Fearless – Taylor Swift

In music on December 24, 2008 by Michelle

There’s something ’bout the way
The street looks when it’s just rained
There’s a glow off the pavement, you walk me to car
And you know, I wanna ask you to dance right there
In the middle of the parking lot
Yeah

I’m driving down the road, I wonder if you know
Trying so hard, not to get caught up
Now, you’re just so cool, run your hands through your hair
Absent mindedly, making me want you

And I don’t know how it gets better than this
You take my hand, and drag me head first
Fearless
And I don’t know why, but, with you I’d dance
In a storm, in my best dress
Fearless

So baby drive slow, ’till we run outta road
In this one-horse town, I wanna stay right here
In this passenger seat, you put your eyes on me
In this moment now, capture it remember it

And I don’t know how it gets better than this
You take my hand, and drag me head first
Fearless.
And I don’t know why, but, with you I’d dance
In a storm, in my best dress,
Fearless

Well you stood there with me, in the doorway
My hands shake, I’m not usually this way but
You pull me in, and I’m a little more brave
It’s the first kiss
It’s flawless
It’s really something
It’s fearless

And I don’t know how it gets better than this
You take my hand, and drag me head first
Fearless.
And I don’t know why, but, with you I would dance
In a storm, in my best dress
Fearless

In Breaking Dawn, Jack's Mannequin, band, icons, life on August 10, 2008 by Michelle

My blog is finally calming down; thank you! I’m happy that I’m no longer getting 100+ hits a day. Now I feel better blogging. Okay, so I don’t know where to start.

I finished reading Breaking Dawn. Not my favorite, at all. There’s so many things that I kept picking on that really bothered me, especially the biology stuff. Ugh, I hate these “miracles” that keep happening in the books, they’re so annoying. It’s not a good plot if you keep having exceptions to everything just to get what you want! The first seven chapters was honestly just horrid to read. I enjoyed reading Jacob’s part more than anything in that book and I wasn’t a big fan of Jacob. Seriously, a baby? No. Edward calling Jacob his son? NO! That just ruined Edward Cullen for me, it did. No epic battle? Fail. Love shield? Lily Potter did it better. Calling all this negativity the “Rob effect”? FAILFAILFAIL. I’m not going to love this book like how I love Rob. Just saying.

Band practices started! So far, I’m liking it more than any other year. The weather isn’t that extreme yet either, so it’s pretty bearable even though I still do sweat so much. I’m liking this whole thing about getting the band more involved by playing all these section vs section games for points. It’s really bringing out the best in everybody and if you disagree, then I don’t care. We’re doing drill downs every too, which I love doing so much. But I’m slightly bummed that I haven’t actually been winning even though I make it to be one of the last ones standing almost every time. But I do have some complaints. Mostly about people and how my legs are so sore!

As for everything else in my life, there’s no such thing. I haven’t started my summer assignments nor have I been doing any other things whatsoever. I’m still pretty into using LJ at the moment, but not for blogging. Just to keep track of resources (mostly textures, I seem to love those) and to post my icons. The other day I posted 132 icons. :/ I’ve been working on my cropping in Photoshop! I’m actually pleased with some of the results I’ve been getting, though sometimes I would look back at it and think that I should have done it another way. Maybe that’s why I tend to make about 3 variations of an icon because I can’t decide which cropping is better. I did 6 for a Rachelle Lefevre one. Look:

graphics community: emptyserenade

That just made me realize how much I prefer having the picture sided on the right, hah! And I haven’t been doing anything too fancy with icons either. I just do very simple colorings and then I use a black & white ‘grungy/cloudy’ texture and then set it on screen. Seriously, I’m going through this “i love b&w texture” phase.

Jack’s Mannequin came out with an EP! I’m liking the new stuff so far. It’s different, but lovely. The sound is really attractive. I’m honestly very excited for the Glass Passenger to come out September 30th. :)

Secondhand Serenade – Fall For You

In music on February 9, 2008 by Michelle

The best thing about tonight’s that we’re not fighting
Could it be that we have been this way before
I know you don’t think that I am trying
I know you’re wearing thin down to the core

But hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you over again
Don’t make me change my mind
Or I won’t live to see another day, I swear it’s true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You’re impossible to find

This is not what I intended
I always swore to you I’d never fall apart
You always thought that I was stronger
I may have failed but I have loved you from the start

Oh but hold your breath
Because tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you over again
Don’t make me change my mind
Or I won’t live to see another day, I swear it’s true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
It’s impossible to find

So breathe in so deep
Breathe me in, I’m yours to keep
And hold onto your words cause talk is cheap
And remember me tonight when you’re asleep

Because tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you over again
Don’t make me change my mind
Or I won’t live to see another day, I swear it’s true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
Tonight will be the night
That I will fall for you over again
Don’t make me change my mind
Or I won’t live to see another day, I swear it’s true
Because a girl like you is impossible to find
You’re impossible to find

I think I really do love that song. I want their new CD.<3

OMFG.

