so i didnt post yesterday....eh thats alright.....so im getting sick....yuk....ive been drinking alot of water....so i flush out my system....so hopefully that'll help me get better...i already feel a lil better...and im not leaving my apartment at all today....imma be a hermit....but thats good cuz itll keep me from getting even sicker...and it'll force me to do my speech...thats due tomorrow....maybe ill come down with laryngitis??? hmmm....neway...so last night leann and i went downtown to see the lighting ceremony of the magnificant mile, and to see the fireworks...well leann got caught in traffic so we missed both...but it was still beautiful....have i ever mentioned how much i love chicago?? well i do...oh i posted pictures from leann and my "night on the town" so go check those out...i look like crappola, but umm what else is new??? i see im going to have to post two songs of the day today to make up for yesterday...hmmm....ill have to think what i wanna put up....Brand New is here tonight... thats gonna be a great show lemme tell ya kids...they were here last night too...so leann was here until about 4am....i love our talks....she and i are like eachothers shrinks...we're like heterosexual life parnters...we understand eachother so well...we had our nice lil conversation about guys...how we just cant quite understand them....i mean i can to a point cuz im the only girl in my family...and i hung out with all guys...i was such a tomboy...and even now...im not so much of a tomboy anymore but i still hang out with mainly guys...so i can kinda get into their heads...but sometimes...i just dont understand...take for example jason...alright i know the kid still has feelings for me...and he doesnt state them but i know they're there....and yet hes going out with another girl....and i dunno if u read my very first entry on here ull get most of the story....but it makes me think...cuz i know he still has feelings for me...and he really liked me alot i mean not to sound concided but im all the kid ever talked about....his friends have told me this....i mean when i first met his grandparents, they knew my name and were like its great to finally meet you jason talks about you so much....and his best friend vince said basically the same thing...and at the time it felt good...but now its just like ouch...and i know he had just gotten outta a long term relationship....and maybe it freaked him out that he liked me so much...he even told me it just kinda scares me cuz im so comfortable with you...and i know i can trust you and blah blah...whatever...well it just makes me think that maybe he sees me as someone he could be with longterm...and he doesnt want that right now...so hes keepin me on the backburner until hes ready to be with me...which if thats the case...makes me feel really good...that he sees me like that, but by no means is what he is doing right...cuz it does hurt....although its not as much as before...its still there....and then my parents told me that if i wanted to i could invite him to come with us to my aunts and uncles for thanksgiving...so i mentioned it to him and he sounded excited...like he really wanted to go with...and i would like him to go...but part of me doesnt want him to....i want him to go because i know things would go well...and maybe it would make him realize...hey, things are good here...and theres nothing to run away from....and maybe things would start to re-progress between us....like it was before...and for that very same reason i dont want him to go...becuase im scared of getting into a relationship...if he were to walk in that door right now and be like vanessa will you go out with me....id say yes...but then id freak out...because im so scared of getting hurt....sigh im such a complicated person....and then im probably completley wrong on my thinking...and probably over analyzing things...as i tend to do...and he really just doesnt like me and doesnt want a relationship with me....but then theres the way he acts with me and the way he talks to me...and the way he just is with me...that makes me think that maybe there is still hope...and that i need to give him his time to realize....i dunno...well now that ive written a complete book......ive used all my energy to spill my guts on here...and i coulda been writing my speech...eh well the day is still young...neway i dont think anyone reads these anyway...oh well... heres the song of the day....well two of them....
Todays song of the day:

Jets To Brazil-Further North

The road tonight is cold with ice and no cars pass by.
Thank god for no phone call.
Just snow and a fire.
December endings and since you sent me things, I just feel further north.
This year took ten years to tell me that I'm alone again.
Everything here's about to break.
I'm one inch from all that I can take,
and it's beautiful and sad, but it's all that I have.
So tonight, let's stay inside.
I'll be the husband with a book for a bride.
Tonight, let's stay inside.
I could play guitar.
I've got so many songs that you never heard,
and they weren't about you.
I won't change a word just because you're gone.
The trees creak with arthritic arms.
Brittle in their powdered bark.
Blue moon light, I can't cry right, but I miss you tonight.
Everything here's about to break.
I'm one inch from more than I can take,
and it's beautiful and sad, but it's all that I have.
So tonight, I'll stay inside.
There are things that I'd like to try with you, but I stay inside.
Tonight, I'll stay inside.
I could play guitar.

