Work in Progress

"Easier to Lie" - Aqualung

I tried my hardest last night. I wanted to forget so that I could remember, but I couldn't shake it off that easily. I tried to pull myself out of my inner shell and just be ok with not really being ok. It's a work in progress, but progressing nonetheless. I'm not jumping head first into a shallow pool. No accidents or "should have known better's" here. I know exactly what I'm doing and am staying afloat as I do it. This is how I know I'm not in love.

But it feels good to be desired, to be held, to be heard, and to be felt in such a way I thought I'd never feel again. Is it all make-believe? A fantasy? Probably. Most likely. But at least it's not just a dream...

Lyrics:

To bear the weight
and push into the sky
it's easier to lie
it's easier to lie

And honestly
to look you in the eye
it's easier to lie
it's easier to lie

To be the one
to be the only one
someone has to give a lot
something has to give a lot

And who am I
to give you what you need
when I'm learning
just learning
Learning how to live and

to bear the weight...
and push into the sky
it's easier to lie
it's easier to lie

And honestly
to look you in the eye
it's easier to lie
it's easier to lie

To fill the space
the space you made for me
try to be the one you want
try to be the way you want

And maybe I
could be the one you need
if you'd only
show me
Show me how to live and

how to bear the weight
And push into the sky
it's easier to lie
easier to lie

And do what's right
when everything is wrong
it's easier to run
it's easier to

Never have
to look you in the eye
it's easier to lie
it's easier to lie

To bear the weight
and push into the sky
it's easier to lie

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 ...

If You're A Nerd, I'm A Nerd.

"Revenge of the Nerds" Theme Music Some things will never grow old with me. This classic 80's film is one of them. It always makes me want to root for the underdog! It's a bit raunchy and definitely dated, but I love it. I love how they find a runned down ol' house and fix it up to look as good as new. I love how they pour liquid heat over the "jockstrap salad" and invade the Pies. I love how Gilbert makes a move on Judy through computer animation and cheers her on no matter how terrible she sounds playing the accordion. "So I say I gotta be free. So I say I gotta be me." - Judy (Michelle Meyrink) I love the yellow tricycle. Takashi you're my hero! I love how the Lambdas barricade the stage in the end to give Gilbert a chance to speak up. But most of all, I love the talent show! It doesn't matter that I own this movie on DVD, I still watch it whenever it pops up on TV. It's just one of those things you can't bring yourself to ch...
