... and a little bit for me too.
jonas brothers released their new single exclusively to members of their facebook fan group last night. the single is available tuesday may 12th for download so until then, this will have to do.
play it really loud and have a DANCE PARTY!! because dancing is good excercise and it makes you feel HAPPY!!
here are the lyrics for those who want to learn them before we drive around and listen to it in my car on repeat on tuesday (ahem chanel ahem):
i make the most of all the stress
i try to live without regret
but i m about to break a sweat
im freaking out
its like a poison in my brain
its like a fog that blurs the scene
its like a vine you cant untangle
oh i’m freaking out
everytime i turn around
something don’t feel right
i might be paranoid
i’m boarding the lines
cause they just might split
can someone stop the noise?
i don’t know what it is
but it just don’t fit
i’m paranoid yeah
i take the next stairway steps
to get some air into my chest
cant hear the thoughts inside my head
i’m still freaking out
that’s why my ex is still my ex
i never trust a word she says
i’m runnin all the background checks
and shes freaking out
everytime i turn around
somethings just not right
might be paranoid
i’m boardin the lines
cause they just might split
can someone stop the noise?
i don’t know what it is
but it just don’t fit
consider me destroyed
cause i don’t know how to act
cause i lost my head
i must be paranoid
i never thought it would come to this
i’m paranoid
stuck in the room
were staring faces ohh
i’m caught in a nightmare
i cant wake up
if you hear my cry running through her streets
i’m about to freak
come and rescue me
she might be paranoid
yeah
i’m boarding the lines cause they just might split
can someone stop the noise?
i don’t know what it is
but it just don’t fit
consider me destroyed
i don’t know how to act cause i lost
cause i lost my head
i must be paranoid
(someone else's lyrics, don't have time to edit...)
exoh,
gabrielle.

can't stop the train.
these are pretty much the only words that are appropriate for how i feel right now. i'll pretty much be listening to this song on repeat for the next... forever.
No, I'm not color blind,
I know the world is black and white.
Try to keep an open mind, but
I just can't sleep on this tonight.
Stop this train,
I wanna get off and
Go home again.
I can't take the speed it's moving in,
I know I can't.
But honestly, won't someone stop this train?
Don't know how else to say it,
Don't want to see my parents go.
One generation's length away
From fighting life out on my own.
Stop this train,
I wanna get off and
Go home again.
I can't take the speed it's moving in,
I know I can't.
But honestly, won't someone stop this train?
So scared of getting older,
I'm only good at being young.
So I play the numbers game
To find a way to say that life has just begun.
Had a talk with my old man,
Said "Help me understand"
He said "Turn sixty-eight,
You renegotiate"
"Don't stop this train,
Don't for a minute change the place you're in.
And don't think I couldn't ever understand,
I tried my hand.
John, honestly, we'll never stop this train."
Once in a while, when it's good,
It'll feel like it should.
And they're all still around,
And you're still safe and sound.
And you don't miss a thing
Till you cry when you're driving away in the dark.
Singing,
"Stop this train.
I wanna get off and
Go home again.
I can't take the speed it's moving in".
I know I can,
'Cause now I see
I'll never stop this train.
No, I'm not color blind,

