Day twenty-one: A song you listen to when you're happy

When I'm happy I listen to all kinds of music.

Like seriously. I'll just put my mp3 player on random and listen to whatever plays. Loud music, sad music, happy music, it's whatevs. Hehe. 

Choosing this song was hard. 

After some extreme cheek biting and puzzlement, I just turned on my mp3 player and chose the first song it played. 

This was I Need a Hero by Jennifer Saunders. 

It's pretty cool that it was that particular song that randomed on, because it's really relatable. 

"I need a hero

I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night

He's gotta be strong

And he's gotta be fast

And he's gotta be fresh from the fight.

I need a hero

I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light

He's gotta be sure

And it's gotta be soon

And he's gotta be larger than life

Larger than life.

Ahem. Yeah. I love that song. It's a good song. I like the sentiment. 

Anyhoo, we went out into the wilderness today. It was really awesome. I'm prolly going to do a post about it tomorrow, because it was so nice, it deserves a post. 

In the meantime here's a gif that makes me very happy.

Cheers!

Grrrrrrrrr

Hallo there, me beauties.

It's day twenty!! Which means (drumroll) I'm two-thirds of the way through!

That means you awesome people

Only have to endure ten more days of this!

Cue happy dance.

I promise to not do another challenge like this for a very long time. *snicker*

Anyhoo.

The song for today is

A song you listen to when you're angry. 

When I get mad, I have two extremes. I have the "I HATE EVERYONE AND I'M GOING TO LET THEM KNOW THIS!" extreme, and I have the "go into my room and cry" extreme.

But either way, I feel very Rumpelstiltskin like.

And I tend to listen to loud, drummy music.

Nickelback tends to make me feel better pretty fast.

Good bye!

You guys rock.

DAY NINETEEN

A song from your favorite album

Hallo. Today is yet another day of the never ending challenge. 

And I'm choosing: Now or Never by Josh Groban

Because Josh is always the most awesome.

"And it's no one's fault

There's no black and white

Only you and me

On this endless night

And as the hours run away

With another life

Oh, darling can't you see

It's now or never

It's now or never

I love that song! It's so pretty and so sad. *sigh*

...... I get so distracted doing posts when I'm watching something at the same time. 

Like now, I'm watching Leverage. 

And every time this guy shows up:

I do this:

Because Stirling is Crowley on Supernatural. 

Leverage

Supernatural

And I cannot help myself. 

I made a cool bookmark today. I'm rather proud of it.

I also got a package in the mail. It was burdened with glorious pressies!!

Happiness is a pressie in the mail. Seriously. 

Sorry for the randomness. 

Cheerio!

Higher than the pines

Three Random Facts:

1.) I finished season two of Once Upon a Time!!

Kay, I was actually pretty impressed... A lot. Not to the point where I giggled and clapped like a retarded seal, the way Bella does. (I love you, Bella.) But I had feels. And I wasn't expecting that.

I really, really like Neal. He's possibly my all time favorite character of the show.

3.) I wore a Dean Winchester inspired outfit today. I was very proud of it and felt all tough and cool. I forgot to take a picture, but it looked something like this. only blue and black.

I need a life.

3.) DAY EIGHTEEN of the challenge!

A song you wish  you heard on the radio

While I am inundated with songs that hope.....one day..... to be music, it tends to be pretty rare that I hear good music when I turn on the radio.

I'm going to cheat and do two songs. BAM! Switching things up! You didn't see that coming, did you!

I'm so cool.

Honestly? I'd love to hear some Josh Groban. Jooooooooooooooooosssshhhhhhhhhh!!!!! Frankly, I don't even know what station he'd be on, but if I did, I'd listen to that station.

You're the Only Place

"Maybe I'm young and in the ways of love naive

Maybe I'm desperate for a reason to believe

There wasn't any way I thought that we would fall

I've seen perfection in a rainbow in the sky

I've seen a child make the coldest grown man cry

But loving you I thought was greater than them all"

However, since we tend to listen to the country station whenever we turn on the radio, I'd really like to hear some more Scotty McCreery, because his voice is really good and his songs are fun. 

"I'll love you to the moon and back

I'll love you all the time

Deeper than the ocean

And higher than the pines."

v

*Whispers* Good bye. 

But then I turned on the radio...

I'm on day seventeen!

... ... ... ... ... ... ... Yay.

Hehe!

I feel like I started this challenge like:

And then about a week in, I was more like:

And now, I'm like, "How do I start another post!?"

