Electric Bird

So here we are, the first day of finals. It is finally happening, no pun intended. I have taken 1 final and have 4 more to go. woohoo... And now, when I should be in the library studying for my New Testament final so I can take it later today, I am in the SWKT creeping on fbook. (I ended up in here b/c I knew where the vending machines were) And I have decided finals are ridiculous. I don't know where a university gets off stressing out thousands of people for a whole week, and making them pay for it! Out. Of. Control. But I am not really stressed out. I have accepted the fact that I am going to have to retake stats, or find a class that will fill the same GE. SO I am really bored and not wanting to study so I am going to do this little game to occupy myself. Hope you all enjoy!

Christmas Time is Not Here

Usually I don't listen to Christmas music before Thanksgiving, but for some reason, this year I caved. Regardless of the reason I have found my top 5 favorite Christmas songs for Christmas 2008, in no particular order. Hope you all enjoy!

1. All I want for Christmas is You - Mariah Carey
All I want for Christmas is you, enough said.

2. O Come, O Come Emmanuel - Joshua James
I recently discovered Joshua James thanks to my good friend Chaela and I have loved him ever since, so it was like Christmas came early when I found he had a Christmas album.

3. Wintersong - Sarah McLachlan
Okay, kind of a sad song, but amazing. It is so peaceful, I just love it. That is all I have to say about it.

4. Frosty the Snowman - Fiona Apple
This is a fun little version of frosty that I recently found and I love it. Seriously guys.

5. That Was the Worst Christmas Ever - Sufjan Stevens
Okay, kind of a weird Christmas song, and a lot of people probably would not classify this as a Christmas song, but I do since it has Christmas in the title and it talks about presents in the song (although they are being burned in a wood stove in the song...)

Honorable Mention:
Carol of the Bells - The Bird and the Bee
Probably one of the best free downloads from itunes ever, the end

I said what I wanted to say

I am typically a very outgoing and friendly person. I love to talk to anyone and everyone and I usually say what is on my mind, which can cause problems sometimes, but it usually turns out okay. One thing I do not do, however, is tell boys how I feel about them, particularly if I like a boy. Yet on tuesday night as I found myself hanging out with one of my guy friends I found myself telling him that I liked him, to his face, when the conversation had not even led us to this topic. I guess I really don't have a filter and whatever I am thinking just kind of comes out. And surprisingly I am still alive and my life has continued. Who knew that it wouldn't be the end of the world.

I am glad I had this experience and I am still hoping for the best while expecting the worst. Oh how I love the ups and downs of life and the emotional mood swings I am blessed with.

On to other news. There are some songs that I am in love with right now. They are:

Out of My League (Steven Speaks): This song always puts me in a good, especially when I sing along with it

For the Best (Straylight Run): Thanks to my friend Jackson from work for telling me this was an amazing song, because it really is

Broken (Lifehouse): This song makes any day better. Thanks to my roommie Merrilee for letting me steal this CD

AEIOU (Charlotte Sometimes): Okay really I love any song by her but this one is particularly fantastic

Viva La Vida (Coldplay): This song puts me in a good mood anytime I listen to it.

4 Minutes (Madonna, Justin Timberlake, and Timbaland): Reminds me of dance parties with Sarah Joelle, which I can not wait until she comes back so we can have them in the room that we will be sharing.

And lastly I have rediscovered how much I love love love Mae. I never get tired of listening to their music and it reminds me of happy times in my life.

Also I wish I was going to the John Mayer concert. And I wish someone would set up this date he asked me on...