OMJ
there are many things i could write about today, but i choose this. i have been doing well on my low-techno diet, which is similar to a low carb diet, in that i use my computer only a few times during the day and in small doses. i've logged on to twitter and facebook only twice today (which is good for me, by the way, so hush up) but when i logged on to twitter a moment ago i was met with a message from the jonas brothers saying that their new album cover is up. oh dear. i want to say i am ashamed to admit what i am about to admit, but if i really were that ashamed, i'd not be putting it out in the blogosphere.... my breath was quite literally taken away. ha. oh my my my. i really wasn't expecting something so... oy what's the word? i'm thinking of many, i'm just trying to decide which, if any, are appropriate. i'll go with "breezy" right now. i wasn't expecting something quite so breezy. really, i am laughing at myself right now bc i did literally gasp when i saw this which just proves that i am not old enough to have just turned 25. (somewhere in the world my mother is reading this post and shaking her head at the nonsense that is her TWENTY FIVE year old daughter. sorry, mom. i'll make it up to you someday.) so, i am very excited for june 15th which is when this gem hits shelves and i am glad i stumbled upon this photo bc it may very well have gotten me through the last two hours of my day. may i also say that i am excited for may 2nd which is the premiere of J.O.N.A.S. on the disney channel and i'm thinking of putting together a little ACE gang soiree for it. who knows, it depends on how gay i'm feeling that day.
in other my world news, i am currently loving the album "lady luck" by the amazing maria taylor, namely the song "100,00 times" which, at press time, makes my world spin round and round and round. and a quote that caught my attention today is this little gem from, urm, lord byron i believe? if not, my appologies to the lord. it goes a little something like this:
" 'tis strange-but true; for the truth is always strange."
i loved that. i also thought of this in the middle of the night when i couldn't sleep and was drowning in my own insecurities and fears and feeling very overwhelmed. so this quote is from, well, me. at three in the morning. "alot of small steps equal big steps". so that's what i'm doing right now... just taking small steps in hopes that someday i'll turn around and realize that i've gotten somewhere.
exoh.

say.
i'm having a difficult time right now deciding which of my thoughts i should say out loud and which thoughts i should leave in my head. things have been pretty crazy lately vis a vis my emotions... they have kind of been all over the place. hence, my hesitation to say what i feel when i feel it. alot of the time i don't feel the same way a few days later (sometimes even a few hours later) . i've always been a pretty emotional girl, and i quite like that about myself. i like that when i am happy, i am consumed by that happiness, that it crosses borders into other parts of my life. i also like that i have the ability to be sad, that i have the ability to identify my sadness and express it and learn from it. it seems like lately i have been filtering my thoughts a bit more and not saying as much as i usually do, which may be a good thing, i don't know. i just know that on occasion, i feel like i am going to either explode or drown. which sounds worse than it is. probably. there really is no point to this rant other than to say that i don't know what to do. for the first time in a long time i feel a bit lost. today i was going through some music and i came across a song by john mayer and i kind of hate quoting him because he tends to be a douche more often than not. but his music is actually really, really brilliant. there's a song of his called "say" that i read the lyrics to and one line in particular caught my attention. it's weird bc i don't always get inspiration from songs, but it's always really eye-opening when i do bc it's usually from songs that i've listened to a thousand times. anyways, if you get a chance you should read all of the lyrics to that song bc, even though it was written by a douche, the whole song is amazing. i'm just going to print the lyrics that stood out the most to me...
"IT'S BETTER TO SAY TOO MUCH THAN [TO] NEVER SAY WHAT YOU NEED TO SAY."
so, after a night of "dreaming" about scenarios, a few hours of deliberating and thinking, and finally after consulting my "go-to" peeps (thank you malia and trevor) i decided that it's best that i say what i need to. it's better for me anyways. i could sit here and be bothered for the next few hours/days/weeks/whatever, or i could just say what i feel and be done with it. i think relationships would be so much easier if we could all just do eachother that little courtesy. when i think of how much time i've wasted worrying and over-analyzing it makes me nuts. it's all very high school, the worrying and deciphering "guy code" and such, and it seems like such a waste of time. especially since, as much as i would like to be (ha ha), i am NOT in high school anymore. and, like (apparently) everyone else, i am busy (yes, that can be an excuse for me too, though i don't use it as one).
there are so few times that i regret saying something. in fact, off hand, i can't remember any situations where i regret speaking my mind. that's not to say that i don't remember a time where i told someone how i feel and they didn't feel the same way, bc i remember quite a few times like that. i even remember feeling embarassed about what i said. but there are so many instances that i can think of-right off the top of my head- where i held my tongue and didn't tell someone how i felt, and those are the things i regret, those are the moments that could have changed everything. i just think that it's better to say what i feel and get it out there and know for certain that someone knows what i'm feeling, no guesses on their part or mine. i gotta tell you, if someone's decision to jump ship is based on my thoughts or feelings, then it's best that they jump ship sooner rather than later.

