This Florida debate tells me several things
the Republican nomination is almost entirely between Newt and Mitt. they bicker like school-children sometimes, but they both have some potentially incredibly successful ideas.
Ron Paul is unelectable, but he’s freakin hilarious, so i want him to stick around
Santorum’s best line that i’ve ever heard him utter, paraphrased: Newt used his experience in Congress to develop an...

Rhett didn't want a funeral for Bonnie.
He didn’t want to bury her because she was afraid of the dark.
And the true-blue Mountie in me cried at this point in the film.

Something New
V1) her tears/ fall/ like perfect drops of glass/ and they shatter as they hit the floor/ her cheeks/ are/ stained with black mascara/ because she doesn’t feel pretty anymore/ he said he couldn’t handle it/ that she was just too much/ and that he bit off more than he could chew/ he wanted an adventure/ he needed a break/ and he was gonna find something new/
Chorus) this world is way...
dating.
It seems that most people my age don’t date. They either hook up or are in relationships. I see very little middle ground.
I don’t like it. I believe in casual dating. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with hanging out with and going on dates with and talking to a few guys or girls at a time. If you’re not in a relationship, you’re not committed or...

Here's to Taking Chances
V1) I have no reason to trust you/ I should fully expect you to break my heart/ if I wanted to protect it/ I would harden myself from the very start/ but, they tell me that it’s worth it/ that the risk of heart break is worth the reward/ so, I guess I’ll take my chances/ because maybe finding love is what life’s for/
Chorus) so, here’s to shameless flirting/ hoping that...
thank you so much for making me feel good.

Hello, December
V1) it’s so cold/ that I can see my breath/ and my tears are frozen to my cheeks/ it’s so hard/ to fake my signature smile/ when I feel like an ugly, desperate freak/ you left this town/ without a single explanation/ but, you took the time to spell it out for me:/ you were sick and tired/ and bored and disappointed/ because I wasn’t what you thought I should be/
Chorus) well,...

purchasing music.
It’s a foreign concept to a lot of people, as I understand it. I understand how easy it is to download music without paying for it. I’ve actually been told by friends, “Wait, you actually buy your music? But, why?”
I’ll tell you why I love purchasing music:
Sitting down with a brand new CD, plugging in my headphones, reading along with the lyrics.
The artwork.

pride.
Excuse me for being proud for a minute, but I’m so excited about this:
Last Fall, I took my Freshman writing course (WRT 105) titled, “The Individual and American Culture” with the one and only Michael Fisher. I wrote my final research paper on the Tea Party Movement, making the assertion that it was a politically legitimate movement based on a set of criteria that I...

Anonymous asked: i would love to know, if you're asking someone how they are why 'im tired' is not okay. you are asking how they are. Tired is how they are. If you only want to hear an 'i'm fine, thanks' you really dont care how they are. a simple hi would suffice on your part.

Hopeless Romantic
V1) i just wanna walk for miles/ talking about nothing with you/ introduce ourselves to strangers/ making fun of all the stupid things we do/ but, you prefer candlelit dinners/ and sending me anonymous bouquets/ yeah, it might be cute, but it’s not/ an expression of genuine feelings/
Chorus) as sweet/ as the love letters may be/ and as nice/ as the butterflies may seem/ when the roses and...

Thrilled
V1) over the years, I’ve learned not to expect too much/ because, when I do, I’m always heartbroken/ if my imagination didn’t run so wild/ maybe I’d be happier in the end/ try as I might, I simply can’t control myself/ and, not surprisingly, with you it’s the same/ as soon as I introduced myself, man, I was hooked!/ and all these crazy thoughts ran through my...
