awesome music :)

So I am currently listening to "100 years" by Five For Fighting, and I seriously think it's one of THE best songs ever. It's got a decent piano part, too. At least at the beginning. And it's just a brilliant song altogether. And now it's over. Now I'm listening to "stay" by Lisa Loeb. She's also rather awesome, even though she's like forty. But that shouldn't be held against her, because she's one of the few artists out there today who actually sings her songs instead of yelling them into the recording device to the beat of a loud drum and some other stuff.

You say I only hear what I want to.
You say I talk so all the time so.
And I thought what I felt was simple,
and I thought that I don't belong,
and now that I am leaving,
now I know that I did something wrong
'cause I missed you.
Yeah yeah, I missed you.
And you say
I only hear what I want to:
I don't listen hard,
don't pay attention
to the distance that you're running to anyone, anywhere,
I don't understand if you really care,
I'm only hearing negative: no, no, no.
So I turned the radio on,
I turned the radio up,
and this woman was singing my song:
lover's in love, and the other's run away,
lover is crying 'cause the other won't stay.
Some of us hover when we weep for the other
who was dying since the day they were born.
Well, well, this is not that;
I think that I'm throwing, but I'm thrown.
And I thought I'd live forever,
but now I'm not so sure.
You try to tell me that I'm clever,
but that won't take me anyhow,
or anywhere with you.
You said that I was naive,
and I thought that I was strong.
I thought, "hey, I can leave, I can leave."
Oh, but now I know that I was wrong,
'cause I missed you.
Yeah, I miss you.
You said, "I caught you 'cause I want you
and one day I'll let you go."
You try to give away a keeper,
or keep me 'cause you know you're just scared to lose.
And you say,
"Stay."
And you say I only hear what I want to.

And I totally didn't just copy all that off the Internet at all... but it IS a good song. You have to hear some of her songs to hear just how rather awesome she is, because of the simple fact that she's not some crazy half-drunk singer trying to make music by yelling a lot and banging a drum-she's actually singing and she actually has something that sounds somewhat like backup music. It's rather awesome. Okay I'm done ranting about Lisa Loeb. In case you were wondering. But I have some more lyrics for you! Yes, they're Lisa Loeb Lyrics (alliteration is rather awesome). They're of "Truthfully." It's probably my favorite Lisa Loeb song ever. Here it is:

This isn't what I like to call flattery,
but I know that I believe that I've found what's true
that I've found what's you
Truthfully I
I'm finding finally
Truthfully you
you helped me find at last
Truthfully we
are finding out what's true
And truthfully I am finding out what's you
Surprise, cause I was flying the plane
Surprise, cause now I'm smiling again
Surprise, cause you showed up with your parachute
Surprise, I'm kind of happy you showed up
Truthfully I
I'm finding finally
Truthfully you
you helped me find at last
Truthfully we
are finding out what's true
And truthfully I am finding out what's you
Truthfully, I really can't explain,
I'm floating, I'm smiling again
Truthfully, I can't ignore you,
cause I've been waiting for you
Truthfully, I'm not desperate,
I haven't changed my mind since we first met
but the last thing I want to do
is tell you that I'm right for you
Truthfully I
I'm finding finally
Truthfully you
you helped me find at last
Truthfully we
are finding out what's true
And truthfully I am finding out what's you
I'm finding finally
Truthfully, I'm finding out what's you
I'm smiling again
Truthfully

And I totally didn't copy those lyrics off the Internet either! But whatever. I have to go do homework. Or rather, I have to go review geometry for a test tomorrow. And I have to review with my dad. And...yeah. So I have to go now. I'm leaving. Wait, dad's not done with whatever he's doing. And now he is. So I'm going.

Hey! A post without an LOL!!

Yes, surprising but true, I have decided to post more than about two sentences. How epic is that? Well, this week, we have SOL tests, so Tuesday, Wednesday, and today I had to do testing in the morning, and tomorrow I don't have to come into school because I don't take Algebra 2, so I don't have to do the SOL. And the people who don't do the SOL don't come in until 12. So I'm probably going to bike around and do absolutely nothing for a while and then go to school. Perfect day. Not really. And then on Saturday I'm getting my glasses (AND I'LL FINALLY BE ABLE TO SEE LONG DISTANCES!! WOOT!!) and then I'm babysitting. And I'll actually be able to see the kids (that was supposed to be a joke, but it was really lame so you can disregard it).
I have to work today, too. I got my first paycheck last night, and it still says I'm working desk/snack bar, which isn't cool because I'm a GUARD. And it was almost the same as my first paycheck last year, too, even though I worked an hour more this year. Oh, well. What the heck. Yesterday was the staff meeting, which is why I got the paycheck (thanks, captain obvious). And I have to wear a bikini. I HATE bikinis. More exactly, I hate WEARING bikinis. I don't look good in bikinis. And it's just really awkward for me to be wearing a bikini when I'm not a size zero. I'm not sure what size I am, but I'm DEFINITELY not a size zero. And it feels really awkward for me. I don't know why. It just does.
I REALLY hope I got a decent grade on the History SOL. I've never gotten a full 600 (that's full marks), I don't think, and I don't think I've ever gotten an advanced pass since I left elementary school. Then again, I don't think I've EVER gotten an advanced pass. I don't remember. But I think it went well. The weird thing is, though, whenever I think a test went well, I often end up doing rather lousily on it. That's why I only have an A in chorus and English this year. And gym. I think. I'm not sure. And that's it. It's rather annoying. But whatever.
So....................................yeah.

Yes, I know. Another photo.

I know this is like the millionth photo I've put up, but I don't care. It's cute, and for once, it's not a celebrity one. It's rather awesome, though. And I love it.

yes, another bloody photo

I know I'm going overboard with the lol celeb thing, but I don't care. And I know this one is kind of awkward, but I think it's still funny. Kind of. Cute, more like, but whatever. I like it.
