Meredith: A wise man once said you can have anything in life if you will sacrifice everything else for it... what he meant is nothing comes without a price. So before you go into battle, you better decide how much you're willing to lose. Too often, going after what feels good means letting go of what you know is right; and letting someone in means abandoning the walls you've spent a lifetime building. Of course, the toughest sacrifices are the ones we don't see coming, when we don't have time to come up with a strategy to pick a side or to measure the potential loss. When that happens, when the battle chooses us and not the other way around, that's when the sacrifice can turn out to be more than we can bear.
Meredith: We all go through life like bowls in a china shop. A chip here, a crack there. Doing damage to ourselves, to other people. The problem is trying to control the damage we've done, or that's been done to us. Sometimes the damage catches us by surprise. Sometimes we think we can fix the damage. And sometimes the damage is something we cant even see.
Meredith: We're all damaged, it seems. Some of us, more than others. We carry the damage with us from childhood, then as grownups, we give as good as we get. Ultimately, we all do damage. And then, we set about the business of fixing whatever we can.

Dr. Cristina Yang: If you want crappy things to stop happening to you then stop accepting crap and demand something more.
Dr. Meredith Grey: I've heard that it's possible to grow up, I've just never met anyone who's actually done it. Without parents to defy, we break the rules we make for ourselves. We throw tantrums when things don't go our way. We whisper secrets with our best friend in the dark. We look for comfort where we can find it. And we hope against all logic, against all experience, like children, we never give up hope.
Dr. Meredith Grey: My aunt would say, "say when",and of course, we never did. We don't say when because there is something about the possibility of more...more tequilla...more love...more anything....because more is better.
Dr. Meredith Grey: At the end of the day faith is a funny thing. It turns up when you don't really expect it. It's like one day you realize that the fairy tale may be slightly different than you dreamed. The castle, well, it may not be a castle. And it's not so important happy ever after, just that its happy right now. See once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you , and once in a while people may even take your breath away.
Dr. Meredith Grey: A couple of hundred years ago, Benjamin Franklin shared with the world the secret of his success. Never leave that till tomorrow, he said, which you can do today. This is the man who discovered electricity. You think more people would listen to what he had to say. I don't know why we put things off, but if I had to guess, I'd have to say it has a lot to do with fear. Fear of failure, fear of rejection, sometimes the fear is just of making a decision, because what if you're wrong? What if you're making a mistake you can't undo? The early bird catches the worm. A stitch in time saves nine. He who hesitates is lost. We can't pretend we hadn't been told. We've all heard the proverbs, heard the philosophers, heard our grandparents warning us about wasted time, heard the damn poets urging us to seize the day. Still sometimes we have to see for ourselves. We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today's possibility under tomorrow's rug until we can't anymore. Until we finally understand for ourselves what Benjamin Franklin really meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping, and even the biggest failure, even the worst, beat the hell out of never trying.
Dr. Meredith Grey: Intimacy is a four syllable word for, "Here's my heart and soul, please grind them into hamburger, and enjoy." It's both desired, and feared. Difficult to live with, and impossible to live without. Intimacy also comes attached to the three R's... relatives, romance, and roommates. There are some things you can't escape. And other things you just don't want to know.
Dr. Meredith Grey: Pain, you just have to ride it out, hope it goes away on its own, hope the wound that caused it heals. There are no solutions, no easy answers, you just breath deep and wait for it to subside. Most of the time pain can be managed but sometimes the pain gets you where you least expect it. Hits way below the belt and doesn't let up. Pain, you just have to fight through, because the truth is you can't outrun it and life always makes more.

my first successfully dled movie, thanks again to my favorite suite boyfriend, Dan. I like this quote:
Janice: I've got the perfect girl for you!
Jeremy Grey: [sigh] Janice, I apologize to you if I don't seem real eager to jump into a forced awkward intimate situation that people like to call dating. I don't like the feeling. You're sitting there, you're wondering do I have food on my face, am I eating, am I talking too much, are they talking enough, am I interested I'm not really interested, should I play like I'm interested but I'm not that interested but I think she might be interested but do I want to be interested but now she's not interested? So all of the sudden I'm getting, I'm starting to get interested... And when am I supposed to kiss her? Do I have to wait for the door cause then it's awkward, it's like well goodnight. Do you do like that ass-out hug? Where you like, you hug each other like this and your ass sticks out cause you're trying not to get too close or do you just go right in and kiss them on the lips or don't kiss them at all? It's very difficult trying to read the situation. And all the while you're just really wondering are we gonna get hopped up enough to make some bad decisions? Perhaps play a little game called "just the tip". Just for a second, just to see how it feels. Or, ouch, ouch you're on my hair.
Janice: Okay...
Jeremy Grey: OK, can you, can you put that so he can't see it? Thank you. Hey, Janice... great talk.

This break seems as if it will be perfect. A great Christmas, new years, Bahamas, a few parties, most likely an E&Y interview. But I can't help but dread it. Last break took my heart and stomped on it. I don't know how I even came through it be sane the next semester. I hope this break is nothing like last break. I need a good year. Fuck the last.

I turned on the tv and Coheed and Cambria was on Nokia live on mtv. It reminds me how much I need to see them again. Also.... Claudio needs a hair cut. I can't even see his face now..... wow so much energy... passion. I can almost feel it through the tv. I'm glad I know c&c fans now so when they play I can convince them to go see them with me. I also need their new cd... must contact alexis.
Christmas time= cute underwear at vs.
My mom bought me this really beautiful watch for christmas. It looks antique and almost like ones my grandma used to wear.... and if you know me, old jewerly is my favorite. Which reminds me I need money. I thought about getting a job but my dad convinced me out of it. I think I may volunteer during break. Either at the elementary school or with the senior citizens. I hope I can with the senior citizens.... even though helping kids read is fun, they have gerrrrrrrrrmsssss gross. hahahah.
I bought harry potter 2 to finish off my harry potter collection. Dad and I may go to see it on Friday.
mmmmm c&c is back on tv. sooooooooooooooooo goooooood.
"if i had my way i'd crush your face in the floor"- claudio
I get to make thanksgiving tomorrow. Except the turkey. I have yet to learn the mastery of big bird cooking. That... and taking out the shit is gross. maybe it's already out.
Claudio can play guitar behind his back. That's hot. He once asked me for a pen.
I get to help decorate for my cousin's party tomorrow night. I also will steal cupcakes..........mmmmmmmmmmmmmm. my favorite.
My Mom's friend make her brownies for thanksgiving and they are fantastic. I think they're fudge. Alsommmmm. Even though I have zero appetite lately... I can still manage to eat one.
