  • look at me now.

    site update:
    seven quotes and lyrics.
    ten the cheesiest.
    sorry its a crappy one.
    too tired today.

    personal update:
    so i got a phone that works last night. yay. aaaand i got to hang out with the boyfriend today. which may not have been a good thing. im starting to rethink some stuff..:/


    SONG OF THE DAY:
    4 words (to choke upon) - bullet for my valentine
    check it;

    quotes and lyrics.

          one.
    anytime you do something from the heart, people just know it.

          two.
    relationships dont work they way they do on television and in the movies. will they? wont they? and then they finally do, and theyre happy forever. gimme a break. nine out of ten of them end because they werent right for each other to begin with, and half of the ones who get married get divorced anyway, and im telling you right now, through all this stuff i have not become a cynic. i havent. yes, i do happen to believe that love is mainly about pushing chocolate covered candies and, 'know, in some cultures, a chicken. you can call me a sucker, i dont care, because i do believe in it. bottom line: its couples who are truly right for each other wade through the same crap as everybody else, but the big difference is they dont let it take them down. one of those two people will stand up and fight for that relationship every time. if its right, and theyre real lucky, one of them will say something.


          three.
    what ive learned is not to change who you are, because eventually youre going to run out of new things to become.

          four.
    its about being proud of who you are, being proud of your situation and just being stoked that things are always going to get better or always gonna get worse and thats such a great thing. every day is a new surprise.

          five.
    i dont believe in lying to people. being honest, at least i know i could help somebody. a lot of people may feel that theyve done too much or its too late, but thats never the case.

          six.
    i didnt care that you left and abandoned me; what hurts more is i would still die for you.


          seven.

    you know how uncool i am. i stutter, wear bad clothes, make bad jokes, make conversation uncomfortable, the list goes on. thank you for making me feel okay.

    the cheesiest.

           one.
    are you from tennessee? because youre the only ten i see!

          two.
    baby, im no fred flintstone, but i can make your bedrock!

          three.
    did you clean your pants with windex? i can practically see myself in them.

          four.
    ive gotta thirst, baby, and you smell like my gatorade.

          five.
    pardon me miss, i seem to have lost my phone number. could i borrow yours?

          six.
    so, youre a girl huh?

          seven.
    if you were a booger id pick you first.

          eight.
    hey baby. drop that zero and get with the hero in other words... you better come with me.

          nine.

    is your name pepsi cause ive gotta have it.

          ten.

    my love for you is like diarrhea, i just cant hold it in.

    personal update:
    still no phone. i probably need to buy myself another one even though i have like no money at all. crap. but my dad didnt say anything about my purple streak apparently. which is good. unless he just didnt see it...not a whole lot to update on.


    SONG OF THE DAY:
    driveway - making april
    check it;


    quotes and lyrics.

          one.
    i want to be your last first kiss that you ever have.

          two.
    but for now ill have to dream about your smile because youre not here and all i want to say is that i really miss you.

           three.
    if i gave you my hand would you take it and make me the happiest man in the world?

          four.
    tell me that you love me and itll be alright. are you thinking of me? just come with me tonight. you know i need you, just like you need me. cant stop, wont stop, i must be dreaming.

          five.

    everytime i see youre face; everytime you look my way, its like it all falls into place. everything feel right.

          six.

    if affection spoke louder than words, youd have made me deaf by now. you make it seem so easy to love me for who i really am.

          seven.
    when you are with me, im free, im careless. i believe above all the others well fly.

          eight.

    just be who you are. its all that i need in my life.

          nine.
    cant ever find the words to let you know sometimes you plague my mind a million times.

          ten.
    and i know it sound so old, but cupid got me in a chokehold.

          eleven.
    just in case theyre wondering, theyve got us pinned terribly. they dont think our love is real cause they dont know how real love feels.

          twelve.
    take me somewhere we can be alone. i'll be waiting; all theres left to do is run.

          thirteen.
    cause even when i dream of you, the sweetest dream will never do; id still miss you, baby.

    site update:
    ten lyrics
    ten 'guess what?'s
    ten graphics

    personal update:
    that party i told you about was a blast. i ended up stayin the night at my best friends house with my 2 other girl friends. haha that was wicked fun. we all died our hair. i now have a purple streak. it doesnt look too bad.other than the parties, new years sucked. awful way to start off the new year. one: my phone broke. completely. two: too much drama with my friend. three: i found out one of my best guy friends likes me:/. four: i lost my house key. and five: my dad is gonna kill me when he finds out about my phone. oh well.. im over it.


