Favorite Song Of The Week

First off, The Maine pretty much owns my soul. It's about all I listen to these days. And to think I hated them a couple months ago... But to match that wonderfully moping post previous to this one, we have this song. It's definitely one of my favorites. It's so sad, but so true. So, here's to you The Maine.

MY FAVORITE SONG THIS WEEK IS...


We All Roll Along
by: The Maine



I remember every night we spent
On weekends, with good friends
We did nothing but it seems like we did so much
Back then

Oh back then, we would kick it laughin', and all relaxin'
And taking things for granted
We did anything for just that little rush
Oh yeah

Just don't forget this
We won't regret this
We've got one chance to get it right
We're alive and we drive to the center of it
Where we know we're all fine and this just can't be it
And in the end we all know we only breathe for so long
So tonight's the night
Oh we all roll along

Oh back to our first cigarette
You know we can't forget all the faces that we met
Eighty One, Twenty Three, means everything to me

Take me back to the parking lots
The sleep we fought
And all the places we got caught
This place will always be a part of me
Yeah, you're all a part of me

Just don't forget this
We won't regret this
We've got one chance to get it right
We're alive and we drive to the center of it
Where we know we're all fine and this just can't be it
And in the end we all know we only breathe for so long
So tonight's the night
Oh we all roll along

I remember every day that I spent dreaming, of leaving
This place behind, I would run away from, thinking
Ending up all the days spent wasted
Chasing the girls we hated
Some things, they, they never change

Take me back to sleepless nights
The stupid fights
And no, it never mattered who was wrong or who was right
And now you're all a part of me

We're alive and we drive to the center of it
Where we know we're all fine and this just can't be it
And in the end we all know we only breathe for so long
So tonight's the night
Oh we all roll along

"Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten."

Only four days left, people. As much as everyone is aware of this and counting it down, too, it still seems important. Look back to last May and you'll see one of these there too. This is just a little more condensed.

I DON'T WANT HIGH SCHOOL TO GO THIS FAST.
I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE ALL MY FRIENDS BEHIND, EVEN IF WE STILL TALK.
I WANT TO LIVE MY DAYS AS A KID, MORE SO THAN I AM NOW.
I'M SCARED OF GOING TO COLLEGE.
I'M SCARED OF THE FUTURE.
THESE THINGS FRIGHTEN ME.
MORE THAN ALMOST ANYTHING ELSE.

That's honesty right there. I mean everything. So only four days left. And it scares me.

But enough of that. Such is life. I just checked my grades today and I'm actually pulling straight A's at the moment. Freakin' awesome, right? That's chemistry included! F YES! Hopefully that will buoy the semester tests I'm bombing... After the aforementioned failing I'll post my sophomore second semester grades, which are hopefully still maintaining those A's, although that's unlikely. Then onto junior year...see above...

WHO WANTS TO GO TO WARPED TOUR THIS YEAR?!?! MELANIE!!! Go look up the August 2nd Minneapolis date. It's pretty intense. Looking forward to begging to go. Speaking of concerts...

How long until The Believers Never Die, Part Deux Show?: 6 days!

...That's a fail countdown right there. Looking forward to that too. Anybody have a 200 dollars they don't want? 100? A camera?

And finally:


What is Melanie listening to right now?: I Must Be Dreaming - The Maine
P.S. Thanks for the quote, Korra.
