New Music Tuesday! LOL (Dirty Little Secret - The All-American Rejects)

These guys rock!!







The All-American Rejects - Dirty Little Secret


Provided by VideoCodes4U.com


Let me know that I've done wrong
When I've known this all along

I go around a time or two
Just to waste my time with you

Tell me all that you've thrown away
Find out games you don't wanna play
You are the only one that needs to know

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret

Who has to know
When we live such fragile lives
It's the best way we survive
I go around a time or two
Just to waste my time with you


Tell me all that you've thrown away
Find out games you don't wanna play
You are the only one that needs to know

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret

Who has to know
The way she feels inside (inside)
Those thoughts I can't deny (deny)
These sleeping dogs won't lie (won't lie)
And all I've tried to hide
It’s eating me apart
Trace this line back


I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret)

I'll keep you my dirty little secret
(Dirty little secret)
Don't tell anyone or you'll be just another regret
(Just another regret, hope that you can keep it)
My dirty little secret
Dirty little secret
Dirty little secret

More New Music... (Blurry - Puddle of Mudd)

For guess who...








Puddle Of Mudd - Blurry


Provided by VideoCodes4U.com


Everything's so blurry
and everyone's so fake
and everybody's empty
and everything is so messed up
pre-occupied without you
I cannot live at all
My whole world surrounds you

I stumble then I crawl

You could be my someone
you could be my scene
you know that i'll protect you
from all of the obscene
I wonder what you're doing
imagine where you are
there's oceans in between us
but that's not very far

Can you take it all away
can you take it all away
well ya shoved it in my face
this pain you gave to me
Can you take it all away
can you take it all away
well ya shoved it my face

Everyone is changing
there's noone left that's real
to make up your own ending
and let me know just how you feel
cause I am lost without you
I cannot live at all

my whole world surrounds you
I stumble then I crawl

You could be my someone
you could be my scene
you know that i will save you
from all of the unclean
I wonder what you're doing
I wonder where you are
There's oceans in between us
but that's not very far


[Chorus]

Nobody told me what you thought
nobody told me what to say
everyone showed you where to turn
told you when to runaway
nobody told you where to hide
nobody told you what to say
everyone showed you where to turn
showed you when to runaway

[Chorus]

This pain you gave to me

You take it all
You take it all away...
This pain you gave to me

You take it all away
This pain you gave to me
Take it all away
This pain you gave to me

Do You Believe in Signs?

On my way to work tonight, I saw a shooting star. Big deal, right? Actually, for me it was a HUGE deal! First off, it's a pretty starless night tonight - there are maybe only a dozen stars you can see to begin with. Second, well that takes some explaining.

I hadn't seen shooting stars since I was a little kid. Then November 21st (the day my world almost fell apart), while my best friend Tyson and I were driving, we saw 2 of them one right after the other. He told me that those stars were us and that anytime I ever saw a shooting star to remember that it is him, thinking of me.

I haven't been able to talk to Tyson since the 26th before he was hospitalized (and my world DID fall apart) because he was put into a treatment center somewhere. I don't know where he is or how he is, and it's been incredibly distressing to me. I've been incredibly depressed (to the point that the anti-depresants I was already on are not helping), I haven't been able to keep any food down, the list goes on and on. So when I saw the shooting star tonight, it made me feel a little better. It reminded me that he is still with me and still loves me, just as I am still with him and love him. One of my co-workers told me that he was sure that it was Tyson telling me that he loves me and that he is okay, and he gave me an even happier thought - he believes that Tyson saw it too. I hope so...

