Yes, I did cry when the VMA's paid tribute to Amy Winehouse. She had a beautiful voice and its heartbreaking to see the world lose talent like that.
So in honor of the lovely woman, today's song of the day is:

No Greater Love by Amy Winehouse

"There is no greater love,
Than what I feel for you.
No sweeter song, no heart so true.

There is no greater thrill,
Than what you bring to me.
No sweeter song,
Than what you sing, sing to me.

You're the sweetest thing,
I have ever known.
And to think that you are mine alone.

There is no greater love,
In all the world, it's true,
No greater love,
Than what I feel for you."

"We got a whole lot of money,
But we still pay rent.
'Cause you can't buy a house in heaven.
There's only three men that Imma serve
in my whole life,
it's my daddy and Nebraska and Jesus Christ."

Hey y'all, it's week two. Week two of my senior year. 35 weeks to go. I'm not counting down because I want it to be over, I'm counting down because I don't want it to be over. I love high school. I love being a kid and have such a minimal amount of responsibilities. These are some of the best moments of our lives and I'm not ready to see them end.

I'm in a very good mood, so I'm going to go through my day and tell you all the things about it.
-Whether I will ever admit it or not, I love waking up at 5:30 in the morning when it's still dark outside and being at the school to run before the sun is up.
-I love eating breakfast with Beth, Sarah, Rachel, and Taylor. My girls. They put me in a great mood and they get me ready to take on my day.
-I love having every class but one with my best friend, Sarah. She understands when I complain about school and all the people in our classes.
-I love stopping by my favorite teacher's room in between almost every single class period.
-I love calculus.
-I love the yearbook staff. There are only 4 of us and it is one of the best times of my day.
-I love having lunch with my two best friends.
-I love spending athletics with girls that love me as much as I love them. We have so much fun when we work out together. When I talk, I know they listen to every word because they love me and what I have to say. My teammates are my sisters and I'm going to miss them so much when I graduate.
-I love getting a phone call everyday at 5:03 PM.

I have a beautiful life, there aren't enough words to explain how blessed I am.

Song of the day: Thank You by Keith Urban

"And I've seen so many things,
That I just can't explain.
But the miracle of miracles is how,
With your love I was saved.

And I thank you for my heart,
I thank you for my life.
I thank god for grace and mercy,
And that you became my wife.
The day I started breathing,
Was the day you took my hand.
And 'til the day I die,
Baby,
I'll forever be your man.
And I thank you, I thank you."

Song of the day: Every Part of Me by Steve Earle
I grew up listening to Steve Earle, Springsteen, Mellencamp.. You get the point. Anyways, I decided to put all the lyrics on here because, well, they're beautiful.

I love you with all my heart
All my soul, every part of me.
It's all I can do to mark
Where you end and where I start you see.

-Living long in my travels left a trail of tears behind me
and then there are so many times
didn't think this kind
would ever find me.

I love you with everything, all my weakness
All my strength
I can't promise anything except that my last breath
will bear your name
and when I'm gone they'll sing a song
about a lonely fool wandering around the world and back again
but in the end they find the founder.

I love you with all my heart
all my soul and every part of me.

Across the universe I'll spin until the end and then I wonder
If we should get another chance
could I have that dance forever under
the moon and skylit stars shining down on where you are
and I love you with all my heart
all my soul and every part of me.

Song of the day: Born This Way by Lady GaGa
"I'm beautiful in my way,
'Cause God makes no mistakes.
I'm on the right track, baby,
I was born this way.

Don't hide yourself in regret,
Just love yourself and you're set.
I'm on the right track, baby.
I was born this way."

I've loved this song ever since the first time I heard it. It makes me feel beautiful. Also, I was told several times today that I was pretty/beautiful and I had a t-shirt on and my hair in a ponytail. Thank you to everyone who gave me the reminder that I need daily. Anyways, today was a good day. One of those days where everything feels not necessarily perfect, but like everything is in order.

Goodnight y'all.

Storm Warning.




Hey y'all. Today was the first day of my senior year. It was good, but I can tell it's going to be a difficult year. Mainly because I don't want it to end and I will be devastated when it does.

-As most of you know, we have a new principal this year. And yes, she did make new rules. The main ones are:
1)When the tardy bell rings the door to every classroom will be locked and to get into the classroom, a student must go to the office and get a tardy slip.
2)If a student gets their phone taken up, their parent or guardian must go to the school and retrieve it.
3)No food during class.

I've heard people complaining all day and I have a really simple way to solve their problems!
Get to class before the bell rings(!) and don't have your phone out(!). Both of which the teachers have been telling us since we were old enough to have 7 classes a day and cell phones..

I know it's upsetting a lot of students and all I can say is that if you do what you're supposed to, it could be a good year. Your complaining and whining is going to make it worse for everyone, including yourself. Just do what you have to do and get it over with. There is no way around it.

On another note, the seniors found out today that we will be able to paint our parking spots this year! We're the first class to do so and I think it's really cool.

Song of the day: The Sound Of Sunshine by Michael Franti & Spearhead
"They say that miracles are never ceasing, and every single soul needs a little releasing."

