My Personal Void

"Never Say Never" - The Fray

Tomorrow would've marked a month since I let my words fill you.  It wasn't intentional and it wasn't like I had nothing to write.  I just haven't found my comfort zone yet.  But now, it's as if I can't get enough of you and I don't ever want to.  So I'm taking advantage of this greed.

Right now I'm staring out of my new office window, 4 floors up and above a brick mantle filled with framed photos and two wilted plants. I have two books on my desk, "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff" and "Keep Calm and Carry On." I have yet to read them. I have a stack full of ungraded papers, a box of tissue and a half-empty bottle of water. Or is it half-full? I have a stapler, a labeler and a highlighter that should be put to good use right about now. But I've been distracted since I woke up at the crack of dawn this morning. Since I hopped onto the train ride here. Since I broke my new boots in on my usual walk and since I drank my delicious grande vanilla latte that I now realize I need to survive the day.

Sometimes when I feel like coming back to you something stops me.  As if the material I have isn't concrete enough, as if I may be spending too much time rewriting the same thing, and as if I'm wasting my time altogether.  So all I end up with is a fist full of "as ifs" and nothing ever coming out of it besides all these different excuses I vow to never make again.  Then a week turns into more weeks and more excuses come rolling in.  Maybe I'm flustered with all the changes they made to you and with all the changes I've been through.  You know how I feel about change.  Maybe I feel like no one's really reading anyway and that I'm writing into a void so how can a void miss me? 

Lyrics:

Some things we don't talk about
Rather do without
And just hold the smile
Falling in and out of love
Ashamed and proud of
Together all the while

You can never say never
While we don't know when
But time and time again
Younger now than we were before

Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go

Picture, you're the queen of everything
As far as the eye can see
Under your command
I will be your guardian
When all is crumbling
To steady your hand

You can never say never
While we don't know when
Time, time, time again
Younger now than we were before

Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go

We're pulling apart and coming together again and again
We're growing apart but we pull it together, pull it together, together again

Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go

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 ...
