Capricorns are Practical, Prudent, Ambitious, Disciplined, Patient, Careful, Humorous and Reserved. Capricorns are ambitious, hard working and never lose sight of their goals. It is not uncommon for Capricorns to be arrogant and overbearing while on their march to success. Capricorns are industrious and detail oriented. They are not ones to take risks, which means they often have to wait for success. Being patient and confident they will succeed, the wait for glory is no problem for them. Capricorns are rational and never have bursts of emotions. Sometimes they can be a bit greedy, but their devotion to work and family offsets this easily. Although their ambition may seem limitless, Capricorns never resort to cheating to succeed. When success does come to them, they find it very fulfilling, because they attained it their way. In love Capricorns are a slow starters, but prove to be explosive performers and long lasting, loyal companions. When aroused, Capricorns are enthusiastic and adventurous in the art of love, but can be possessive and jealous when threatened. Partners can sometimes be overwhelmed by the intensity of their passion, coming as it does from beneath such a cool exterior. In marriage they are loyal, good providers and strive to develop a strong home environment.
Capricornians are basically competent, down-to-earth and result-oriented. They are usually hard workers. They love to organize and are willing to discipline themselves, shoulder responsibility and plan ahead in order to achieve their ambitions. Capricornians are conservative. Some of them like their possessions, such as their cars, home and clothing, to be classical and elegant, while others focus primarily on functionality and practicality. Most of them are perfectionists. Being ambitious and innately responsible, Capricornians
dislike disorganization, sloppiness and irresponsible behavior. Capricornians have a hard time dealing with people who don't keep their promises, are chronically late or are not willing to shoulder responsibility. Capricornians are especially well suited for business, politics, management and leadership roles. They tend to be a little stiff, both physically and mentally, and need to learn not to be too serious. Many Capricornians do have a good sense of humor, and use jokes to lighten their own and other people's souls.
In a relationship, Capricorns are a slow starters, but prove to be explosive performers and long-lasting, loyal companions. They are quite skilled with people, once they overcome their initial reserve. When aroused, Capricorns are enthusiastic and adventurous in the art of love, but can be possessive and jealous when threatened. Partners can sometimes be overwhelmed by the intensity of their passion, coming as it does from beneath such a cool exterior. In marriage they are loyal, good providers and strive to develop a strong home environment. Capricorns strive to conceal their vulnerability beneath a confident veneer of ambition and material success, but passionate Mars is always bubbling just below the surface. When the curtain is lifted, the passion flows like lava from an erupting volcano. Indeed, when they are sure of their ground, they delight in living up to the randy reputation of the Goat.

we must be sisters: we have the same eyes.
well might i warn you that people here sometimes read them too (so i recently found out) and they love you for it. they think what you write is great. and so do i. so maybe you're surrounding yourself with the wrong people. and its not that they arent good people. in fact, that may be their problem: their insatiable urge to help others which turns into an unstoppable need to control your life. or maybe they think that being a good friend is sheltering you. or making sure you keep away from pain or something they may not approve of.
and maybe joe makes me a bad friend. but i think pain is what helps us appreciate what is good. and i may let you do something that feels good at the time but then brings you crashing down. but unlike the others who stive to drag you upwards with them, i will be her at the bottom, lying next to you in my bunk bed, listening to your problems.
and thats what i look for in someone. not someone who wants to help me with by problems. but someone who wants to hear them and wants to understand. and then lets me solve them by myself.
and that's why i dont think you should go to BYU. because it is full of good people. but here at CMU and hundreds of other universities there are great people. and these great people drink and go out and party. and have one night mistaken hook ups. and these great people fall.
but unlike the good people, these great people dont want to fix you. they care. and they do so in a way that makes you feel loved and supported and unjudged. and you want to go to them. and tell them your problems.
and lie with them in bunk beds after you make your mistakes.

so who's going to watch you die?
it's an interesting way to prioritize. is that bad to base my life around death? think about it. If, before you made every decision in your life, you asked yourself: will i regret not doing this when i am about to die? or will this be important by the time i die?
and that "life-flashing-before-your-eyes" thing? apparently its real. but in shaded of blue. and when my life flashes quickly before my eyes, what is it that i will remember? it wont be the D on my physics test. it wont be that trivial argument we got in last week. hell, it wont even be that huge fight we got in in middle school. It wont be the fact that i've never been pulled over. or the countless times i blew my curfew.
no. i will remember our times down on the river. and that time we DIDNT skinny dip. and the time when other you and i did. and i proceed to flash my girl parts to everyone.
and i'll remember my puppy. and i'll remember volleyball and track and how they corrupted me. and how i corrupted you. and i'll remember the time we sat on the beach despite the sound of the tsunami warning. not because everyone else was staying. but because we were together. and together, we're invincible.
and i will remember CMU. i'll remember grey's night. and the night we shared secrets. and i'll remember bus rides. who could forget? and i'll remember back in the good old days how i got the best roommate ever.
and i wont just remember the good times. i'll remember the trials. our trial. but i'll realize how strong it has made me. and i'll take comfort in knowing i'll be with you soon.
and when i am with you, everything will be fine. because together we will be invincible. and i will never sacrifice you, compromise you, or take you forgranted.
so who's going to watch you die? who's going to watch me die?
you, dedicated bffn, i know you'll be there. you are the kindest most sypathetic individual i know. and i know you would drop everything to be with me. so despite the stress you place upon yourself, i truly believe you have your priorities in check. thats because i am first on you list of priorities, right?
and you, other bff. you'll be there too. no doubt about it. and you will take my mind off of it. because you are the most energetic person i know. and together we may beat the odds: we might cry. despite the lack of teasrs escaping our eyes the last time i left. you'd send me flowers and probably know exactly what to bring me: york peppermint patties and a cosmo.
you, unreachable, taken you: you'll come. because despite your efforts to be bad ass. you're a great guy. and you would make me laugh.
and you, my old you. you will come. but the pressure will be too much. you'll cry like usually. and i'll try to cry like i used to.
and you, undesired but irresistable you, you might come. maybe once. but i sort of think it might scare you. not in a pussy way. but i think it would be too much.
and you, fu you: i am pretty sure you would come. multiple times. and A you would probabkly tag along when you could.
and official best roommate ever: you would be there. and you'd make me laugh too. we'd laugh about annoying kid and perfect girl and hermione and briere's drawrs, idears, alwahs, and now dorings. we'd laugh, i'm sure of it.
and i am sure that you too would come visit me. or so you tell yourself.

