Strange

"Strange" - Tori Amos

One week later and I'm still breathing. Guess you were right, but no one said it's been easy. 4 days, 3 hours, and 11 minutes since our last conversation. A first in over 5 years. Things ended many times with us, haven't they? But I guess I didn't plan on it ending again so soon. I was prepared for one of our nothing fights and realized shortly after that everything suddenly changed. Your intentions, my mind, our hearts, everything.

I've been going through several ups and downs. Reasons to stay, even more reasons to leave. The thing is this time I don't really have a choice if I'm the only one that's not sure which one to make. Maybe I'll know what I want by next Saturday. Maybe it wouldn't even matter what I want. Maybe next Saturday won't happen. All I know is it will definitely be strange.

I just don't know in what way yet.

Lyrics:

strange
thought i knew you well
thought i had read the sky
thought i had read a change
in your eyes, so strange
woke up to a world
that i am not a part
except when i can play
it's stranger


after all what were you really looking for
and i wonder when will i learn
blue isn't red everybody knows this
and i wonder when will i learn
when will i learn
guess i was in deeper than i thought i was
if i have enough love
for the both of us

"just stay"
you said "we'll build a nest"
so i left my life
tried on your friends
tried on your opinions
so when the bridges froze
and you did not come home
i put our snowflake
under a microscope

after all what was i really looking for
and i wonder when will i learn
maybe my wish knew better than i did
and i wonder when will I learn
when will I learn
guess i was in deeper than i thought i was
if i have enough love
for the both of us

so strange
now i'm finally in
the party has begun
it's not like i can't feel you still
but strange what i will leave behind
you call me one more time

but now i must be leaving

Soul Mates

"Once Upon A Dream" - Sleeping Beauty How funny it is that even after all these years and how far we've come with animation, this classic Disney cartoon still grabs me. Yes, I know it's silly, but it's a silly I grew up with and can't help but fall for... I know the story is so far fetched: a 16 year old girl (that looks more like a 21 year old) with gold of sunshine in her hair and lips that would shame the red, red rose sings high up in the mountain tops and suddenly attracts the man of her dreams; her soul mate! (who by golly is the prince that she has been betrothed to since she was a baby!). Unbelievable. So it's all fairytale crap, but so what? I'm not into it because of the romance! To tell you the truth, I don't even like Aurora all that much, the spoiled lil' brat. I mean, she's beautiful in EVERY way, finds out she's a princess and is going to marry into royalty on top of her royalty! I can't really sympathize... Seriousl...

Broken

"Paradise" - Coldplay It took a while for this song to affect me, but I guess a windy drive home through an obstacle course of devastating proportions and the sudden panic of having a "State of Emergency" warning flash within my quiet hometown can change things. A lot. I didn't sleep a single minute last night. Although this isn't anything new, it's new to me to want to sleep and not get it. It was unbelievably frightening to be alone in my room with the nite-lite busted and the wind at full speed...even worse when half the roof over my head flew to the ground with a thunderous thud bringing the rest of the sleepless city to its feet. We've seen the Santa Ana winds, but never at this magnitude. It moved cars and busted windows. It rattled fences and ripped gates apart. It knocked over trashcans and picked up patio furniture like it weighed nothing. In the morning when the dust settled just enough for the hazy sun to bring some light to the mayhem, w...

Welcome to People

Songs TBA Last night, I saw a special, private screening courtesy of the Screening Exchange called, "Welcome to People" directed by Alex Kurtzman. I loved it and it wasn't something that I thought I'd love. In fact, I almost changed my mind at the last minute when I saw that familiar long line down the steps at Arclight Paseo. I figured, "Hell it's just another movie." But I'm so glad I didn't turn around. I'm glad I stood in the back of the line, got my hand stamped and cell phone taken away for nearly 3-hours in order to be in a room filled with strangers. I just wish I had something with me to write down the great songs I heard that disappeared by the time I logged onto this blog. It makes me appreciate technology...so check it out when it comes out. I'll make sure I have my cell phone handy the next time I see it so I can grab some songs along the way. Oh, I'm Hannah, not Frankie and let me know what you think.
