Note to Self: Don't Read Scary Books

Reading scary books is terribly unbecoming of me. I cringe and get spooked and repine, a lot! So to calm myself down after a good sit down with Hide by Lisa Gardner, I planned to go on a good trail run early one morning. Actually, trail run wasn't the right word I came to find out. I was going to the woods in my neighborhood and I found my old path over grown. Okay, I took that in stride and trekked through the brush. I had fully accepted that I was going to have a major case of Poison Ivy by the time I got home and that my trail was never going to clear out. So I happily bounced through the bushes, but jumped at every noise. (Paranoia at it's finest) Then I came to a very well used trail.... No over-growth to speak of. It CREEPED me out. What if I had a Christopher or Tommy (book characters) living in my own backyard? O.O I was very weary after that. I crept down the trail in one direction to find a shed with a window facing my exact location. Since I had read that book recently I jumped behind a tree and then fled for my life. Totally ridiculous, I may add. One other part of the path was just a small loop. The last part went to a yard in my neighborhood. I am still not entirely sure I trust the trail now but I will run on it again... but with a friend next time..... Just to be safe..... I need to stop reading freaky books :P Agreed?

Missing you

Flash backs and old memories,
are all that comes from re-reading these.
I can't help but feel a sadness return,
when it's for you that I yearn.
All alone since you left,
just flipping through pictures.
Seeing your face,
reading your words.
Sitting idly and waiting for you,
waiting to see you come into view.
But you are eluding,
on new landscapes intruding.
So still I will read and reminisce,
waiting for the day you will return looking so careless.
As if creating suspense was your only intention,
or at least the only one you care to mention.
Return quickly,
on you I wait.
Until then, I miss you.

Love Remains the Same -Gavin Rossdale; We've Got a Big Mess On our Hands -The Academy Is..

This song is more sentimental. I like it because it's slow and Gavin's voice is nice, albeit gritty sometimes. I think it's unique and good either way though.

This The Academy Is... song is... different :P It has 'Ah's in it that sound like some kind of instrument. I probably sound crazy :) but really you'd have to listen to understand.

So there's my recommendations for the day :P Sorry for the lack of description in some places. It's really something you just have to hear for yourself!

If Life Were a Movie...

If life was a film-makers creation, I think the job description of little kids would be as the comic relief :P Little kids just look at things so differently and are so brutally honest. Yesterday I was with my pregnant friend, a little boy and some other people. The little boy's mother says to him "Look she's growing a baby in her tummy! Isn't that cool???" The little boy looks at his mom, then looks at my friend. "Her? Her tummy has a baby?" He asked. "Yeah! It's great!" His mom gushed.
You could see the thought process in this little boy's mind. As far as he was concerned, my friend had trapped a baby in her tummy, was holding it hostage and his mom thought it was 'great!'. He was just wondering 'Where does that leave me??' O.o  He's so cute though and I love him to death! Little kids make my day :)

The Strenographer -Relient K

This song bounces all over the place and it makes for a strangely entertaining listen. I like the techno at the end. It's really short because it's just a demo. But the beginning reminds me of The Academy Is... Speaking of which I want to find some more of them. I shall return bearing fruit of my youtube searching... hopefully :)

Who I Am Hates Who I've Been -Relient K

This song just sings to my heart. There's always a chance to change who you are.
"And I was positive that unless I got my self together I would watch me fall apart and i can't let that happen again. Because then you'll see my heart in the saddest state it's ever been. This is no place to try and live my life.
I'm sorry for the person I became. I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change. I'm ready to make sure that I never become that way again. Because who I am hates who I've been."

Always Working on New Things

So I have two scarves which I need to finish and lots of beads I feel obligated to use. But now I have glass bottles at my disposal! My brain has been cranking out ideas all day of what to do. Because I have to do SOMETHING :P I'm recalling seeing melted down bottles at the beach before. They were put in a kiln so that they melted to flatness. I think it would be cool if I could add a twist to that... but I don't have a kiln. Hmm. Let the games begin!