sweaty pits and heavy petting: this is only a sequel to that thing called high school.
12:01 i'm writing the essay that determines a fourth of my GPA. i'm producing excess saliva that tastes of dark chocolate m&ms and sugar cookies. christmas lights lines my bed. i dont feel warm or cold. i dont feel anything.
12:03 procrastinating the essay the determines a fourth of my GPA. deciding i need to put on comfier underwear to go to bed. listening to the conversations that surround me.
12:05 thinking about how people could potentially be reading this. and i dont know who they are. and therefore i shouldnt say some of the things i do. so i remove the notes from my facebook.
12:08 contemplating winter break with my roomfellows. who apparently will experience TSS over break? my condolences.

amongst vending machines and old magazines, in a place where we only say good bye, as the tv entertained itself...
it snowed today. big flakes. white. pure. frequent. unaltered. untouched.
there is something bigger you know? than measily quarrels. and frivolous crushes. and passing whims.
and why do we associate white with pure? isnt white a mix of every color in nature? and if this white is a mix of every color, does that make us as a whole pure? not at all. but it is amazing to think each snowflake, no matter how small. contains every color imaginable.
but still, when we think white, we think pure. and not much can be done to change that. what people think of something. what people think of us.
at first i am the awkward girl. then i am the blunt girl. then i am the funny girl. then i am the emotionless girl. then i am the boring girl. and no one gets past that. well, you did. but we like to pretend that didnt happen. when we talk about the girl you love. but you knew i wasn't awkward. or blunt. or funny. or emotionless. or boring.
but that is what they think. and i am fine with that. that's the girl i pretend to be. i dont know why. cause these traits i aquire aren't exactly desirable. but it is who i chose to be to you.

and when i see you....i really see you upside down
but my mind knows better. it picks you up and turns you around.
i'm thankful too. for a lot of things. and i have really small insignificant problems. well i really can't think of many.
but i am thankful. so thankful. for:
i'm thankful too. for a lot of things. and i have really small insignificant problems. well i really can't think of many.
but i am thankful. so thankful. for:
- my fam- miss 'em as much as i pretend not to miss anything.
- rachael's fam- for taking me in
- my roommate- who's awesome.
- my friends at home- who keep me informed on the happenings of the homelife and remind why i love sherwood.
- food- i think i am loosing weight here. these people dont eat often enough.
- my lovely readership- the best morman ever.
- books and magazines- which make life more interesting
- almond roca- for making me fat and happy
- my college friends- who made this whole new experience amazing and siginificantly less terrifying.
- bitter people- who let you know that things could always be worse than they are.
- christmas lights- which remind me of the happiest, warmest memories of completeness where i need nothing but the fam.
- my little baby pup- whom i miss more than anything on the west coast.
- fall- which makes the cold much more bearable.
- my lack of ass- which makes me significantly less whore-ish.
- john mayer- who understands all that has to do with life, love, and other mysteries.
- the color purple- which is unique and deep but fun.
- blogging- which gives me an amazing outlet for this emo side of me. probably clouding your sense of me as the strong, emotionless rock.
- piano playing- which makes me feel like everything in the world will be alright in the end. those songs that go on forever. and have their ups and down. and just when you think they are about to end, they pick up again, stronger than before. and they remind you of yourself. and you smile.
and now onto the hot mess of stuff that get's my panties in a bunch but really isnt that bad:
- not getting to go home- because i just want to drive that familiar drive to starbucks and sit down with my friends. and laugh over thanksgiving dinner with my fam. and cuddle with my dog who love more than anything else as i fall asleep.
- not having anything in the world i love more than cuddling with my dog- i'd like for this hole to be filled with a person. and i realize that takes time. perhaps a lifetime. but i want it now. i want it back.
- fat- and it is my own fault. because i am too lazy to workout. so that is my post thanksgiving resolution. yep. and sticking to it.
- my weakness for bad guys- it needs to stop because i win great guys. hell one of my best guy friends is the GREATEST guy ever. like perfect. and i am not attracted to that. WHY!!??!!??
and these are my issues. but i'm losing any sleep over them. i have no control over them. there is no point in this world in worrying. it wastes time for action.
