Swing Life Away

I forgot about this song... but I really love it.

Am I loud and clear, or am I breaking up?
Am I still your charm, or am I just bad luck?
Are we getting closer, or are we just getting more lost?

I'll show you mine if you show me yours first
Let's compare scars, I'll tell you whose is worse
Let's unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words



We live on front porches and swing life away,
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand



I've been here so long, I think that it's time to move
The winter's so cold, summer's over too soon
Let's pack our bags and settle down where palm trees grow



I've got some friends, some that I hardly know
But we've had some times, I wouldn't trade for the world
We chase these days down with talks of the places that we will go


We live on front porches and swing life away,
We get by just fine here on minimum wage
If love is a labor I'll slave till the end,
I won't cross these streets until you hold my hand....until you hold my hand

Some of my Favorite Movie Quotes

I've been watching a lot of movies while I was home this week. Mostly just as background when I'm alone in my room, or as something to fall asleep to. I have forgotten how many great quotes have come from these movies. love love love!

"When you grow up your heart dies" The breakfast club

"One day can change your life. One day can ruin your life. All life is is three or four big days that change everything." -Riding In Cars With Boys

"Maybe. Or, uh... maybe that whole love thing is just a grown-up version of Santa Claus; just a myth we've been fed since childhood. So, we keep buying magazines, joining clubs, and doing therapy and watching movies with hit pop songs played over love montages all in a pathetic attempt to explain why our love Santa keeps getting caught in the chimney." -Kate and Leopold

"The things you own end up owning you" -Fight Club

I know a lot more great ones, I just cant think of them off the top of my head... considering its 3am!! I'll post more up later!

when all is said and done

Its the ones that have been there in the beginning
the ones that never stop surprising you.

thoughts

- I'm really into the goofy funny guy

- I love someone who isn't afraid to smile. Smile is the first thing I notice.

- After that... its the eyes.

-all of which you posses... plus I have this trust in you, this safe feeling with you.

-I want the courage to just say how I feel to people. I hate how much of a wuss I am.

- more then anything, I dont want to skip out on this. I know it changes things, I know people might not like it, and I def know that if it happens and it goes wrong that it could change things in a bad way.

-but what if it works out? what if this is good? if this is what we need?

-since 18.. seriously.. since 18 I've had a crush on you... you've dated people, I've dated people, but at the end of the day this is what it has come down to.... 3 years of thinking the world of you... of laughing at all your bad jokes... trying to think of something witty to say. and then something happens and it escalates... now what am I suppose to do?



I'm sick of how many thoughts about all of this I keep having. I used to only think about it when I was around you... now.. now its all the time =/

Because I love Rosie Hardie Photography, and Because You Never Replied...

today I am feeling disappointed.
I'd really like for this whole thing to work out. It would be absolutely fantastic.
great? great.
I'm looking for my week to end up being a lot better than it is. I hope things turn around.


I don't want you to be slipping away....



I only want you close to me.

I have amazing thoughts in the shower.

So I was thinking... I ponder a lot when I'm in the shower. I feel like its my only place to think... and for some reason this is what I thought about....
Dancers and their technique.
I think its because I had auditions for Synergy show tonight and those always mess with my thoughts and emotions. But this is what I was thinking about...
The best part of a dancer... is it really their technique? I don't think it is. What do I think is the best quality in a dancer? Perseverance. Really... Having the ability to keep pushing...
Dancers are always learning, always growing, always exploring, creating, and inspiring. If you aren't being persistent then you aren't willing to push to make yourself that much better, to want to get up every morning and do it all over again even after a day full of cuts and bruises.
Even when looking under the theology in dictionary.com it states that perseverance is "continuance in a state of grace to the end, leading to eternal salvation". now if that doesn't sound like what a dancer wants out of their life... then I don't know how they would want this lifestyle.
Life is Movement - Movement is Life.

You Know What I Dislike???.....

Having a crush on a really close friend. That's really not cool. But I can see why it would happen... they are in your lives for so long, they are comfortable, easy, and you know they already love you for who you are....
you know what else I dislike?? Having a crush on that one friend, and then having a crush on someone you don't know as well... just because... well lets face it... they're beautiful!! haha. The worst part is is neither of them are currently in my view. One is just out of reach; I highly doubt I stand a chance. And the other... well... we are part of this close knit group.. a family... would it be wrong to switch it up and add something more to that???

So today Britteny hits the Dislike button on... her feelings... crossed signals, and men in general. Blasphemy!!!!!



You both can have a half... deal?.. deal!.. I didn't need it anyway.


Breath in Love
Breathe out Hate
