Taylor Swift and Things

Even with much teasing from my brothers I have been getting really into Taylor Swift music! I know your juding me....

"I look around, turn the radio down He says, Baby is something wrong?? I say, Nothing I was just thinking How we don't have a song? and he says Our song is the slamming screen door Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window When we're on the phone and you talk real slow 'Cause it's late and your mama don't know?"

As a song writer myself I really enjoy Taylors lyrics. I like how she uses real peoples names, draws from life experiences and relates to the things she loves the most. In this perticular lyric she is realating music to life essentially making them the same. For the reccord if I boy ever said this to me i'd probably faint.

Tomarrow is Christmas Eve. My family had our "Selfish Christmas" present fiesta tonight and we will be driving to New Mexico tomarrow. I am really exited I usually see each set of Grands at least once a year but I have not seen the ones on my Dad's side in almost 2 years bgecause my family saw them when I was in Africa! My Grands are getting older and time with them I have realized is precious.

I am currently: watching freaks and geeks (for the millionth and one time). I am over analyzing it and comparing it to my life! If you have not seen or heard of this show I am not suprised but you should check it out ASAP!


Much love! Happy holidays!

Sleepless but not in Seattle

I am sleepless but not in Seattle and sadly there is no perfect boy waiting for me atop a high building to declare his undenying love
ha! as if that could be my reality.

Tonight like most college nights is one of restlessness and rememberance
I am thinking how proud I am of you.
You over came adiction, depression and self hate.
You however did not overcome Bioplar disorder
as that will be with you the rest of your life.
You must learn to live and love youself.
You won't have it easy,
You must fight every day.
I want you to know above all else that
I love you and you should love you too!

I am remembering and reliving the pain of adolecense. The pain of first loves. The pain of trying to fit in to a world where you don't belong. The pain of fnding out who you are. The pain of parents. The pain of fake friendships and the times when music is the only source you can trust. People say all the pain, heartache and struggle is worth it in the end. Why can't it be worth something now? I believe it can! You struggle so that you can conquor and over come. You hurt so that you know true love when you find it. You lose so you know to be thankful for what you have. You win and you learn to smile. You fall and you get back up. You let go so you can learn to live. You dance and the whole world is watching. You sing loud enough that the whole world can hear. You make mistakes so you can learn to sing and dance and you help others learn along the way. I believe each stuggle, each pain is worth something NOW! Live for this moment now! Carpe diem!

I know this is really just a rant/ramble but I really needed this now off into a deep slumber!

live and breath with the wind

I don't think that anybody even reads this. Do my thoughts really even matter? Is this pointless? Maybe, but I enjoy it.

Life is crazy as usual! Finals are next week and I can't believe that my first semester of college is pretty much over. Last week was Thanksgiving break. I went back to Denver and then to Nebraska. In Denver it was great seeing my friends from high school. We picked up right where we left off as if not a single day had passed. We laughed about old times and told stories of new experiences about our seprate lives in different corners of the world. I saw a few of my best friends but sadly did not get the opportunity to visit all of them as part of my break was spent in Nebraska visiting family. My mom is from a small town-North platte, Nebraska. It just so happens to be the largest train hub in the world. I honestly loved seeing my family but I missed my Great Grandma Abbott who died in April of 2008. Shes my insperation for everything I do in life.

I am now back at Mesa but I go back home to Denver Next Thursday for a month and a half (ish). I have a feeling this will be wierd!! The Sunday after I get back I am going to see Spring Awakening with my mom at the DCPA (Denver center of performing arts). I am SUPER exited for that and it should be some good mother daughter time!

Currently I am...
Stressing, destressing, forgiving an old friend, overcomming my flaws, planning a trip with my brother and Lisa to the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, writing a blog when I should be sleeping, procrastinating, wishing for the cute boy at 11:11, cleaning and learning to live and breath with the wind!
