Inquieta. That's how I feel; that's what I am. I know I'm not easily pleased with anything really, but lately I've felt even more restless and damn empty. It's strange. I know it's not a some PMS-related mood-swing. I've never been like this. But it's come in waves since I got to Duke. I've looked forward to being in college for so many years and here I am and I'm still unsatisfied. It's more than unsatisfied--I just don't care about anything. I need to read hundreds of pages by Monday and I can't stir myself to do it right now. I've made friends of course, but there are people in my dorm who I've decided I just can't be bothered to befriend. Why do _I_ have to do everything anyway?
Yesterday I talked to a guy here for two hours, a guy who started out just as an acquaintance and definitely not a love interest. But it's morphing into something else and if I give that extra push I think I might actually have a relationship. I don't want to give the push though. Why do _I_ have to do it? I'm freaking tired of taking initiative. Don't other people care enough about me to help me out once in a while? Can't this guy assist me in taking the next step instead of me finding him at a party, calling his attention to me, making sure he's not completely wasted, etc.? Maybe I'll get drunk tonight and maybe that will help me care. Or maybe it'll force other people to give a damn what's going on with me. Or maybe everyone will ignore my needs as usual.
I'm really not selfish. I swear I'm not. But I feel empty and no one needs me either really. My best friend won't answer her phone or talk to me when we're both on facebook and I know she's not ignoring me, that it's just coincidence, but I need her for heaven's sake. She's so fucking wrapped up in her boyfriend, who she started dating a WEEK after starting college, that she honestly doesn't care about anyone else right now. But I need her to. Can't I need things once in a while?
I'm so sick of caring that I think I've forgotten how to. I'm inquieta. Restless. Empty.

It was just one of Zane’s idiosyncrasies.
Cold water had never deterred the fair skin of his hands, his feet, nor any other body part. In fact, he reveled in it. His roommate, Kunthan, had once made the mistake of slipping into the shower Zane had just used, the icy water still running. It was one of the few moments in his life that the stolid man had been that close to squealing. And not a manly squeal either but a high-pitched, girly squeal.
Thus, it was without hesitation that Zane idly submerged his hands in the Pacific Ocean’s frosty salt water, allowing his fingers to chase minnows away. He lay sprawled on a small boat dock, shirt sleeves rolled to his elbows.
In the distance, he could make out two girls in a rowboat, one with flaxen hair, chattering away in her normal fashion. Her companion spoke occasionally but preferred to gaze out at the rippling expanse of blue surrounding her. In doing so, she eventually turned her head to him. Unable to actually see her wide sapphire eyes, he imagined them fixing upon his figure. He stared back at her, lips quirking.
She hurriedly looked away.
As if experiencing a revelation, Zane thought to himself as he continually clenched his fist in the cool water that no matter how he tried to hold on to the silvery liquid, it always managed to slip from his grasp.

Hurray for the miracle that is summer vacation. Three months of lazing and sunshine and oblivion! Which, I might add, allows me time to write more and to get into shape. I've begun this new program of mine: the "sexy-summer-body program." Yes. So I am going to the gym at least twice a week so that I can fall prey to all the lovely chocolates we have at home and not worry about gaining weight. Yaya.
Speaking of the gym I was there the other day, working that stepper-machine-thing. My headphones are plugged into the little radio they have attached to the machine and a song comes up on the radio, one that I've never heard of. It just...inspired me. I MUST write an Usagi/Mamoru songfic for it. Here are some of the lyrics:
When you make your angry face
That makes me wanna just take off all your clothes
And sex you all over the place
Could it be the lil' way you storm around
That makes me wanna tear you down
Baby, I'm not sure, but one thing that I do know is
Every time you scream at me
I wanna kiss you
Huh huh? Good huh? Perfect, no?
.............................
If ANY of you actually took me seriously I intend to tear you limb from limb. Ne-Yo songfics are definitely not my style. You better know that already.

