The Lyrics

There’s no real music video for this song, but it’s the lyrics I want you to pay attention to anyways.

They Weren’t There, by Missy Higgins

You breathed infinity into my world
And time was lost up in a cloud and in a whirl.
We dug a hole in the cool grey earth and lay there for the night.
Then you said, “wait for me we’ll fly the wind,
We’ll grow old and you’ll be stronger without him” but oh,
Now my world is at your feet. I was lost and I was found,
But I was alive and now I’ve drowned.
So now I will be waiting for the world to hear my song
So they can tell me I was wrong…

But they weren’t there beneath your stare,
And they weren’t stripped ’till they were bare of
Any bindings from the world outside that room.
And they weren’t taken by the hand
And led through fields of naked land
Where any pre-conceived ideas were blown away…
So I couldn’t say “no”.

You sighed and I was lost in you, weeks could’ve past for all I knew.
You were there blanket of the over-world and so I couldn’t say,
I wouldn’t say “no”. But they all said, “you’re too young to even know,
Just don’t let it grow and you’ll be stronger without him”
But oh, now, my world is at your feet. I was lost and I was found,
But I was alive and now I’ve drowned.
So now I will be waiting for the world to hear my song
So they can tell me I was wrong…

But they weren’t there beneath your stare,
And they weren’t stripped ’till they were bare
Of any bindings from the world outside that room.
And they weren’t taken by the hand and led through fields
Of naked land where any pre-conceived ideas were blown away…

But they weren’t there beneath your stare,
And they weren’t stripped ’till they were bare
Of any bindings from the world outside that room.
And they weren’t taken by the hand and led through fields
Of naked land where any pre-conceived ideas were blown away…
So I couldn’t say “no”.

Almost Time!

So I’m chillin’ out maxin’ relaxin’ all cool at Desire’s place while she’s off at work for the moment. (I know, work on Good Friday?? I’m a Jew and I understand the dumbness of that!)

I was up early yesterday and then to bed early and up early again today. I already managed a nice hot shower and some snuggles with the cat. I figure I’ll do my hair at some point and eat my leftovers from last night before heading over to the hotel. It’s nice only being 15 minutes away instead of 4 hours…

Can I talk for a minute about my morning yesterday? It was a rotten, awful morning. First I woke up at 7am because my roommate’s new boyfriend was leaving and I woke up, but I was less cranky about it than usual for some reason. I dunno. That wasn’t the bad part though. The bad part came when I looked in the mirror a little while later and saw my eye was pink. Wait- extra crusties that morning and a hot gooey feeling in my eye? D’oh! Pink eye!

I was annoyed to say the least. Pink eye the day before Winter Fire! Luckily I woke up so early because I was able to hop over to the school health center and get some antibiotic eye drops!

Then shortly after that I got into a nasty tete-a-tete (I wish I knew how to do accents on a Mac- too lazy to find out) with someone that left a nasty taste in my mouth. It was really quite…traumatizing. Let’s just say, it’s the next day (at only 11am) and I really wish I was wasted. Or high. Maybe both.

Because it was the last thing I needed before Winter Fire (as my head has just barely been in the weekend) so the only way to really get on quite quickly was to numb myself to it. It’s the only way I’m able to function (read: leave my bed).

I’m also thinking that maybe there isn’t a Beatles song for everything.

Originally I thought of posting this video (We Can Work it Out), but how I really feel is more along the lines of this:

So seriously- me drunk now please.

Longing for Yesterday

I think a lot of situations in life can be expressed in Beatles songs.

You know I heart Jason, but a lot of those performances were atrocious this week, yes including his. But Syesha just did a phenomenal job with “Yesterday.”

Her version is what I’m really connecting with right now- as I really wish I could go back to yesterday.

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they’re here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Suddenly, I’m not half the man I used to be
There’s a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly

Why she had to go I don’t know she wouldn’t say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Why she had to go I don’t know she wouldn’t say
I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm

“Don’t Let me Down” is after the cut…

The Way I Am

Earlier this week, I camped up at Jefferson’s to recover from my wisdom teeth removal. Although I had been feeling relatively fine the first few days after the procedure, I guess I’d been over doing it with the chewing because by the time I got to Jefferson’s, I was in a good deal of pain- even with the Oxycodon.

Almost immediately after getting there I opted for a long, hot shower- something I don’t have the luxury of at my dorm. That definitely helped me relax.

Jefferson and I spent the evening having dinner and trading music thanks to that cool program, Senuti (which I’ve been telling people about, but no one is as excited about it as I am!). Now both of our music libraries are significantly improved. Way awesome.

The next morning as we ate our ice cream (raspberry sherbert for me actually), Jefferson practically strong-armed me to get the HPV vaccine.

“But I don’t like shots,” I explained.
“Well, do you like cancer?”
“Of course not. But there’s no cervical cancer in my family.”
“You don’t like shots, and you don’t have cancer in the family. Sounds like you’re just making excuses.”
“Yes, I’m quite good at that.”
“Just do it!”
“Oh alright- but I’m not dealing with doctor’s office and their atrocious insurance policy.”
“Just do it.”
“Ok, ok!”

I will soon look into alternative locations to get the shots (I swear!)- starting with my school health center. Do they give that stuff away for free anywhere does anyone know? Or do most insurances cover it?

But anyways, I wanted to share one of my new songs courtesy of Jefferson with you since I found it fitting.

“The Way I Am” by Ingrid Michaelson

Cuz I love you more than I could ever promise.
And you take me the way I am.
You take me the way I am.
You take me the way I am.

Jefferson and I may not have had the most perfect relationship- but here we are still together, just 1 month shy of 2 years. 2 years is by far the longest lasting friendship/relationship of my adult life (yes, my adult life is insanely short. I’m including high school in the mix too). And sometimes I don’t know why he puts up with me- or takes me back every time I break up with him.

(I’m planning on going to one of the classes at Winter Fire on poly and jealousy- for my own sake at least.)

I mean, that really must be freaking love. Right?

Or something. But he definitely takes me the way I am- flaws and everything. And that’s something that’s definitely hard to find.

More Jason

He’s So Cute!

Look at how cute Jason Castro from American Idol is!  He’s definitely my pick and I think I’ll be following his progress throughout the contest.

I loved this song he did (Daydream), and tonight he did a great job of Hallelujah, which I’ll post once a video is up.

Vote for Jason!!
