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

Who has to know

My Favorite Christmas Gift!!

Matt asked me to marry him this morning! He got me the iPod I wanted and had it engraved with "I love you w/ all my heart. Will you marry me?". When I looked up from reading the inscription, he was on one knee with my ring! Of course I said Yes!!!!

Merry Christmas Everyone!







Mariah Carey - All I Want For Christmas Is You

You Are Cupid

A total romantic, you're always crushing on a new reindeer.

Why You're Naughty: You've caused so much drama, all the reindeers aren't speaking to each other.

Why You're Nice: You have a knack for playing matchmaker. You even hooked Rudolph up!

You've made Santa a very happy fellow this year.
Don't worry - what happens at the North Pole stays at the North Pole!



You Are a Bright Christmas Tree

For you, the holidays are all about fun and seasonal favorites.
You are into all things Christmas, even if they're a little tacky.



You Were Mostly Nice This Year!

Sure, you had your naughty moments... but guess what?
Santa was probably sleeping when you were living it up.
As far as he's concerned, you've been on your best behavior.
So cross your fingers, and you might score good presents.



You Are Socks!

Cozy and warm... but easily lost.
You make a good puppet.



Your Christmas is Most Like: A Christmas Story

Loving, fun, and totally crazy.
Don't shoot your eye out!

Many guys find you intimidating, but a select few think you're the catch of a lifetime.
Start hanging out in more used record stores, and you'll find love with a fellow rocker!

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


I also switched up the old videos on the site so that you can still see them if you want...just press stop on this one, then scroll down to the other video and press play!

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.

For Cami :)...

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!
