Full of music, feeling, love, beauty, and fashion. A life that is mine.

Bitte, Spring Nicht.

I bet you don't know every word to a German rock ballad. :)

Yeah, I used to be TOTALLY into Tokio Hotel before their American album came out, which i'm not gonna lie, I have it on my iPod too, but after my third year of German, I go back and listen to this and feel so much more comfortable with singing the words. So much better in the original language.

I still think Bill Kaulitz is a beautiful human being though. No matter how girlish he looks. Great voice, and he's different from everyone else. I respect that.

"Erriner dich, an dich und mich"

Oh and this one's pretty good too.

Man,


"I feel like a woman."


"Man, I feel like a Woman!" by Shania Twain.

It reminds me of a time at flag camp. Syrena, Meagen, and I performed our winning ensemble routine to it, and it's just a happy memory.

I don't feel like providing a link. Find it yourself. x) And if you search "flag routine" after it, you should be able to find ours on youtube. :)


Another--one that is just a bit more sentimental-- is "Just the Way You Are" by Bruno Mars. It reminds me of the time Jake tried to sing it to me after we went to the Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert. Keyword: Tried. I love you babe, but you can't sing. x) But you see, that's why that song is so great: "You're amazing, just the way you are" Pretty much. Yeah.


I wish I had better songs to provide for some of these challenges, but usually, really good music doesn't remind me of the kind of things that this challenge has been asking. I promise I listen to good music, I really do. :/


Hell, "Baby" by Justin Bieber reminds me of my first boyfriend, which makes sense..it's what the song is about.

Somewhere.

Arkansas Governor's School.
A-G-freakin-S.


"Blankets in the Grass" by Balance Problems. Enjoy :)

This song was extremely inspirational to me at AGS. It got me dancing again, which in general doesn't take much, but I'm talking choreographing very broken ballet. It makes me happy. It makes me miss that place so much, but to me it just captures it. Maybe not the lyrics, but the overall mood of the song. So peaceful, and to put it even more simply, "Hakuna Matata". <--Also reminds me of AGS.

Onward!

Tonight, Jess and I ventured to Conway to see Wynton Marsalis and Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra.

AH-MA-ZING.

I cannot even describe how great that was. I smiled for so long after the first half it was just crazy. Mind is blown. CanNOT wait until he comes back to town. That concert made me doubt my ambitions to become a band director, it made me want to just do nothing but become a master of Jazz and play the rest of my life. It takes alot to make me doubt teaching. They just had so much FUN. I wish I could be that phenomenally talented and have as much fun as they did. Granted, I do have alot of fun when I play, but I just don't play that well.

..Yet.

Give Me Therapy.

"I'm a walking travesty"
Day5:A song that reminds me of someone.
Who I used to be.
So it's been a good while since I've felt empty. For 3 minutes just now, I did. This song is amazing. "Therapy" by All Time Low. It reminds me of who I used to be. You know how I blog about my suspicions about me being legitimately insane? This is what I wish I could have written in regards to that. But the melody just makes my heart melt. Alex Gaskarth--you've stolen my heart again. x) Just kidding, but you're amazing. It's been way too long since I've paid good attention to this band.



^what? I can embed now :D^

Tomorrow is the Wynton Marsalis concert at UCA. Guess who's dying of anticipation? This girl.

I'm also really excited for summer :) I leave for Europe July 1st.

I'll post something later this week that will probably be actually interesting. When I have time. Also starting play rehearsals this week for the musical :)

4.

A song that makes me sad.

Right here.

I don't know why blogger won't let me embed stuff anymore. It's kind of ticking me off ALOT.

I really miss AGS. It was so...free.
Once again, sorry for lack of a better post, but my weekend is just full of work and hanging out with Tessa tonight :)

Monday I'm going to see WYNTON FREAKING MARSALIS and his Jazz Orchestra at UCA.
I'm sure I will have a ton to say about that :)

Challengeee.

I'm already behind. Goodness x)
Day2: My least Favorite song.
Anything by Nicki Minaj. I despise her. She isn't a rapper, she's just ANNOYING. She's not even mildly attractive either.

Day3: A song that makes me happy.
"Weightless" By All Time Low. Totally my theme song lately.

Sorry for the lack of AWESOMEPOST, but I'm really tired and had a sort of rough night.
Please give "Weightless" a listen, very much worth it.

"You're lookin' skinny, like a model"

"With your eyes all painted black"



Finally, I can write an outfit blog :) /happy.
Despite the fact that I feel absolutely horrid (physically) right now, be prepared for a very long post.


Last night, I spent about 45 minutes figuring out this outfit, and I am very proud of it.



Shirt: Handmedown from mom. Skirt: $5 at Rainbow in OK. Ring: Jake thomas. Locket: Gift from Andrea from Grandma's Collectibles in Cabot. Hair clip: Gift from Mom at Christmas. (Not Shown: Mudd flipflops). Toned Legs: Swimming & Marching band. Get some.



Shades: $10-Romancing the Stone. Smile: Fabricated for the tripod x)



This is the kind of outfit I feel like myself in. Jeans & T-shirts just don't do it for me.



Thank you to Tessa and Kimble for helping me figure that one out :P



Next: SNOW.



I threw this one together in about 10 minutes to take pictures in the snow. Let it be known that I. Love. Purple.
