Favorite Song Of The Week

Oh, this song seems so old now. I've had it forever. I haven't been listening to MCR for, lets face it, a very long time. But this song has popped up a lot lately, and I've missed it. I never really realized how powerful it was. It holds a lot of meaning, not necessarily to me, but it's some pretty awesome MCR lyrical art. And I love it. The video is still frightening though. Oh, and that little thing about videos not working I mentioned in the post below? Yeah, same goes for pictures. So let me once again state how much effort I put in for you people.

MY FAVORITE SONG THIS WEEK IS...

Famous Last Words
by: My Chemical Romance


Now I know
That I can't make you stay
But where's your heart?
But where's your heart?
But where's your...

And I know
There's nothing I could say
To change that part
To change that part
To change...

So many
Bright lights, they cast a shadow
But can I speak?
Well is it hard understanding
I'm incomplete
A life that's so demanding
I get so weak
A love that's so demanding
I can't speak

I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home

Can you see
My eyes are shining bright
Cause I'm out here
On the other side
Of a jet black hotel mirror
And I'm so weak
Is it hard understanding
I'm incomplete
A love that's so demanding
I get weak

I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home

I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home

These bright lights have always blinded me
These bright lights have always blinded me
I say

I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid
Asleep or dead

(How can I see, I see you lying) 'Cause I see you lying next to me
(How can I see, I see you lying) With words I thought I'd never speak
(How can I see, I see you lying) Awake and unafraid
(How can I see, I see you lying) Asleep or dead

'Cause I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid
Asleep or dead

'Cause I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid
Asleep or dead

I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
(Or dead)
Honey if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
(Or dead)
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
(Or dead)
Honey if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
(Or dead)
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
(Or dead)
Honey if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home

Favorite Song of the Week

I think I like my singing voice more when I'm sick...but not with hiccups. Oh, and another important date from last week's FSOTW would be Maddy's Birthday on March 26.

MY FAVORITE SONG THIS WEEK IS...

Helena (So Long and Goodnight)
by: My Chemical Romance


Long ago
Just like the hearse you die to get in again
We are so far from you

Burning on just like a match you strike to incinerate
The lives of everyone you know

And what's the worst you take
From every heart you break
And like the blade you stain
Well I've been holding on tonight

What's the worst that I could say
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight

Came a time
When every star fall brought you to tears again
We are the very hurt you sold

And what's the worst you take
From every heart you break
And like the blade you stain
Well I've been holding on tonight

What's the worst that I could say
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
And if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight

Can you hear me
Are you near me
Can we pretend to leave and then
We'll meet again
When both our cars collide

What's the worst that I could say
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight
And if you carry on this way
Things are better if I stay
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight

Everyone's Looking For a Leave

I really don't have anything interesting to post about, but I'll ramble for anyone who reads this. I'm still not completely recovered from whatever's been ailing me, and school's been going okay, (um, why does my computer say I'm spelling 'okay' wrong? odd...). Study/American Perspectives/Speech are the highlights of my day. So far in speech, I have given two 'speeches.' They're quick and painless, but I can still dread it all day, right? Another one tomorrow! On Monday the fire alarms went off in the middle of morning announcements. It obviously wasn't a drill, since it cut the announcement-reader off and all the teachers in the gym looked around like, "should we be evacuating?" But it's okay if we all burn. We're burning in hell, right? (Haha, look who got witty.) So we got outside, and lucky for the school it was nice out Monday. I won't be suing. So I was standing in the mass of people - not oblivious to the fact that our ad-room had split up, so if Mrs. Nyhaug was making sure we were all alive, tough luck for her - when I thought "hey, I wonder if my sweater guy is out here..." So I turn around and BOOM. There he is, standing oh-so-conveniently between two trucks in his sweater. A wonderful gift for a Monday. Then Alissa attacked me. All was well, and we went back inside. Turns out the construction workers had lit another fire. For like the twentieth time. I could've stood out there longer myself, I really didn't want to go to Algebra. That's about it. I continue to sit with the posse, and felt very standing-out-ish today in my bright yellow sweatshirt. More later.

P.S. Of Mice and Men is a very depressing book. I've been down all day since I finished it.

New Poll!

Yes, I know it is kind of an eyesore, but it was too big to put anywhere else. Hopefully we'll have more votes with this one, the last poll was a bit of a downer. If any of the lyrics really speak to you, I have posted all the info about them, just for you. See how nice I am? Oh, and congratulations to 30 Seconds to Mars for winning Fuse's Best of 2007!
