twenty years it's breaking you down
the name is vanessa but everybody calls me van. estranged ex-NJCanoeist of 2004/05 K2-500m. I'm a WSO (FIGHTER) trainee and I'm doing my BA(Hons) English and Politics in the University of York. I like fast cars, literature, art and tulips. I cannot cook. When I was younger I wanted to be an astronaut. I am hopeless at math or anything remotely related to formulae. I detest parsley. I love the colour burgundy. My Macbook is my bestfriend and I've played with Macs since I was 15 so no, I didn't jump on the bandwagon. I have lofty dreams but I'm often afraid to chase them. I don't get angry I get disappointed. I intend to learn Spanish and German. Oh, and I think Liverpool kicksmajorass - I am not a fair-weathered fan. I think ambiguity is beautiful.

Lyrics by: The Fray
domingo, junio 18, 2006
You're the dream that hasn't ended
and I'm still anxious for rest
Your words they seem to hang above my head
You're the bud before the flower
unfurls into full bloom
captivating beauty
but it may be all too soon
you're the song that writes a story but leaves alot to read
The closest thing to perfect
but the farthest thing from me

and like I really deserve a chance
to sit across a table
and tell you that I think you're wonderful
and I think you're something special
I guess this is my only chance to say
I wish I knew you because
I'm sure you're wonderful if I'd get to know you.

The Closest Thing -- The Juliana Theory

It's an amazing feeling, peering through the sands of time and watching the events of the past few months unfold. It seems strangely surreal, how after all the crap that I've had to endure from some people, everything just happens to right itself just like that. All the wrong turns, stumbles and falls brought me here.

Well it sure hasn't been easy, but I'm glad that we did start off the way we did. From the "hey, I think you look really familiar" on March 20th, to where we are now. We've come a long way, and it's for sure that we're not stopping here. As the weeks slip by, we learn more about each other, but yet there's this odd feeling that we've known each other all our lives. Yeah I know, you'd never hear the old me saying something like that, but that only shows one thing - the cynic in me is mellowing. It's nice knowing that no matter what you do, there's someone out there who'd wholeheartedly accept you - idiosyncracies included.

The past month has been great. He's my best friend, confidante, shoulder-to-cry-on, and he's always someone I can count on to give levelheaded opinions and advice. SEVENTEEN. It's gonna be such a special number now (:

And to think that if I hadn't signed on, all this wouldn't have happened. Who would've thought?
