New Song of the Week

New Song-of-the-Week is "Connect the Dots" by The Spill Canvas. I believe I downloaded this in a Twilight fanmix from Edward's perspective, and if so it fits very well. It's great by itself, though. Just a sweet, romantic, holding-hands-on-the-beach sort of song. I LOVE it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lyrics:

If your feet hurt from walking too much,
then I will tend to them, with a velvet touch.
If your lungs just don't want to work today,
then I'll perform a mouth to mouth until you're okay.

Don't you just love the feeling of my fingertips,
circling your lips.
Don't you just love the desire taking hold of you,
I can tell you do.
I know all your favorite spots,
and tonight we will connect the dots.

If your muscles are wound up and tight,
then I will loosen up the knots until it feels right.
If your ears just ache from listening,
then I'll supply the remedy in the melodies I sing.

Don't you just love the feeling of my fingertips,
circling your lips.
Don't you just love the desire taking hold of you,
well I can tell you do.
I know all your favorite spots,
and tonight we will connect the dots.

Don't you just love the feeling of my fingertips,
circling your lips.
Don't you just love the desire taking hold of you,
well I can tell you do.
I know all your favorite spots,
and tonight we will connect the dots.

Dedicated to Hannah, because she knows why.

Traci

I don't know how I found her, but there is this girl on YouTube and her name is Traci J. Hines. She mostly does Disney song covers, but there are some other songs in there as well. I think she impersonates (not sure if that is the right word) Disney Princesses for a living. She is very pretty and has a LOVELY voice. I always enjoy watching her videos. Her latest video that she posted is a cover of the song "Legacy" by Nicole Nordeman. Even if you don't watch it, read the long description. It is so refreshing and wonderful to find someone who has their priorities straight. Here is the link to the video.

Good job, Traci!!!!!!!!!

Dreamings . . .

So, I've been hearing about 'dream pairings' at different places online, like the 'Dream Team' for Twilight before Rob and Kris was Gaspard Uliel (sp?) and Emily Browning.

I got to thinking what my dream pairing would be, dream pairing meaning the best possible pairing of an actor and an actress. I don't really have roles in mind for them, but I think if Zac Efron and Kristen Stewart were paired together, it could be amazing. Zac has the possibility for mind-blowing chemistry, and so does Kristen, and if the two of them had chemistry TOGETHER it would SPECTACULAR. So yeah, that's my dream pairing.

Zac Efron <3 Kristen Stewart

Ta-da!!!!And it's really wierd because I saw today (online) that Kristen would not be presenting with Robert at the Oscars, but she might be presenting with Zac. I did NOT steal the idea. And no, this has nothing to do with the fact that I have an amazingly huge crush on Zac and Kristen has the same name as I do. Nothing at all. Really. : P

I Feel Like Crap

Lately I’ve been getting a lot of migraines. A LOT. And I don’t know why.

(My mom thinks it’s because I haven’t been on a regular sleeping schedule, which is true. I get up at 5 AM, got to bed in between 9:15 and 10:45, and I often take a couple of catnaps during the day.)

The last couple of days I’ve been trying to be asleep by 9:30 and not take any naps. But the past three days I’ve done that, I’ve gotten migraines all three days. The past two days weren’t too bad, it was more like a headache lurking in the shadows waiting for me to take a wrong step so it could take hold.

But they’re getting really, really annoying . . . like I-get-majorly-pissed-off annoying. Yes, THAT annoying. The one I had Monday was horrible. I took 2 Motrin, and they barely helped. I just had to deal with it. Add to that the fact that I had a lot of school to get done, had been sitting in the car for 2 hours, one of the keys on my laptop popped off and I spent an hour getting it back on, the sun was glaring in my eyes, it was cold outside but hot in the car, and I couldn’t find anything on my iPod to listen to . . . well, that equals me wanting to lay down on my bed and bawl like a baby for no particular reason. I talked to Megan about it, and she suggested ice cream (or frozen Oreos), Pride & Prejudice (or other cry-worthy movie), and THEN I could cry. It was fantastic advice. But, like I said, I was behind on school, so that didn’t happen. It sucked. Majorly. I listened to The Fray (my emo music) all night.

