Wittig knows chess

� YES! Success! New template, and it's perfect! Yay for summer! Yay for finally figuring out how to do this right!

� Ok, enough of that. Enter somberness. I am so tired of not being able to sleep.

� The circus is tonight.

� Petie and I got in trouble today at my work. Stupid phrase: "in trouble." Something about the twins being wannabe power-tripping managers and me vacuuming, not working hard enough and talking about Stuff instead.

� I was looking for him to stop by, like last time. Except this time maybe come in. It didn't happen.

� My new hippo's name is Wittig. Yolanda is the other.

� I remember Tristan whenever I make this sign. It was a special secret of ours. That was a blur. Mistletoe at Christmastime, I hacked into someone's email then. Weird times.

� Sarah said she would update but has yet to do so. And you too. Yeah, what about you?

� I scribbled out five long pages last night all about the crap running through my head. And then I read it aloud because "doing that makes it true." My throat hurt a little because I was whispering. I think things that are so secret. A secret is to be coveted. I don't think I can tell.

� I realized stuff after I wrote. Maybe that my life isn't comprised of a bunch of moves. Make a move, leesah. How about not. Life isn't chess/checkers/your board game of choice... at least mine isn't. I go when I please, not to be rushed, encouraged, or intimidated. <-- has the word "timid" in it. I am that.

� Yeah, so life isn't a game of chess, no it is not. And I don't have a legitimate argument to back this up, sorry. But I really don't think it is.

� I have a song, and it has a dedication, perhaps to you. The very last line is my favorite because it is so fun to sing!!!

"Chess" by Weezer

chess is such a difficult game

there are so many pieces

so many squares where you can go

so few promises

never you mind all the others

anticipating your next move

i know it's hard cause you got a lot to do

street signs and traffic lights ever confusing me it's you

stop left, go right, no U-turn, where's the goddamn exit

never you mind all the others

influencing your next move

i know it's hard cause you got a lot to prove

lalalalalalala~

sex and drugs and rock n' roll

pieces by rocking for you

this puzzle can't be done wrong

so cover 'em while you can

never you mind all the others

aniticipating your next move

never you mind all the others

never you mind what they do

don't let them get you down cause it's there too

you'll be trapped forever under their shoe

here is the paper so go

i know it's hard cause you got a lot to do

fa la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la~
