this song literally takes my breath away. absolutely stunning. and this video is wonderful. i'm so in awe of the world and its ability to produce such masterpieces.

the open door

so my internet hiatus only lasted for an hour. haha. i haven't blogged in a while. lots of stuff has been happening. the show is over and i'm going to miss it more that you could ever know. but i'm strangely relieved that it's over in a way. it was a long and hard 2 weeks, that's for sure.

i think i've pretty much made my college decision. but i don't want to say anything until i commit to it. but i'm excited.

suddenly i see.

i've decided to take an internet hiatus for a couple of weeks. and by internet i mean facebook and blogger. i feel like they distract me. and i feel like i'd like to experience life unplugged again for the first time in a long time. so goodbye for now.

tonsilitis and slumdog.

i'm sick. again. why, immune system? why must you torment me with your inability to defeat the invaders that plague my system? right now, the only way i feel normal is if i take ibuprofen. i'm coming down from my last dose at the moment and i'm starting to feel the crappiness. it's run-through week and next week is tech week. fml.

on a lighter note, i saw slumdog millionaire. finally. and i loved it, of course. you'd have to be heartless to hate it. the soundtrack is one of the most amazing albums ever. period. i've been listening to it nonstop. i've decided that when i grow up, i want to be exactly like m.i.a. because she makes amazing beats and music. i love paper planes and the little ditty she does on o saya. i bought a couple of her other albums as well. she's such a creative force.

it's been a long time since i rock and rolled.

oh the busy times of spring. the music man, prom dress shopping, and casual dieting have been keeping me mighty busy. it's all downhill from here: my last full month of high school before summer, college, life, and love. you start saying to yourself "this is the last..." a lot. this is the last audition. this is the last liturgy. this is the last bac assembly. this is the last now before everything.

is anyone in the mainstream?

happy commercial greeting card holiday

i hope you eat an ungodly amount of caramels.
i hope you propose to your significant other via fortune cookie.
i hope you receive a thousand red roses.
i hope you go out to dinner to some french restaurant you can't pronounce the name of.
i hope you realize you've been in love for a long time.
i hope you use this day to love if you've not been doing so already.
i hope you listen to romeo and juliet by dire straits or the killers all day.
i hope you receive various stuffed animals.

i'll be watching romantic comedies filled with all of the things listed above.
don't mind me. i'm just er..jealous.

i'm living proof it can last a long time

today i watched mulan for the first time in forever, so be forewarned that this post may very well radiate female empowerment.

i'm sick today. when i'm sick, i tend to watch disney movies in bed, drink a lot of orange juice, play ilike music challenge, and put off doing things i should be doing. i'm a weird kind of sick. i think i have some sort of sinus thing. i'm not really stuffy stuffy per se, but i feel congestion up around my eyes. and it's annoying. my head feels pressurized like a can of pledge. similes ahoy.

in other news, i really like green tea and bishop allen.
