Song of the Week

Hey everyone!

The song of the week is Only Hope” by Mandy Moore. There also is a Switchfoot version, but I prefer the original. I don’t LOVE love Mandy Moore, but I do really like this song. It’s from A Walk to Remember, which is where I first heard it. BTW Walk to Remember = GREAT movie!!! 4 stars (****). Lyrics at the bottom.

Also, I’ve known about this song called “Rangers” by A Fine Frenzy for a while, and it’s good, so I thought I’d share. Megan, I think you especially will like this song. It just sounds like your thing. ; )

Lyrics:

There's a song that's inside of my soul
It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again
I'm awake in the infinite cold
But You sing to me over and over and over again

So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands
and pray to be only Yours
I pray to be only Yours
I know now you're my only hope

Sing to me the song of the stars
Of Your galaxy dancing and laughing
and laughing again
When it feels like my dreams are so far
Sing to me of the plans that You have for me over again

So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope

I give You my destiny
I'm giving You all of me
I want Your symphony
Singing in all that I am
At the top of my lungs I'm giving it back

So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I pray to be only yours
I know now you're my only hope

Have a great day!

LJ Pimping

This is a very special post just to pimp the website LiveJournal. Yes, I love Blogger, it’s very simple and easy to use, but LJ . . . . it’s like vampire Blogger on steroids. The possibilities in using it are AMAZING. It’s so easy to post pics and videos, embed media, change text font, size, and color, etc. etc. Also, LJ has TONS of communities on every topic imaginable. For example, the LJ community Lion&Lamb is a Twilight fan community where fans post fanfiction updates, fanart, news, polls, questions, discussions, etc. etc. You can create your own community, join communities so you can post there, or watch them so you can get messages when they are updated. You can post individual posts as either public or private, with private being only viewable by your friends. I really really love using LJ, and I KNOW anyone who likes Blogger will love it too. The only setback I have found using LJ is it is very HTML based, so it helps to know just a tiny bit of basic HTML, for example a / means the end of something. If you run into problems with the HTML, it’s very easy to find help on what to do and how to fix it. I might even be able to help a little bit too.

Go check it out! MY LJ is : http://butterfli4life.livejournal.com. I have both private and public posts. I’ve posted fanart on there before a while ago, and I plan on doing it again. Those posts will be public.

P.S. And yes, I am very aware that this sounds like an ad or a commercial. Sorry about that!
