Michael Jackson
I have a thing for Michael Jackson. I know, ever since he died everyone is obsessed, but my obsession started long before his tragic death.
Back in middle school, I remember my best friend at the time, Alaina, and I would always listen to a Jackson 5 cd. Soon after, we started becoming more and more obsessed with Michael. We made t-shirts while he was on trial that said "smooth but not a criminal". That summer of his trial, we were at the beach together with my family. The day the verdict of his trial was to be announced, we were out and about shopping and eating lunch. We realized at luncht aht we might not make it home in time for the verdict so we made everyone finish eating quick so that we could make it back to our beach house in time to hear the news. It was a funny day.
I have accumulated lots of Michael Jackson things over the years. Several t-shirts, pins, books, movies and all of his music. I have done reports on his life several times in school and always enjoy watching specials about him on tv. He was truly one of a kind.
John Mayer
With only twelve more days of school, its almost impossible not to think about the summer months aheaad. Making all sorts of plans for the nice weather. Along with many other things, I am going to a John Mayer concert with my mom. I actually enjoy John Mayer's music wuite a lot, despite all of the rumors about his personality and what not.
Some favorite John Mayer songs:
- Slow Dancing in a Burning Room
- 83
- Back to You
- Clarity
- Belief
- Bigger Than My Body
- Heartbreak Warfare
and pretty much any other song of his.

Dream, Imagine, Believe
Last Spring Concert
Tonight is our high school choir's spring concert. This is the last time I will perform with many friends I have been singing with since sixth grade. Wow, where does all the time go?Yesterday when our smaller ensemble had our last practice, I got kind of emotional. I starting thinking about everything we have all gone through and realized that it is all coming to an end. As much as I have complained about choir, I will miss it. It has been such a huge part of my life for the past four years so tonight is the end of something special.
We're overrated anyway
doing everything by hoursgot a real flare with excuses
where loose ends still have your sins
it's complicated
this time I think it could be
triangulated
it could be just what we need
so what you say we give it up and walk away
we're overrated anyway
we're kissing without kissing
got it down to a fine art
love's supposed to keep you young & frisky
we grew up and wide apart
not now not ever, no it's never a good time
how will the good times ever roll along
comparing photos that are no longer there
just wondering where it all went
it's complicated
this time I think it could be
triangulated
it could be just what we need
so what you say we give it up and walk away
nothing to salvage anyway
oh, oh, oh none of the above
oh, oh, oh none of the above
oh, oh, oh none of the above
oh, oh, oh
it's complicated
this time I think it could be
triangulated
it could be just what we need
so what you say we give it up and walk away
we're overrated anyway
it's complicated
this time I think it could be
triangulated
it could be just what we need
so what you say we give it up and walk away
nothing to salvage anyway
This is another Imogen Heap I love. It relates to me because I just ended a relationship and basically like the song says, there was no reason to stay together.
"So what you say we give it up and walk away; we're overrated anyway"
That basically sums up the entire relationship. The only reason we were together at the end was because we were going tp prom together. Am I sad about being single? Not even a little bit. I am more happy now than I have been in awhile! :)
My job for you: Regardless of your relationship status, just enjoy spending time with people you love.
