Anyplace in the world...

If I could be anywhere in the world right now, I'd want to be:

So She Dances

A waltz when she walks in the room
She pulls back the hair from her face
She turns to the window to sway in the moonlight
Even her shadow has grace
A waltz for the girl out of reach
She lifts her hands up to the sky
She moves with the music
The song is her lover
The melody's making her cry
So she dances
In and out of the crowd like a glance
This romance is
From afar calling me silently
A waltz for the chance I should take
But how will I know where to start?

She's spinning between constellations and dreams
Her rhythm is my beating heart
So she dances
In and down off the ground like a glance
This romance is
From afar calling me silently
I can't keep on watching forever
I give up this view just to tell her
When I close my eyes I can see
The spotlights are bright on you and me
We've got the floor
And you're in my arms
How could I ask for more?
So she dances
In and down off the ground like a glance
This romance is
From afar calling me silently
I can't keep on watching forever
And I'm givin' up this view just to tell her...

Lady Marian...

Marian: My father had me taught to fight... He wanted me to have choices in the world. And I choose to help the poor. You are not about to stop me doing that.

Robin: But does your father know what you're doing?

Marian: He... thinks I enjoy embroidery.

GRIN.

Sometimes, all it takes is a grin to brighten up my day...and gosh, what a grin.

Tea

I love tea.

Phones...

A friendship can weather most things and thrive in thin soil; but it needs a little mulch of letters and phone calls and small, silly presents every so often - just to save it from drying out completely.

Pam Brown

I used to hate to talk on the phone...had a very serious dread of it. I had to change that once I started to work, and now I don't quite have such a fear of phones. I still don't like answering them to take a message for someone else, but I love to hear my cell ring and look down to see that a bestest friend is calling me, "Just because". Not many of my friends live close by, but I know that whenever I need to rant, cry, laugh, share, or just talk about anything at all, I can simply pick up my phone and press those quick buttons to call a bestest friend! So yes, I have a love/hate relationship with phones...however! I have to say I do LOVE my phone, Riley...he's such a handy lil fella to have around. :)

Books...

There is no frigate like a book
To take us lands away,
Nor any coursers like a page

Of prancing poetry...

The Saddest Song

Everyone needs a sad song in their life...and what better one could there be than one titled, "The Saddest Song"?

An Ordinary Princess

Lavender's blue, rosemary's green
When I am king, you shall be queen.

~*~

What girl can pass up the deliciousness of a sweet, romantic fairytale? Even if it is unrealistic? "The Ordinary Princess" is certainly the best fairytale I have ever read...even topping "Beauty and the Beast" in my favorites. Why? Because it is not at all like any other fairytale. Princess Amy is no ordinary princess! As a baby she receives the gift of "being ordinary" and grows up a plain girl with mousy hair and freckles. She is surpassed by her many sisters' beauty and no prince will look twice at her. When her father, the king, comes up with a ridiculous plan to snare her a husband, she runs away, determined to make her own way in life. She is hired as a maid in a castle, where she meets the most perfect prince charming, whose unusual "un-Prince-Charmingish manners are what make him "perfect", in my opinion. And such an adorable story is matched with equally adorable illustrations, all written and illustrated by M.M. Kaye. "The Ordinary Princess" is truly <3.

You Are Loved...

I'm not your normal "Grobanite", where I am crazy about Josh Groban...yes, I think he has a great voice and all, but I'm not THAT crazy about his voice or all of his song choices. But I have to admit, this song IS catchy...and the message is uplifting to me at times.

Maybe it is a cheesy song...maybe it's over-done...but there are days where I feel like I'm being crushed by the weight of the world...I LONG for people to understand me! Too often I think that no one listens, that no one understands, that no one WANTS to...but I'm wrong.
God hears my every word. He sees my every thought. He listens all the time, He understands...

Do you know how wonderful it is to have someone who TRULY understands you? Sure, you have your friends who "get" you...there may be people who are extremely close to you, but maybe, just maybe, you are like me where I cannot disclose everything to just anyone. There are things I have to hold in, there are things I can't tell...and sometimes, because you hold back, people misunderstand you.

It's a constant struggle with me, believing that there is actually someone out there who totally understands me...someone who loves me enough to listen ALL the time. Someone who never leaves me alone when I'm lonely.

Isn't that fantastic? To be able to just KNOW that there's someone who completely understands you ALL the time. So "don't give up" and know "you are loved"!

Summer afternoon

Summer afternoon - summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language. ~Henry James

All Alone...

"Everyone, at some point in their lives, wakes up in the middle of the night with the feeling that they are all alone in the world, and that nobody loves them now and that nobody will ever love them, and that they will never have a decent night's sleep again and will spend their lives wandering blearily around a loveless landscape, hoping desperately that their circumstances will improve, but suspecting, in their heart of hearts, that they will remain unloved forever. The best thing to do in these circumstances is to wake somebody else up, so that they can feel this way, too."

Lemony Snicket

Only a Prayer Away...

Where would I turn without You?
You always know the right direction
And what would I know without You?
You answer all the toughest questions

I, all that I can say
I need You, I need You everyday

One step away from breaking down
10 minutes late and I’m totally falling down
And it’s so plain to see
I’m my own worst enemy
One more day and I’ll get it right
I’m a trip, I’m a mess and I’m crying on the inside
That’s why it feels so good to say
That you’re only a prayer away

Who would I trust without You?
You’re the only one that gets me
How would I live without You?
I never will so don’t even ask me

I, all that I can say
I need You, I need You everyday


I know that life won’t always be rainbows
I know I can count on You
And You will see me through

So what I'm not your average girl
I don't meet the standards of this world