I think that it's brainless to assume that making changes to your window's view will give a new perspective.
so, it's "winter", which in arizona means i can wear a hoodie without sweating for 27 minutes in the morning, and that the cacti now have little twinkling lights on them. it also means i am broke as a (not funny) joke, and that i am tired bc it is dark in the morning when i have to be awake. but it also means good things too, like christmas music and christmas lights and hot chocolate and time with family and scarves and hats and sweaters.
how about this... if i had a time machine, i would rewind my life five years, which means i would be in december of 2003 and working at MAC right now. it also means that i would be like 35 lbs heavier and blonde and hating myself... because that's what i did in 2003. 2003-2004 were like my worst years emotionally. so why do i want to go back? good question. because, i could let my 19 yr old self in on a little secret... it's not that bad. seriously, and it can get worse. i really really miss my friends from that time period. and i hardly see any of them anymore. am i just thinking of one in particular? probably. right now it just seems like my brain is ramen noodles, all soggy and mooshy and i just don't know what to say about where i am in life right now. i suppose i am just severely nostalgic.
i am on a quest for a hoodie that has fur in the hood part of it. i had one of these, but it was too short on me, so i am now forever looking for a longer one. I WANT ONE SO BAD! please help.
also, i would like for my eye shadow not to crease. am i reaching for the stars on that one?
i am obsessed with the following cds: lady gaga, the ting tings, the killers, britney spears, kanye west, and jsut for fun, i am jamming on some old death cab for cutie tunes. man, i love that band.
another item i am on a quest for: shoes, black with high heels. just fyi.
and i also need a mate. you know, an "other half", a player two for when i play nintendo, some cheese for my maccaroni. i feel like bridget jones: "i need a boyfriend!", but i want one, dang it. i can't help it, i just do. i've decided not to fight it any longer. i'm just going to admit that, yes, i am human and yes, i get lonely. whatcha gonna do?
i was supposed to read today but i got no reading done. minus 500 for me. now i must finish up work and head home so i can lay in bed and mope and listen to records. wa hoo.

i don't know where i am, i don't know where i've been but i know where i WANT to go...
so my computer is still at the geek doctor, i haven't even heard back from them yet (wonder if i should be concerned?) well, anyways, i still don't have my oregon pics :(
side note: it has occurred to me lately that i may be one of those people who use those emoticons... like the parenthesis smiley face. is it a parenthesis? is it a smiley? ya, i am just realizing how lame i can actually be. as if the pictures of myself weren't proof enough, folks... we now have parenthesmileys to verify my L7-ness.
anyways, not much else to say other than i am sick with a summer cold (boooooo). i'm actually just really relieved that i didn't have it in oregon b/c that would have been shasta mc nasty if i was coughing and sniffling the whole time. so very very UNsexy. although i may have sealed my UNsexiness when i wore my owl mumu to bed. it is so sad to me that something i love so much can be so shunned and not accepted by society. but like i always say, if a man can't handle me IN my mumu, he probably cannot handle me OUT of my mumu, and if that is the case, was he really a man to begin with? shouldn't that be like, stitched on a pillow or something? or at least on a bumper sticker.
that is all i have to say for now. i just finished making TEN mixes for my michael and i must send them off to oregon vair vair soon. i am pretty much the best mix maker in the whole YOU ESS of EH, no lie. do you love how i am doing all of this computer madness via my daddy's laptop? well i do. i am working from a mac and i usually work from a p.c. i know, i am ashamed. i cannot wait to get my new laptop though. then i can be back to my old self.
lateskys!
love, gabrielle.
p.s. these are pictures of my hair which i coloured and cut all by myself last week before i left for oregon. let's see how many more times i can say oregon in this blog..... OREGON!
"this is the first day of my life,
i'm glad i didn't die before i met you.
but now i don't care, i could go anywhere with you
and i'd probably be happy.
so if you want to be with me...
with these things, there's no telling,
WE'LL JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE.
but i'd rather be working for a paycheck,
than waiting to win the lottery.
besides, maybe THIS TIME IT'S DIFFERENT,
i mean i really think you'll like me."

