Tonight after Danceworks (eeeeeeeeeeeeeee!) I went to the 9/11 vigil. It was absolutely beautiful.. this is the community @ Cal I've become a part of and I can't wait to get more of it. There were many speakers from different organizations on campus and the former major of Berkeley spoke, too. The Golden Overtones and the Men's Octet sang well also. more on this later... must shower. oh, so as i'm walking up back to stern hall there's this dude in front of me.. and eventually i catch up with him cuz i walk a lil faster and he asks if i'm going to foothill and i say, "no, i'm in stern". and we start talking.. he's a cool dude. david (hmmmmm lauren.. there's a conspiracy of 'dave's) is a 2nd year and an exchange student from England. super funny and easy to talk to. classics major... and that is hecka tight cuz i love that greek/latin philosophy/ancient culture/literary stuff. yup. oh and the accent! it's too cute! i love a man with an accent... eeeeee! he was telling me how he's not used to this weather.. it's just too hot, i agree. and tuesday's rain WASN'T really rain at all... like a mini-drizzle/haze/fog... yeah. weather here has been really trippy lately... anyways. idk, maybe i'll see him again in the dining commons or not. it's a big unit. *sidenote: in the last 4 weeks or so, i've shaken SOOOO many hands! it's weird... it's like the adult thing to do. we never did this in high school and now all of a sudden whenever i meet someone i automatically extend my hand and introduce myself! hehe... whatever.
The Golden Overtones sang "And So It Goes" by Billy Joel... good song! (*ahem* so it goes! <--- hey, doesn't this sound familiar... hmmmmm??? lol *ahem*
In every heart there is a room
A sanctuary safe and strong
To heal the wounds from lovers past
Until a new one comes along
I spoke to you in cautious tones
You answered me with no pretense
And still I feel I said too much
My silence is my self defense
And every time I've held a rose
It seems I only felt the thorns
And so it goes, and so it goes
And so will you soon I suppose
But if my silence made you leave
Then that would be my worst mistake
So I will share this room with you
And you can have this heart to break
And this is why my eyes are closed
It's just as well for all I've seen
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows
So I would choose to be with you
That's if the choice were mine to make
But you can make decisions too
And you can have this heart to break
And so it goes, and so it goes
And you're the only one who knows
The Men's Octet sang "That Lonesome Road" by James Taylor
Walk down that lonesome road
All by yourself
Don't turn your head
Back over your shoulder
And only stop to rest yourself
When the silver moon
Is shining high above the trees
If I had stopped to listen once or twice
If I had closed my mouth and opened my eyes
If I had cooled my head and warmed my heart
I'd not be on this road tonight
Carry on
Never mind feeling sorry for yourself
It doesn't save you from your troubled mind
Walk down that lonesome road
all by yourself
Don't turn your head
Back over your shoulder
And only stop to rest yourself
when the silver moon
Is shining high above the trees |