It certainly did NOT help my emotional state in the least, which has been precariously balancing on the knife edge of crying myself to sleep every night.

And do you want to know the really wierd part? Grissom gets migraines. Yeah. Freaky. My favorite character of all time has a health condition and I get it too. Which is just like Hannah having psoriasis and then it turns out I might have it as well. It's freaking me out. In fact, it's kind of like that movie Bedtime Stories, which I haven't seen, where the kids say things in the story and it happens in real life. Well, not that much, but kind of.

So yeah, I’m surely ya’ll wanted to hear about that. But I got it out, so I feel better. And tired. I think I’ll go to sleep now.

G’night.

This video is so pretty, and perfect for the song.



Enjoy, I sure did!

New Song of the Week

In honor of the wonderful Ms. Hannah and her Top-Purple-winning dance solo at Club Days, the song of the week is "Feelin' Good" by Michael Buble.

Don't get me wrong, I love this song and think it's amazing in it's own right.

Lyrics:

Birds flying high
You know how I feel
Sun in the sky
You know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by
You know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me

And I'm feeling good,
I'm feeling good

Fish in the sea
You know how I feel
River running free
You know how I feel
Blossom on the tree
You know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me

And I'm feeling good
Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't you know
Butterflies all havin' fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when the day is done
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me, for me

Stars when you shine
You know how I feel
Scent of the pine
You know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And I know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me

And I'm feeling good

I'm feeling good
I feel so good

Taylor Swift CSI Episode!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a very short preview for the episode that Taylor Swift is going to be in, but they usually don't come out this early. All the different girls are actually the one character who goes through life changes and is played by Taylor Swift. I think it's awesome we're going to get to see her alive, not just laying on the ground and in flashbacks. And it's so sweet that Nick's going to get close to her!!!!

Enjoy!

Here's the link for Thursday's new CSI episode:

I usually don't post them here, but this one made me laugh (about/during the show) for the first time since Grissom left. I'll be watching Thursday.

New Song of the Week . . .

is "Running Up That Hill" by Placebo. I first heard it on a CSI episode, then I looked it up, downloaded it, and have since become obsessed with it. It's an amazing song, and you can see the clip where it was featured in CSI here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKWfu_YuNc8

I recommend watching it, if only for the reason that it's one of my fav scenes ever. : )

This song certainly ranks in my top 25 favorites of all time.

Lyrics:

It doesn't hurt me.
Do you want to feel how it feels?
Do you want to know, know that it doesn't hurt me?
Do you want to hear about the deal that I'm making?
You,
It's you and me.

And if I only could, I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building.
Say, If I only could, oh...

You don't want to hurt me,
But see how deep the bullet lies.
Unaware, I'm tearing you asunder.
Ooh, There is thunder in our hearts.
Is there so much hate for the ones who love?
Tell me we both matter don't we?
You,
It's you and me,
It's you and me who won't be unhappy.

And if I only could, I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building.
Say, If I only could, oh...
You, It's you and me,
It's you and me who won't be unhappy.

Come on baby, come on darling
Let me steal this moment from you now
Oh come on angel, come on come on darlin'
Let's exchange the experience oh...

And if I only could, I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems...

Say if I only could, I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems...

Say if I only could,
I'd make a deal with God,
And I'd get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill, With no problems...

Say, If I only could...
Oh...Be running up that hill,
With no problems...

If only I could,
Be running up that hill...

My online Chemistry class takes place in a kind of ‘meeting room’, which is only open during a certain time, i.e. class time. Thus, from 1:10 to 2:50 every Thursday the room is open. The teacher only logs in about 1: 15 and class usually ends around 2: 40. The teacher can log out when class is over, but the room is still open until the time block is over. Occasionally, students will stay late (after the teacher) to chat and everything while the meeting room is still open. Last week, there were only three people who stayed late: myself, Candice, and Josh. This past Thursday, the three of us were the ones who stayed late again. Our conversation went roughly like this:

Me = M
Candice = C
Josh = J

J: It’s us three again!