    SONG OF THE DAY:
    hot n cold - katy perry
    check it;


    lyrics.

          one.
    i remember every night we spent on weekends with good friends. we did nothin but it seems like we did so much back then. oh, back then we would kick it; laughin; all relaxing and taking things for granted. we did anything for just that little rush.

          two.
    if i had my own world, id build you an empire from here to the far lands to spread love like violence.

          three.
    so nice to meet you, i see right through that smile so in other words 'so nice to meet you, i hope i never see your face again.'

          four.
    if love was a plane, nobodyd get on.

          five.
    i always needed time on my own; i never thought id need you there when i cried. and the days feel like years when im alone.

          six.
    got it all figured out inside of my head. theres a bag packed up at the foot of my bed. you say the word, baby im all set. well cover our tracks, tell a couple white lies; make sure we got a good alibi and by the time they catch on, well be outta their sight. long gone, baby.

          seven.
    i dont mean to run, but everytime you come around i feel more alive than ever and i guess its too much. maybe were too young and i dont even know whats real, but i know ive never wanted anything so bad. ive never wanted anyone so bad.

          eight.
    ill show you mine if you show me yours first; lets compare scars, ill tell you whose is worse. lets unwrite these pages and replace them with our own words.

          nine.
    you are everything i want cause youre everything im not.

          ten.
    cause when i looked into your eyes and you dared to stare right back, you shouldve said 'nice to meet you, im your other half'.

    andrew; the boyfriend

    quotes and lyrics.

          one.
    sometimes you need a second chance because time wasnt quite ready for what was about to happen.

          two.

    all my life; at 11:11, when i blew out birthday candles, or when i saw a shooting star; i wished for true love. maybe it took years, but you were so worth waiting for.


          three.
    guess who wants to tell you that youre awesome because of some of the small things you do, like wear black just because i think it makes your eyes gorgeous or when you look at me and flash the most awesome smile ever, or when no matter how down i am you always cheer me up.

          four.
    id rather waste my time with you.

          five.
    well, the wind is real, but you cant see the wind. you can only see the leaves rustling in the trees. pain is real, but you cant see pain. you can only see the tears and blood. happiness is real, but you cant see happiness. you can only see the smile on a persons face.

          six.
    i think im afraid to be happy because whenever you get too happy, something bad always happens.

          seven.
    love is like wildflowers; its often found in the most unlikely places.

          eight.
    she thinks im crazy judging by the faces that shes making. i think shes pretty, but prettys just part of the things she does that amaze me.

          nine.
    well, it was a million tiny things that when you added them all up, they meant we were supposed to be together. and i knew it. i knew the very first time i touched her. it was like coming home. the only real home id ever known. i was just taking her hand to help her out of a car. it was like magic.

          ten.
    get out, dance crazy, forget about everything. theres nothing better than a free soul, an ignorant dancer, and forgetting, for even a second, why youre hurting.

  • ive seen it all so i thought, but ive never seen nobody shine the way you do

    so todays been kind of a crappy day for me. nothing to do and i dont feel good. but hey, at least its a good thing for those few people who read this... another entry:) oh and sorry every entry has been different. im trying to find a good way for all this to work out. so bare with me til i find out some more permanent organization plans:)

     lyrics.   
          one.
    sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same.

          two.
    its hard to say what it is i see in you; wonder if ill always be with you, but words cant say and i cant do enough to prove, its all for you.

       
    three.
    if i was a flower growing wild and free, all id want is you to be my sweet honey bee and if i was a tree growing tall and green, all id want is you to shade me and be my leaves.

          four.
    cause goodbyes are like a roulette wheel
    ; you never know where you're gonna land. first youre spinning, then youre standing still; left holding a losing hand.

          five.
    weve fallen in love
    ; it was the best idea ive ever had.

          six.
    cause i cant help it if you look like an angel; cant help it if i wanna kiss you in the rain so come feel this magic ive been feeling since i met you.

    who do you think?

