i'd sacrifice

i am on spring break. and i have an ipod. how could things be any better? i can think of two ways: (a) my spring break was much longer, letting me spend time doing more things i want to do, around people i want to be around; (b) i were already done writing my thesis rather than having to get a lot of work on it this break.

and things just keep adding up - i wanted a stress free, distraction free break, but my older brother came home (unexpected - good, but unexpected), and my parents decided that i should take a trip out to western south dakota for the next two days (unexpected - good, but unexpected) - it's almost too hard for me to process this decision right now - that's terrible, but true - i really want to see them, but i really don't want to make this trip - i just know it will wear me out, and i won't get to hang out with people with an overlapping weekend of spring break - i admit that i'm being somewhat cryptic/misleading - i won't get to hang out with one person in particular i want to spend time around. i don't get to see my neice/brother too often, but i've been anxiously waiting for two months to spend time in brookings.

so hopefully this break will be good, fun, relaxing, and productive. i personally think that's perhaps too much to ask of a week long break. little decisions like this are so hard for me, choosing between good things that are mutually exclusive. so wish for miracles for me. and listen to rilo kiley - they're awesome.

more adventurous by rilo kiley

and it's only doubts that we're counting
on fingers broken long ago
i read with every broken heart
we should become more adventurous

and if you banish me from your profits
and if i get banished from the kingdom up above
i'd sacrifice money and heaven all for love
let me be loved
let me be loved

and if my brain quits
well i guess then that's just it
and if my hands stop workin'
you can call me lazy
and if i get pregnant
i guess i'll just have the baby
let it be loved
let me be loved

i've been tryin' to nod my head
but it's like i've got a broken neck
i wanna say i will
as my last testament
for me to be saved and you to be brave
we don't have to walk down that aisle
because if marriage ain't enough well
at least we'll be loved

i felt the wind on my cheek
comin' down from the east
and thought about how we are all
as numerous as leaves on trees
and maybe ours is the cause of all
mankind getting love make more
try to stay alive

i've been tryin' to nod my head
but it's like i've got a broken neck
i wanna say i will
as my last testament
for me to be saved and you to be brave
we don't have to walk down that aisle
because if marriage ain't enough well
at least we'll be loved
