"If I lay Here..."

"...if I just lay here, would you lie with me and just forget the world?" Recognize these lyrics?  Comment below with either the song title and/or artist for bonus points!

Apparently most of the songs I hear on Pandora I associate with movies or t.v. shows in which they were featured.  When I heard "Just the Way You Are" I practically wrote an entire post on Glee.  And this time the post will be about Grey's Anatomy (more specifically Denny Duquette and Izzie Stevens, but more on that later).  Grey's Anatomy has been on for many years now, but I just started to watch it about 10 months ago.  See, Fox would air reruns Sunday's at 11:04pm and I'd stay up and watch them from the beginning.  I eventually rented all the seasons and got caught up by the 2011 spring season premiere.  I really was a "school girl w/ time to waste."  

For those of you who watch the show, I guess you could say that this song was featured in two episodes.  But considering the fact that I did not care for (actually hated) the "musical" episode this past spring, I am voiding that one. The episode that came to my mind was the saddest episode in my opinion---the episode where Denny dies.

I am not one of those people who cries at movies, t.v. shows, or even news stories.  (I always tell myself that I'm "saving my tears for a time when I really need them")  However, when I saw this episode, I did not have time to remind myself to save them because this was just heartbreaking. Surprisingly enough, I am not sad while writing this and reflecting back on the episode.  I had my one good cry while watching the episode, but now I am at a point where when I think about it, I kind of smile at the beauty of that scene and the episode all together.

So I end this post with a smile...that's how we should remember those that we've lost anyway =] 

"This Friday Night..."

"...do it all again."  So, back to iHeartRadio I went for another song of the day =]  Which California Gurl sang this song?  Comment below and get an encouraging thumbs up!

Okay, I went to a camp this summer for three weeks.  It was fun, it was a nerd camp, I learned a lot, whatever.  But we had these dances every Friday night and it was awesome.  I hadn't really gone to many dances (honestly I couldn't bring myself to paying $12 for a homecoming dance that doesn't even have refreshments) but these dances were tons of fun.  So I've figured out something.  Unfortunately I still don't think I will pay to go to a dance...however baby steps will be taken.  I have decided to have a flash dance party every Friday night once school gets started.  I mean, I could potentially be a little stressed with all the activities, but a flash party will be awesome.  And I'll be looking forward to it all throughout the week.  Now I will mention that this party is for "me, myself, and I...pod" (Hahaha, just thought of that).  Still, I think these weekly parties will be fun and awesome.  I have a very low standard when it comes to having fun on weekends, though.

"Give Me Something to Believe In..."

"...cause I don't believe in you, anymore, anymore"  For the sake of today's topic, I will admit that the song artist is Maroon 5.  But the song title is still up for grabs...anyone?

Maroon 5 was like my obsession with Jessie J this year (check out that post here).  I may have just started obsessing over Jessie J this year, but Maroon 5 took over my life since the end of 5th grade.  What was I doing listening to Adam Levine singing about relationships at the age of 11?  Idk.  But Maroon 5 writes about what's real in life, and that's nice for a change.  All I know is that Adam's voice is amazing both on and off stage.

And since we're talking about Adam and "voices," why not talk about "The Voice" on which Adam was one of the judges/coaches on.  I really didn't watch this show from the get go, but when they got to basically the final four on each team, I began to really get in to it.  Of course I had to support my boy Adam and his team...and I guess it worked since the winner, Javier Colon, had him for a coach.

To sum it all up.  Maroon 5 is legen...wait for it...dary just like Jessie J and "The Voice" definitely had my views all due to Adam Levine, whose voice is pain killers for my ears when I listen to the radio.

"I'm like a firecracker..."

"...I make it hot"  Sound like it's from a song? Comment below!!! =]


So yes, I turn on I Heart Radio and this song pops up.  I guess her stuff is okay, but I kind of glad this song came up.  I only recently found out what a firecracker actually is.  Let's say in the suburban part of St. Louis County, fireworks aren't really permitted (as in they are ILLEGAL).

But, my mom has a friend, we call her Auntie Linda (pronounced Aint-eee, like a ghetto person) and she lives in St. Charles County, where fireworks are...less illegal.  So this 4th of July we bought some fireworks, invaded her house and LIT THEM ON FIRE.  And I can now confirm for myself that Brit---I mean, "this artist", was right in saying that firecrackers are hot.  I'll just stick with the sparklers, they're pretty <3  Enjoy this video of a little girl with a big sparkler!

*Update: I've decided to move from having all posts start with song lyrics, to just having a "Post of the Day" containing song lyrics from a song that I heard earlier that day and rants that relate to the topic*
