Is love the end?

Now is the time of our comfort and plenty
These are the days we've been working for
Nothing can touch us and nothing can harm us
And nothing goes wrong anymore
Singing a song with your feet on the dashboard
The cigarette streaming into the night
These are the things that I want to remember
I want to remember you by

They won't come again, because love is the end
Oh no, my friend, love is the end

I took off my clothes and I ran to the ocean
Looking for somewhere to start anew
And when I was drowning in that holy water
All I could think of was you
Oh my friend, love is the end
So best not pretend, because love is the end

Take it back, don't let it die
Or rage against the fall of night
Because I still do depend on you
So don't say those words that run me through

Woah, oh oh
Love is the end
So let's not pretend, because love is the end

So I tread the only road
The only road I know
Nowhere to go, but home
Nowhere to go
Maybe our time is up
But still you can't abandon
All the principles of love
Don't say those words
Don't say those words
Don't say those words
Don't say those words

I'm agog about the GRE.

I'm hoping if I blog this, it will become true. At the moment, it's not really. I studied last night though. Drifted off to sleep with exponents, square roots, and analogies swirling through my head. I woke up at 6am having dreamt that I'd gotten an email saying I have to submit the first part of the test by email before 3pm. Panic!
Meanwhile, I'm concerned I'm losing my edge at the gym and need to regain steam. By day, I've transformed into Ms. Viola Swamp in an effort to reclaim control over the 6 year olds that have my lucidity.
I haven't been busy in a long time and I'm not sure I'm going to handle it well.

I'm all about the future right now. I can't stop thinking about what's up next and making mental to-do lists for things that I won't need to consider for 5-6 months. This morning in the shower I planned for a "yard sale" that Ryan and Kim and I could co-host to get rid of all the "stuff" in our apartments. It would be a great way to clear out, help out friends and get some extra last-minute spending money for our jaunt around SEA. We could advertise it on facebook and make cute little price tags and serve tea...

See what I mean? I'm way ahead of myself.