Another Song for Tyson... (Collide - Howie Day)







Howie Day - Collide


Provided by VideoCodes4U.com


The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you
Yeah

I'm open, you're closed
Where I follow, you'll go
I worry I won't see your face
Light up again

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find
You and I collide


I'm quiet you know
You make a first impression
I've found I'm scared to know I'm always on your mind

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
I somehow find
You and I collide

Don't stop here
I lost my place
I'm close behind


Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
You finally find
You and I collide

You finally find
You and I collide
You finally find
You and I collide

My Best Friend

"Millions and millions of years would still not give me half enough time to describe that tiny instant of all eternity when you put your arms around me and I put my arms around you." ~Jacques Prévert


How true this quote is. In the last couple of weeks so many people have asked me to tell them why Tyson means so much to me. I can never do it - I don't know what to say. All I can do is say that Tyson is my best friend, and that he has my heart. I just can't put into words what our friendship means to me. Almost losing him nearly killed me. I would go to the ends of the earth for Tyson. Cripes, I put over 1,000 miles on my car in just over a week with driving I did in direct relation to him! I would do it again in an instant, though. He's worth it. On one hand, I wish that the events of the last couple of weeks never happened because so many people were hurt by them. But on the other hand, I feel this perverse feeling that I wouldn't change a thing because it brought Tyson and I even closer together. I hope that we will be together again soon. I wish that I could talk to him now - there is so much that I want and need to say to him. He asked that I be told that he was safe, but I can't relax and believe that until I hear his voice for myself. I know he knows that I love him, but I need to tell him that I love him. Until then...

I love you, Tyson.

Bored and Missing My Best Friend...

Your 2005 Song Is

Feel Good Inc by Gorillaz

"Love forever love is free.
Let's turn forever you and me."

In 2005, you were loving life and feeling no pain.



You Have a Melancholic Temperament

Introspective and reflective, you think about everything and anything.
You are a soft-hearted daydreamer. You long for your ideal life.
You love silence and solitude. Everyday life is usually too chaotic for you.

Given enough time alone, it's easy for you to find inner peace.
You tend to be spiritual, having found your own meaning of life.
Wise and patient, you can help people through difficult times.

At your worst, you brood and sulk. Your negative thoughts can trap you.
You are reserved and withdrawn. This makes it hard to connect to others.
You tend to over think small things, making decisions difficult.



Your Inner Child Is Surprised

You see many things through the eyes of a child.
Meaning, you're rarely cynical or jaded.
You cherish all of the details in life.
Easily fascinated, you enjoy experiencing new things.

All Cami's Fault!! LMAO

I promised myself I'd lay off the blogthings, but Cami done tempted me!

You are White Chocolate

You have a strong feminine side with a good bit of innocence thrown in.
Whether your girlish ways are an act or not, men like to take care of you.
You are an understated beauty, and your power is often underestimated!



You Belong in Paris

Stylish and a little sassy, you were meant for Paris.
The art, the fashion, the wine, the men!
Whether you're enjoying the cafe life or a beautiful park...
You'll love living in the most chic place on earth.


Your Blog Should Be Purple

You're an expressive, offbeat blogger who tends to write about anything and everything.
You tend to set blogging trends, and you're the most likely to write your own meme or survey.
You are a bit distant though. Your blog is all about you - not what anyone else has to say.


You Are A Lily

You are a nurturer and all around natural therapist.
People see you as their rock. And they are able to depend on you.
You are a soothing influence. You can make people feel better with a few words.
Your caring has more of an impact than even you realize.

Your 80s Heartthrob Is

John Stamos

Uh-Oh LOL

You Are a Bad Girl

You are 20% Good and 80% Bad
You're a total bad girl, from your wild hair to tattooed toes.
But you're too badass to even care if you're labeled "bad"!


I took this same quiz exactly one month ago and I was 40% good! LOL I'm on a downward spiral!

In Desparate Need of a Distraction...

Your Heart Is Orange

Love equals unbridled happiness for you. You enjoy the wild ride of falling in love.
And while the ride is fun for a while, you always get off once the thrill is gone.

Your flirting style: Hyper

Your lucky first date: Anything you need your passport for!

Your dream lover: Is both daring and well grounded

What you bring to relationships: Energy


Your Seduction Style: Fantasy Lover

You know that ideal love that each of us dreams of from childhood? That's you!
Not because you posess all of the ideal characteristics, but because you are a savvy shape shifter.
You have the uncanny ability to detect someone's particular fantasy... and make it you.

You inspire each person to be an idealist and passionate, and you make each moment memorable
Even a simple coffee date with you can be the most romantic moment of someone's life
By giving your date exactly what he or she desires, you quickly become the ideal lover.

