Fitted.

Let's sail away
Find our own country
We'll build a house and beds out of palm trees
Let's get away
Let's push our lives aside

I'll sport a smile
Take in some color
Under the stars
I'll be your lover
With no distractions I'm gonna treat you right

Well it seems like things are only getting better
Well it seems like we can never catch a break

Just a keep a hold on me, don't let go
If you float away, if you float away
Waiting too long for a ship to come
Don't you float away, don't you float away

Let's go to bed
Let's stop debating
Look at the time
We're always waiting
But we're in love
And that should be just fine

Well it seems like things are only getting better
Well it seems like we can never catch a break

And if you like...
and if you like some other time
I would like to introduce you to the finer things
If we survive...
If we survive, get out alive
I'd like to say how beautiful I think you...

Just a keep a hold on me don't let go
If you float away, if you float away
Waiting too long for a ship to come
Don't you float away, don't you float away

Throne/Thrown

I am so close, and I can't let anyone get in my way. I wish I could sleep tonight, but I have clamped my eyelids open.

I am scared, and anxious. I think it is right under my nose.

Heels.

Starting my placement on November 2nd at Malvern Collegiate Institute. It's some upper-middle class school located at The Beaches. It apparently has the best English program in the city, and it was given some peace prize for practicing global education and diversity within the school. Wikipedia tells me Alex Trebek, Kiefer Sutherland, Keanu reeves, Glen Gould, Don Getty, and Norman Jewison all graduated from Malvern CI.

So, it's fair to say I am pretty excited? If I get a good evaluation and reference here, I will be an extremely lucky girl. I am going to work my ass off. I have already started shopping for my wardrobe (so many pencil skirts, menswear blazers, and pumps). I am so excited to get dressed for "work" everyday. I want to redefine the idea of an English teacher. I want kids to know you can listen to Black Flag and feel disdain towards general society, but still find the merits in high modernist literature (just try to tell me T.S. Eliot didn't loathe the system). But seriously, I want to inspire and be inspired my entire life.

Maybe this shoe finally fits.

A pretty face let's you get away with anything.

I am what I claim to despise. I ruin the things I love. I am like poison. I stood at the door waiting for nothing to come.

I can't bear this. I can't see straight. I am always dead sober.

Black is the new black.

It's all I want.

But I know I will never find it.

Cellar Door.

I hate knowing that I will never be the first.