    youre nothing to me;
    like a leach latched on to the back of my throat
    taking away the very thing i need to live.
    with each lie you tell
    and every promise you break,
    you take more out of me.
    youre killing me,
    but somehow it feels so good.
    i have to kill this;
    least sever the ties
    that chain me close to you.
    you build me up
    just to watch me fall
    again and again for you.
    i know now your life is made of
    half truths and crossed fingers.
    youll never change;
    always be the same
    cocky jerk off.
    that summer fling.

    poem by swing_life_away9109
    if you want your poem posted, message me and we'll talk :)

    so i cant decide if i like this arrangement or not. help me out? oh and dont forget to answer the questions i have on the last one i posted.
    cheers:)
  • you know i need you, just like you need me.

    told you id put another one up! hopefully this one will be a wee bit more interesting (and longer) than the first one.aaaaand i didnt get any love on the first one..probably because it WAS my first one...so if you like them, lemme know:). and if you dont like them... lemme know so i know what to change. but lets get started on the good stuff yall came for.

          one.
    if i calculate it in my head the right way, like i have a million times before this, we werent supposed to last this long. i wasnt supposed to care this much.
    Photobucket

          two.
    what i need is a guy who will put up with me; who understands me and who makes fun of me. someone who finds my friends as hilarious as i do; someone whos cute and cuddly; someone who makes me feel good and i think that someone is you.
    Photobucket

          three.
    wont you think im pretty when i'm standing top the bright lit city. and ill take  your hand and pick you up and keep you there so you can see it. as long as youre alive and care, i promise i will take you there; well drink and dance the night away.
    Photobucket

          four.
    well look whos dying now, slit wristless sleeping with the girl next door. i always knew you were such a sucker for that. it doesnt matter what you say; you never mattered anyway. i never mattered anyway.
    Photobucket

          five.
    when you grow up, falling in love becomes more about finding someone whose strengths match your weaknesses; who you can spend sunday evenings with; who you don't mind lying next to every night.
    Photobucket

         six.
    whoever said, "you dont know what you have until its gone" is wrong, because you know exactly what you have when you have it, you just dont know how much you need it until you cant have it anymore.
    Photobucket

          seven.
    and when i first met you, i would never have imagined that i would have such strong feelings for you. i never would have thought i would have dreams about you or miss being by your side or get butterflies in my stomach whenever someone mentions your name.when i first met you, i never would have thought i would love you.
    Photobucket

          eight.
    i just want to find a guy who will tell me all those cheesy, corny lines and compliments, but i know he means every single word.
    Photobucket

          nine.
    im not anything special. im still mad after counting to ten backwards, and i hate wearing shoes. i read more than i should and i know way too many big words. i stumble, trip and fall on a regular basis, but when im with you, it doesn't matter; my stupidity, becomes genius and my imperfections, well, i have none.

  • ill admit that i am just a fool for you.

    yay first post! haha.
    so im not gonna put up a lot of quotes this first go round because i dont fully
    have a hang on things right yet. but i hope yall like it.

    suggestions are appreciated.
    and comments are loved:)



          one.
    remember when friends didnt lie to you and the worst thing anyone ever
    called you was a meanie? remember when you were judged on how nice
    you were and how you only wanted to hear "i love you" from your mom?
    well, things change.

    because now friends barely tell you the truth and girls girls will call you a
    ton of things that will make you want to break down and cry. now youre
    judged on how expensive your clothes are and you would give up every
    single time your mom told you much she loved you just to hear him say
    it once.


          two.
    happiness is a journey, not a destination. so give like you dont
    need the money, love like youve never been hurt, and dance like
    nobody is watching. because whats to come is better than what
    has been.


          three.
    all my friends tried to warn me the day that we met: girl, dont you lose
    your heart yet
    . but his dark eyes dared me with danger and sparks fly like
    flame to a paper. fire in his torch burning me up, but still i held on cause
    i was already gone.


          four.
    you know, cinderella didnt have to take off her dress to win her prince
    charming
    . she had a romance without having any regrets along with it and
    she didnt lose anything she couldnt get back the next day.


          five.
    i dont love him. i dont know that i ever have or ever will, but when im
    with him, i cant seem to
    remember that
    .


    so thats all for today... well actually tonight... its 11:30 pm here. i know its only five quotes and
     there arent any fun pictures or anything to go along with it. buuuut, ill add another one
    tomorrow hopefully. if not, i definitely will the day after that.
    again, feel free to leave me some love to come back to...
    cheers:)
