Take me back to the time when you took my hand & dragged my head first, fearless

Two new videos, Mary's Song (which is okay) and Fearless (which I screwed up...). Umm once again I am still sick....3 days of antibiotics left. YAY!!! Um. So in both I recorded the singing first, then I did guitar over them. Mary's Song is okay, except the guitar is a bit off it spots. Fearless I recorded the guitar part intro without a capo and then when I actually did it I put the capo on and it is a wierd random key change. Ignore that, please? Or jsut fast forward to the last minute or so....Thanks. :) Oh yeah, and I wasn't really dressed yet when I did these...so ignore the huge ugly tee. :)

Here they are:



If you watch, you must comment. Thanks.


Okay...so here's what's being going on in Allyworld.

My family finally got here. So I spent last weekend with them. And went to Ikea with my mom twice and built furniture and etc. So much fun. I said that already though in the last post.

And we From Tuesday to yesterday I was in Boston for my bestfriend Kate's graduation. :) I'm so proud of her. She amazes me. And we had so much fun and just hung out.

And we are the greatest fans in the world. Tuesday night was the CMT fan voted award show. And Taylor was nominated for Video of the Year and voting was open until the end of the show. So we were sitting with our laptops open eating Fluff and pretzels and voting everytime we said the letter T. And she won...of course.

UMMMMMM. I'm here alone. In NY until Monday. Ethan's mom is getting married. We're both in the wedding. He left yesterday morning and I leave then. I think I'll go see the family tomorrow. But I'm excited for the wedding. I love weddings...except my own. But whatever. And I'll be there in that shithole of southern california that I love so much for a week. I'm sorry to any califorians that read this, but I hate that place.

And then we, being me and Ethan are going to Maine for the month of July and begining of August. :D Hopefully getting random fun jobs there and just spending all our free time on the beach.

AND RAIN I EFFING HATE RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It seems like it's been raining nonstop for the last two weeks. GRRR. I hate it so much. I want sun! It was sunny today but everything was wet and gross and blehhhhh.

Sorry for the long ramblingness. Bye.

I love you for giving me your eyes...

WATCH THE VIDEO IT IS SO FREAKING ADORABLE.

I'm making a photocollage video for my mom to me singing this song for mother's day with pictures of me and my brothers and sisters. Last time I made one of these it refused to upload here, but I'll try again. I'm either mailing it to her, doing it over one of our videochats or possibly seeing her in person because of certain...things. I'll got there later.

This post is about my mom. How she has always been there for me, for everyone of us. She treats us all equally, like there isn't a "prize child" and she'll try to do special things for each of us. Which is amazing that she even can because of the little ones. I'm going to tell a story that I think of everytime I hear this song, if you don't know what song it is by now becuase you are not listening/watching, it is The Best Day by Taylor Swift. Here is the story:

I must have been like 9 or 10 and I had come home from school mad because I was different than the other kids. Different in appearance: I had the body of a 6 year old, I had insane hair - much like Taylor's in the video except darker and poofer and tight little ringlets and just horrible. I need to find a picture to scan in from then to show you all, because it is so freaking funny. But what I was most bothered by was my eyes. My eyes, as a child were really light (light as in shade) greenish-blue. Really pretty, but they've got progressively more hazel mixed with brown as I've got older. I was mad because a girl, who is now one of my best friends - Kate, made fun of them because no one had those eyes. She called me a freak and an alien and honestly, looking back it is so insanely funny to me.

I think my eyes, after my hips, are my best feature and to think that I came home in tears about it becuase everyone else had one-color darker (as in shade) eyes. My mom sat me on the kitchen counter, looked me in the eyes and told me that my eyes are special. They are the eyes of my grandmother and that, out of all her grandchildren and children only 5 others have had those eyes and how she wished she had them. She told me I am lucky and that what other's think are my flaws are probably my best features. That was the moment I became proud of my nationality, my heritage.

I'm so happy to have these eyes now, so thanks you Nani for giving me your eyes. Being the grandma with the house open to me any time, letting me sneak in, and always being there. Thank you Mom, for always being there and helping me through my problems, for actually being the carrier of the great-eye gene. I love you.

Nani, my Greek grandmother, is getting pretty ill. She's really old, and her time may be coming soon. That'll be a hard one for me if it happens, so that's why I'm leaving next weekend to go to Greece with Ethan and possibly my mom and the non-school aged kidlets. I think it is pretty necessary, so I'm trying to work Nani into my video. I promise to post it if it'll let me.

Have a good week everyone, it's Saturday night and I've been laying on my couch taking a break from studying, eating HaagenDaaz with Ethan and trying to fall asleep so I can sleep in tomorrow. Finals next week are going to kill me. Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday and I am free. :) Wish me luck!

I want to feel WEIGHTLESS...

