heart inside your hand

I finished Wallflower and it was beautiful.

Currently listening to: Rolling in the Deep (Jamie XX Shuffle)- Adele

This blog post was pointless, :)

awful blasted boring

I am reading the Perks of Being a Wallflower and I am beyond obsessed with it.
Boys, you are all exactly the same.
Love,
Loch.

Chapter three will be up in the next two days, or when i finish Wallflower, whichever happens first. I have a feeling it'll be when I finish the book.

boys, boys, boys,

You left your blood stain on the floor, you set your sights on him.
You left a handprint on the door, like all the boys before.
This is our luck baby, running out,
her clothes were never off, we still have our lives to run about,
To scale the mountain, to get us back on track,
like all the boys before, like all the boys before,
like all the boys before, like all the boys, boys, boys, boys,

In here the world won't bring us down,
our plan is golden, out there a lonely girl could drown,
in here we're frozen.
Where did the people go? My hands are empty,
You're not the answer, I should know,
like all the boys before, like all the boys before.

We're in a mess baby, we're in a mess babe.
Your more is less, babe.
We're under the sheets and you're killing me,
in our house made of paper, and your words all over me,
we're under the sheets and you're killing me,

I've seen you in a fight, you lost.

<3 Ellie Goulding

Peace out study time,
Loch.

my body glows

My freshman year of college will be over in less than 36 hours. 
I would like to preface this by saying that I am beyond obsessed with my friends. There is nothing in the world that makes me happier than looking through facebook pictures of us being dumb. I love everyone I've met here so so so much, <3 <3 :)
Also, I would like to say that people have flaws and everyone should get over it. We would all be much happier if we would just chill about the things that are wrong and start embracing the things that are right. :)


I LOVE YOU i'm sorry I was gone so long,
loch.

Atlantic

I hope all my days will be lit by your face,
I hope all the years will hold tight to our promise.

I don't wanna be old and sleep alone,
an empty house is not a home,
I don't wanna be old and sleep alone.

And if I need anything at all,
I need a place that's hidden in the deep,
where lonely angels sing you to sleep
though all the world is broken.
I need a place, where I can make my bed
a lover's lap, where I can lay my head.
Cause now the room is spinning,
The day's beginning.

getting older

The school year is coming to a close, and the ways that I've changed are looming over me more and more each day.
I feel restless and anxious and happy but never satisfied with what I have in front of me, and I'm running out of TV shows and books to occupy myself. It's like there's something I need to do desperately but I have no idea what it is and I can't stop searching for it until I find it, and there are things I know I need to do like schoolwork and writing but my motivation seems to have run off somewhere because I sure as hell can't find it. Things are evolving and changing but I can't tell if I'm keeping up or not, and I find myself wishing that the school year could last just a little bit longer, because when I figure things out, it'll probably be in Austin. I don't really know where my home is anymore.
I know exactly who I am and who I'm going to be. The problem is, I don't know if I'm ready to be her yet.

Sorry I'm depressing and weird? hahahh.

roll with us

Another all nighter. What would it be without a blog post?
I guess it's not so bad this time. I slept until four in the afternoon yesterday because I was sick. I'm done now and I don't have to be in class for another two and a half hours, but what would the point in sleeping really be? I'm just going to stay up and write, or at least catch up on a show or something.
You know what I want? I don't want anyone to look out for me or tell me to stop when I'm doing something stupid. The friends who I know love me the most are the ones who tell me when I'm being an idiot but who love me either way.
I know this post isn't any better than the last one, I guess I don't have a lot to say. I'm happy.
Love,
Loch.

oh na na

I realized tonight that the entire first chapter is completely wrong and I have to rewrite it completely and that I am going to have to bust ass if I want to meet my self imposed deadline for finishing this novel/book/project/whatever. I also decided that I am going to start posting it serierally so I can motivate myself. I 'll post the link on here later.
It is becoming more and more clear to me, writing is what makes me feel alive.
That's all,
Loch.

ps. I might post in a few hours, I don't plan on sleeping tonight.

like the chase

relative to the rest of the blogging world, I actually don't get too many page views. Just a couple hundred a month. When I check and see how many I have, sometimes I try and guess who was viewing, and then I wonder whether or not I was right.
Right now I like...
old movies
loud music
chillin poolside
shorts and tank tops
functional headphones
treadmilling myself to death
cracked pepper lunchmeat
relaxing on saturday night
volleyball with friends
late night baking fests
popup bag popcorn
93 degree weather
looking good
high heels

I've resigned myself to simply waiting, waiting, waiting. Things fall all around us, sometimes into place and sometimes out.
Love,
Loch.

ps. it's starting to feel like summah summah summah time