"‎Do not allow people to dim your shine because they are blinded. Tell them to put on some sunglasses, 'cause we were born this way bitch!"
— Lady Gaga

Friday, August 19, 2011

Would you walk to the edge of the ocean,
Just to fill my jar with sand?
Just in case I get the notion,
To let it run through my hand.
Let it run through my hand..

Well, I don't want the whole world-
The sun, the moon, and all their light.
I just want to be the only girl,
You love all your life.
You love all your life.


Would you catch a couple thousand fireflies??
Yeah, put them in a lamp to light my world.
All dressed up in a tux and bowtie,
Hand deliver to a lonely girl.
To a lonely lonely girl.

Well, I don't want the whole world-
The sun, the moon, and all their light.
I just want to be the only girl ,
You love all your life.
You love all your life.

Lately I've been writing desperate love songs,
Mostly I sing them to the walls,
You could be the center piece of my obsession,
If you would notice me.

IpodShuffle

-Put your iPod on shuffle and put the 10 songs that come up.
Well just so you know, I'm going to put my recently played playlist on shuffle and write those 10 songs down!


1)Save by The Rocket Summer
-I used to listen to this song constantly and I even wanted part of the song tattooed on me (Save Me, Amaze Me). It's about going through the motions of life and never feeling anything, and begging to find someone that makes them feel alive.

2)Accidentally in Love by Counting Crows
-I don't remember the first time I heard this song, all I can remember is the music video with that really creepy rabbit. Anyways, this is one the songs I get ready to in the mornings because it puts me in such a good mood. It makes me want to sing at the top of my lungs.

3)The Good Left Undone by Rise Against
-LOVE this song. I love good lyrics and this song is made of beautiful words. I love listening to it, no matter what kind of mood I'm in.
"All because of you, I believe in angels. Not the kind with wings, no not the kind with halos. The kind that bring you home, when home becomes a strange place."

4)You and Tequila by Kenny Chesney (feat. Grace Potter)
-I've always been a HUGE fan of Kenny Chesney, and I have to say that this is one of my all-time favorites. When I first heard it, I received a completely different message than what was intended, but either way, it's beautiful.

5)The Truth by Jason Aldean
-Another song with great lyrics. I love Jason Aldean.

6)Hips Don't Lie by Shakira
-Hahahahaha. I absolutely LOVE this song, and I'm not afraid to admit it. It makes me want to dance, and not many songs have that affect on me. This song is another one that can always put me in a good mood.

7)Born This Way by Lady GaGa
-I know some people hate her, but I love Lady GaGa. She is seriously one of the most talented artists in the music industry. I may not always like how she uses her talent, but I have to give her that. I also like the fact that she promotes loving yourself for who you are and never listening to people who say you aren't good enough. She loves her fans and that's not something you find a lot of. I would see her live in a heartbeat.

8)Just By Being You by Steel Magnolia
-I'm a sucker for a love song, and this is one of my favorites. The words, the music, the singing, I love EVERYTHING about this song.

9)Loving County by Charlie Robison
-Ahhh. This man is the one of the only Texas Country artists I will listen to. I've seen him live 3 times and every single time it's been amazing.

10)Marry Me by Train
-Hands down, one of the best songs... Ever. There is rarely a time I get in my car without listening to this song. This song will be played at my wedding.

-Discuss your first love and first kiss.
Well.. I feel like all of my posts are about this, but I guess I'll just write about it again!
I guess I'll make a timeline, or something like that.

January, 2009
-Freshman year, I was weird and awkward and had absolutely no self confidence. I played basketball and that was probably the only way that Brenton Lee knew who I was. He was one of those guys that was always being talked about and to be totally honest, I had no interest what-so-ever in getting to know him. Well, as fate would have it, through one of my friends, we communicated for the first time on January 17Th. That night, he called me and we stayed on the phone for 5 hours. Every single night ended with a phone call that lasted until about 2 in the morning and every single morning began with a "good morning beautiful" text. Needless to say, I was in for way more than I bargained for.

February, 2009
-February 6Th, to be exact. After talking to each other for almost a month, we finally had a conversation, face to face. It was homecoming day and he picked me up from the school dance and took me home. He met my parents and all that jazz and of course, I got my first kiss. He had told me that he was going to and I didn't believe him. I knew that when he met me he would run away after discovering how awkward I was, but he didn't. My head was in the clouds.

April, 2009
-Somewhere between February and April, I fell in love. Yeah, I know what you're thinking and just shut up(!), I loved him then and I still do. Of course with most first loves comes a first heartbreak and mine came on April 17, but whatever. He changed his mind momentarily and I can't hold that against him.

August, 2009
>-Brenton finally realized where he wanted to be and knowing me, I was waiting for him when he came back for me. I don't give up easily, and I couldn't be happier that I didn't give up on him.

September, 2010
-We waited awhile to start dating, because as most of you know, there is a slight age difference.. But I know that deep down, that doesn't matter. Labels are nothing compared to the fact that I get to be with the person that I love most.

August, 2011
-It's almost been a year and things are as good as ever. I love everything about our relationship and even though it was a rough road, I wouldn't change a single thing.

<3
