oh my darlin

hmm. i had no idea "Oh my darling, Clementine" was about this:

In a cavern, in a canyon,
Excavating for a mine
Dwelt a miner forty niner,
And his daughter Clementine

Oh my darling, Oh my darlin,
Oh my darling Clementine
Thou art lost and gone forever,
Dreadful sorry, Clementine

Light she was and like a fairy,
And her shoes were number nine,
Wearing boxes, without topses,
Sandals were for Clementine.

She drove ducklings to the water
Ev’ry morning just at nine,
Hit her foot against a splinter,
Fell into the foaming brine.

Ruby lips above the water,
Blowing bubbles, soft and fine,
But, alas, I was no swimmer,
So I lost my Clementine.

How I missed her! How I missed her,
How I missed my Clementine,
But I kissed her little sister,
I forgot my Clementine.

Then the miner, forty niner
Soon began to peak and pine
Thought he ought to join his daughter
Now he's with his Clementine

In a churchyard near the canyon
Where the myrtle doth entwine
There grows roses and the posies
Fertilized by Clementine

In my dreams she still doth haunt me
Robed in garments, soaked in brine
Then she rises from the waters
And I kiss my Clementine


now that i know the full lyrics to this song, the name choice for kate winslet's character in eternal sunshine of the spotless mind is much more significant. (and no, i don't think it is a coincidence, because they make reference to the song in the film). i really like that.

like a stamp to a letter

listening to this on repeat today. such a cheery lovely song.

now off to work i go.

i've been having strange feelings lately.

oh my word. amazing.

the hurtin's on me yeah

p.s: step one for learning how to knit complete. yarn and needles = bought.

why, charlie brown, why?

i remember watching this episode when i was little about linus meeting a little girl with blonde hair who bruises easily. then we find out she has leukemia and loses all of her hair in chemo and people at school make fun of her. then one day she comes back and her hair is all grown back. this episode made me paranoid when i was little that i had leukemia because i was always bruising. of course i had no idea what that was anyway other than you'd go to the hospital and lose all of your hair. what a heavy message charlie brown.

a whole lotta blabbing

i finally went to a homeopathic doctor, and i found it really helpful! she took my blood and looked at it under a microscope which was hooked up to a tv so that i could see what she saw, and she explained to me what he different things that i was seeing meant. it really helped me get a new understanding of whats going on with my body and what i can/need to do to help it. as well, the appointment lasted about an hour and a half which was lovely in comparison to my normal doctor where there are so many patients and you're in and out in fifteen minutes.
i could literally go on for ages about the entire visit, it was really eye opening and informative. i'm really glad i went (even though it's not covered by health care so i had to fork over a pretty penny for it), it felt like it was worth every cent.

tomorrow morning, i start my new routine. i'm really excited to see what happens.

the closer i become to graduating university the more my mind runs wild with what will happen when i'm done. i just can't figure out if i'm being realistic or not. i may be day dreaming, i may not have the guts, etc. a lot can happen in four months...

i watched the film vicky christina barcelona the other day (which i enjoyed) and i felt like i really related to the character christina. one thing that was repeatedly said about christina that i really related to was that she doesn't know what she wants, but she knows what she doesn't want. i feel this way about certain aspects of my life. mostly when it comes to relationships. and even there, i do know what i want, but sometimes i'm just too afraid to take that leap.
i do know what i want out of life, love and work. my life must involve art, creativity, people and new experiences.

on thursday night i'm helping out with a really exciting show at the gallery i'm volunteering with. i've been looking forward to this show since i started and i feel like it's been months in the making, which it has, ut i mean, i feel like i've really contributed ot this show. i've been helping out with it from the beginning. i think it will be a great success, a great experience and a great learning opportunity! that sounds very cheesy and very interview-answer-esque, but i mean it!

on wednesday (the plan is that) i'm going to a knitting party, where (duh) i'll learn how to knit! new hobby here i come. if i'm any good at it, expect some funky (and hopefully well constructed) scarves for christmas.

i had one more thing to say, but i forget. so goodnight and i love you.

OH! i remembered. i want to do a painting. it will be long and skinny and feature several of my friends because they inspire me on a daily basis in every way possible.



man, i sound really cheesy on my blog.