Hehehe. I feel like that guy in Jumanji when I start a new 'challenge' post.

But anyway! It's day seventeen, and I need to post a song I hear often on the radio.

I always hear Justin Timberlake's Mirrors. 

But I'm not going to do his version, because I don't like him.

So here is Cimorelli's cover of it.

And now I'm going!

I LIKED WHAT?!

Aaaaaaaand the SPN gifs are back!

Day sixteen: A song you used to love and now hate.

This one is haaard.

Because I'm more of a "hate the song and then love" it sort of person, not the other way around.

So I puzzled.

And thought.

And chewed on my mouth some more.

And then remembered this one song.

Kaaaaaay. There was this song that Celine Dion does, that I heard when I was ten or eleven or so. I liked the beat, it was fun.

But then, I re-listened to it a couple months ago.

EYE OPENER.

It's a bit inappropriate!

I drove all night

to get to you 

is that alright?

I drove all night

crept in your room--

And that's where I stop, because I'm too embarrassed to post anymore, ya know? 

So yeah. I used to love it. 

Now I'm like "Skip that horrific specimen of awkwardness!"

Hehehe.


Anyway, I want to say thanks a bunch to all of you lovelies who commented on my last post. You are all so nice and sweet.

Cheers!

Essentially me?

You know that part, in Doctor Who, when Rory's dad is keeping that log about the cubes? And since the cubes never do anything, it's basically the same log every day?

"Brian's log. Day sixty-seven. Cube was quiet all night. Once again. Cube was quiet all day. As per previously. No movement. No change in measurements. End of entry."

That's how I feel like my posts are getting. 

And then you guys are probably like Rory: "Wow. I can't wait to see what happens on day sixty-eight."

But hey, I'm half-done with the challenge! To quote Tim Hawkins, "I'm halfway done, dude!"

Anyhoo.

Day fifteen: A song that describes you.

I mulled a bit over this one, because I honestly couldn't think of a single song that fit me. 

And then I remembered this one Taylor Swift song. 

And I was like BOOM! That one!

Never Grow Up by Taylor Swift

Your little hand's wrapped around my finger

And it's so quiet in the world tonight

Your little eyelids flutter cause you're dreaming,

So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light

To you everything's funny, you got nothing to regret

I'd give all I have, honey

If you could stay like that

Oh darling, don't you ever grow up

Don't you ever grow up, just stay this little.

Oh darling, don't you ever grow up

Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple

I won't let nobody hurt you, won't let no one break your heart

And no one will desert you

Just try to never grow up.

There's something about this song that just makes me cry. I can totally relate to it. 

It's not that I don't want to grow up, per say. (I mean, I don't really.) But it's more like I wish I had appreciated being a kid more. I always wanted to grow up and be a big girl. Seriously! I hated  being a little kid. My mom says I was a teenager by the time I was eight. 

You're in the car on the way to the movies

And you're mortified your mom's dropping you off.

At fourteen, there's just so much you can't do

And you can't wait to move out someday and call your own shots

But don't make her drop you off around the block

Remember that she's getting older too

And don't lose the way that you dance around in your pj's getting ready for school

That verse was me. That whole, "there's just so much you can't do." 

That was me. 

I wanted to be treated as an adult way before I actually was one. I didn't want to be one of the little girls. I think I missed out on a lot of experiences because I was too worried that I'd look like I was still a very small person. I was waaaaay more outgoing when I was little. (Now, I'm quite possibly the most introverted person in the family...) But then, nothing bothered me, really. I couldn't wait to get a job and have a life. 

And then... ... ... Real life started. 

Suddenly, I'm not footloose and fancy free. Suddenly I am  an adult and adult things that I need to do come crashing in, and I'm not ready.

I hate change. 

And the last part of the song is me  at the moment. 

 

Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room

Memorize what it sounded like when your dad gets home

Remember the footsteps, 

remember the words said 

And all your little brother's favorite songs

I just realized everything I have is someday gonna be gone

So here I am in my new apartment

In a big city, 

 they just dropped me off.

It's so much colder than I thought it would be

So I tuck myself in......

and turn my night light on

Wish I'd never grown up

I wish I'd never grown up

Oh I don't wanna grow up, wish I'd never grown up

I could still be little

Oh I don't wanna grow up, wish I'd never grown up

It could still be simple.

And yeah. There you go. That's why I love that song. It's me. 

Silly me. *Sheepish grin*

I think I'm just going to post this without re-reading it, so I don't get too embarrassed and decide not to. 

God bless, guys.
