When she says margarita she means daiquiri.
When she says quixotic she means mercurial.
And when she says, "I'll never speak to you again,"
she means, "Put your arms around me from behind
as I stand disconsolate at the window."
He's supposed to know that.
When a man loves a woman he is in New York and she is in Virginia
or he is in Boston, writing, and she is in New York, reading,
or she is wearing a sweater and sunglasses in Balboa Park and he
is raking leaves in Ithaca
or he is driving to East Hampton and she is standing disconsolate
at the window overlooking the bay
where a regatta of many-colored sails is going on
while he is stuck in traffic on the Long Island Expressway.
When a woman loves a man it is one ten in the morning
she is asleep he is watching the ball scores and eating pretzels
drinking lemonade
and two hours later he wakes up and staggers into bed
where she remains asleep and very warm.
When she says tomorrow she means in three or four weeks.
When she says, "We're talking about me now,"
he stops talking. Her best friend comes over and says,
"Did somebody die?"
When a woman loves a man, they have gone
to swim naked in the stream
on a glorious July day
with the sound of the waterfall like a chuckle
of water rushing over smooth rocks,
and there is nothing alien in the universe.
Ripe apples fall about them.
What else can they do but eat?
When he says, "Ours is a transitional era,"
"that's very original of you," she replies,
dry as the martini he is sipping.
They fight all the time
It's fun
What do I owe you?
Let's start with an apology
Ok, I'm sorry, you dickhead.
A sign is held up saying "Laughter."
It's a silent picture.
"I've been fucked without a kiss," she says,
"and you can quote me on that,"
which sounds great in an English accent.
One year they broke up seven times and threatened to do it
another nine times.
When a woman loves a man, she wants him to meet her at the
airport in a foreign country with a jeep.
When a man loves a woman he's there. He doesn't complain that
she's two hours late
and there's nothing in the refrigerator.
When a woman loves a man, she wants to stay awake.
She's like a child crying
at nightfall because she didn't want the day to end.
When a man loves a woman, he watches her sleep, thinking:
as midnight to the moon is sleep to the beloved.
A thousand fireflies wink at him.
The frogs sound like the string section
of the orchestra warming up.
The stars dangle down like earrings the shape of grapes.

I’m really, really late on this news but…
I just learned that there’s a class at the University of Florida….
based on Starcraft 2?
LOL
That is really cool but at the same time, really stupid. XD
The class is called…. “21st Century Skills in Starcraft”
LOLOL
And it’s an online-only, honours class. HAHAHA
That’s funny.
I imagine all the Asian guys moving to Florida now.

While talking to my friend, I told her how much I dislike it when people keep on asking me “wuttup” every five minutes…
This is what I said:
I always say “Same thing as five minutes ago” whenever people keep on asking me “wuttup”. It’s like “gosh darn it. since the last time you asked me, 5 minutes ago, a comet smashed through my window and aliens crawled out and tried to abduct me, but I shot rainbows at them, and then they died, so the FBI rewarded me with an honoury badge of national merit” Gosh.
Seriously. Gosh darn it. XD Ask me something else. Anything.
“How’s the weather?” or “Have any rabid bunnies eaten your face lately?” or “So… Zac Efron is pretty hot, huh?”
Seriously. Anything but asking me “wuttup?” every gosh darn 5 minutes.

I was going to just include this in my [planned… not yet written] post about the events of today.
Today was a funny, yet embarrassing, unfortunate day. That’s why I wanted to write a recap of it.
However, my math class was just impeccable. It really shined above all. XD Within less than an hour (one class period), I got the best, free ab workout. I have not laughed so hard like this in awhile.
I love my math teacher.
Here goes…