lost time...
And a heart that grieves
Gets lost in everything.
And a heart in need
Finds hope in anything.
If it's all just luck,
It was tough enough,
And if we lost some time,
Then we'll make it up.
Let's make it up.
Gets lost in everything.
And a heart in need
Finds hope in anything.
If it's all just luck,
It was tough enough,
And if we lost some time,
Then we'll make it up.

why does aaron neville exist?
dear readers of this blog:
raise your hand if you agree with me on this one: aaron neville is a menace to society. right? his music only hurts, it doens't help anything. i don't usually have such strong feelings of hatred against aaron, but with it being the holidays and all, i am hearing alot more from him, thankyouverymuch, xm radio (NOT). his renditions of christmas songs are truly painful. so, congratulations, aaron. you are in a select group of people who can take even the most beautiful songs and turn them into pieces of pure CRAP. also in your company: niel diamond (jew), barbara streisand (jew), and the cheetah girls.
there is something to be said about a person who writes a blog to vent about aaron neville, and it's not a very flattering something. but guess what? whatever you're thinking about me or this post i already know. i obviously am home on a friday night and i am clearly vair vair bored. also to be noted, i am wearing a mumu. so, draw your own conclusions. and then put them in an envelope and mail them to yourself b/c i don't even care.
today was a rainy day, and i love those days above all others. on rainy days for some reason i always crave boneless buffalo wings from chili's which, i might add, i did NOT eat today. let's see, what did i accomplish today? uh... well clinton and i concluded that burl ives sings like a dream. and i decided what my LEAST favorite thing in the world is. i went to the 4A football state championship game at cardinal's stadium on account of my cousin TANNER'S team was playing. they lost which is tres merde, but the game was fun anyway. i sat there and played I-SPY celebrity edition with myself. i spied terrance howard selling pretzels, bilbo baggins cheering on the marauders, and sandra bullock stuck in a vicious time warp in the end zone. i am pretty sure the only person who can appreciate this game and my spies is kenneth. appologies to everyone who is NOT him and just read this paragraph.
*side note: my outfit was adorable today. i wore the cutes erin featherston top with these really cute weathered jeans and my red bcbg pumps. loved it. i also did my hair and makeup today, i felt extra ambitious.
sad moment of my life today: i purchased daughtry's cd tonight at zia records. i am telling myself it didn't count against me though, b/c it was used and i used my zia credit to get it so it didn't technically cost me anything. whatever, the bottom line is, i went to zia by myself in the rain and bought daughtry. triste. vair triste.
so i drove down scottsdale road tonight and the roads were all wet and the weather was all rainy and all of the buildings were decorated in christmas lights and everything looked so beautiful. i swear scottsdale has the most extravagant buildings and they all have the most detailed christmas lights. i was listening to my ipod, i believe it was the beatles at the time, but i just had an overwhelming sense of appreciation come over me. and in that moment i really honestly just felt like everything in my life is going to be ok. i love moments like those, they really bring me such peace, even if it is just for a few minutes. the earth looked so beautiful and fresh and clean after the rain, and my family was with me, and i had good music playing and it was just really a perfect moment. and i just started thinking about my life in its entirety, and how greatful i am for all of my blessings, no matter how insignificant they may seem. i wish that i took more time out of my day to think about my life and all of the blessings i have, i know i don't do that often enough. i think it is important to stop and think sometimes. take the long way home and use the extra time to think about my life and all of the amazing opportunities and blessings i have, all of the extraordinary people that are in my life, and also to think about what i can do for others to be an extraordinary person in their lives. often times i get too caught up in thinking about what is going wrong in my life; things that aren't going the way i had planned them to, or directing too many of my thoughts to things i do not have, or qualities that i lack. it's really quite selfish to think about myself so much, especially negatively, and it's such an unatractive quality, one i hope i don't show too often. for example, instead of complaining about the distance between NY and AZ, i should be greatful for my wonderful phone plan. besides, complaining never accomplishes anything. what good does talking about how much i hate the distance do? if i hate it so much, i should do something about it. stop talking about making changes and start making them. stop saying "when" and start saying "from now on". oh dear, this has turned in to what sounds like a new year's resolutiong or something. i really shouldn't write under the influence of nyquil. i shouldn't be allowed on the computer this late.
i'm sorry for the rant. thank you to those who read it, though. i will make you a copy of my new daughtry cd to show my gratitude.
i love you all. no really, i do.
signed, gabrielle.