In music, school on January 21, 2008 by Michelle

So I finished my 10k story for English today. :) It’s titled “Second Chances”. It’s a pretty cliche story. I like it though, but maybe it’s just because I like those kind of stories. I have 12,340 words (every word on the page). So I don’t fail.

Cobra Starship is my favorite band right now. Despite the fact that they cuss so much. Favorite song: The City is at War. “Hollaback Boy” is so freaken amusing!

So yeah, ask me if you want to the read my story and I’ll send it to you. Or you can wait and see when I decide to post it on here. Which may be in five minutes or possibly months from now.

eww sick. :[

In food, lyrics on September 17, 2007 by Michelle

Tatoo – Jordin Sparks

No matter what you say about love,
I keep coming back for more,
Keep my hand in the fire,
sooner or later I get what I’m asking for
no matter what you say about life,
I learn every time I bleed the truth is a
stranger soul is in danger
I gotta let my spirit be free to..
admit that I’m wrong and then change my mind
sorry but I have to move on and leave you behind

(Chorus)
I can’t waste time so give it a moment
I realize nothing’s broken no need to worry bout everything I done
live every second like it was my last one
don’t look back got a new direction
I loved you once
needed protection
you’re still a part of everything I do
you’re on my heart just like a tattoo
just like a tattoo I’ll always have you
I’ll always have you
I’ll always have you

I’m sick of playing all of these games
Its not bout taking sides
when I looked in the mirror,
it didn’t deliver, it hurt enough to think that I could stop
admit that I’m wrong and then change my mind
sorry but I got to be strong and leave you behind

I can’t waste time so give it a moment
I realize nothing’s broken no need to worry bout everything I done
live every second like it was my last one
don’t look back at a new direction
I love you once
needed protection
you’re still a part of everything I do
you’re on my heart just like a tattoo
just like a tattoo
I’ll always have you
I’ll always have you
I’ll always have you

if I live every moment,
won’t change any moment,
there’s still a part of me in u
I will never regret you
still the memory of you
marks everything I do.
oooh..

(Chorus)2x
I can’t waste time so give it a moment
I realize nothing’s broken no need to worry bout everything I done
live every second like it was my last one
don’t look back got a new direction
I loved you once
needed protection
you’re still a part of everything I do
you’re in my heart just like a tattoo

just like a tattoo
I’ll Always have you..

So at the moment, I love that song. :) I’m really happy with Jordin Sparks because I didn’t think she was all that great during Idol, but now that she’s doing her own stuff and not other people’s, she’s a lot better. Hopefully, her name sticks around as much as Kelly Clarkson.

Anyway, so I’m sick. :[ All because I left the window in my room open last night and it was extremely cold out. So now I have a stuffy nose and I’m starting to get a sore throat. And apparently I have to start seeing the doctor, again; gross.

So since yesterday Irene had a conversation about things tasting like chicken, I will rant on it for a while. If you haven’t noticed, and not to be racist, when a white person tries something new, they always ask if it tastes like chicken or when they try it, they’d say it tastes like chicken. Like come on, if you ask if durian tastes like chicken, then I’m going to throw a durian at you or tell you to stand under a durian tree on a very windy day. I’ll freaken bite into you and ask if you’re going to taste like chicken for goodness sakes! But don’t mistaken, frog leg DOES taste like chicken.

Okay I’m done. :)

second chances.