Your abilities to make dreams come true is so strong, that you are often the love of many people's lives.
Your ex's (and even people you have simply met or been friends with) long to be yours.
No doubt you are the one others have dreamed of... your biggest challenge is finding *your* dream lover.



Your Inner Retro Girl Is

1960s Mod Girl



Guys Like That You're Charming

You're the girl most guys can't get out of their heads
Even if they met you on a bad hair day :-)
You just seem to "click" with everyone you meet
So even if a guy forgets about you for a second... his friends haven't!

I Love You, Tyson... (You and Me - Lifehouse)







Lifehouse - You And Me


Provided by VideoCodes4U.com


What day is it? And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time


Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

All of the things that I want to say just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping on words
You've got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here

Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

There's something about you now
I can't quite figure out
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right


Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you

What day is it?
And in what month?

Still Quizzing!

Your Seduction Style: Au Natural

You rank up there with your seduction skills, though you might not know it.
That's because you're a natural at seduction. You don't realize your power!
The root of your natural seduction power: your innocence and optimism.

You're the type of person who happily plays around and creates a unique little world.
Little do you know that your personal paradise is so appealing that it sucks people in.
You find joy in everything - so is it any surprise that people find joy in you?

You bring back the inner child in everyone you meet with your sincere and spontaneous ways.
Your childlike (but not childish) behavior also inspires others to care for you.
As a result, those who you befriend and date tend to be incredibly loyal to you.



The Movie Of Your Life Is A Cult Classic

Quirky, offbeat, and even a little campy - your life appeals to a select few.
But if someone's obsessed with you, look out! Your fans are downright freaky.

Your best movie matches: Office Space, Showgirls, The Big Lebowski



The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.

In love, you feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and you're told that you're loved.

You'd like to your lover to think you are optimistic and happy.

You would be forced to break up with someone who was insecure and in constant need of reassurance.

Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets.

Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment.

You think of marriage as something precious. You'll treasure marriage and treat it as sacred.

In this moment, you think of love as something you can get or discard anytime. You're feeling self centered.

Waiting is the Hardest Part

The waiting for these new meds to start working is killing me. I knew that until I got adjusted to them that they would make things a bit worse before they got better, but I am SOOO ready for the better to start! I know that I can do this. I CAN be strong enough to make it through this, but at this point I keep asking myself, "Do I even want to?" And the answer depends on what the medication is doing at that particular moment. I keep reading over the card that my therapist gave me that outlines all the reasons I have to get through this, but.... It's hard. It's REALLY hard. It's harder when some of the people that are supposed to be supporting you through it don't really understand what's going on. So rather than making it all about you, they are making it about themselves. I can't blame them totally - I don't totally understand it myself. I just wish that more of the people in my "support circle" were able to look past their own misunderstanding of the problem and just see me. I need someone to see ME.

My New Favorite Movie!


Saved! is quite possibly the coolest movie ever! It came out last year, but it wasn't in theaters here, so I didn't actually see it. I had heard about it back when it was still in post-productions, though, and I just knew it was probably going to be good - if for no other reason than it poked fun at all the uber-religious weirdos! When I was in Billings earlier this month, I happened to pick it up at Target for $7.50 to watch in my hotel room. I didn't get a chance to watch it then, but I finally got a chance to watch it at work last week. It was hysterical! I absolutely loved it. So much so, in fact, that I just watched it again here at work before I was moved to tell you all about it! The movie was awesomely cast - everyone was perfect in their roles! Originally, Anne Hathaway (The Princess Diaries) was supposed to play the role done by Mandy Moore, but I think it would not have been as good cast that way. Mandy was the perfect person to play the "holier-than-thou" Hilary Faye. Jena Malone, Macaulay Culkin, Eva Amurri, Patrick Fugit, and Chad Faust were all excellent in their roles as well. Everyone should see this movie! Especially if you are like me and you have a Hilary Faye (or a dozen) in your life. You totally won't regret it! Now, I think I might just go watch it again...

