It's Me Again

"I Am" - Christina Aguilera

I used my shuffle mode and nothing. I browsed, thought, rummaged, pulled my hair, reminisced, googled, spaced out, paced back and forth, but couldn't find anything I knew of already to write about. And so, I found something new. I feel like this song should be in a play or on a soundtrack from a cheesy, but beautiful movie like Neverending Story. It reminds me of a fairytale. I never heard this song until now and now that I found it, it describes everything that I am.

I am...
anxious, overly dramatic, always right, pessimistic, full of warmth, pouty, stubborn, creative, an insomniac, hopeful, worn out, caring, curious, contemplative, drowning in thought, powerful, dependent, seeking, in wonderment, colorful, trapped, withdrawn, lost, craving winter, wanting everything for nothing, a soft punch to the shoulder, a hard kick in the balls, a pen and paper, an argument, a workaholic, still learning, vast, a multi-tasker, tidy, particular, willing, not a quitter, a coffee cup, sensual, comforting, an open book, a run-on sentence...I am.

Lyrics:

I am timid and
I am oversensitive
I am a lioness
I am tired and defensive
You take me in your arms
And I fall into you
I have insecurities
You show me I am beautiful

Love me or leave me

Just take it or leave it
It's not that I'm needy
Just need you to see me

Take me, free me, see through to the core of me
Take me, free me, there will be no more pretending

Mmmm...

I am temperamental and
I have imperfections and
I am emotional
I am unpredictable
I am naked
I am vulnerable
I am a woman
I am opening up to you

Love me or leave me
Just take it or leave it
It's not that I'm needy
Just need you to see me

Take me, free me, see through to the core of me
Take me, free me, there will be no more pretending

Now I stand before you with my heart in my hands
I'm asking you to take me just the way that I am
Please lay down your arms, do you know me?
Make me feel safe from harm

Take me, free me, see through to the core of me
Take me, free me, there will be no more pretending

I am temperamental and
I have imperfections and
I am emotional
There'll be no more pretending

Mmhmm...

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.

Love Is Not Blind

"Colorblind" - Counting Crows I originally had a Dave Matthews Band song in my head, but like always I'm bending the rules a little bit and going with what's in my heart. After all, I couldn't follow my last blog with something you didn't like, could I? That just wouldn't fit and this seems to do just that. This song reminds me of the movie Cruel Intentions . It's hard not to think of it. Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe's chemistry was so strong, especially in their steamy love scene with this song playing in the background, that any other memory pales in comparison. I always thought the lyrics were so simple and romantic, but it became even clearer here. There was no doubt about it. I knew instantly that they were a real life couple even before they announced it. Love is obvious. Acting can never really be this good unless two people have genuine feelings for each. Look at Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams in The Notebook and Angelina Jolie ...

Play Pretend

"Animal" - Neon Trees I think of a car commercial. A group of fun-loving teens riding along in a convertible to the beach with their tanned limbs dangling from each side. I could see the waves crashin' against the cliffs as they drive pass with the sun and wind whippin' their golden blond hair over their bug-eyed sunglasses. I hear laughter and this song blasting in the background. I see newly-polished red toe nails and matching swimwear from American Apparel. I smell suntan lotion and tropical kiwi-strawberry body splash. A picnic basket filled with junk food sits side-by-side next to a big, red beer cooler chillin' in the backseat! Everyone's burstin' with bright smiles, white teeth, and energy! What a total California Summer cliche! My ultimate nightmare! But... it is a good song and sometimes a gal gotta step outta my element and play pretend every once in a while as if I will ever be able to fit into this stereotypical mold. Now all this Barbi...
