Nostalgia

Today I went to the Roseville Middle School play to see all of my 8th grade friends!

It was great!

I miss RAMS theatre. It was so fun and warm and bubbly and close.

I just miss everything in general.

Like 6th grade. 6th grade was AMAZING! We had this awesome teacher and an awesome Language arts teacher and they were just so much fun and us 6th graders were all super close and it was just awesome.

And then middle school came.


I miss my childhood and all of my old friends that went with it.

The Call

One of my favorite songs written and performed by Regina Spektor for the movie The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.

I love the lyrics; they relate to Peter and Susan (haha) but also to my life this summer and probably to everyone's life at one time.

It made me cry for both reasons :)

The Call

It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word
And then that word grew louder and louder
'Til it was a battle cry
I'll come back when you call me
No need to say goodbye

Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never been this way before
All you can do is try to know who your friends are
As you head off to the war
Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light
You'll come back when it's over
No need to say goodbye

Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling that no one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget
Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
'Til they're before your eyes
You'll come back when they call you
No need to say goodbye
You'll come back when they call you
No need to say goodbye

Suburban Life

Here's a new song I wrote today:

Suburban Life

Day in, day out
Everything is so repetitive
I can’t explain
I can’t explain
This feeling but I know I’m stuck
And I’m not getting out

‘Cause I’m afraid
That everything is gonna be this typical way
Forever

What can make my life spectacular?
Pull me out of this average cycle
I’m getting tired of myself
Me and my suburban life

A nine to five
Lifestyle is not what I want
But I’m living it
Sometimes I feel
Like simply running away
To anyplace but this

‘Cause I’m afraid
That everything is gonna be this typical way
Forever

What can make my life spectacular?
Pull me out of this average cycle
I’m getting tired of myself
Me and my suburban life

Brothers and Sisters

Now I don't usually swear much, but this merits it:

I FUCKING LOVE BROTHERS AND SISTERS.

I just got the first season from the library a week ago that I reserved, and it has been my highlight for the whole week.

The show revolves around the Walker family: William and Nora Walker, and their five (grown) children Sarah, Kitty, Tommy, Kevin, and Justin. William Walker dies early on, and leaves his family with a whole bunch of problems.

You might think that five children is too much.

It's great.

Their family is SO dysfunctional it makes me want a huge family! Not to mention every single one of them are hilarious in their own way and are so full of wit it's crazy.

And Justin Walker, the youngest, is HOT.

This show used to be tied with Desperate Housewives, but now after I've seen the first season again, it is my favorite right now.

This show is DEFINITELY worth seeing! Sunday nights at 9 p.m. Central.

Thirteen

I absolutely love this movie.

Coincidentally, I saw this when I was thirteen, alone in my bedroom. Now I wasn't like what they show in the movie, but I thought even at that age that this was a good eye opener. The three leading actresses (Holly Hunter, Evan Rachel Wood, and Nikki Reed (who was in Twilight)) are absolutely amazing. This is totally a health class movie but if you watch it on your own time, it is definitely worth it.

Go rent it. It is breathtaking.

New Photo Blog

This is my 2nd attempt at a new blog. Only this time it's for pictures :)

Happy Birthday

So tomorrow's my birthday.

I'm really excited.

Because Amanda's baking me a chocolate birthday cake with chocolate frosting and yellow writing.

And I'm getting an apple peeler.

I'm so lucky!

Valentine's Day

Today was just an awesome day.

It was one of the best days in a while.

I even wrote a letter to myself about it.

But no way am I posting it! :)

Hope you guys had a great Valentine's Day; mine was possibly the best Valentine's Day I've ever had! (well I guess it IS the best Valentine's Day I've ever had)(and no it is not because of a creature of the XY chromosome)(well partly... ;)

If I didn't get to spend it with you, I really wish I had :) That would've made my day out of this world! (Wow, I can't believe I just said that)

And if your Valentine's Day didn't rock, I'm sorry I'm rubbing mine in and call me up so we can make up for your day and PARTY!

I just think I should be grateful for the good things in life, not dwelling on the bad :)

Valentine's Day 2009. One to remember.

Disney Animated Film Original Posters

Two of my favorite original posters! (The Tarzan one is pretty too but I couldn't find a pic of that one)

BarlowGirl

My favorite band.

Has been for about 2-3 years?

They are amazing. And they deserve a post.

Yes, they're Christian. But their music ranges from rock to acoustic and is awesome! I have seen them in concert 3 times, twice at Club 3 Degrees and once at Sonshine Fest. They ROCK in concert!

Also, they're their own band, which rocks.

I got one of my CD's autographed at Sonshine Fest! I was so excited.

Except for the group before me that met them KNEW them, I guess, so they got a posed picture. But I didn't know that. So the drummer talked to me and she was awesome (which is why she's my favorite, but also she drums which is amazing) but the other two were preoccupied :( And then I was kicked out of the line because I was trying to get a picture with them but I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO. Boo. But oh well. They rock anyway. And they are inspiration to many failed songs I write :) I try to be all cool and write songs, but 99.5% of the time they end up as failures. Oh well.