People Drive Me Nuts


There are days when I really wonder why I even try to maintain some friendships. Ever have days like that? "Friends" who apparently can't be bothered to be friendly to you are bugging the crap out of me lately. You send them an "How goes it?" IM and they don't answer - then after awhile they just go offline. You send them an email and you get a 3 word response 47 days later- if they respond at all. Christ. It's enough to make me want to throw the computer out the damn window. I don't have a ton of friends in my area, so I depend on the friends I've made online to be there when I could use a conversation or even just a "Have a nice day". I understand that people have their own lives and can be busy - believe me, I am plenty busy myself - but would it really kill that "busy" friend to simply reply "I'm busy now, but can we chat later?" or a "Can't talk now, but hope your day is going well!"?? Surely one can take 3 seconds to type out that simple response. I don't know. Maybe I expect too much from people. Don't get me wrong, this isn't representative of all my online buddies! There are a number of them that stay up way too late chatting with me (and you know who you are!), but then there are some that just make me wanna scream, "WTF have I ever done to offend you???". Sigh. I guess even if I did scream that, I STILL wouldn't know - seeings how it would require an actual response and all.

Listed below are some warning signs to indicate if your child may have gone astray from the Lord. Gothic (or goth) is a very obscure and often dangerous culture that young teenagers are prone to participating in. The gothic culture leads young, susceptible minds into an imagined world of evil, darkness, and violence. Please seek immediate attention through counselling, prayer, and parental guidance to rid your child of Satan's temptations if five or more of the following are applicable to your child.

-Frequently wears black clothing.

-Wears band and/or rock t-shirts.

-Wears excessive black eye makeup,lipstick or nail polish.

A friend sent this to me regarding the "terrifying" idea that your child may be a "goth". This thing is such a joke! According to their "warning" signs, my two-year-old son could be a goth - heck my MOTHER could be a goth! When will people find something better to do than persecute others???? I have to say my favorite one is the part about eating "goth foods" like "Count Dracula" cereal. LMAO Um, you mean Count CHOCula cereal? Absurd, utterly absurd.

My FANTASTIC Weekend!

**Some of you may have read most of this over at ScrapHappy101, but I did add some new details in here for you!**

Matt sent me on a "Mommy Time" mini overnight vacation in Billings so I could get my new tattoo done and have some "me time".

I got to Billings Saturday around noon and checked into my hotel, then I headed over to Tattoo Art. I got this rockin' tribal design with purple violets around my ankle - and it is black light reactive! When black light hits my tattoo, the flowers glow! I also got my eyebrow pierced, which is something I have wanted to do since I was in high school. Then to cap off the visit, Adam (my artist) took some measurements and such of my ear. I have 2 cartilage piercings that I had done at the mall back in high school that I've never liked because they aren't even and go through at odd angles. So Adam was going to make me a custom spiral to put through the holes to make the odd stuff look like it was done on purpose.

After all that (3 and a half hours!), I went and did some shopping and got some dinner. Just as I got back to the hotel, my friend Mary that used to work with me in Bozeman (but now lives in Billings) called to invite me over to see her new house and her husband and kids. So I went over and she & I went out for drinks after the kids went to bed.

We had a blast! She's been moved away almost 3 years, so we had a lot of catching up to do! We went to a couple of different bars, played some pool, and talked. I really miss having girlfriends close by! Time just flew by, too - I finally melted back into bed, exhausted, around 3am! LOL Apparently, I'm getting too old for all this partying! When my alarm went off at 9am I could barely get myself out of bed.

After I checked out of the hotel, I went back over to Tattoo Art to finish up with my ear. First of all, Adam had to regauge my ears. THAT sucked. Stud guns (like they use in malls) are typically 18 gauge, but the jewelry I was putting in was 14 gauge. So we had to put in a taper to get the new jewelry in. Ugh! My ear throbbed for the rest of the day! LOL I could actually feel my heartbeat in my ear! It was worth it, though, because I think it turned out sweet!

Adam is such a great guy. I had an absolute fabulous time at the shop chatting with him and Nicole, a trainee there. They are so nice and genuine. It didn't seem like I spent a total of 6 hours there! Both Adam & Nicole are totally easy to talk to and we seem to have enough in common that the conversation isn't totally awkward, either.

But the best part of the weekend...
