"You" by the Pretty Reckless

As you can tell by now, I'm pretty obsessed with Taylor Momsen and the Pretty Reckless right now. But it's for good reason! She's such a talented lyricist and singer and she's only 17! She's definitely someone I look to for inspiration. And this song is really singing to me right now:

 "You"
You don’t want me, no
You don’t need me
Like I want you, oh
Like I need you

And I want you in my life
And I need you in my life

You can’t see me, no
Like I see you
I can’t have you, no
Like you have me

And I want you in my life
And I need you in my life

You can’t feel me, no
Like I feel you
I can’t steal you, no

Like you stole me

And I want you in my life
And I need you in my life

This song is so simple lyrically and musically, but it's unbelievably beautiful and truthful. It captures the feeling that so many young people, male and female, go through in adolescence and young adulthood. "You" is so ethereal and wistful.

This isn't the official video (there isn't one yet), but I thought it was wicked awesome anyways:

"Anything But Ordinary" by Avril Lavigne

 

Sometimes I get so weird

I even freak myself out

I laugh myself to sleep

It's my lullaby

Sometimes I drive so fast

Just to feel the danger

I wanna scream

It makes me feel alive

Is it enough to love?

Is it enough to breathe?

Somebody rip my heart out

And leave me here to bleed

Is it enough to die?

Somebody save my life

I'd rather be anything but ordinary please

To walk within the lines

Would make my life so boring

I want to know that I

Have been to the extreme

So knock me off my feet

Come on now give it to me

Anything to make me feel alive

Is it enough to love?

Is it enough to breathe?

Somebody rip my heart out

And leave me here to bleed

Is it enough to die?

Somebody save my life

I'd rather be anything but ordinary please

I'd rather be anything but ordinary please.

Let down your defenses

Use no common sense

If you look you will see

that this world is a beautiful

accident, turbulent, succulent

opulent, permanent, no way

I wanna taste it

Don't wanna waste it away

Sometimes I get so weird

I even freak myself out

I laugh my self to sleep

It's my lullaby

Is it enough?

Is it enough?

Is it enough to breathe?

Somebody rip my heart out

And leave me here to bleed

Is it enough to die?

Somebody save my life

I'd rather be anything but ordinary please

Is it enough?

Is it enough to die?

Somebody save my life

I'd rather be anything but ordinary please

I'd rather be anything but ordinary please.

black and white kittehs

I went to see the midnight showing of Kung Fu Panda with some friends last night and the best scene was when we got to see Po (voice by Jack Black) as a baby panda. So I, of course, wanted a tiny baby panda that second, but upon further pondering decided on a black and white kitteh instead. So here you go, adorable kitteh pictures!:

friendship bracelets

Friendship bracelets got me through Winter finals with what little sanity I had left at that point, but throughout Spring Quarter, I forgot how much making a friendship bracelets relieved my stress. But forgotten no more! I have recently reacquainted myself with the beautiful past time and have been churning out bracelets as I melt my brain watching tv shows (like Make It or Break It!)

Make It Or Break It

My senior year of high school my friend Emily Tait and I fell in love with an ABC Family original series, Make It Or Break It, a show about four elite gymnasts and their dramas both in and out of the gym. I hadn't been up to date on the show for all of my time in college, but then my friend Michaela Hanson told me that she had begun to watch the show herself. I, of course, had to start watching it again after a few texts from Michaela about the crazy shit that goes down in this show. So thanks to Ms. Hanson, I have watched three episodes today only and have been sitting in my room, not doing my homework, for the past three hours. Damn you, Michaela! hahahaha

Warped Tour 2010

I decided that I'm still obsessed with last year's Warped Tour and the amazing experience I had with my Press Pass (gotta get one again this summer!). Here's some photos I took:

as you can probably tell, I love photographing Breathe Carolina. They're such amazing performers!