Insert several squees!!!!!!!!!!!! Tomorrow I am going to Costa Rica. Think of it! Wow. Costa Rica. Say it with me. Costa Rrrrica. Rolling the r's is very important.
I will be there for a week, and it seems that that whole week will be packed, what with volcanoes, waterfalls, horseback riding, river rafting, and rainforests. Yes, I'm spoilt, no need to tell me. But really, I can't help being excited. And to make everything so much better I'm going with my friends, my best friends and a few others. I simply can't wait!

I solemnly swear that I will quit changing my icons because it must be driving people (me especially) insane. But doesn't Legolas look sexy in my new one?
Anyway, Christmas vacation has been going nicely. Next week, back to school. Yech.

*cries* I feel like shit. I don't think I'll be on the computer for a while, my head hurts too much. I think it might explode, which might make for an interesting spectacle, but I'd rather it didn't. I know I'm being a whiner, so I'll stop. *goes off to take Advil and blame sister for getting me sick*

All I Want For Christmas Is You |
] |
All right, the first day of winter vacation! So, so very happy I could sing! But I won't, so not to worry. I can finally get back to my writing! Currently I am working on two drabbles: Cape and Pandora's Box. Pandora's Box is a random piece, a little too quirky. Cape is better, I think. And I can get to revising my Ami/Zoi fic! I deleted it, since I plan to radiclly edit it. Oh, and I have to go to my friends' party and see the many newly-release movies and...well, you get the point.

Hehe, school was pretty fun. My friend, the "calm" one, was very hyperactive and was literally jumping around. I've been collecting user pics and I love my Hayden and Michiru ones! Hayden is the reason Star Wars catches my attention. *Sighs*

So, I have to finish reading Como Agua Para Chocolate by Monday, and I'm frustrated. Don't get me wrong, it's a great book, but I don't like being rushed when it comes to reading Spanish. I'm a slow reader of the Spanish language, especially when Esquivel starts using old/obscure Spanish words that the writers of my S/E dictionary have never heard of. Like "zootropo." What on Earth does that mean? Okay, done whining. But other than that, it's worth looking up if you're in a bookstore and understand Spanish.

Haha! I think I know how to do a successful lj-cut now. I know I didn't do it for Dragonfly, but I had no idea how to do the cut. Hopefully, all will go well when I post my next drabble.
The Thanksgiving holidays have begun and I'm just giddy with happiness. I really needed a break from school and a chance to write and laze and eat and watch movies. So hip, hip, hurrah!

Memory--Sugarcult |

She stood at the prow of the rowboat, and for some reason, his eyes of midnight-blue couldn't, wouldn't leave her figure.
Her back was to him so that he could see the delicate curvature of her spine. She faced the delightful warmth of the sun as it bathed her in its golden light and he was sure her features were sparkling with joy. It was a lovely day, but really, it was nothing to her.
He didn't notice the sly looks Motoki shot him, the same Motoki who had literally dragged him out of his apartment for a day with the girls. The same Motoki who'd accidentally plunked him on the head with his oar five seconds after they'd left land. Who was Motoki again?
Her arms were outstretched, her lavender-blue wrap spreading with them, fluttering in the tender breeze that sifted through her pigtails and caressed her flushed cheek. The light caused the wrap to appear iridescent and glimmering, like the wings of a dragonfly.
That's it, he thought to himself. She's a dragonfly. Gliding across the smooth lake waters without a care in the world.
And then he, the frog, intent upon taking the dragonfly's pleasure, had to let its tongue loose: "Hey Odango, move your big head so other people can see!"
She pivoted, about to retort, one hand releasing an end of her gossamer wrap. Somehow she tangled herself in it and tripped. Her golden antennae flew out as she slammed into the water with the grace of...well, definitely not a dragonfly. SPLASH!
Dragonfly overboard.

Dunno what I think of this. It's my first drabble, so I can't really compare it to any of my other drabbles, being that I have no other drabbles. Yeah.

Hey Driver--Lucky Boys Confusion |

Oh joy! I saw Harry Potter 4 on Saturday and loved it! Of course, that may have something to do with the fact that the fourth book is my favorite, but still. The special effects were amazing, the acting was superb and moving(especially Harry's, who has blossomed over the years {bath scene, anyone?}), and the humor, which is important to me, right on target. What's next, now that I've seen it?
I'll see it again! Hopefully...
