A haiku: imagine

All kinds of future--
warm winters and sunny days.
Not that I miss you.

A haiku: for life

Pizza everyday
with ridiculous amount
of cheese, por favor.

A haiku: comfortable

Glad I get to see
you laughing, your smile, your face
when I close my eyes.

A haiku: it's silly but I have the biggest crush on you

My heart aches for you.
It has been a long day, love,
of missing you much.

A haiku: vitamin A

Loki, my best friend,
hoards and eats baby carrots.
Weird dog? I'd say so.

A haiku: this class is 90% male

Don't know about you
but I get extra sleepy
only in math class

A haiku: student loans

Should see thousands now
Keep checking my bank account
Where is my money?

A haiku: island

Rays of light peek through
On dark blue ocean water
Turning it silver

A haiku: change of plans

Economist? No,
let me write haikus instead
and live, create art.

A haiku: daydreams of you

Nothing more I want
than to see you and hold you.
Right now and always.

A haiku: what is this

You know that feeling?
Waking up but feeling tired?
School today? No way.

A haiku: skills

Lab tonight was crap
Always pink, never purple
I hate gram staining

A haiku: flu season

I know flu season
Remind me to buy Kleenex
My nose gets runny

A haiku: the city

Walking those damn hills
I miss you, San Francisco
Watch the fog roll in

A haiku: you'll see

Always counting down
Months and days and hours more
I will see you soon

Why do I even worry?

I may not have a lot of friends. The handful of friends that I do have have their own group of friends that I’m obviously not a a part of. That makes me so very sad but I just tell myself that maybe I’ll find my own group of friends sometime in the future. Other friends that I feel I can really connect to live in other states and countries. But still, I’m lucky to know such wonderful people in my life. I forget how beautiful life is sometimes. I’m lucky, I’m lucky. I just have to keep reminding myself that and pretty colors will pop out of nowhere and stars will look brighter even though sometimes those stars are airplanes when I’m not wearing my contacts and it will all be dandy.

And school. School is school. I’m really going for it this time. I have my classes planned out and I am really excited about all of them. Never have I felt this way about college classes before. I think it’s a good sign.

Das Leben ist schön.
La vita è bella.

Dear Week of September 12,

Please be kind to me.

Sincerely,
Laine

Don't you go

Recent purchases. I want winter to be here already. Layers, layers, layers. Tights and leggings, warm jackets, comfy cardigans, hot chocolate, early sunsets. Ah!

Sweet disposition

So stay there cause I'll be coming over.

This song is the background music to so many of the daydreams I have about you and me. Riding our bikes, running around some open field of grass on a bright airy spring day, walking the streets of (insert any city here) at 6pm- right before the sun hides it face, meeting you at the airport after days/weeks/months of not being in your arms. I have this idea in my head where I let you listen to this song on my iPod while we're sitting up in bed. I'll tell you about all my dreams. I miss your smile.