These guys rock my socks

Yesterdays song of the day:

Hidden In Plain View-Where The Highways End

Its 6AM, open roads and open skies
under this wyoming sunrise
a close encounter with
the emptiness and nothingness
21 years out on the run from our small hometown
you could hear a whisper in the wind
filling me with confidence
so i took advice from the headlights
it made it clear it opened up my eyes
and it opened up my mind
holding on forever to these dreams
we made together
im never gonna let them die
cause i couldnt bear the sight
there is not a word spoken
living in the moment
we're broken down but we're not broken
it will be alright
the world lied awake
as the haze burned away
the wheel seemed to turn on its own
on its way toward the horizons golden
so sunrise, im holding on to you
lift me up, drop me down
through the sounds and ill float
across the coasts, the unknowns
or in our minds where no one knows
thisis where we choose to run away
from all the things we just cant take
all the forced smiles and dreams that washed away
hold on, hold tight, be strong, it will be alright

Good Charlotte-Change
I am lost in the see-through
I think you've lost yourself too
Throughout all of this confusion
I hope we'll somehow get to you
I practice all the things i'd say
To tell you how i feel
And when i finally get my chance
It all seems to surreal
Cause from the first time i saw you
I only thought about you.
I didnt know you
I wanted to hold onto
The thing youd never say to me
'Cause you said
You cant change the way you feel
(i could never do that, i could never do that)
but you cant tell me this aint real, cause this is real
(and you can see right through that)
In the end its all ive got
So im gunna hold
On and on and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
And now you've got me watchin your eyes
(i'm watching just to see, watching just to see)
You got me watchin just to see
(if youll ever look at me)
If it goes the way it never will
(but will it ever go, will it ever go my way)
Your eyes are watchin me.
Oh, and now you've got me thinkin bout
the first time that i met you
Standin in a crowded room
But i could only see you
And i hope my words will get through
Cause now i cant forget you
I want to tell you
If only i could reach you
And make you feel this way
But you said
You can change the way you feel
(I could never do that, i could never do that)
But you can tell me this aint real, cause this is real
(and you could see right through that)
In the end its all ive got
So i'm gonna hold on and on

erm i wish they hadn't of sold out...

Hot Rod Circuit- A Nature's Mercy

Hard not to get hooked...
Hooked on you.
Hard not to get hooked...
Hooked on you.
I think of all the trouble that we get into whenever I'm around you.
Nothing I can do.
All the secrets and mistakes
Yeah, that were made.
What else do I have to say?
I hate being without you.
Never going to leave your side 'cause I can't resist the crazy thing you do.
It's going to take a lot of your time and I hope someday I can give it back to you.
All the trouble that we get into.
Whenever I'm around you,
All the secrets and mistakes that we made.
What else do I have to say?
I hate being without you.
Never going to leave your side 'cause I can't resist the crazy thing you do.

Yesterdays song of the day:

Unwritten Law-Rescue Me

Shut down
Fallin over once again
Dropped out
Hand extended for a friend
Looked up
And there's you lookin in
And who cares
Cause no ones lookin anyway
Impaired
My vision lost it yesterday
And that's fine
Don't mind feelin that way
Just don't let me lie here by my self
Let’s go
I know I'm faded
Outta sight
Tonight
Just stay with me, I don't wanna go home
Outta sight
Tonight
Just rescue me
I don't wanna go
Rewind and take me back to start again
Ducked out cause paranoia's settin in
But I'm with you until the end
One ride
We'll drive around the parkin lot
No pride
Cause I don't seem to care a lot
No cash
This change is all I got
Just don't let me ride here by myself now
Let’s go
I know I'm faded
Outta sight
Tonight
Just stay with me, I don't wanna go home
All right
Tonight
Just rescue me, I don't wanna go
So set still
One last thrill
Just stay with me and we'll never go home
Outta sight
Tonight
Just rescue me and we'll never go home
Yeah we'll never go home Yeah
I don't wanna go
One more ride
One time once again
Just climb in
I'm still climbing yeah
One more ride
One time once again
Just climb in
I'm still climbing
Outta sight
Tonight
Just stay with me, I don't wanna go home
All right
Tonight
Just rescue me, I don't wanna go
So set still
One last thrill
Just stay with me and we'll never go home
Outta sight
Tonight
So rescue me and we'll never go home

Lucky Boys Confusion-Still
Sitting, attractively bored
I guess I had this coming, it’s been a long time coming
Casually she kills me, attractively bored
I leave too much unsaid, I leave too much unsaid
You’ve got the sand in the palm of your hand
Don’t let it slip away
Regret haunts forever, don’t try to be clever
To shatter these weak walls
And finally he approaches, the one he’s watched so long
He musters up his courage, hello
Then he turns around and heads back to the daily life he knows
When a tap upon his shoulder, hello
Sweating, my swagger ignored
And I’m swaying on the border, got to get my life in order
Casually she stills me, attractively scarred
I leave too much unsaid, I leave too much unsaid
Youve got the sand in the palm of your hand
Don't let it slip away
Regret haunts forever, don't try to be clever
To shatter these weak walls
And finally he approaches, the one he's watched so long
He musters up his courage, hello
Then he turns around and heads back to the daily life he knows
When a tap upon his shoulder, hello