In a good laugh, horoscopes, lyrics, vent on September 8, 2007 by Michelle

Second Chances – October Fall

I’m sick of second chances
Cigarettes turn to ashes
I’m standing under street signs
To know the places I’ve been my whole life
I watch the hours pass us
Another one burns to ashes
I’m waiting for your phone call
To come and save me so you can break my fall

I will stand outside, wait for you to come find me
I will keep on my light by my bed till you get home
And I won’t sleep tonight, till you get home
I won’t sleep tonight, till you get home

My bed light’s burning brighter
Boiled like a boxed in fighter
You’ve got me fighting pillows
My eyes just won’t close till you’re at my side
The hours slip to morning
I see the sun coming up
I’m turning off the TV
I’m watching faster than you gave up on me

I will stand outside, wait for you to come find me
I will keep on my light by my bed till you get home
And I won’t sleep tonight, till you get home
I won’t sleep tonight, till you get home

I got your letters that you sent to me
And it feel likes summer
But your far away from me
When I need you here

I will stand outside, wait for you to come find me
I will keep on my light by my bed till you get home
And I won’t (I won’t) sleep tonight, till you get home
I won’t (I won’t) sleep tonight, till you get home

That song says quite a bit a guess. It makes me pretty sad, but that’s all I have been feeling when I’m not laughing obnoxiously with whomever I’m talking to. Maybe it’s desperation for the right person to talk to about everything, or maybe it’s a sign for a change in my lifestyle but whatever it may be, I’m not happy with it. And I kind of wish the right person was there to maybe just think back into last year and ask the right thing.

And now, a random horoscope that I read this week on Yahoo.

From September 5th:
That one hottie is acting so weird you’re not really sure whether they’re hitting on you or brushing you off. Just play along as best you can and the mystery will eventually be fully revealed.

I basically just laughed my butt off. Nobody hits on me.

apologize

In lyrics on August 18, 2007 by Michelle

I’m holding on your rope,
Got me ten feet off the ground
I’m hearin what you say but I just can’t make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
You tell me that you’re sorry
Didn’t think I’d turn around, and say…

It’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late

I’d take another chance, take a fall
Take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
But it’s nothin new
I loved you with a fire red-
Now it’s turning blue, and you say…
“Sorry” like the angel heaven let me think was you
But I’m afraid…

It’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late

Bridge (guitar/piano)

It’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
I said it’s too late to apologize, it’s too late
It’s too late to apologize, yeah
I said it’s too late to apologize, yeah-
I’m holdin on your rope, got me ten feet off the ground…

Pretty much obsessed with this song.<3 All because I went back on Youtube to look for Danny+Anya videos and I came across their contemporary routine which had this song. Yep.

And I’m in a pretty bleh mood at the moment.

I need to start working on summer assignments.

the best

In band, lyrics, movies, sytycd on August 8, 2007 by Michelle

on a perfect day
somewhat like today
we will find each other there
we will find each other there
and somewhat like the night we first met
we can’t forget the way i loved you
but i can’t pretend how far we’ve gone
and we can not mend what damage has been done
no, we can not mend what damage is done now
but than we shall go home and
become the best ones we could have been
oh the best we could have been
oh the best we could have been, oh

Oh gosh, I love those lyrics soso much.<3

Anyway, DRILL DOWN TODAY! :) Bahah, last 3. And then did that twice during sectionals. I won the first and then Lilly won the other one. I just need to fix a few parts in second and I’ll have it totally memorized! But I need to do a little more work on the notes in first still. And third is just like wow; definitely in need of a lot of practicing.

RUSH HOUR 3 COMES OUT FRIDAY! :D  Idk, but I love the whole Rush Hour series. They’re so much fun to watch. Tucker and Chan honestly have amazing partner chemistry in the movie, it’s fantastic.

OMG. I DON’T THINK I’VE EVER SEEN THE BEST SYTYCD SHOW UNTIL TONIGHT. It was honestly so good! So who I want to see in the top 4: Neil (idk, he’s nice to look at) and Danny (he’s just really amazing) then Sabra (she’s fantastic) and Lacey (kind of boring, but better than Lauren). And as for top 2: Sabra and Danny. Neil just doesn’t seem all that great compared to Danny. And I don’t think Lacey is just all that great. :/ But I do admit that the hip hop she did with Pasha was fantastic, even though Pasha seemed to have been the star. But GOSH DID HE LOOK GOOD DOING IT.

just so you know

In music on August 6, 2007 by Michelle

this feeling is taking control of me and I can’t help it.

Oh gosh, I love Jesse McCartney at the moment. Like no kidding! Well actually just one of his songs, Just So You Know, but gosh he’s honestly pretty good looking. ;D AHAH.

null
:DD

Oh hey, so like I spent 4 hours with my parents looking at floor tiles and all that stuff. NOT ALL THAT GREAT. But at least we got something picked out.
