Quote of the Week

Hey guys!

I've also decided to do a Quote of the Week. Pretty much the same rules from the Song of the Week apply. Book titles will be in italics, song and movie titles in quotes.


This week's Quote of the Week:


“From the first moment I met you, your arrogance and conceit, your selfish disdain for the feelings of others made me realize that you were the last man in the world I could ever be prevailed upon to marry.”

-Elizabeth Bennet, "Pride and Prejudice"


Yes, I am a hopeless romantic and proud of it.

New Song of the Week

The new song of the week is . . . (drumroll please) . . . "Crack the Shutters" by Snow Patrol.

Crack the Shutters by Snow Patrol

You cool your bed
Warm hands down
On the broken radiator
And when you lay them freezing on me
I mumble 'Can you wake me later?'

But I don't really want to stop
And you know it so it doesn't stop there
You run your hands from my neck to my chest

Crack the shutters open wide
I want to bathe you in the light of day
And just watch you as the rays
Tangle up around your face and body

I could sit for hours
Finding ways to be awed each minute
'Cause the daylight seems to want you
Just as much as I want you

It's been minutes, it's been days
It's been all I will remember
Happy lost in your hair
In the cold side of the pillow

Your hills and your valleys
And marked by my intrepid fingers
And in a naked slumber
I dream all this again

Crack the shutters open wide
I want to bathe you in the light of day
And just watch you as the rays
Tangle up around your face and body

I could sit for hours
Finding ways to be awed each minute
'Cause the daylight seems to want you
Just as much as I want you

Song of the Week

Looking at Megan's blog, I decided I really liked the 'Song of the Week' idea, especially since I have rapidly changing song obsessions. So, I stole her idea and have added this myself. The song will change every Sunday and remain until the next Saturday. I will also post the song lyrics when I change the song.



"Thinking of You" by Katy Perry

Comparisons are easily done
Once you've had a taste of perfection
Like an apple hanging from a tree
I picked the ripest one, I still got the seed

You said 'Move on'
Where do I go?
I guess second best
Is all I will know

'Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you, thinking of you
What you would do if you were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh, I wish that I was looking into your eyes

You're like an Indian summer
In the middle of winter
Like a hard candy
With a surprise center

How do I get better
Once I've had the best?
You said there's tons of fish in the water
So the waters I will test

He kissed my lips
I taste your mouth
He pulled me in
I was disgusted with myself

'Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you, thinking of you
What you would do if you were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh, I wish that I was looking into your eyes

You're the best and yes I do regret
How I could let myself let you go
Now, now the lesson's learned
I touched it, I was burned
Oh, I think you should know

'Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you, thinking of you
What you would do if you were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh, I wish that I was looking into your eyes

Oh, won't you walk through
The door and take me away?
No more mistakes
'Cause in your eyes I'd like to stay, stay
