Thoughts...
Oct. 30th, 2005 09:51 amI've been thinking about my dad a lot lately, and consequently I made these four icons with lyrics from songs that make me think of him. The first is especially about him, because it's Carmen from The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, who I obviously relate to. The lyrics are from the song Walking Away by Lifehouse. I don't particularly like that icon, because I made it about a six times, and could never get it to look the way I wanted, but this was the one that was closest. The other three, all of which I am infinitely more fond of (especially the last one), have lyrics from the song Tomorrow by Avril Lavigne, which has always reminded me of him, and is basically my song to him.
And I want believe you
When you tell me that it'll be okay
Yeah I try to believe you
But I don't.
When you say that it's gonna be
It always turns out to be a different way
I try to believe
Not today...
I don't know how I'll feel
Tomorrow, tomorrow.
I don't know what to say
Tomorrow, tomorrow is a different day.
It's always been up to you
It's turning around, it's up to me
I'm gonna do what I have to do
Just don't
Give me a little time
Leave me alone a little while
Maybe it's not too late...
Not today....
I don't know how I'll feel
Tomorrow, tomorrow.
I don't know what to say
Tomorrow is a different day.
And I know I'm not ready...
Maybe tomorrow...
And I want believe you
When you tell me that it'll be okay
Yeah I try to believe you
Not today...
Tomorrow it might change...

I have not given an update on my actual life in a few weeks, and as today is my first free Saturday since August, I feel this is the perfect opprotunity to do so.
Choir Retreat: A weekend Miss Lori designed to torture us. No, seriously, it is a weekend filled with 8 1/2 hours of practice, and nothing else. Now I love the people in my choir, I do. I love singing with them. I hate living with them. Ah well, such is life. The good news is, we did not get snowed in this year, like last year. (Though there were some déjà vu moments where I was like, "No. Way." ... But they turned out to be false alarms.)
School: Why am I giving an update on school? I have nothing to say about school. (This is probably why I haven't given an update on my actual life in a few weeks... because I haven't had an actual life in a few weeks.) Government - not even gonna go there. Brit Lit - now there's something! I wrote a new thesis statement (because my teacher didn't like my original one, remember?). It is:
The epic poem Beowulf exemplifies the horrible literary techniques of over-repetition and unbelievable plot, coupled with the addition of unnecessary cultural customs.
Jazz was editing it and she was like, "So basically your thesis is 'Beowulf sucked!'"
"Yeah," I said, "basically."
She looked approving, as well she should have been. Beowulf was worse than both A Tale of Two Cities and Anna Karenina. Now that's saying something!
Other than that, not much is going on. I have almost no homework this weekend, I don't have a second job anymore, and my mother bought me Starbucks yesterday. Life is good.
Random Icon I Made That I Really Like (lyrics from the song Stanley Climbfall by Lifehouse):
Jerry the Frog Spoof Line of the Moment: Sam: Aragorn's dark and brooding.
Frodo: Just like me, only taller.
Deep Thought of the Day: The land that had nourished him and had borne him fruit now turned against him and called him a fruit. Man, I hate land like that! ~ Jack Handy
Yule Ball Icon
Oct. 3rd, 2005 10:39 amOkay, so I know this isn't the best quality in the world, but I made this icon this morning, and I can't tell you how happy it makes me.
*giggles happily* It's the little things, folks, it's the little things....
