Wonders and Ponders

Heehee…about mid last week (I think) I got a compliment like this from an Arabic guy, and it made me recall dance class a couple days ago when some of the lyrics were just as amazingly and satisfyingly corny…like “[I am] the dancing flame” “[you have] the beauty of the moon my love” and some which I didn’t really understand…kinda did but not really, like “You are my gazelle”…and others, thanks to Sting, are blatantly obvious *cough Desert Rose cough*…also a verse from last night (I am the desert rose you seek…ha). So while they are corny, sometimes confusing, I’ve grown to love them lately Here’s a list of my favorites of the ones I’ve heard over the years:

~You are a jewel on the arm who escorts you (given to)
~Your smile is the shining sun (given to)
~[You are] an oasis amidst the burning desert (lyric from dance)
~[Your] eyes are two stars and your face is the moon (lyric from dance…I think)
~You glide between my heart as tears from my eyes, my new moon (poem by Al-Hallaj)
~[You are] a gazelle
~You have the beauty and strength of your mothers and the sun (given to)
~You are the princess who walks in the darkness of my dreams (song lyrics…I think)
~[You are] a desert rose…thank you Sting

Yes, they are corny, but I have grown to love them recently

would that I could be as strong as she.

Sans the age difference…still, someone once told me when I was little I had an old soul, so maybe it averages out.

what’s it like out of the system?

I know that class is vital, but I really want my freedom,

and so I write….

I’ll be reading books throughout the night, leave on the light.

Hey there alumni, how’s the real life after your last day,

How will I need my degree,

It’s way important, or so they say,

And so right now,

I’ll just type these papers up somehow, they’re due right now.

Oh, it is UCSD,

Oh, it is UCSD, it is UCSD.

Two quarters go by really fast,

then I’ll have my BA at last,

in History if it all goes ok…

Last time I thought that I was through

I still had units left to do,

and that threw everything askew…

that wasn’t cool.

Hey there alumni, I just need six more classes,

and I need to get some As, or at least get all the “pass”es,

Oh what fun…then by the end of summer I’ll be done,

as an Alum.

Oh, it is UCSD,

Oh, it is UCSD, it is UCSD.