C: We should start a club or something.

M: Yeah, we should! What would we call ourselves?

J: The Last Three

M (at the same time): The Stay-Laters

C: The Gangsta Krill *(this is me. The gangsta krill thing is a Chemistry class inside joke which I will explain later)* Stay Laters Last Three!!!

M: Wow. That sounds intimidating. We could just say our name and all would fall at our feet! We could take over the world!

J: Not really.

C: We totally could!

/A little later/ *(Me again. When the teacher isn’t logged in, generic classical music plays in the background. There are never any vocals.)*

C: There’s a guy singing. That’s weird. There’s never any singing.

J: Yeah

M: That’s really weird.

C: It sounds like Josh Groban.

M: Yeah. This should be our theme song!

C: We just say our name, sing our Josh Groban song, and all fall at our feet!

M: Yo! It’s the Gangsta-Krill-Last-Three-Stay-Laters! Be afraid! Be very afraid!

J: Wow.

Hope you enjoyed this little clip of the hilarity of my Chemistry class and fellow students. Join me again next week for my new episode: “The Gangsta Krill”. This is Kristen, signing off. *ggrssscrklgrs*

A Letter from God to Women

When I created the heavens and the earth, I spoke them into being. When I created man, I formed him and breathed life into his nostrils. But you, woman, I fashioned after I breathed the breath of life into man because your nostrils are too delicate. I allowed a deep sleep to come over him so I could patiently and perfectly fashion you. Man was put to sleep so that he could not interfere with the creativity.From one bone, I fashioned you. I chose the bone that protects man's life. I chose the rib, which protects his heart and lungs and supports him, as you are meant to do. Around this one bone, I shaped you.... I modeled you. I created you perfectly and beautifully.Your characteristics are as the rib, strong yet delicate and fragile. You provide protection for the most delicate organ in man, his heart. His heart is the center of his being; his lungs hold the breath of life. The rib cage will allow itself to be broken before it will allow damage to the heart. Support man as the rib cage supports the body. You were not taken from his feet, to be under him, nor were you taken from his head, to be above him. You were taken from his side, to stand beside him and be held close to his side.

You are my perfect angel.....You are my beautiful little girl. You have grown to be a splendid woman of excellence and my eyes fill when I see the virtues in your heart.

Your eyes......don't change them.

Your lips - how lovely when they part in prayer.

Your nose, so perfect in form.

Your hands so gentle to touch.

I've caressed your face in your deepest sleep.I've held your heart close to mine.

Of all that lives and breathes, you are most like me. Adam walked with me in the cool of the day, yet he was lonely. He could not see me or touch me. He could only feel me. So everything I wanted Adam to share and experience with me, I fashioned in you; my holiness, my strength, my purity, my love, my protection and support. You are special because you are an extension of me.

Man represents my image, woman my emotions. Together, you represent the totality of God.

So man......treat women well. Love her, respect her, for she is fragile but yet strong at the same time.

New Song of the Week

Ta-da! I have a new song of week for you guys!!! It is: “Watch the Wind Blow By” by Tim McGraw. The lyrics are good, but the song/tune itself is even better. I have loved this song for a long, long time.


Creek goes rippling by
I’ve been barefooting all day with my baby
Brown leaves have started falling
Leading the way

I like it best just like this
Doing nothing all the way
So let’s lay down in the tall grass
Dreaming away

And all I wanna do is let it be and be with you
And watch the wind blow by
All I wanna see is you and me go on forever
Like the clear blue sky
Slowly
There’s only
You and I
And all I wanna do is watch the wind blow by

Girl, you know you told me not so long ago
To let it go, then let it pass
And all your troubles and your sorrows
They won’t last

So let me kiss ya now, little darlin’
Beneath this autumn moon
Cold winds and other seasons
Will be here soon

And all I wanna do is let it be and be with you
And watch the wind blow by
All I wanna see is you and me go on forever
Like the clear blue sky
Slowly
There’s only
You and I
And all I wanna do is watch the wind blow by

All I wanna do is watch the wind blow by
All I wanna do is watch the wind blow by

~Kristen
