Your Guy

I'm your guy. :)

Hey You

Okay. So they say it's obvious to everyone. Par for the course, it's unsettling, but I'll deal.

I like you okay? I do. For a while now. A few weeks. I didn't mean to. Again, you can't help who you fall in love with. But it's there. I'm sure. You're gorgeous. I've said this to you so many times. You are never ever inadequate. You are fine just the way you are.

Don't believe me? Look in the mirror. See that smile? Those dimples? They make me melt. Your hair is alluring, your eyes are bright and your skin, mocha. Can't you tell how stunningly beautiful you are?

You're charming you know? Peppy. Delightful. Easy-going. Smarter than you let on. Proud. Lovely. Sweet. Kind and caring. I don't need to go on.

Point is, if you figure it out, just know that I think the world of you. And if you could find a way to see that it just might be fun to take a chance with me, let me know. I'll be waiting.

WHY AM I SO DAMN ALONE

I do not mean to do it. I do not intend things to go down like that. I do not. I am not evil. I am not a jerk.

Hero of the story remember? Not the bad guy? Didn't anyone hear me?

Guess it's true that the best villains don't even think that they are villains. Well, maybe only at the end of the story when they don't get the girl and end up with their faces wiping the floor.

When you aren't who you think you are, when it seems as if the whole world is telling you something and you can't hear it, that's when you know that there's something wrong with you. The sad part's when you've already done this dance and sang this song. That's when it hits you that you're always going to be like this and there's nothing you can do about it.

Someone kill me now.

Well guess who sucks?

I do not like me anymore.

21

Quite possibly the greatest day of my entire life (up to this point haha).

It was full - Like literally, I had maybe an hour of downtime.
It was different - One really different thing really :)
It was awesome - The power rings? ZOMG.
It was spectacular - ALL THE CASH I GOT? :))
It was amazing - Spending the day with the people I love the most? Oh yeah.

It was everything I've ever wanted in a birthday.

Everyone who kept me busy replying to them through text or on Facebook (and Twitter!), I appreciate all the love. Thank you so much for the greets and well wishes.

Everyone I spent the day with, to Tito Net's staff in the New Zealand Embassy, to the people whom I spent lunch with, the people I had dinner with to the lady at Manor manning the cashier, you made my day incredible, uncanny, spectacular, sensational, astonishing and amazing. THANK YOU.

Mama and Papa and Mikey and Mommy (Daddy, Nana and Wowo too!) and all my Titos and Titas and cousins and cousin-in-laws and nieces, I thank you for all your love and support. You've known me all my life and have put up with me and cared for me like no one else can, because you're fam. I owe you all my life.

Ian, Nico, Ally, Sevi, Carmel, Corinna, Racela, Doms, Bea, Sarah, Iya, Lex, Enzo, Raf, Arjay, Chlods, Tono, Convo, Gela, Losman, Balma, Camille, Mel, Patrick, Eira...LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!

I love Carpool, I love comtech, I love Block T and my M.E. friends, I LOVE MY A-BOYS! I love my family, I love God, I love the world. Haha. How lucky can a guy be right? :)

Turning 21 was so so epic. Top to bottom, November 13, 2009 has to be my favorite day ever. November 13, 2010 has its work cut out for it.

My life has been tragic and terrible and painful and depressing, but it's also been hopeful, joyous, blessed, funny, manic and wonderful. To paraphrase a line from my favorite song ever, I want it exactly that way.

My name is Jeri Favis. I'm 21 years old. I have great people in my life and they make me want to see tomorrow.

Crazy For You

It's a glorious thing to be in love. It fills you with this impossible power, like Mario on Star-power, you are invincible. There is nothing you can't do. Full of excitement, full of courage, full of conviction, there's no such thing as defeat. Mountains can be conquered, dragons slayed and crises averted. You are at the peak of human emotion, you feel nothing but the unquenchable thirst to do, to live, to love. The world bends to your will.

Now imagine losing all of that. Imagine the unthinkable, imagine losing all of that power, all of that love. Let yourself fall, fall, fall so fast from the heavens that the impact of your landing is not unlike that of a nuclear bomb. And from the fallout, you rise. Or, you try to, because you can't possibly stand up straight anymore. You are crippled, weakened and broken. All out of love, all out of power. Shadows suddenly start engulfing your paradise. The stars do not shine for you, the birds do not sing and all hope is lost.

These are the only two ways one can fall when one falls in love. On the most perilous tightrope act anyone's ever faced, failure means death and success brings life. It's terrifying. It's a risk that no one in their right mind would ever take.

...And yet I take the leap on a regular basis, haha.

Guess I'm just crazy for you.



"What I'm dying to say, is that I'm crazy for you."

Felix Felicis

That is how I feel right now. As if I had just drank some Felix Felicis. Liquid Luck. I had a good afternoon. I feel blessed.

Just like old times. :">

Crap

Not again. Haha. Oh well.

Good Sports Day

The Yankees have just won championship no. 27. WOW. Congratulations boys.

It's always amazing to follow a team during a championship season. You're in for a ride you know? You watch games, check box scores, read every story, and then you see them win it all.

Especially when they beat a really great team too! The Phillies are awesome in their own right and I was legitimately afraid of them everytime they went up to bat. Whether it was Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Jimmy Rollins, Raul Ibanez or whomever was up next, each hitter was a threat to go deep. Cliff Lee led a superb rotation of starting pitchers. People shouldn't overlook the fact that the Yankees beat a really, really, REALLY good team.

Championships are won by the team you know can bring it every night and can bring it as a team. Sacrifice, heart and unity get it done. This team had all of that. Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, Andy Pettitte and Jorge Posada, just like old times right? Legacy players who won it all one more time. First-timers Mark Teixeira, CC Sabathia, AJ Burnett all got the job done. And of course, Alex Rodriguez finally got his first championship ring. Oh and last but certainly not least, Hideki Matsui as the DH winning World Series MVP. Congrats Godzilla.

AND! The Pacers got their first win today beating (ironically) the New York Knicks. Guess you can't have everything. Haha. Thank God for TJ Ford today. Dahntay Jones, Brandon Rush and Roy Hibbert too! Danny, you better not skip out on the media this time (I suspect reporters will be in a rush to leave though, wanting to get to Yankee Stadium).

Great day.

(Plus, I've got Friday Night Lights to watch later too! Haha!)

I Miss You

Not as flawless as "I love you," but they mean just about the same.

Not as bold as "I need you," but it conveys the same emotions.

Not as passionate as "I want you," but just as powerful.

I miss you.

There's proximity, there's distance.
There's love, there's hate.
There's familiarity, there's insecurity.
There's promise, there's disappointment.
There's joy, there's sorrow.

I miss you.

What you're really saying is, "You aren't here. Why not? Why can't you be here, where I am? Why can't you be here with me, now? Why can't we be together? Come back to me please. Because I need you here where I am. I need you to complete me."

I miss you.

Some part of me ("I") is missing ("miss") and it's you ("you").

I miss you.

What you're really saying? "Do you miss me too?"

I miss you.
