Best News Ever!!!

So I get this e-mail today from the MCR website and they added some U.S. tour dates after their tour in Asia. And one of them is SALT LAKE CITY!!!! Woot! Woot! I am so excited! Come April 11th, where will I be? Jammin' live to my favorite band!

My Anarchist Valentine

Valentine’s Day is here again
And like all the ones before
There is no one to greet me
With a dozen roses at my door

I have friends who say they love me
And those who say they care
But the one I truly, deeply need
Isn’t waiting there

The one thing I need most right now
To forget the pain I feel inside
Is to be held in his arms tonight
And have him by my side

I ache for him, I pray for him
I hold him in my heart
The problem’s not that he won’t stop
It’s that he won’t even start

There is no sweet release for me
So I beg of those above
To answer me this question brief
“When is it my turn to be loved?”

I fell for you and you left me
Cold and all alone
What will it take to crumble
Your heart that’s made of stone?

I would have given you everything
My life, my heart, my soul
To have this just one thing from you:
To be called your own

I have to leave you behind now
But maybe one day you’ll see
I will always be the one for you
Even if you won’t be for me

And so goodbye my valentine
You’ve let me slip away
Once again we find ourselves
Alone on a Valentine’s Day.

I belong in Seattle!!

Tomorrow night one of my favorite singers is going to be rockin out in Seattle, and I won't be there to see him! James Blunt is going to be performing at the Moore Theater and oh how I wish I could go! He has no tour date for Utah; the closest venue is in Las Vegas this Friday. It's official: I need to live in Seattle. They have the best concerts and the gloomiest weather. It's totally my scene. Even though I probably won't ever see James live, I can still watch his videos!

One More Reason Why I Love Gerard!

This a quote from Gerard Way that I absolutely love! He is such a sweetheart. Someone on YouTube put it to one of my favorite My Chem songs. I love it!

President Hinckley

President Hinckley is the best example I have ever known. He was the kindest, funniest, most humble man, a true servant of the Lord. He was a great man and a great prophet. He will be greatly missed, but he is now reunited with his dear wife and all his forebears. We Thank Thee O God for a Prophet!

OneRepublic!!!

My friend Megan and I went to the OneRepublic concert yesterday and it was so much fun! The opening bands were really great and we got to meet all three of them and we even met/hugged/got our photo with one of the guitarists of OneRepublic! Once I figure out how to get the photos off of my phone I will be sure to post them. The guys from the band The Daylights were so cute and so nice. I got the cutest picture of Meg with them. You can check them out at http://myspace.com/thedaylights.


The one on the right is Svend. He's from Denmark. He spoke Danish to us! Not pictured is their buddy Russ, who was such a sweetheart!


The one second from the right is the one we got our picture with. His name is Drew Brown.

The concert was fun even with the horrible Utah fans who have to prove that they are the most obnoxious people in the world. We were like twenty feet from the stage and could barely move through most of the concert because people kept shoving. Meg even lost her shoes. Twice. But she found them. It's kind of funny because when I went to the MCR concert in Seattle, everyone was totally chill and cool and behaved themselves even though it was a concert where you could totally go out of control. However, this concert, which had much tamer music, was completely insane. I've never felt so close to so many people. :) I was pushed, prodded, groped and violated . However, I also inadvertently did a lot of those things to other people as well. Sorry guys! We're all in this together, although it did add to my list of Utahns Are Horrible ...



So along with the amazing concert are the iPod picks for this week which will contain a majority of OneRepublic:
"Come Home" by OneRepublic - They introduced this song as a tribute they had written to one of their friends who is a marine in Iraq. I actually had this as a ringtone for one of my friends and I always get excited when it goes off.
"Apologize" by OneRepublic - This is their first single. Check out the video on YouTube. The lead singer is friggin hot in it (p.s. make sure it is the official video w/ Timbaland and not that fake video with the creepy girl.)
"Stop and Stare" by OneRepublic - I just love this song.
"All We Are" by OneRepublic - Just a great song.

And the MCR pick of the week/month depending on how often I post is:
"My Way Home is through You" I absolutely LOVE this song. It played on my iPod on the drive home from work today and I just had to crank that volume up. Love the song. Love the band. Am naming my first son Gerard. Sorry, I have a slightly unhealthy obsession with that glorious band and its gorgeous lead singer. ;)

Look at me go!

Wow! A new year and a new post!

So much has happened during the month since my last post. I thought that when school got out I would have more time to do stuff, but working 50 hours a week put a sufficient stop to that. And school starts again in two days. Where does the time go?

I have some exciting news with which I am going to toot my own horn: Even with working two jobs, I managed to scrape out a 4.0 this semester!! This hasn't happened with me working just one job. Apparently insane amounts of stress are a key ingredient to academic success.

Christmas was enjoyable. Santa brought me an awesome toy:

It is an Old Fashioned Movie Time Popcorn Machine! I popped some delicious kernels and watched Harry Potter on Christmas Day.

Here are some pics of my cute puppy with one of the new squeaky toys I gave her for Christmas (and yes, the pictures are staged).

Whew! That takes care of end of semester and Christmas. For New Year's, Anne and I went and saw I am Legend. It was a good flick, but it was a little creepy and probably not the best film for someone as jumpy as I am (or someone who is still scared of the dark, as I also am). But I thought it was a good plot nonetheless. Now I just need a cute boy to go see P.S. I Love You with and then I might get my nerves back.

Oh! I almost forgot the Allyse's Christmas Party! Shaundawg won a Smashbox Makeup kit, which is now mine and I won $200! Here is a pic of Meg (my date), Tyson, and Me.

It was a lot of fun (even if I did spill salad dressing all over my new shirt!). But my hair looks great, even though you can't see my emo streak in this pic.

So I am kind of weird cuz I like songs that make me cry. I just got the album Dreaming Out Loud by OneRepublic on iTunes this week, and there is this song that I really like called "Come Home." It's pretty much amazing, even though it is a tearjerker. *sniff*sniff* J/K. Check it out. It's the iPod pick for the week from the person who has the absolute best musical taste ever. ;)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! MAY 2008 BE THE YEAR OF DREAMS!! (wow that was corny)
