anne and another song

I am feeling very lucky today <3 I have been awarded 2 awards from my amazing bestie Seli of What I Heart! ^o^ Thankyou so very much Seli!

I am reading the lovely book Anne of Green Gables by L.M Montgomery recently. Although a little slow moving compared to more recent novels (this one is more than 100 years old!), I am completely drawn in by by Anne's funny ways, and beautiful imagination. Also, the imagery discribed in this novel is simply heart warming.

One of my favourite Anne quotes is on page 245:

"Marilla, isn't it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?"

Yet again I have been inspired by a Paramore song (surprise surprise!). It's a little bit heavier than their normal stuff but the song just makes me shiver. It doesn't really relate to me and my life but I think it's amazing!

All I wanted by Paramore

Think of me when you're out, when you're out there

I'll beg you nice from my knees

And when the world treats you way too fairly

It's a shame I'm a dream

All I wanted was you

All I wanted was you

I think I'll pace my apartment a few times

And fall asleep on the couch

And wake up early to black and white reruns

That escape from my mouth

Oh-oh

All I wanted was you

All I wanted was you

All I wanted was you

All I wanted was you

I could follow you to the beginning

Just to relive the start

And maybe then we'll remember to slow down

At all of our favourite parts

All I wanted was you

All I wanted was you

All I wanted was you

All I wanted was you

All I wanted was you

Hayley Williams is an amazing singer and song writer! My inspiration:)

My real life...I have finished my Christmas shopping on a trip to the big city - so many malls, so many many people! I don't think I would like to actually live there very much - too busy for my liking hehe.

Exams are finished, it's officially the holidays, and I feel completely free:)

I hope every one is having a lovely day and looking forward to Christmas!

Turn it off

I scraped my knees when I was praying
And found a demon in my safest haven, seems like
It's getting harder to believe in anything
Than just to get lost in all my selfish thoughts
I wanna know what it'd be like
To find perfection in my pride
To see nothing in the light
Or turn it off in all my spite
In all my spite i'll turn it off

Chorus
And the worst part is
Before it gets any better
We're headed for a cliff
And in the free fall I will realize
I'm better off when I hit the bottom

The tragedy, it seems unending
I'm watching everyone I looked up to break and bending
We're taking shortcuts and false solutions
Just to come out the hero
Well I can see behind the curtain
The wheels are cranking, turning,
It's all wrong the way we're working
Towards a goal, that's nonexistent
It's nonexistent, but we just keep believing

Chorus
And the worst part is
Before it gets any better
We're headed for a cliff
And in the free fall I will realize
I'm better off when I hit the bottom

I wanna know what it'd be like
To find perfection in my pride
To see nothing in the light
and turn it off in all my spite
in all my spite i'll turn it off
Just turn it off again

Chorus
And the worst part is
Before it gets any better
We're headed for a cliff
And in the free fall I will realize
I'm better off when I hit the bottom

The lyrics to this song hold an amazing deeper meaning for me. It just reminds me of what I see when I look around these days. The pictures, well aren't they just beautiful. As usual, from weheartit.com and the Paramore pic from paramore.net

i'm singing in the rain

yes, it is spring, but the sun is being such a tease - out one day, hiding the rest.

oh how i wish i could say hang up your umbrellas! the sun is shining!

in other musings...Paramore's song Let the Flames Begin from their album Riot! has been on repeat on my ipod for days and days...

What a shame we all became such fragile, broken things.

A memory remains just a tiny spark.

I give it all my oxygen,to let the flames begin.

to let the flames begin.

Oh, glory.

Oh, glory.

This is how we'll dance when,

When they try to take us down.

This is what will be.

Oh, glory.

Somewhere weakness is our strength,

And I'll die searching for it.

I can't let myself regret such selfishness.

My pain and all the trouble caused,

No matter how long

I believe that there's hope

Buried beneath it all and

Hiding beneath it all, and

Growing beneath it all, and...

This is how we'll dance when,

When they try to take us down

This is how we'll sing it.

This is how we'll stand when

When they burn our houses down.

This is what will be.

Oh, glory.

Reaching as I sink down into light.

Reaching as I sink down into light.

This is how we'll dance when,

When they try to take us down

This is how we'll sing it.

This is how we'll stand when,

When they burn our houses down.

This is what will be.Oh, glory.
