Heartbeat's and Freakdance's

Thump. Thump. For a moment I place a shaking hand against my chest and try to even out my erratic heartbeats. It's a feeling I'm not used to--a feeling both uncomfortable and comfortable. A part of me is scared. My heart feels like it's rebelling against the rest of my body and trying to fly away to somewhere else. But another part of me is reveling in this feeling. I feel strangely alive; a heart sleeping now awakens and (how can I describe it?) freakdances with my ribcage. My breath shudders and I glance back down at the ground as the world sways beneath me unsteadily. My legs wobble. My lips feel dry and I run my tongue against them. I feel perspiration running across the nape of my neck; I feel my head spin madly--whizzing with thoughts. I bite my lip and temporarily close my eyes.

Someone once told me that when you're in love, your heart beats like it's on heroin.

I stop running and run a heavy hand against my forehead. I fall to the grass and look up at the sky. I can't believe I'm running at seven in the morning. I really need to get more exercise. Why am I so unhealthy? Look at my jiggling thighs.

A cloud above me floats by. It looks to me like it's in the shape of a heart.

How to's and Stupid Question's

I was looking up a "How to..." question on google a few days ago. Usually when you type something into the google search bar, other random searches pop up below. I think it has to do with how often the phrase/word is searched on google. For instance, if I type in "Angelina," google instantly comes up with "Angelina Jolie." If I type in "Brad," I'm looking at the words "Brad Pitt." If I type in my sister's korean name, "Hyogene," nothing comes up. (I always knew my sister wasn't popular despite what she thinks--thank you google.)

Anyways, I typed in "How to" and the most common phrases that popped up were:
1. How to tie a tie -- Perfectly understandable.
2. How to kiss -- ...So I guess that's where good kissers originate from.
3. How to get pregnant -- "Wtf?" No wonder teen pregnancies have been on the rise.
4. How to lose weight -- Every female's dilemma (except for the lucky few who have high metabolism which will probably eventually slow down when they are old -- *crosses fingers)

It's funny to know what the online population is thinking about when they type something into a google search bar. It makes you feel like you're not alone the next time you type in some stupid question.
