Will you stay beautiful?

Clyde and I were chatting.

Clyde: Cor, what was that Taylor Swift song with Cory. What was the title?
Cory: Stay Beautiful. Why?
Clyde: It's for Cory Monteith - Finn on Glee.
Cory: Uh, no. I've already heard that rumor. The song is part of her first album (self-titled Taylor Swift), before Fearless came out. Cory was an unknown in Canada then who didn't know he could sing. He auditioned for Glee and it was only afterwards that they were seen together.
Clyde: Haha. I didn't know that you knew so much. But I shoulda known.

Hehe. Taylor revealed that she wrote it for someone she had a crush on when she was still in school.

Stay Beautiful

Cory's eyes are like a jungle
He smiles, it's like the radio
He whispers songs into my window
In words that nobody knows

There's pretty girls on every corner
They watch him as he's walking home
Saying, "Does he know?"

Will you ever know?

You're beautiful.
Every little piece, love.
And don't you know?
You're really gonna be someone. Ask anyone.
And when you find everything you looked for,
I hope your life leads you back to my door.
But if it don't, stay beautiful.

Cory finds another way to be the highlight of my day.
I'm taking pictures in my mind so I can save it for a rainy day.
It's hard to make a conversation when he's taking my breath away.
I should say, "Hey, by the way..."

You're beautiful.
Every little piece, love.
And don't you know?
You're really gonna be someone. Ask anyone.
And when you find everything you looked for,
I hope your life leads you back to my door.
But if it don't, stay beautiful.

If you and I are a story that never gets told...
If what you are is a daydream I never get to hold...
At least you'll know...

You're beautiful.
EVERY LITTLE PIECE, love.
And don't you know?
You're really gonna be someone. Ask anyone.
And when you find everything you looked for,
I hope your life leads you back to my front door.
But if it don't, stay beautiful.

Will you stay beautiful?

Be well. :)

conceit and humility :)

The following is a vague but accurate account in my estimation. It is vague in the sense that I am not able to reproduce each utterance exactly to the letter and accurate in that it pretty much captures the gist of the conversation that took place. :) Characters: Ivy - sitting on a single sofa Abbey, Cory, and Clyde - sitting side-by-side on a three-person couch Therefore, x xxx Abbey was holding my cellphone in her hands and had undertook to play Bounce Tales. I sat to her right, a book in my hands. Clyde sits beside me, before my open laptop, reading an online article. Abbey says she doesn't like Bounce. I suggest that she might like to play Sudoku instead, but she doesn't. Cory: Don't you like Sudoku? Abbey: I do. I'm good at it. Cory: (commenting on the state of knowing you are good at something) I feel the same way, too. (nodding in agreement) I'm pretty good with words. Abbey: Sudoku is not in words. It's not a crossword puzzle. Cory: I know. What I mean

random misadventures

I lamented to my boardmates before: My Korean students don't laugh at my jokes. I pouted. "What jokes?" they asked. "Well," I explained. "My student and I were discussing an article about superstitions. And I asked him if he was superstitious. He said yes. And he said that he believes in dreams and that if one night he would have an awful dream, that he would absent himself from work the next day. And then I said to him: You know what, James, I'm superstitious too." "Really," he asked. "Yes," I affirmed. "I believe it is bad luck to believe in superstition." Silence. I waited for laughter. Nada. I smiled to myself. "I was just joking," I reassured him. "Anyway, going back to our discussion..." And another time, a student shared with me that he jumped rope for exercise 500 times a day and that he was presently aiming to raise the bar to a thousand jumps. "Wow!" I commended him. "That&
