your voice was the soundtrack of my summer

16 May 2009 @ 09:37 pm

I've never gone with the wind, just let it flow
Let it take me where it wants to go
Til you opened the door, there's so much more
I've never seen it before
I was trying to fly but I couldn't find my wings
But you came along and you changed everything

You lift my feet off the ground
You spin me around
You make me crazier, crazier
Feels like I'm falling and I am lost in your eyes
You make me crazier, crazier, crazier

I watched from a distance as you made life your own
Every sky was your own kind of blue
And I wanted to know how that would feel
And you made it so real
You showed me something that I couldn't see
You opened my eyes and you made me believe

You lift my feet off the ground
You spin me around
You make me crazier, crazier
Feels like I'm falling and I am lost in your eyes
You make me crazier, crazier, crazier

Baby you showed me what livin' is for
I don't wanna hide anymore

You lift my feet off the ground
You spin me around
You make me crazier, crazier
Feels like I'm falling and I'm lost in your eyes
You make me crazier, crazier, crazier, crazier, crazier

baby, i'm out-numbered in my head

Under the weight of your wings
You are a god and whatever I want you to be
And I wonder if truly you are
Nearly as beautiful as I believe

In my head
Your voice
You've got all that I need
And this make believe will get me through
Another lonely night

Under the weight of your wings
Should ever we meet on your side of your stereo
I will pretend I know not of your thoughts
And even the way that they mirror my own
I'll take you away in the way that you take me and go where I go

In my head
Your voice
You've got all that I need
And this make believe will get me through
Another lonely night

Fall away to the sound of my heart to your beat
Melancholy and cool, kind of bitter sweet
Love on repeat
I'm echoing all your philosophies
And as I fall away to the sound of my heart to your beat
Melancholy and cool, kind of bitter sweet
Love on repeat
I'm echoing all your philosophies
And as I...

Oh...

I don't
Wanna be fool-hearted
Baby, I'm out
Numbered in my head
I don't
I don't wanna be fool-hearted
Baby, I'm out
Numbered in my head
My head...

In my head
Your voice
You've got all that I need
And this make believe will get me through
Another night

Yeah, your voice
You've got all that I need
And this make believe will get me through
Another lonely night

Lonely night...

Under the weight of your wings
I make believe you are all that I'll ever need

All that I need...

When I was younger I used to be wild
As wild as an elephant's child
No one could hold me down
No one could keep me around
Now it's your turn, take a shot
Baby show me everything that you got
Maybe you can keep me alive
Maybe you can get in my mind
But it's only a matter of time

Before I run far away
I need to take a holiday
Maybe it's a fall from grace
I gotta find a new place
A holiday
I'll set off on a new chase
I gotta see a new face
I need to take a holiday

My father, he was always wise
As wise as an elephant's eyes
He couldn't hold me down
He couldn't keep me around
So are you gonna take your shot?
It's the only one that you got
Maybe I'll go out on a limb
Maybe I'll jump in for a swim
When the lights go dim

You know I'll run far away
I need to take a holiday
Maybe it's a fall from grace
I gotta find a new place
A holiday
I'll set off on a new chase
I gotta see a new face
I need to take a holiday

A new start
I've broken too many hearts
And I don't have any clue where to go
I don't know
But maybe I'll be back someday after my holiday

When I was younger I used to be wild
As wild as an elephant's child
And I don't think I'll ever change
I think I'm gonna stay the same

I'll run far away
I need to take a holiday
Maybe it's a fall from grace
I gotta find a new place
A holiday
I'll set off on a new chase
I gotta see a new face
I need to take a holiday

A new start
I've broken too many hearts
And I don't have any clue where to go
I don't know
But maybe I'll be back someday after my holiday

All of the wasted time
The hours that were left behind
The answers that we'll never find
They don't mean a thing tonight

so this kinda sucks a little. it's almost midnight and i'm still wide awake. i didn't work today; we had our family christmas party thing today. i slept in til about 10. usually i have to get up at like 8. plus i had a ton of sugar and stuff at the party, so i'm a little wired. i figure i'll just ramble in here for a while til i tire myself out.

i have an exam tomorrow at 11:45, old world prehistory. i haven't really studied. but i went to every class, so whatever. with the midterm, i'd missed 3 classes (and that's a lot of a monday/wednesday class), and i still managed to get an A- on it. so whatever. at this point i kinda don't care. i mean, sure, i'd like to do well. but whatevs. i have the paper due tomorrow. i have like, 3 more pages to do tomorrow (it has to be at least 12). it sucks, totally not my finest work, but you can get away with that in anthro classes. plus, i kinda don't care. i know that's like, the most horrible attitude ever, but at this point, i'm just jumping though hoops to get the degree at the end. at this point, i really don't feel like i'm paying for classes, or knowledge, or to "learn" or whatever. i'm paying for the degree at the end. i'm not against learning, of course. if i pick up/retain some fun facts along the way, all the better. but if a year from now i can't remember the archeaological significance of the grave goods at varna, i'm not gonna feel like a failure or anything.

ugh. i just have to get through tomorrow, take the test, finsih my paper, and then i'm done. woo!

From perezhilton.com:

"Director Catherine Hardwicke won't be coming back to do the Twilight sequel, New Moon, according to Variety.

It was a timing issue, says the report.

The studio wants to rush the movie out in 2009 and wasn't willing to give Hardwicke the time that she wanted to develop the sequel script.

In a statement, Hardwicke said, "I am sorry that due to timing I will not have the opportunity to direct 'New Moon'. Directing 'Twilight' has been one of the great experiences of my life, and I am grateful to the fans for their passionate support of the film. I wish everyone at Summit the best with the sequel — it is a great story."

And the studio issued this statement, "Catherine did an incredible job in helping us to launch the 'Twilight' franchise, and we thank her for all of her efforts and we very much hope to work with her on future Summit projects. We as a studio have a mandate to bring the next installment in the franchise to the big screen in a timely fashion so that fans can get more of Edward, Bella and all of the characters that Stephenie Meyer has created. We are able to pursue an aggressive time frame as we have the luxury of only adapting the novels into screenplays as opposed to having to create a storyline from scratch."

No one's getting in the way of pumping money out (as quickly as possible!) of the Twilight machine!

But, Miz Hardwick walks away with this amazing feat — she delivered the biggest opening weekend ever for a woman with Twilight. Congrats!"

Ugh. Well, there goes New Moon. Seriously. Catherine Hardwick did a kick-ass job on Twilight. I hope no Catherine plus trying to pump the next movie out as quickly as possible won't equal sucktastic movie. Especially because I've been reading that the Summit big-wigs don't think New Moon needs a bigger budget than Twilight, even though (and don't get me wrong, I LOVED Twilight) some of the special effects in Twilight were pretty sub-par, and New Moon has teens turning into WEREWOLVES right before your very eyes. Summit better not ruin New Moon just because they're money hungry.

whatevs.

so i didn't get the internship at the buff news. didn't even get an interview. yeah. not feeling too great about that one. whatever. probably for the best. had they recognized my obvious awesome, i might have completed an internship and then been offered a job after graduation and the last thing i want is to spend any more time than necessary in the frozen tundra that is this area. so whatever. fuck 'em.

so it's back to the drawing board. once i finish my papers, it's full-force internship searching for me. i was gonna apply for this program in DC for next fall but now i'm just gonna apply for the summer. meh. whatever. i actually have all the info for the forms and stuff good to go; my resume is up-to-date, i wrote those bullshit essays about my career plans and experience, i just have to wait for the summer 2009 application to become available. idk if they'd even accept me, but whatever. i figure if i keep applying for things, someone's bound to say yes eventually.
