Full of Shhhhh

"Come Undone" - Duran Duran

This song is dedicated to my insomnia.

I woke up this morning with a towel wrapped around my head, all the lights turned on, and my bed made. I looked over to the digital clock above my TV and it read, "9:01A." The sunshine made its way through my deep pink curtains. The air was beginning to warm up as I stretched over my neatly-placed bedsheets beneath me. I pulled a pillow over my face and let the cool side rest against my skin as I attempted to recall what exactly happened last night.

I wasn't drunk. I strayed away from the Grey and barely had one drink made up of more ice than candy-flavored liquor. No, I didn't let a random good-for-nothing guy buy it for me and yes, I was staring at Miss Bartender the whole time as she put this concoction together. I wasn't emotional. No fights broke out before, during or after this last minute shindig. My black eyeliner and tightly-wound ponytail stayed in tact even through the heat on the dance floor and the blare of the Latin music over the speakers. I was surrounded by people I trust and even came home at a decent hour, leaving the club before the last call for alcohol was announced. So, what made me so exhausted that I couldn't remember anything that happened once I got home?

I guess that's it. I was exhausted.

It's interesting to realize how quickly things change. Just a few months ago I barely slept. I could stay out forever because I stayed up anyway. It didn't matter if I got home at 3A or 6A, I'd shower and get ready for bed hoping that sleep would greet me and it rarely did. Yet lately the thought of going out into the wee hours of the morning tires me to the point when I prefer to simply stay in. If it wasn't for a few good friends, then I would've found myself doing exactly that. It's unusual for me to be so drained without any influence besides my own diminishing energy. I'm not at all saying that I'm domesticated to the point of never wanting to go out again, but it's just that sleep is more desirable to me since it has been something I had so little of over these past several months. It's finally back and I'm happy to say that I've been looking forward to its return.

Lyrics:

Mine, immaculate dream made breath and skin
I've been waiting for you
Signed, with a home tattoo,
Happy birthday to you was created for you

(can not forgive from falling apart at the seams
Can not believe you're taking my heart to pieces)

Oh, it'll take a little time,
Might take a little crime
To come undone now

We'll try to stay blind
To the hope and fear outside
Hey child, stay wilder than the wind
And blow me into cry

Who do you need, who do you love
When you come undone?
Who do you need, who do you love
When you come undone?

Words, playing me deja vu
Like a radio tune I swear I've heard before
Chill, is it something real
Or the magic I'm feeding off your fingers?

(can not forgive from falling apart at the seams
Can not believe you're taking my heart to pieces)

Lost, in a snow filled sky,
we'll make it alright
To come undone now

We'll try to stay blind
To the hope and fear outside
Hey child, stay wilder than the wind
And blow me into cry

Who do you need, who do you love
When you come undone?
Who do you need, who do you love
When you come undone?

(can not forgive from falling apart)
Who do you need, who do you love
When you come undone?
(can not forgive from falling apart)
Who do you need, who do you love?
(can not forgive from falling apart)
Who do you love
When you come undone?
(can not forgive from falling apart)

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.
