Kinda Scary, But Really Cool!

OK, so things have been just a tad bit crazy lately, and so today, when I turned on my iPod, I realized I last left off on "One Day You Will" by [who else?] Lady Antebellum. It was so scary--but in such a cool way! The lyrics were almost calling out to me, telling me exactly what I'm going through, how I'm going to get through it, and that all will be well in the end. Not only that, the music itself is so good, and the lyrics are top-notch. I'm going to post them here for y'all, in case some of you might be feeling a little down. Go out and listen to the whole thing here.

You feel like you're falling backwards
Like you're slippin' through the cracks
Like no one would even notice
If you left this town and never came back
You walk outside and all you see is rain
You look inside and all you feel is pain
And you can't see it now

[Chorus]
But down the road the sun is shining
In every cloud there's a silver lining
Just keep holding on (just keep holding on)
And every heartache makes you stronger
But it won't be much longer
You'll find love, you'll find peace
And the you you're meant to be
I know right now that's not the way you feel
But one day you will

You wake up every morning and ask yourself
What am I doing here anyway
With the weight of all those disappointments
Whispering in your ear
You're just barely hanging by a thread
You wanna scream but you're down to your last breath
And you don't know it yet

[Repeat Chorus]

Find the strength to rise above
You will find just what you're made of, you're made of

[Repeat Chorus]

One day you will
Oh one day you will

The Ditzy Chronicles Part 1

Song in My Head: "Lookin' for a Good Time", Lady Antebellum (it's such an awesome song, I can't help but get it stuck in my head!)

Before I start, I may want to explain exactly what this is. This is about the things that I, the ditz, have recently figured out. Oh, yes...

COLA is actually a generic term. Pepsicola has nothing to do with Coca-Cola.

WHAT?! OK, so I always knew that Pepsi and Coke were enemies, but since when is Cola a generic term? Tell me!!!!! *roll*

Wow, that was actually a really short post. ;-)

Something I Noticed...

Song in My Head: "Lookin' for a Good Time" by Lady Antebellum (w00t!! They're awesome!)

Something I've noticed lately is that....most things (mind that I wrote the word "MOST") that I first think that I'm going to totally HATE I end up getting OBSESSED with. Weird, huh? So I decided to make a little list of those things. I put them in chronological order that I got obsessed with them. ;-)

1. Harry Potter: OK...so, I really did not like it at all. Honestly, the books came out when I was 4, and I started reading chapter books a couple years later, but...I think if my mom hadn't bought the books just because, I don't think I'd ever pick them up even when I was able to read them. (sorry if that didn't make any sense) Look at me now: I'm freakishly obsessed with HP; I've memorized the HP trio's full names (including middle name), as well as their b-days. *roll*

2. Country music: Yep, this is on the list, too. Well, when I was little, my mom would say how much she didn't like country, so I just agreed with her just because she was my mom. What I didn't know was that LeAnn Rimes' "How Do I Live" and Faith Hill's "Breathe" and "This Kiss" were country (and I loved those songs when I was little!). So...now, as you probably know, I love, love, love, love country music like crazy.

3. iPods and iTunes: Even in 6th and 7th grade, I had a little grudge against peoples with iPods. Until I got my first two years ago. And then...the rest is history! :-)

4. Shannon Hale (more specifically, PA): Well, I think it's just easier if you read this explanation (read Ch. 3) then me to retell the whole story. :-?

5. LRRH: Seriously, guys, I have a confession to make: I did not like LRRH at all when I first went on. Honest to goodness. I dunno why, I guess when I clicked the PA subforum, the whole thing seemed too whacked out to me (I know what y'all are gonna say: "speak for yourself!"), and all the siggie pics were all new to me. That was in Nov 2007. A few weeks later, I went on again, and I liked it better and better each time I went on (OK, well the Great Crash of 2008 prevented me from going on for a week or so) until I finally decided to join. Maybe I'm just a little obsessed with it.... ;-) Well, I've made terrific friends on the forum, and I feel so totally lucky to be an LRRHer, where geeks rule the world! muahahahahahah :-D
