Thanks for being there for me!

so, lately (aka, this weekend... lol) I've been pretty obsessed with theme songs, lol. Lauren thinks im strange. basically, i got some random song stuck in my head while tubing (that i cant remember what it was, so obviously it meant a lot to me... lol) that i decided was my theme song. actually, funny story, bc i was singing it (pretty loudly) and then announced to the group that it was my theme song (wait! i remember! it was All I Wanna Do by Sheryl Crow) and then i sat up and there were a TON of people behind us that all heard me, lol. it was HILARIOUS :) yet, slightly embarrasing... lol. anyways, a few hours later what i decided was Kacee's from a year agoish came on the radio :)

dont worry, the extremely boring part of the story's over, lol

now the less boring part, aka the point :) i use smilies a little too much... oh well!

I've been watching the 7th season of friends for the past few days (i know, im lame)... and i decided that right now it's theme song I'll Be There For You by the Rembrandts. it's so perfect! here are the lyrics (although, everyone probably knows them...)


The Rembrandts - I'll Be There for You

So, no one told you life was gonna be this way.
Your Job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A.
It's like you're always stuck in second gear.
And it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year.
But -

I'll be there for you ... when the rain starts to fall.
I'll be there for you ... like I've been there before.
I'll be there for you ... cause you're there for me, too.

You're still in bed at ten and work began at eight.
You've burned your breakfast, so far everything is great.
Your mother warned you there'd be days like these.
But she didn't tell you when the world has brought you down to your knees.
That -

I'll be there for you ... when the rain starts to fall.
I'll be there for you ... like I've been there before.
I'll be there for you ... cause you're there for me, too.

im scared

im scared

i want to move home
but thats just trying to escape to my childhood
i know this
i'll see how this summer goes,
maybe i wont come back
dont be too shocked

stupid naysayers
saying that i cant get what i want
if you want it, you can make it happen
thats what i tell my friends
lauren, michelle
i force them to follow their dreams and goals
push them
why dont i tell that to myself?

because im scared

i try to learn from other's mistakes
it saves me the trouble
maybe some lessons cant be learned,
you have to find them out on your own

but im scared

what am i running from?
life is awesome here
i have a supportive family (God know that!)
AMAZING friends (irreplacable!)

yet, somethings missing.

i dont know, we'll see what happens...

This Is Your Life

So, the following song came on my iTunes this afternoon while I was sitting around do absolutely nothing productive at all (well, I tagged some pictures on facebook that Kacee had been nagging me to tag, but that hardly counts). ANYWAYS... This song really spoke to me. I need to start making steps towards my future, because if I sit around and just wait for my life to happen it will pass me by, and I'm not okay with that. I need to finish my degree. Any degree will do really... Maybe I'll look into just how many more classes I need to be a photography major? Gotta love catch 22s though, just how I need a car to make money to get my car fixed, I also need a degree to make the money that I need to pay for the degree. I'm seriously going to look into getting another loan though, because EVERY job requires some sort of college degree (imagine that, right? lol). oh well, I took out the repeating parts that were at the end of the song, so enjoy :)

SWITCHFOOT "This Is Your Life"

yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead
yesterday is a promise that you've broken
don't close your eyes, don't close your eyes
this is your life and today is all you've got now
yeah, and today is all you'll ever have
don't close your eyes
don't close your eyes

this is your life, are you who you want to be

this is your life, are you who you want to be

this is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be

when the world was younger and you had everything to lose

yesterday is a kid in the corner

yesterday is dead and over

this is your life, are you who you want to be

this is your life, are you who you want to be

this is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be

when the world was younger and you had everything to lose

don't close your eyes

Audio Adrenaline - Will Not Fade

I will not fade
I won't let my light go out
I will not masquerade
I know who I am, and what my purpose is all about

For all these years
I've traveled on
And you have cheered,
Shine on, shine on

What I am
And who I am
Is never gonna change
The hits will come
But I will not be swayed
I've always been
What I am
The world can clearly see
I won't fade away

There is no life
That I would rather live
I will continue on
Until you take me home

I don't run
When stormy skies appear, I pray
Oh the power
I possess when skies turn black
I still burn
The light's on

What I am
And who I am
Is never gonna change
The hits will come
But I will not be swayed
I've always been
What I am
The world can clearly see
I won't fade away

What I am...
