Favorite lines from Battle Studies:
1. Heartbreak Warfare: "Drop his name. push it in and twist the knife again. Watch my face, as I pretend to feel no pain, pain, pain."
2. All We Ever Do is Say Goodbye: "Why you wanna break my heart again? Why am I gonna let you try?"
3. Half of My Heart: "Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you that half of my heart won't do"
4. Who Says: "Who says I can't get stoned? Plan a trip to Japan alone. Doesn't matter if I even go"
5. Perfectly Lonely: "Nothing to do, no where to be, a simple little kind of free. I'm perfectly lonely."
6. Assassin: (FAVORITE SONG ON THE ALBUM) "Im an assassin and i had a job to do. Little did i know that girl was an assassin too."
7. War of My Life: (SUPER DEEP SONG) "I've got a hammer and a heart of glass I got to know right now which walls to smash. I got a pocket, got no pill, If fear hasn't killed me yet than nothing will."
8. Edge of Desire: "Don't say a word, just come over and lie here with me."
9. Friends, Lovers or Nothing: "Anything less than i love you is lying"
P.S. I nixed Crossover because he didn't write it and Do You Know Me because it only has like 20 words in the whole song.

just a thought.
i just need to say how proud i am of myself for the happy blog i last wrote.
so often i feel like im complaining all the time but it makes me feel good to go back and read things i've written that are actually joyful.
last night was the first readthrough for High School Musical 2.
it is sooo cheesy but honestly (and kind of secretly) i can't wait to start working on it!
on Monday the music director said were gonna be hitting the music hard and i am overjoyed!
gah! i can't explain to you how excited i am about doing this.
it makes me feel accomplished in some werid, unexplainable way.
soooo...in light of Thanksgiving (tomorrow)-here are some things i'm thankful for.
-God's provision: especially in these last few months where i've been broke as a joke, he's provided for me EVERY SINGLE TIME.
-my roommates: they make me so mad but they're always there for me and have made for my 4 years of college the best i think they ever could have been. living with them was the best decision i've ever made
-my friends that i don't live with:all of them have played a HUGE part in my growing up and becoming who i am. i love them all and am extremely thankful for their friendship.
-my family: my parents, my brother, my extended family-they seriously are the best family to be apart of. they support me in whatever i do even when i feel like i suck at it.
-that i'm almost done with school
-being cast in a play (finally!)
anyway-things are good right now and i'm lovin it.
now i gotta get to packin and showerin and hair doin'
loves!

WOOPY DOO!!!
I DID IT! I DID IT!
I finally auditioned for a play and it felt soo good.
i've never been in a play that wasn't for church or elementary school and im so excited to finally be doing one.
theater is so much different from movies or television and i finally get to see that other side.
i most definitely miss being in front of a camera but those opportunities will arise again.
WHOO. it just feels good to finally be following through with things i've wanted to do for like 10 years.
so i'm in the ensemble and i'm kinda frustrated because my voice (not to sound cocky) is definitely more mature and better than the majority of the people I was up against. but to be fair, the part i was auditioning for didn't have much solo singing so I guess they were trying to find someone with "the look" which unfortunately in most cases, i don't have.
but it's cool because this is my first play!
I can't wait to be apart of the finished project and rehearsing and being so tired from singing and dancing but having to continue because not everyone is trying their hardest.
AHHH!
it's gonna feel great.
anyway...that's my exciting news for now.
(still single...but theatre mostly always cures that :D)
i'll keep you updated on my theatre-ness!!!
in other news...i LOVE LOVE LOVE John Mayer's new CD, Battle Studies.
I cannot stop listening to it.
it's uhh-mazing. He never ceases to amaze me with his music.
done.

BLAHgging.
i just realized the last thing i posted was a Christmas list.
how extremely selfish of me.
i also just read a draft that i haven't posted and it sounds really bitter so i'm gonna delete it.
anywho. let me tell you a little bit about my last couple months.
I haven't really had anything spectacular happen to me.
matter of fact , i've been sick a lot and practically every part of my body has been in pain over the last month. it hasn't been the best week either BUT despite my present situation, i am seeing the joy of the Lord in my life.
I'm not complaining, I'm praising.
and fo sho...that will make everything feel better. Just knowing God's goodness has been enough for me.
okay. yes i'm happy.
but there is one small thing that's been getting on my nerves.
EVERYONE is getting into relationships.
engagements, marriages, dating, EVERYTHING!
everyone except me (and i'm sure a lot of other people too, but just let me vent right now).
i was talking to one of my friends and telling her that i feel so left out.
i'm so tired of hearing, "when you least expect it it'll happen" or "When you're not ready, that's when it'll happen!"
okay no.
For 21 years I've not been ready.
For 21 years I have been least expecting it.
so now would be the time for someone extremely special to come into my life.
i'm just saying.
okay okay.
no more whining.
i know God's got someone so amazing waiting for me, that when i look back and read this, i'm gonna feel so lame.
i'm not gonna try to rush something that is God given.
sometimes i just need to be a girl and complain about it.
all done.

Christmas List
I know it's WAY early and kind of lame to be posting my Christmas wish list.
but there are some things i want.
most i don't need but I wanna put the list somewhere and this is my favorite place at the moment so here goes (not in any particular order):
1. Nikon D60 (or just really any Nikon SLR anything. I'm not that good of a photographer but i want to get better and do it more often)
2. Macbook Pro (they're sooo pretty and my laptop is FALLING apart)
3. All the Michael Jackson CDs I don't already own (anything before 1979)
a. Got to Be There
b. Ben
c. Music & Me
d. Forever Michael
4. Full Size Keyboard with touch sensitive keys (any brand will do. as long as there are recording features and it comes with a sustain pedal)
5. The Office Season 5
6. Perfume-not sure what fragrance yet
7. All the Disney classics on DVD (that'll be kinda hard...stupid vault)
that's all (i know right...it's actually ALOT) i can think of right now. I'll continue to add more as i think of them. I know it's an expensive list but they're all just wishes that i'm not expecting to get all at one time but i'd eventually like to have all of them at some point in my life.
