I got snow in my eye yesterday. It was glorious!

Bleu

I don't post much in here do I? Even when I've got time I've got nothing to say really. I could tell you about my holiday and all the fun things I did with my VIP but I doubt anyone much cares about that so I'll bombard you with pictures depicting it all instead.

This is Tom. He and I went to the park. He loves me times 38. Or someone with yellow spray paint does at least.
_IGP2334

He posed in trees.
_IGP2331

We went for walks in the woods.
_IGP2356

Across bridges.
_IGP2365

In front of waterfall.
_IGP2368

On top of mountain.
_IGP2374

_IGP2376

_IGP2390

With doggy along.
_IGP2388

And photo opportunities.
_IGP2391_1

_IGP2378

Then Tommy got sleepy.
_IGP2422

So I decided to draw on him.
_IGP2408

But he wasn't really asleep. He was making sure I was keeping within regulations. The drawing wasn't manly enough._IGP2405

I decided to join him.
_IGP2431

Except not.
_IGP2435

The next day there was a photo opportunity because Tom turned into some sort of religious figure.
_IGP2452

We did stuff and then we went to Edric's house and watched Lucas the dog chew on things.
_IGP2460

And I spent some time with a cup on my head.
_IGP2463

Next day we looked at pretty creatures.
_IGP2526

_IGP2499

_IGP2538

_IGP2546

And there were photo opportunities.
_IGP2504

_IGP2556

Tom turned into a scary fish.
_IGP2501

Then I took Tommy shooting because this is what 'Mericans do.
_IGP2467

_IGP2469

This was followed by a brief lunch inside the car.
_IGP2481

And then some more practice being badass and stuff.
_IGP2487

The last full day we drove around Atlanta.
_IGP2571

And I showed off my awesome sock.
_IGP2578

And we looked at ancient art stuff.
_IGP2579

_IGP2580

_IGP2581

And then at ourselves.
_IGP2589

And then at 4-D things.
_IGP2595

Then we went home and Tom got all squinty eyed about something in the car.
_IGP2607

His last day we looked at trees and stuff.
_IGP2626

And Tom likes to prod them.
_IGP2627

He has a deep affinity towards trees.
_IGP2636

And I have one towards him.
_IGP2630

_IGP2634

The end. I'm not sure why those last pictures are sideways.

"For The Widows of Paradise, For the Fatherless in Ypsilanti" by Sufjan Stevens

I've have called you children
I have called you son
What is there to answer
If I'm the only one
Morning comes in Paradise
Morning comes in light
Still I must obey
Still I must invite

If there's anything to say
If there's anything to do
If there's any other way
I'll do anything for you

I was dressed in embarassment
I was dressed in white
If you had a part of me
Will you take your time
Even if I come back
Even if I die
Is there some idea
To replace my life

Like a father to impress
Like a mother's mourning dress
If we ever make a mess
I'll do anything for you

I wish that I still cared about God. I'm so far away into myself that I'm not sure there's a way out. I'm sick of apathy but it's hard to make it go away.

In other news my friend, my lover, my VIP, my comrade, my bundle of joy, my thanksgiving, my passion, my favorite waste of time, my homes, my dude, my hottie, my linguist, my rockstar, my etc. is wrapped up in one package called Tomface. He will come to save me from the boredom of the holidays. And maybe I won't be so lonely and apathetic for a week at least. I'd thank God but I don't feel like I mean anything I say. I just hope I can love more than enough.

Suddenly I feel like I'm not even a person. Why do I even voice any thoughts? I'm just here and the real Emily is somewhere else being a person. But maybe not that. Just think that I'm here and then gone. I wonder if this is humility but I doubt it.

Whoever Brought Me Here Should Take Me Home

All day I think about it, then at night I say it.
Where did I come from, and what am I supposed to be doing?
I have no idea.
My soul is from elsewhere, I'm sure of that,
and I intend to end up there.

This drunkenness began in some other tavern.
When I get back around to that place,
I'll be completely sober. Meanwhile,
I'm like a bird from another continent, sitting in this aviary.
The day is coming when I fly off,
but who is it now in my ear who hears my voice?
Who says words with my mouth?

Who looks out with my eyes? What is the soul?
I cannot stop asking.
If I could taste one sip of an answer,
I could break out of this prison for drunks.
I didn't come here of my own accord, and I can't leave that way.
Whoever brought me here, will have to take me home.

This poetry. I never know what I'm going to say.
I don't plan it.
When I'm outside the saying of it,
I get very quiet and rarely speak at all.

Berry

I'm at college now. I feel quite alone so much of the time, but mostly not much of anything. I don't know who I am anymore, like I can't even remember my name it seems. Tomorrow is the first day of classes so hopefully I will like things better by then.
