Nada Fuera De Lo Comun

¿Como decirte sobre mi vida? Es como una cancion. Tiene secretos. Es algo escrito en codigos tematicos. Si fuera de alguna otra manera estaria desordenada y sin direccion. Pero mas alla de eso no la puedo describir. No puedo hablar de mi propia vida pues estoy dentro de ella. ¿Como describir el mundo desde la vientre matriz?

La vida es buena o mala. Este es mi consejo: cuando la vida es buena, no la pienses tanto...disfrutala.

***Translation

Nothing Out Of The Ordinary

How to tell you about my life? It's like a song. It has secrets. Something written in thematic codes. If it were any other way it would be messy and all over the place. Beyond that I cannot explain it. I can't talk about my life because I am inside it. How can you describe something you're inside of?

Life is good or bad. Take my advice, when life is good, don't mess about it...you enjoy it. ~Desert Flower

When you read that, what first comes to mind? Passionate lips slightly open awaiting the sensation of a first kiss? How about an attractive woman standing across a crowded room wearing a deep, passion red color on her lucious lips. You suddenly find yourself fascinated with their movement as she speaks - if only she were speaking to you.

Very nice, but that's not it. You see there is this boy...there's always a boy. He is very cute and good with kids. Has a very nice voice (that's important to me). Beautiful eyes. He could possibly be THE perfect guy. But I'm getting ahead of myself here.

The Flaming Lips is actually a band. How about that? I haven't heard any of their music (I'm afraid to) but it looks like a bunch of fun (weird) guys. My lover (he doesn't know it yet) got to hang out with them in the set of the movie Christmas on Mars. You can read all about it here.

So now you know. Flaming Lips mean Steve Burns...or something. Going through his site I'm finding out he's really kinda strange. He talks in the 3rd person a lot and has weekly affirmations. And you know what I just realized? I think Jason kinda looks like him. But don't tell him I said so. He might not like the idea.

I know this post wasn't really about The Flaming Lips. I just didn't know how else to get you to read about Steve Burns. Ciao you gorgeous thing. Yes you, Jason, hehe. *wink* ~Muchachita

You know that thing about the plumbing problem I sorta told you about? After I posted, I decided to go take a shower. Let's take it from there.

It was really kinda comical. Had a little trouble with the plumbing in the late morning. Didn't think it was a big deal. I kinda "fixed" it, called the landlord and she said a plumber would come by sometime tomorrow to take a look at it (the toilet). Well, we have two bathrooms so I thought, okay. I finished preparing my class, did that new cheesy layout for my site then went to get ready.

Jumped in the shower in my bathroom (the one with the broken toilet). I didn't think anything of it. The toilet wouldn't affect the bathtub right? WRONG! ahahahahaha...it was so funny! Only not. I was still laughing. Water went EVERYWHERE! It was like one of those cartoon episodes in which the cat, rabbit, whatever has every toe and every finger AND his nose covering a hole somewhere trying to stop the water. And this was water from the toilet!!! So gross you can't imagine how nauseous I was getting at one point. It could've also been that I was laughing so hard. I couldn't believe it was really happening! And my roomate wasn't home so there I was...wet, and yes, naked! ahahahahahahahaha But hold on, it only gets better.

I finally figured out to pull on something (pump?) and the water stopped...if only I could find something to hold it in place so I can go call somebody...ah, I'll use my bra...ahahahahaha It really was the ONLY thing handy.

I call a couple of places..."sorry, we only do after hour work for our customers". Well dang, how am I going to become a customer if you won't see me?! The third place did pull through. Two guys came over and they were cool enough to do the job for free. Yeah, they probably felt sorry for me. They said it was simple enough for me to do it myself (after all that). I told them to do it anyway. I paid for the part...yeah, the one I was holding in place with my BRA. So embarrasing.

So that was my day. And no, I didn't go teach. I had to shower...and shower...and shower.

Tell me you're not laughing so hard you are actually rolling on the floor and not just typing it. ROFLOL ~Dirty

I've taken a look at what Nicky has in mind for this place and it's looking good but I just can't wait! The black has got to go. Somebody go hurry the boy along please. For now, I made something really quick to hold me up. If you don't like it, no worries. It's gonna get changed again soon (right Nick?). *nudge and stuff*

Oh, have you ever entered your bathroom and heard the noise *squish*? It is NEVAH, nevah evah, a good thing. I'll leave it at that. ~A plumber I am not

Last night my great platonic friend (GPF) came to the rescue. As always, the conversation was witty, exciting, confusing and a lot of fun. Let me tell you about GPF. He is one of the smartest people I've ever encountered. For his age that is. *wink* Had to say that or he'll get a big(ger) head.

