1. "I want you to sing a song to someone. Any song you want. You can make it up on the spot if you like. Don’t tell them or ask for permission just surprise someone with a serenade, but don’t make a joke out of it. Give it your all. No matter what you think of your voice, just sing anyway."

2. "It's just a mutual swapping of spit and you both go on your merry way."

1. The worst dreams are the ones that seem real. Why on earth would anyone want to wake up and go to class and then actually wake up and go to class?

2. The sun decided to make a guest appearance today. 'Twas a brilliant occasion. My darling bike also was set free from the closet and was allowed to take a ride around town. That poor thing had to spend all winter in a dark room with cardboard boxes. Thank goodness another bike was in there. I hope they made friends with one another.

2. I am happy today. Tomorrow I will be happy. Thursday I will be happy. Isn't agency a great thing?

1. Happy first day of Spring. Glory hallelujah. Too bad it's going to snow 2-4 inches over the next 36 hours. Curse this place.

2. Clutching pictures of past lovers at his side sat at the table where she sat and removed his hat in respect of her presence presents her with the pictures and says ‘These are just ghosts that broke my heart before I met you. These are just ghosts that broke my heart before I met you’

He opened up his little heart unlocked the lock that kept it dark and read a written warning saying ‘I’m still mourning over ghosts, over ghosts, over ghosts, over ghosts that broke my heart before I met you’

Lover, please do not fall to your knees. It’s not like I believe in everlasting love.

1. I'm thinking about getting my AA in general studies, nanny-ing in Germany for a while, transferring, and getting a degree in German. That would be cool. I could work for the FBI. Yeah.

1. The sun in shining today and I wore a cardigan without another jacket over it. I didn't even where thermals under my corduroys. Yes. That means that today is a good day.

2. I look out my window and guess what I see.

Don't hate life. Stunt it. Like bike stunts, stunt persons, life stunters. Go for a walk with your headphones in and do some interpretive dancing/walking along with your music. Good advice for life.

1. Okay. I am okay. The snow has melted with exception of the giant piles but I expect those to be around for while. Once the sun starts shining ever day I will be able to handle myself and I'll be happy. Yes, I know that's a bad attitude to have. I shouldn't let the weather affect me so much but it does and I'm sorry. A kid in my class even told me that I have seasonal depression. He got that from two days. One was sunny and warm. I was singing to myself and I was giddy like a little girl with a crush. Then today was gloomy and cold so naturally I was upset. Two accounts of my behavior on two days. Perhaps completely unaltered by the weather. Maybe it was just a bad day that happened to be dark. Who knows? Well, I suppose I do because it was the weather, with a few other circumstances that drove me up the wall. Or down the wall. Either way, today is not the best ever.

2. I definitely still love you. You still pop up in all my dreams, one way or another. You're still the only one I want to be with but for now friends will have to be good enough. Either it's you or it's someone else, not someone better, just someone else.

3. Today is not a good day to be by myself. I need company. Anyone's company.

1. Usually my dreams with you are completely platonic. Last night was so different. You loved me again. You wanted me to be yours. You kissed me and held me. You paid attention to me. This set me back a couple days in my forgetting process. I still love you as much as I did three weeks ago. There's nothing more to it. I love you and I will for a long time. Usually these dreams help me and show me that we can just be friends, or spies, or secret agent ninjas. This one told me that I still want to be with you.

2. Well, I registered for classes. Will 18 credits be too much for me to handle? There's a possibility that my head might explode from that so I might drop one of the online classes. Online classes are awful anyways, right? I'll see how it goes. I may just be up for the challenge. Or I may just get burnt out faster than normal.

3. I have to go back to school today. So sad because I love being home. Being away from this pretty place makes me homesick and I don't like being homesick. It makes me want to cry all day long. I don't, of course. Usually. But this weekend probably filled my need for home and I'll be able to make it through the last month of the semester. Then I can come home for a while week and get my fill for all spring semester. And spring isn't nearly as bad as winter semester. In the spring, I can go outside and make lots of friends and get tan again and have fun. Winter is dark and dull.

4. Happy Pi(e) Day!

1. I've made up my mind. I've always known my dreams were for a reason. They shall become the base of my books. Who needs creativity when they have a mind like this? Hehe. Okay. Be prepared for the best-selling series by best-selling author, Rachel Cope. Get ready to have your mind blown by the dream sequences that blow her mind. Dahn dahn daaaaaahhhn.

2. I actually got a sunburn yesterday. It's a good kind of burn. Yayyayyay.

1. Finally, I'm home. California sun, grass that is actually green, swimming pools, Slurpee's, a gentle breeze, my adorable brothers, mom's cooking. Who would ever want to leave?

2. "Oh, I don't wanna be a princess. In a constitutional monarchy, parliament has all the real power."

1. What makes me sad right now will make me very happy in future years.

2. Every day when I want to finish school this minute and go home, I need to remember to just get past today.

3. Think only of today as far as pain goes. Thinking of yesterday brings nothing but regret. Thinking of tomorrow brings stress. What do I need to do right here and right now?

4. All I want to do right now is talk to my family.