so i drove down scottsdale road tonight and the roads were all wet and the weather was all rainy and all of the buildings were decorated in christmas lights and everything looked so beautiful. i swear scottsdale has the most extravagant buildings and they all have the most detailed christmas lights. i was listening to my ipod, i believe it was the beatles at the time, but i just had an overwhelming sense of appreciation come over me. and in that moment i really honestly just felt like everything in my life is going to be ok. i love moments like those, they really bring me such peace, even if it is just for a few minutes. the earth looked so beautiful and fresh and clean after the rain, and my family was with me, and i had good music playing and it was just really a perfect moment. and i just started thinking about my life in its entirety, and how greatful i am for all of my blessings, no matter how insignificant they may seem. i wish that i took more time out of my day to think about my life and all of the blessings i have, i know i don't do that often enough. i think it is important to stop and think sometimes. take the long way home and use the extra time to think about my life and all of the amazing opportunities and blessings i have, all of the extraordinary people that are in my life, and also to think about what i can do for others to be an extraordinary person in their lives. often times i get too caught up in thinking about what is going wrong in my life; things that aren't going the way i had planned them to, or directing too many of my thoughts to things i do not have, or qualities that i lack. it's really quite selfish to think about myself so much, especially negatively, and it's such an unatractive quality, one i hope i don't show too often. for example, instead of complaining about the distance between NY and AZ, i should be greatful for my wonderful phone plan. besides, complaining never accomplishes anything. what good does talking about how much i hate the distance do? if i hate it so much, i should do something about it. stop talking about making changes and start making them. stop saying "when" and start saying "from now on". oh dear, this has turned in to what sounds like a new year's resolutiong or something. i really shouldn't write under the influence of nyquil. i shouldn't be allowed on the computer this late.
i'm sorry for the rant. thank you to those who read it, though. i will make you a copy of my new daughtry cd to show my gratitude.
i love you all. no really, i do.

i gave in.
i did it. i know, right? i finally started a blog. everyone in my life has been pressuring me, i had to just cave in. it's like robbing a 7-11, you've gotta just give in, do it and get it over with, no looking back, right? too bad i don't really have a life to share with anyone, so i'm pretty much just going to be posting my thoughts on the life i wish i had. it's actually more likely that i will be posting my thoughts about film and music with a little bit of horrible celebrity gossip. for example, katie holmes got an amazing haircut which she debuted last night at the Bambi Media Awards in Dusseldorf, Germany. and it really is amazing. it's the kind of haircut i would get if i were a celebrity and i could get extensions the next day. but alas, i am not a celebrity and i don't have the option of throwing hair extensions in my hair whenever i feel like it.
so it's christmastime which makes me so happy (despite the fact that i am currently listening to gloria estefan's "christmas through your eyes" for about the ten thousandth time this week), i have almost completely finished my shopping. except for i haven't really, i've just decided what i am getting everyone, and i'm very proud of myself for completing that step. kenny's birthday is on the ninth and i got his present yesterday and i am so excited to mail it to him!! it is the most exciting present EVER!! so happy birthday to kenny on the ninth and kudos to me for an awesome present.
this officially concludes my first blog. still to come: oscar watch! with notable performances from actors and actresses (both in supporting and lead roles) this year. don't be discouraged by this blog, it is only the beginning of many and it is as sheryl crow quotes (i believe it was) rod stewart "the first blog is the worstest" or something to that effect. so, we can only go up from here.
cheers!
gabrielle.
