Fifteen minutes left to throw me together
For Mr. Right Now, not Mr. Forever
Don't know why I even try when I know how it ends
Lookin' like another, "Maybe we can be friends."
I've been leaving it up to fate
It's my life so it's mine to make

 
I ain't settlin'
For just getting by
I've had enough so-so
For the rest of my life
Tired of shooting too low
So raise the bar high
"Just enough," ain't enough this time
I ain't settlin' for anything less than everything

as of late.


First: I love those two. I was browsing old photos and stumbled across this. My heart was happy.

Second: Haven't actually written anything in a while. So here goes some stuff on my mind...

I've spent the past couple weeks really reflecting on myself; my past, my present and what I want in my future. I truly believe that every encounter with every person changes me. I've learned *so* much in the past few years as I've grown up. I am thankful for all of those changes that had to happen to make me who I am today. Most recently, Luke broke up with me. Luke and I started dating in January and I was immediately head. over. heels. He did everything perfect, he said all the right things, did all the right things.... and then decided it's not what he wanted. I trust him and I know that he meant that. I thank him for being honest with me. I realized then, more than ever, what I want. I want forever. I wasn't being honest with myself, I thought I was 'too young' or 'not there' but I realized that doesn't matter. If I were to be lucky enough to find someone that I felt, after getting to know him, etc, that he was my 'one', well I'd go for it. I know the things that are important me. value. trust. communication. honesty. respect. & someday I'll find someone that shares those with me. & we'll live happily ever after.

Oh, half of my heart's got a grip on the situation
Half of my heart takes time
Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you
That I can't keep loving you
With half of my heart
Your faith is strong
But I can only fall short for so long
Down the road, later on
You will hate that I never gave more to you
Than half of my heart

Something's gotta give me butterflies
Something's gotta make me feel alive
Something's gotta give me dreams at night
Something's gotta make me feel alright
I don't know where it is
But something's gotta give

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will.
You will have your heart broken, probably more than once, and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken.
You'll fight with your best friend, and you might even fall in love with them.
You'll blame a new love for things an old one did.
You'll cry because time is passing so fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you care about.
So take too many pictures, laugh too hard, and love like you've never been hurt. Because every minute spent mad or upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.

Searching all my days just to find you
I'm not sure who I'm looking forI'll know it
When I see you
Until then, I'll hide in my bedroom
Staying up all night just to write
A love song for no one

you and i both.

...And it's okay if you have to go away
Oh just remember the telephone works both ways
And if I never ever hear them ring
If nothing else I'll think the bells inside
Have finally found you someone else and that's okay
Cause I'll remember everything you sang

Cause you and I both loved what you and I spoke of
and others just read of and if you could see me now
well I'm almost finally out of.
I'm finally out of...
well I'm almost finally, finally, out of words.

just haven't met you yet...

I might have to wait
I’ll never give up
I guess it's half timin'
and the other half's luck
Wherever you are
Whenever it's right
You'll come outta nowhere and into my life
And I know that we can be so amazin'
And baby your love is gonna change me
And now I can see every possibility
Somehow I know that it’ll all turn out
You'll make me work so we can work to work it out
And promise you kid
I'll give so much more than I get
I just haven't met you yet.
the more:
  • bad dates I have
  • I see my friends in relationships they shouldn't be in
  • I get to know myself
  • I get to know what I want
  • I get hit on by creepers
  • I appreciate myself

.... the more I know that someday, there will be someone just *perfect* for me. I think it'll be a perfect compliment. I think I'll be inspired. I think it'll be love.at.first.sight.

&& until then. I'm happy. :o) Life is goood.

Meet me in Chicago
Down by the water line
Step across the gold coast
To my heart and to your wine

<3 Pandora

You paint a picture on the wall
Cause you've got a lot to tell me
But you don't think you could say it better oh baby
You're bringing up times I can't recall
And I'm sure they made your point
But I just can't seem to remember yeah
And I know you've got the feeling
And I can't say I'm agreeing
With your topic of conversation S
o just listen to the reasons
And the hints I've been giving
To the thoughts of my imagination
So come on let me see
I say baby you are amazing
I want to let you see
That you are everything and more to me
I will let you be I will I will
Cause I saw you walking down the hall
And I had a lot to tell you
But I didn't think you could say it better oh baby
You're good at makin me feel so small
And I know you made your point
But I just don't want to remember yeah
And I know you've got the feelin
And I cant say I'm agreein with your topic of conversation
So just listen to the reasons
And the hints that I've been giving
To the thoughts of my imagination
Cause I'm dancing around
In your world of play
I'm takin my time to make sure you stay
I would give my life to make it okay
So come on let me see...

I was totally going to do a fancy cute thing like Meggers and Carrie BUT I'm so sleepy.

So it's so crazy busy at work that they're giving us laptops to work at home. On top of working from 8am-6pm M-F.

So much for taking an extra class next term. Mer. It's ok. It'll be ok. I actually do like working and am glad I can justify sitting on the couch by having my laptop on my lap. Working. Getting paid!

loves.

Just when I had you off my head
Your voice comes thrashing wildly through my quiet bed
You say you wanna try again
But I've tried everything but giving in
Why you wanna break my heart again
Why am I gonna let you try
I love you more than songs can say
But I can't keep running after yesterday
So why you wanna break my heart again
Why am I gonna let you try

broken <3

David came over last night for our weekly dinner date. He shared with me that he met someone on Saturday night. And he wanted to see where it was going to go. But that he loved me and cared for me and only wanted the best for me. He wants to be in my life blah blah blah...

and it hurts. soo bad. Here I was.. ready.. ready to make it work, to make US work and BAM. Like a ton of bricks. Right to the heart. Hmph. =(

decisions...

SO I had a meeting with my advisor last night! I'll be done with school in December of 2012.... It seems like a lonngggg time away but I know it's not, and I know it'll fly! I am excited because I'm minoring in sales! I have some credits for electives but decided to pick up a minor. So my major will be Marketing and Management, and my minor is Sales.

My pickle is this:

MBA or MAOL?

MBA is a Master's of Business Administration & MAOL is an 'alternative' to the MBA; it is a Master's of Organziational Leadership.....

Hmmm...

Well, four years ago I was set on being a social work major.
& now I'm totally NOT that...

so... only time will tell :)
