We can say we've found our own way.

I'm switching my blogging activities to tumblr. It's better for small posts as well as big, and I always come upon just quotes or songs that mean a lot to me. I want to be able to post two or three of those a day sometimes, without it seeming like too much. Tumblr will help me out with that. It's not just a technical change that I'm after either. I feel like I'm going through a big change right now and I want to start over. I have a lot of good and bad things in here, but I just feel like at least the ones before the last month, aren't quite me. I mean they were obviously me, I did them. I'm not necessarily a better person, just different. Hopefully better.

You need to take your cup and get off your knees.

I did this one.


Being Content in a Train Wreck

You’re always on your knees

Hating your own stupid head

Telling everyone everything

about absolutely nothing

the real you’s swept under your bed

If it’s not going to change

It might not be that bad

Learn to accept yourself and know

I mean everything I’ve ever said


You’re not your own pain

Not a burden or a deadly sin

Think what you want, we’re still here

Mistake yourself for a mess

If you need help, we’re all in


Hopes not working out too well

Not when what you feel’s

making your own private hell

I know it’s got you in a bind

and I know you just want out

Believe me, people need others

At least that’s what I’ve learned about


You’re not your own pain

Not a burden or a deadly sin

Think what you want, We’re still here

Mistake yourself for a mess

If you need help, we’re all in


Everything you’re doing

It’s not doing anything

You need to take your cup

and get off your knees

Learn to breathe

Butter on a summer day when she's around.

It's weird that my dad is getting married in 21 days. That's right, on new years eve. I don't know if i mentioned that part before. But it's not like people have anything else to do then, right? I'm supposed to stay at my aunts for two days after, but I'm going to try to see if I can find something else. I don't think he realizes how ridiculous it is to try to make me stay in Sandy on new years eve. I guess I'm going to have to go to the wedding, but I don't support it. I'll just stand behind everyone silently loathing. At least it will be early-ish and not very long. They have some sort of consciousness of the fact that it's new years. I've started to get worried about being able to get out of here. No matter who promises me a job, it never seems to pull through. I always say I'm going to go apply everywhere, but then the car is gone and/or has no gas. Hopefully I can tomorrow, but I'll see I guess. It's also annoying because I haven't really been able to get anything at all for the past few months. I know I should be more concerned about other things, but it'd be nice to have new clothes, or to be able to go and eat with my friends, or to be able to just buy people Christmas presents. Oh well. I just have to apply at more places and someday I'll have money.

Other than that, I'm pretty good. I haven't had to do homework for a few days, which is a big change. I will over the weekend, but maybe I'll get lucky and actually get myself to space it out. Probably not, but it would be nice. I'm still sick, it's not too bad though. Just a cough drop, some ibuprofen and it's like I'm not. I even got enough motivation to clean my room a little today. Well I think I'm done now. I wouldn't say that this was a complaining entry. Just...I don't know. It didn't feel like complaining. Have a good day and enjoy the video.

We're on a sinking ship, we're escaping it.

I'm blogging at eleven in the morning, which is kind of weird for me. I have a lot of homework to do though, and if I don't blog now I'll do it later to procrastinate. I don't even know what to write about right now. I just know I haven't blogged for a while.


I'm not exactly sure what I can write about. The things that have been around me lately are exactly what I'm trying to leave behind, rather than write about them. Hence, my last post. Well earlier this week I saw Say Anything again. I felt bad most of the time though. They sounded really good, the whole band was going all out, and still only the very front of the crowd was moving. I couldn't even get up there with them because of douche bags blocking us. Oh well, at least I got to hear Woe and Every Man has a Molly. I got to meet the band too and got a CD signed! That made it all worth it. I listen to In Defense of the Genre a lot during the wintery parts of the year. Not because of the songs in particular. Just because two years ago I got it for my birthday so this is the time when I listened to it a lot. Probably the worst time in my life, and it made it better even though it had nothing to do with any of it. I'm not sure what else to write about. I usually just write about the bad things, which is what I'm trying to stay away from. Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't have a lot to write about. I'm doing pretty well right now. I'm sick! But it's not even that bad haha.

Lately I've been listening to Person L's new album, The Positives. It's really good and exactly what I've been needing. I think it might actually be what a lot of my friends need right now. It's cool because usually the lyrics of songs kind of feel like they're just on top of everything. On the Positives though, nothing in particular is in control and they're just woven throughout the music. Another one that I've been able to get more into lately is Paramore's Brand New Eyes. It didn't hit too big at first, but it's gotten really good with time. That's one thing I like about music. Even the same song can sound really bad at first and then like a masterpiece a week later. And no, I'm not ashamed for telling people to listen to Paramore. It's good.

Edit:
Make sure to listen to Good Days on The Positives and All I Wanted on Brand New Eyes. Those are my favorites at least.