And I liked them BEFORE they were super popular! Kinda proud of that fact

Like I thought Pattinson was hot BEFORE he became Edward.

Did I mention the Barlow sisters are gorgeous? They are. I'm jealous.

Oh yeah. And their music is amazing :)

"Million Voices", "Never Alone", and their cover at their concert of "Rain Down" by Delirious? are all amazing!

BarlowGirl rox my sox off. Except for I could probably think of a better name for them. Such as Kirspink!. Hahaha

Ask Me Again

Here's a song that I wrote.

Inspired by Lisa (actually the first line is taken from her poem, I hope she doesn't mind).

Definitely pertaining to my life right now.

Ask Me Again

Ask me again
In a little while
When I have everything figured out
Ask me again
In a little while
When I can give you the answer you’re looking for
‘Cause I hate to upset you
But some day I gotta do what I want to do
So later on
Ask me again

Ask me again
When I’m better off
When I’m more capable of answering
Ask me again
‘Cause right now you’ll find
I can’t tell you a simple yes or no
I don’t mean to upset you
But right now I’m not prepared for change
So later on
Ask me again

Ask me again
When I finally know
What I want to do with my life
Ask me again
When I realize
That all my dreams might not come true in the end
And I don’t want to upset you
But in the meantime I gotta learn on my own
So later on
Ask me again

Life

I like my life.

I don't want to grow up.

I want to stay this age forever.

I don't like complications.

I don't like having dreams that are just out of my reach.

I don't like having time to ponder life.

I don't like having idols that don't live up to my expectations.

I hate my imperfections.

I hate fake friends.

I hate depressing movies.

I think it's weird to know I'm in control of my life.

I love my dogs.

I think it's weird to know I'm an actual person.

I'm scared for the future.

I'm scared to set goals for myself that I know I can't attain.

I hate awkwardness.

I hate to know that I'm unhappy with these things even though I know there are people far worse off than me.

I hate that I hate to rock the boat.

Such as saying I love Jesus.

I don't like people being disappointed in me.

I hate that I get so attached to characters.

I hate that I idolize celebrities based on their characters.

I don't like being only 1 in 6 billion people.

I hate money.

I hate myself for being so greedy.

I hate it that I can't be grateful for anything.

I hate songs that make me cry.

I hate that I care about what other people think.

I hate embarrassing myself.

I hate my talents (or lack thereof).

I hate being mediocre at everything.

I hate myself for being sucked in to the skinny fad.

I hate knowing that I need to change and knowing that I can but won't.

I hate that I sometimes have to talk about other people to make me feel better.

I hate this feeling.

I hate that I will surely forget this in a day or two until it comes back.

Narnia

I love Narnia. I am obsessed with Narnia.

When the first one came out, I saw it 5 TIMES in theatres. And I have the soundtrack. The scores are beautiful.

This morning I watched Prince Caspian. I have to say William Moseley and Ben Barnes are SO HOT. Skandar Keynes? Not so much :)

And now I am in Narnia Depression.

The first movie was a happy ending. Especially with the end credit song "Can't Take It In" by Imogen Heap. Beautiful! The Pevensies didn't mean to leave, they just happened to. And the last line was a joke!

Prince Caspian was not a happy ending AT ALL. Especially if you love Peter and Susan; they are my favorite characters. AND THEY'RE NOT COMING BACK! And they have to finish it off with a beautiful but depressing song "The Call" by Regina Spektor. PETER'S NOT COMING BACK, AND SUSAN'S NOT COMING BACK AT ALL. PISS YOU LEWIS.

In The Last Battle, they all die. Literally. Sorry to ruin it for you, but Peter, Lucy, and Edmund are killed in a train wreck. Boo hoo. They all return to "heaven" Narnia. BUT WHAT ABOUT SUSAN??? Nope, she doesn't believe in Narnia anymore. Ugh. At least Lewis was quoted "I'd like to think that Susan will get there in her own way". WELL YOU WROTE THE FREAKING BOOK.

I am just so frustrated! They are not coming back. They are not coming back. UGHHHHHHH!

And Anna Popplewell, along with her gorgeousness and luckiness to be able to work with B.B. and W.M., gets to study at Oxford. IN ENGLAND! Well, yeah she's from there, but still. I WANT TO STUDY AT OXFORD! Too bad I'm not going to become a Rhodes Scholar in the near future. Thank you Martha.

I am jealous.

Wrock

Wrock rocks my sox off.

Wrock (or wizard rock) is music completely and utterly devoted to Harry Potter.

I know. Nerd City!

Really, though, it is hilarious. Even though I myself am a newbie to it, I would suggest starting out with either Harry and the Potters or Draco and the Malfoys. Both are on iTunes.

My personal favorite is "Save Ginny Weasley from Dean Thomas" by H & the P. It is such a dance song and is so cheerful! The lyrics are hilarious! I love it!

I also like "Potions Yesterday", "My Dad is Rich", and "99 Death Eaters" (parody of "99 Red Balloons), all by D & the M. They are my faves so far. You can find the whole songs on YouTube.

If you are a Harry Potter fan, check these out! They are a great clean source of entertainment!!!