So he likes to pick on me. That's alright. I take it as a sign of affection. That doesn't mean all of you out there should start picking on me now okay? Let me tell you, he is one hot GPF. Do you have one of those? You should. But don't try and take mine. That's why I'm not telling who it is, hehe. He's mine I tell 'ya!

Anyway, here's a fun little chat we had a while back. I just HAD to save it. Although I had to do some major editing because if I left it the way it was you would get so lost. Trust me on that one. I'll just share pretty much one of the subjects...we had many going on...at the same time.

GPF says:
say, have you heard about the 6 americans staging a hunger strike in iraq?
Kira says:
omg
GPF says:
omg?
Kira says:
sorry, that just sounded ridiculous
Kira says:
6 Americans staging a hunger strike in Iraq
GPF says:
lol
GPF says:
Six Americans Fast in Baghdad in Anti-U.S. Protest
Kira says:
who the crap is the United Nations? I thought that WAS the United States
Kira says:
*rolls her eyes*
GPF says:
no doubt.
GPF says:
one of the six is the b/f of a coworker of mine.
GPF says:
she's a little freaked.
Kira says:
insert worried face here
GPF says:
give me a topic, please.
Kira says:
full of themselves Americans who go act all martyr like..."avoiding" food while people of that country ARE actually starving
Kira says:
sorry, i'll get off my horse
GPF says:
lol
GPF says:
time for me to get on mine.
GPF says:
you know writing in spanish makes me *work* to try to understand you.
GPF says:
which doesn't really matter anyway.
GPF says:
insert smartass face here
Kira says:
does it bother you?
GPF says:
nah. it's kinda fun.
GPF says:
i can read like 3 words then stop and have to look up the next.
Kira says:
i can post the translation
GPF says:
or sometimes i cheat and use babelfish.
GPF says:
I am... ... desperately lost in you. In your smile in your glance. In your lips. Lost in your words. I am... ... completely enamored with the life. Specially if in this life you exist your. Completely lost and hopelessly to return to be what I was before you. I am... ... esperandote.
GPF says:
almost there, but not quite.
Kira says:
you get the idea though
GPF says:
yup.
Kira says:
it's just sappiness at its finest
GPF says:
doesn't quite flow like it does in spanish though.
GPF says::
hey, i rhymed.
GPF says:
i made a funny.
Kira says:
i'm tickled
Kira says:
why do people say that?
Kira says:
it sounds so silly
Kira says:
as if you would actually stop and tickle yourself when something funny or amusing is said
GPF says:
because people would rather say, "i'm tickled" than "i'm pickled".
GPF says:
duh.
Kira says:
ah, of course
Kira says:
silly me
GPF says:
yes, silly you.
Kira says:
bite me
GPF says:
is that an invitation?
Kira says:
or a challenge

alright, things are getting out of hand, let's fast forward a bit...

GPF says:
[ ]
GPF says:
room for kira to put words in my mouth.
GPF says:
lol
Kira says:
bite me
GPF says:
ooooh, them are fightin' words
Kira says:
that whole Iraq thing has me up in arms *rolls eyes at herself*
GPF says:
you know, one of these days, your eyes are going to get stuck.
GPF says:
that's okay though. i'll still like you

As long as he still likes me. *wink*

Even with editing we were still all over the place...how fun though. And now you can't say I don't talk about politics though, ha! Arrivederci. ~Amiga

Thank you. ~Concerned Citizen

Haha, I know the feeling! Alright, so I can't sleep. I tried reading but I don't have any light hearted books handy. After my rant the other day you don't want me reading any Che Guevara stuff. I didn't realize he had a comic book. Funny. A more entertaining way to read about an Argentine Marxist revolutionary and guerrilla leader.

If you are awake and tend to put people to sleep with ease, drop me a line sometime so we can exchange messenger names or something. That way I can say to you something like "I'm not here right now, but leave me some love!" while I am away doing whatever it is people do when they step away from their computers and somehow forget to turn the darn thing off.

Are you feeling sorry for me? Look it here...now, who are you feeling sorry for? Still me? Darn. lol, I'm soooo bored!

All I have to do this week is my private lessons, teaching out at the college on Wednesday, a couple of band rehearsals (we don't have a name yet Nick) and that's about it. My classes at the school of music don't start 'till the end of September so I desperately need something to do. I should probably use my time to try and write something (unlike what I write here which is pretty much nothing). Okay, done thinking out loud. I'm gonna try the whole sleeping thing again. Wish me luck! ~Restless
