COPELAND

"Love Affair"

Fell past a cheekbone hill
To a piece of her floor.
The hope of the world
In an awkward spill.

Oh she'd lie on her bed
And stare into harsh white light.
And think that her heart's not right.

'Cause love took her hand like a thief,
took her heart like a robber
and the feelings that scare her
become her relief.

Just let me run where I want to run
Just let me love who I want.
Just let me run where I want to run
Just let me love who I want.

In a flash a heart is slain.
You have to ask in all this pain
Was your heart too soft?
Was your love in vain?

Was your kiss too weak?
Were your eyes too tight?
And much too young to be in love.
Much too young to be in love.

Just let me run where I want to run.
Just let me love who I want.
Just let me run where I want to run.
Just let me love who I want.
Just let me run where I want to run.
Just let me love who I want.

There are no rules for this love.
Just keep your head and don't give up.
Like all the fools who play it smart.
Lose your head just for your heart
Just for your heart...

So i finally got an awesome 13" white macbook. It's pretty sweet. The only problem is that i don't know how to set up a network on my home computer system so that i can just move my songs & pictures folders over to my new computer.... instead of redownloading EVERYTHING. The only other option is to move it over (at a turtle-like pace) on a 1GB jumpdrive. I haven't even tried to install Zune on this computer yet... i'm just too afraid that it won't work. That would be SO devistating. Hopefully, that won't happen.

Today i ordered this protection cover that is see-thru and red at the same time. From what i'm told, it makes the macbook look like it was born red.... and I'm thinking that i might order an applesac too... check them out here. I am pretty sure that i will be getting the burlap-esqe one.

In other news, i got a moto razr today. I've never had anything motorola before, so this system has taken some getting used to as well. But now i've entered all my contacts and whatnot so i feel more familiar with it. I would have already put a lot of awesome ringtones on it, but once again, all of my songs are on the dell. I also got the cute little bluetooth earpiece for when i'm driving and all that jazz.

I think that the most important news overall is that today (*fingers crossed*) i finished all of my shopping for the dorm. It is all packed up and ready to go. Now just 19 more days and i will be leaving.

Words cannot express the anticipation and stress that i feel right now. I know in my heart that in 3 weeks from now i will be in a brand new environment, but i don't know how i'm going to deal with it. My entire life i have dreamt of moving out of a small town and into a big city; now that it's time to do it, i can't imagine how it's going to be possible. My only concern is that i don't let my family and friends down. I've never had to live without them, and i would hate to disappoint them on my first try... especially after we've invested ALL of this capitol. omg art school is expensive. I'm hoping to subract A LOT from my house-sized loan by (hopefully) winning a scholarship. I should know soon whether or not i won. All in all, if this art school thing doesn't pay out big bucks, i will take my college debt to my grave (something i'm obviously not looking forward to).

I guess you learn a lot about people from their Myspace account. I like reading others' "about me" sections because they are heartfelt autobiographies written to either impress or explain. I think it is amazing to see how people think they are perceived by others.

I have become a myspace/facebook/livejournal blabbering idiot.....

Somebody save me!

I can't get anything done..

So, yesterday I went shopping for the first time to actually get stuff for my apartment. All I bought was a mini fridge and a complete bathroom set. Ronny and i spent so long on that one aisle trying to decide on a color scheme and then figuring out what accessories i needed. I don't think i could have done it without him.

And on Saturday, Ronny and I went to see Relient K, Mae, and Sherwood. That show has got to be the best show I have ever been to! Those three bands are the best! I got to meet most of Sherwood, some of Mae, and one of RK. The show was really weird I guess because there were a lot of church groups there (which means a lot of people who were new to the whole concert experience). Add that to the fact that we were packed into a bar, basically, and then add in the fact that we were on Jacksonville Beach (on the strip) late at night and then you can imagine how hot it was in that building. A lot of the "newbs" in the pit weren't prepared for the raw energy of it, or the heat factor, to say the least. We were able to make it up to about 3rd row center, where i was surrounded and squashed by those boys that realize how packed the pit is and start pushing everybody (so annoying)... The show was pretty intimate, as far as people on stage singing to me <3. And everybody had an amazing light show. 3 days later, my ears are still ringing.

A lot of people went to the Plush on Sunday to see Underoath, Maylene, and Norma Jean, which was also a Christian show. I can mostly say that I am glad that I didn't go. First of all, I only like Underoath out of those three, and then, there was WAY too much testosterone for me in that building. period.

All in all, my weekend and beginning of the week was GREAT! Both of those things were part of my graduation gifts, be it a concert from my baby ronny, or a save on cash that i began getting in the mail a week ago. Either way you look at it, it points to an awesome summer ahead!

yesterday i began *cleaning things out* so that i could pack easier in July. and then Monday i tried on my cap and gown to make sure it fit. This is all coming together now...

so i guess I'm the only person who is not interested at all in going to graduation parties. I could actually care less.

What a nerd.
