my top ten favorite songs ever.

10) Damien Rice - Grey Room

“Oh, ‘cause nothing is lost, it’s just frozen in frost. It is open in time.”

9) Journey - Don’t Stop Believing

Come one, does this need an explanation?

8) The Spill Canvas - The Night Will Go As Follows

“Brash and hopeful that my luck will not perish tonight. When the overcast tries to kill me, it’s your slow motion rain that falls warm on my neck that keeps me alive. Consider this song a testament of my devotion to your saccharine scent, and to be completely honest, you’re not like all the rest.”

7) Matt Hires - Honey Let Me Sing You A Song

“Maybe I’m blind, maybe I’m blind, oh I couldn’t see you shine and shimmer right in front of my eyes, front of my eyes, oh no. I never saw light, never saw light, all I saw were faded mirrors and dim reflections but you shine, you shine so much brighter.”

6) Something Corporate - Konstantine

“If I hurt you, then I’m sorry. Please don’t think that this was easy.” ; “It’s to dying in another’s arms and why I had to try it.” ; “This is to a girl who got into my head with all the pretty things she said.”

5) The Postal Service - The District Sleeps Alone Tonight

“A stranger with your door key, explaining that I’m just visiting. And I am finally seeing, I was the one worth leaving.”

4) Jimmy Eat World - The Middle

“It just takes some time, but little girl you’re in the middle of the ride. Everything, everything will be just fine.”

3) PlayRadioPlay! - Madi Don’t Leave

“I’ve got a hopeless crush. Maybe that don’t mean much to you but I’m hoping this could keep going. Madi dear, can’t we just disappear and take our chances on a teenager’s romance? Put our money where our mouth is.”

2) Styrofoam ft. Ben Gibbard - Couches In Alleys

“And the hardest part was sifting through the pieces of the rainsoaked and rotten remains.”

1) Bob Dylan - Shelter From The Storm

Can anything top the verse “Suddenly I turned around and she was standing there, with silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair. She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns. ‘Come in,’ she said, ‘I’ll give you shelter from the storm.’”? The answer is no.

Apr 21, 2010
“I can’t believe I’m missing out on hanging out with him to listen to a lecture on Freud.” “Will it make you feel better if I give you a piggy back ride to class?” “..yes.” —

eyes like maps.

it still catches me off guard sometimes, when i see him and i look in his eyes and they’re electric blue and silver and my breath gets stuck in my throat and i want him all over again. i’ve lost all my faith in people. i look at this new boy and think “you’re wonderful and quiet and you seem to like me. but you won’t be around by next month, huh?” is everyone i care about doomed to leave me? i don’t know for sure. but now all i can do is wait for the axe to drop. it kills me. i used to have such faith in people. i used to love everyone unconditionally. i used to trust and hope and care. i’ve become a shrew. everyone’s gotta work hard now, whereas before my friendship was a guarantee. i hate being like that. my trust was the only thing anchoring me to my innocence. and now it’s gone. maybe i’m just growing up, but i didn’t want it to be like this.

March 2010

goodbye; take one.

let me be your biggest mistake. let me be the one you wonder about for your whole life. I hope I haunt your dreams and memories forever. I hope you live forever and every night when you close your eyes to dream your fevered dreams you see me behind your eyelids, and every morning I’m the first thing that you think of. always, I want you to know what you did. always, I want you to remember me at my best, the smile that charmed you, the lips you kissed, the love we knew together, the hair you ran your fingers through, and I want the image of me, broken and hurt and tearsoaked, to stay with you until they put you in the ground. I want you to know what you had, what you’ll be missing, what you gave up. I want you to remember me. I want to be your biggest regret. enjoy your life, little fish. know that I loved you.

why is everything so strange?

my whole life is standing on its head right now.. I’m infinitely confused as to why, everytime I meet a boy, and he’s just a friend, one of us has to go and ruin everything. I didn’t mean for things to end up like this.. I didn’t want it to. but it happened, I guess, and I don’t know what to do about it now. I’m just horribly confused. I’m also a little proud, knowing that I wasn’t the one who had to go and take everything we made and pull all the foundations out to remake it. I don’t know what he’s trying to do, but my head always goes to the worst places. I’m a mess again, but that’s really nothing new.

Would you survive a zombie attack?

post-christmas blues.

writer’s block, writer’s block, writer’s block.

virginia is clogging me up, creatively. it’s also giving me really bad dreams. i keep having nightmares about my friends dying and strange things happening and getting hurt. i think it’s because i can hardly get five minutes alone to get my head all cleared up with. i’m also out of books to read and i get a lot of inspiration from really good books.

i can’t wait to be home. i’ve had enough of christmas and all this bullshit and i just want to go home and spend time with my friends for a month and then go back to school. i missed everyone so much. i know it’s only been a few days since i’ve seen most of my friends, but that doesn’t matter. i can’t stand being away from any of them. :/

oh, hey, jordan, if you’re reading: when i get the mighty boosh collection of all three seasons, you want to get bombed and watch it? :]

Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) Death Cab For Cutie

While Christmas is arguably my least favorite holiday, I am very happy to report that so far, I have received/been informed that I am receiving: a GPS, 20$ to the mall, a sweet Jansport Original RightPack, seasons one-three of The Mighty Boosh, and, the crowning gem to my holiday season, a signed copy of The Mighty Book of Boosh, which I will post pictures of as soon as it gets shipped in from London.

I still have a lot of gifts to get, but I think everyone got what I’m giving them. In the mean time, enjoy this wonderful Christmas classic covered by my favorite band, Death Cab For Cutie.
