Belief makes things true...

This week is already insane. Editing, reading, meetings, more reading. I am not going to post for a while. I will try to give a brief summary of ongoings, thoughts, etc. at the end of the week. We had people over until late last night, so again, I got almost nothing accomplished save for my unit plan over the life of Sylvia Plath for Reading. I did get two CD's in the deal. Kris made me two awesome albums (one mellow, one chick-rock) and I have been excited about them all day!

Did you know that I am allergic to pecans...or maybe it's walnuts? I didn't. Either way, my mouth has been paying the price for the last two days. Damn those brownies with the pretty pink icing. They drew me in, made me want more, and I woke up itching. I am boycotting nuts. Who is with me?

Okay, anyway, I hope you all have a wonderful week. Read something thought provoking (Try Dust Tracks on a Road by Zora Neale Hurston and keep highlighters near by. I have gone through two already.), listen to good music (Gavin Degraw, Damien Rice, Elliot Smith), eat delicious food until you're full, laugh a lot, hug your friends, enjoy the autumn weather, and find your own place where you can be at peace and rest. I will write in a few days.

These lyrics are for you. I told you I would post them.

"Belief" by Gavin Degraw

Belief
makes things real
makes things feel
feel alright.
Belief
makes things true
things like you
you and I.
Tonight, you arrested my mind
when you came to my defense
with a knife
in the shape of your mouth,
in the form of your body
with the wrath of a god.
Oh, you stood by me.
Belief
builds from scratch
doesn't need to relax,
it doesn't need space.
Long live the queen and I'll be the king
in the collar of grace.
Tonight, you arrested my mind
when you came to my defense
with a knife
in the shape of your mouth
in the form of your body
with the wrath of a god.
Oh, you stood by me.
Belief
I'm going to yell it from the rooftops.
I'll wear a sign on my chest,
that's the least I can do.
Tonight, you arrested my mind
when you came to my defense
with a knife
in the shape of your mouth
in the form of your body
with the wrath of a god.
Oh, you stood by me.
Tonight, you arrested my mind
when you came to my defense
with a knife
in the shape of your mouth
in the form of your body
with the wrath of a god.
Oh, you stood by me.
And I'll stand by my
belief.
