Please let's be happy on Thursday and the moon will light our way on the ghost highway...

New songs of the hour :-) 

"Thursday" Asobi Seksu - I looove.  Asobi Seksu is said to mean "playful sex" in Japanese.  At least that's what Wikipedia says...

"Please Please Please" Shout Out Louds - I'm pretty sure this is on at least two or three commercials or show promos or something. I don't know, it's just fun.

"Happy" Jenny Lewis with the Watson Twins - This song makes me smile in a truly, cruelly, ironic sort of way. Why? The lyrics:

I'd rather be lonely, I'd rather be free

I'm as sure as the moon rolls around the sea

But I like watching you undress

And I think we're at our best

By the flicker by the light of the TV set

Cause I can't remember why I hated you

Can't remember why I still do

But I'm as sure as the moon rolls around you

That I could be happy, happy

Oh, so happy, happy

Oh, so happy, so happy

They warn you about killers and thieves in night

I worry about cancer and living right

But my mama never warned me about my own

Destructive appetite

Or the pitfalls of control

How it locks you in your grave

Looking for someone to be saved under my restraint

So I could be happy, happy

Oh so happy, happy

Oh so happy, happy

So happy, so happy

"The Moon" Cat Power - If I was in a romance film, this song would play during a slow dance with the full moon above (duh).  The song is beautiful and she has the most beautiful voice. 

"Ghost Highway" Mazzy Star - Check out circa 1991.  Someone pass the heroin please. 

While I was gone...

...I discovered delightful ways to waste time on the internet, most notably: Polyvore.

On Polyvore, you can make things like this:

I blogged it, Blair Waldorf said it...

Every superficial bone in my body was as light as a feather last night when in the new Gossip Girl episode Blair glowers over a potential project and asks, "Are those last season's Tory Burch?" Hahahaha! Please refer to this to get why I was so gleeful.

Yes it's a fictional show, yes it's a silly show, and yes it's my guilty pleasure.

:-)

So this morning I stumbled out the front door with my ice water in hand (I'm attempting to lay off the caffine) and went down the front steps to where my jeep was parked. A good morning suprise waited for me: my driver's door was ajar and someone had obviously rummaged, ruffled, or, as the police report would later say, "pilfered" through my car. And apparently it wasn't the only car. The policewoman said that there had been around 10 cars in our neighborhood who got burgled, or pilfered, in my case.

Nothing was stolen (I mean...I'm a slightly poor inbetween college student driving a 12 year old car...what valuable am I going to have in there?).

Creepy. So much for Mayberry in Anderson.

Back again back again back againnn

Hiiii.  Me again.  Trying (yet again) to be re-inspired to continue my blog. Ugh. 

Updates in brief:

1. Made it through the 1 yr anniversary of Mama's death without consuming large amounts of alcohol or snorting any available pill.  Yay for me!  My preferred method of avoidance was sleeping for most of Sept 17th. 

2.  This actually relates closely to #1.  On Sept 18th I randomly got online to check the status of my app for College of Charleston.  According to the lady I spoke with a while back they wouldn't even start looking at apps until late Sept/early Oct.  However, I decided to just check and WAH-LAH! I'VE BEEN ACCEPTED!!! ...My official date of acceptance was Sept 17th...imagine that.  I don't really believe in a lot of things, including coincidences when it comes to things like that.  I was at work when this happened so I had to control my emotions but I found myself penning "Thank You" into the palm of my hand over and over again... I don't know if it was a thank you to God or Mama, or who, but I felt like it was heard/seen. 

So there we have it, I'll be continuing my education (FINALLY) in January at the College of Charleston.  Whew. I'm feeling a mixture of relief and excitement and also knowing that this timing is absolutely perfect. 

3. I have finally decided about my next tattoo.  Don't feel like going into details (because of the whole "brief update" promise I made earlier) but it involves a daffodil and the last two lines of William Wordworth's poem I wandered lonely as a cloud.

Okay, that's all I can think of right now, but I've got a whole eight hour work day tomorrow to think about anything else. (yay. not.)
