you untie this loss of mine? it so easily defines me
do you see it on my face?
that all i can think about is how long i've been waiting to feel you move me.
>close my eyes and hold my heart
cover me and make me something
change this something normal into something beautiful
>and i'm still fighting for the words to break these chains.
and i still pray when i look in your eyes, you'll stare right back down into something beautiful
>close my eyes and hold my heart
cover me and make me something
change this something normal into something beautiful

thats a fantastic song don't you think? and those are just the lyrics! it has such a gorgous sound to it that it makes at all the better. i mean, honestly. i heard that with mybe and her mom on our way back fromrhode island. it was greaaatt!
well you masy be wondering where i 've been fopr the past couple of days. did i tell you about lexington? i can't remember now, but i will later if i find that i havn't yet. well, i've been having yet another adventure for the [ast few days.
my dad picked me up on wednesday night and i slept over his house in swampscott. then we awoke at about 4 on thursday morning, and drove for 4and 1/2 hours to NY. we went to cooperstown to the National Baseball Hall of Fame!!!! when we arrived i was absolutley STUNNED. its in the middle of NOWHERE! ti htink the whole population is made up of farmers. it was incredible. you'd think that such a memoprable and great national place would be located in some big city, but nope, the sign said "Welcome to the village of Cooperstown" and they weren't kiddding. but anyway, there were some wiiicked cool exhibits there, and my dad was LOSING HIS MIND. we was liek "OOO WHATS THIS ONE!?" "OOO WHATS THAT ONE!?" hahaha i love my dadddyy. well, boy oh boy he was probably the most excited guy there to see curt shillings sock. he's liek "oh now we have to go to the red soxs exhibit, THEY HAVE HIS BLOODY SOCK ON DISPLAY.. YES" so of course we went to go see the bloody sock. haha, my dad got a picture. interestingly engouh, of the ten pictures he took only one will come out. being the observative (yeah, right) guy he is, he didnt see the big flash button on the camera, and then was complaining about it after the fact, that all his pictures were gonna come out dark because "there was no flash button"... priceless. anyway after our visit we ate at a tiny diner and while my dad was reading a newspaper (which he rarley ever does) i was havin a blast watchin these two girls try and flirt with these 4 guys sitting at the table next to them. hahahah. i could hear what the guys were saying about the girls and it was pretty funny. they were crackin jokes and stuff that the girls couldnt hear. and then i was hearin the girls saying how "the one with the sunglass is kinda cute" and it was like "AHHH GIRL GET YOUR EYES CHECKED" but no i didnt really say that. i was too busy laughing my ass off internally. but then we drove about 6 hours back to swampscott. on friday, today, we went into boston and walked around for basically the entire day! no joke. the only time we werent walking around was for about 45 minutes at the pizza palce that has the worlds biggest slice. its this poalce by fenway, i dono what its called but it has the name bill in it. well after taht we went to yawkey way and went into the big souvenier shop there, which i had never been to, which is wierd cuz i;'ve been there SOOOO many times. well, we bought tickets to the fenway park tour!!! (OH YEAH I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT WHEN I WENT TO HICKTOWN USA (COOPERSTOWN) I GOT A HAT AS A SOUVENIER, IT SAYS "BASEBALL HALL OF FAME" ON IT... OO YEAH... SHNAZZZY) aaaand my dad got me my birthday present! yeah.. i know.. 5 months early. hahah but oh well. its two tickets to fenway park. its the day after my birthday, and we're playing.. tampa bay? i believe so, something like that. only two, which means that me and a friend get to go into boston alone and see the sox play. WOO HOO!!!! road trip! actaully, no, i'lll only be 16... so it'll be a train trip. close enough. ANY TAKERS!? who wants to see the sox?? you have to tell me if you're interested. please. its a thursday night at 7. which means that it'll prob be a sleep over. woo a sleepover on a school night. oo la la, how daring! so the tour was really cool. i got to go in to the .406 club! wow what a nice place! and theres another club, the national hall of fame club (hmm sound familiar?) and we got to go in there which was aweeesome. so i guess seats in the .406 club are 108,000$ aaaand theres a three year waiting list. NICE huh? we got to go on the green monster too, and sit in the seats up there. did you know that the only way you can get tickets up there is through a lottery?! i had no idea! the front rows, the first and second, are 100$ a ticket if you win the lottery. so if they pick your name, they call you up and ask you if you want 4 seats for 100$ in the first or second row, or 80$ for the third row, or 30$ for standingf room in the back for an importnat game (opening day, fathers day, any holiday, play off games, any game against the yankees(hahahah i thihnk thats so great!) OR 80$ for the first and second rows or $60? i think? for the third row or 25$ for standing room. hmm. nice. also, i learned that last year there were 3 people who werent paying attention during the game up there who broke there nose by getting hit with a home run. HAHAHAHA. WAY TO GO BUDDY. wow, could you imagine! i'd be so ticked off. well, it may all average out if i got to keep the ball. hahah. they're gonna tear down teh .406 club at the end opf the year, because no one likes how its sound proof. i woudlnt like it. i mean, honestly!! you go in and sit down to watch the longest silent film of your life hahaha. all this action but nothing to go with it. they're gonna add more seats and a bigger lounge. haha BIGGER. they cant deal with just a lounge, they want a SPECIAL one. wow. talk about G R E E D Y. theres 35, 094 seats in fenway park. i couldbe like, 2 or 3 off but its around there somewhere. so then after alllllll that i fannallly came back home to ipswich.
the walk for hawk is on sunday. everyone really wants me to go but i dono... i would, but 1. i have no sponsers and i dont want to have to do that last minute buyt then again i dont wan tto show up empty handed and 2. i was really hoping on haning out with kris.
he's back from missouri!!! he came home today. it figures that he just HAD to go away for an entire week.. the few days when i'm not doing anything. well i do have this whole upcoming week of doing nothing after school cuz my doctor wont let me run track. yeah i know this completely SUCKS.
i have to start physical therepy sometime soon. and keep it up three times a week. great! at least i only have one more week of waiting out till i can go back to running. my yiayia gave me this stuff called arnica, and its this lotion gel stuff that supposibly helps mussels and stuff, but its def. NOT working. oh well, it was worth a shot.
i'm learning a new song on mi guitarra! 'babe i'm gonna leave you' by led zeppelin. aww its sooo pretty! i love the beginning. it's taking forever to learn, its not that the notes are hard or anything, i just have a horrible memory, so i can never practice without the tabs right there in front of me.
but anyway, thats whats new with me.
i have my computor on my lap right now and its BURNING my legs. i think i should probably wrap this up soon. not my computor, my situation, ya know, this entry, ok yeah um.. hmm .. ANYWAY
i LOVE the weaather we've been having! it's been GREAT! i am def living somewhere warm when i grow up. i cant stand anything under 55. but not too too hot. 70's are perfect! shorts and tank top weather is all i ask for, with not too much wind. and no bugs!!! i hate bugs. just ask mybe, she can tell you allll about how paranoid i am about getting bitten by mosquitos, or even being near them or feeling them land on me. ahh i'm getting goosebumps just thinking about it!
woo hoo! GUESS WHO JUST GOT INVITED TO SING IN A BAND!? yep.. me! this is GREAT! i only know one kid, and that would be pete. i love to sing! red hot chilli peppers, jet, jimi hendrix (i just got a bunch of his shirts today too! nICE!) and the cars, whom i've neve rheard of but i do know one song only cuz its on a comercial.
anyway, i have a job interview to be a camp counsiler in exactly a week! the Y got a new supervisor for the camp, which is a huge buymmer cuz now i dono if i'll get the position. dave was the old one, and i knew him from camp last year and basketball and such, oh well. its a 5:40 with this guy named dan fortunado, and its 20 minutes long. WOO HOO! now we're talkin! i need this job. i have no income whatsoever. and my moms purse does NOT count. hahah
well li'm off to talke more with pete about this whole band thing.
with gratitude that kris is finally back from his trip, anticipation to see how this singing thing plays out, a brand new hat from hicktown USA, and a red hot chilli peppers cd playing in the backround...