New favorite song alert. Weightless by All Time Low.

I LOVE the lyrics, but the music is too poppy for them. And that makes me upset. But whatever. I'm posting a youtube of it at the bottom. The lyrics to the song:

Manage me I'm a mess
Turn a page I'm a book half-unread
I wanna be laughed at
Laughed withJust because
I wanna feel weightlessAnd that should be enough
But I'm stuck in this fucking rut
Waiting on a second hand pick-me-up
And I'm over getting older
If I could just find the time
Then I would never let another day go by
And I'm over getting old
And maybe it's not my weekend but it's gonna be my year
And I'm so sick of watchingWhile the minutes pass
As I go nowhere And this is my reaction
To everything I fear'
Cause I've been going crazy
I don't wanna waste another minute here
Make believe that I impress
That every word by design
Turns a headI wanna feel reckless
Wanna live it up just because
I wanna feel weightless cause that would be enough
If I could just find the time
Then I would never let another day go by
And I'm over getting old
And maybe it's not my weekend but it's gonna be my year
And I'm so sick of watching
While the minutes pass
As I go nowhere
And this is my reaction
To everything I fear 'cause I've been going crazy
I don't wanna waste another minute here
This could be all I've waited for
And this could be everything
I don't wanna dream anymore
Maybe it's not my weekend
But it's gonna be my year
And I've been going crazy I'm stuck in here
Maybe it's not my weekend
But it's gonna be my year
And I'm so sick of watching while the minutes pass
As I go nowhere(Go nowhere)And this is my reaction
To everything I fear 'cause I've been going crazy
I don't wanna waste another minute here

It fits my current mood. I think I'm honestly done with the whole college thing. It was nice, a lot of work. But I'm thinking that getting a nice job would be nice. And going from there for life. It just ehhh, I'm over it. I want to be little again. I want to get out of this city. I want to do something. I want to live. Once the semester is over, something like 4 weeks. I don't really know. I lost my calender...oops! But that will be it. I'll probably end up going back.

But right now, I want to pursue myself creatively, that's including musically, artistically, writingly, and I feel that you don't need a teacher in a classroom telling you how to write or draw or make music. Its bull. Once you really know the theory, then you are good to go.

Music is always something that's been in the back of my head. I enjoy it so much, espcially making it - writing it. I want to take some time to try that out. I doubt anything major will happen, but for now I want to see how it goes.

Writing is another thing that I really love. I have one story that I put up on polyvore that I'm working on editing and adding to it and just expanding to make it readable. That will be sent to publishers someday. Hopefully by autumn. Writing music is something that I've just started but still am not sure how much I like it.

I just think I'm going to take time for myself and see where this goes. But all of this leads by to present you with my NEW blog. It'll be where my creative juices go. :)

Anyway, listen to this song, I've gone so far off topic.

Music Wednesdays

^Best part of the whole night. That's probably my favorite song that she has. It was AMAZING! I really want to go back. Unfortunatly all my pictures are disgusting. They came out all pixel-y and blurry. You can't even make out people. There is a cute one of my dress. I'll put that one up.

Cell phone pictures suck.

Anyway. I wrote another song, but can't find the paper I wrote it on....

And Rascal Flatts' new album is amazing. I've been listening to it nonstop and seriously. Its so good. Every song could be a hit. Right now, the only one that I can remember is "She'd be California" but there's so many more great ones. Posting a link.

Goodnight!

For all of you, About all of you :)

Okay, so this was completely spontaneous and I was like, "Hey, they're the ones that see the videos, so I'll write a song." I attempted to write a song. It sucks. I was laughing so hard doing the first two times and it kinda sucks. Anyway...pass the word around. Here it is. :) :) :)


Original Video - More videos at TinyPic

Before I leave...

I leave for Greece tomorrow, so excited. Finally going home. But anyay, my gift for you guys is a medly of some of the songs. It started out as three, but they refuse to upload.

However, it is youtube, so Morena sorry you can't listen/see again. Actually there's nothing much to see except for the top of the guitar, my wall, and me for like 4 seconds.

Which, by the way, I look like crap. I got up today and ran. This was after my run/gym and I look disgusting....yellowish, my hair looks crap and my eyes look huge and black...but whatever.

Also, you know I can't sing. At all. I used to sing, really greatly and I think it was in my months of not really talking at all I lost it. But its definatly coming back, so by thsi summer, maybe I'll actually get a good video up.

Oh yeah, and I laugh a lot while attempting to sing during this. So ignore that. You're welcome to laugh to, a lot. At me.



And you've all got a shout out too! I'll probably post while I'm away, but if not TTYL.

I hope your ear's don't bleed...(me playing guitar)

I have a cold so my singing isn't great. Also I haven't sang with a purpose for over a year now. And I've only been playing for about three weeks now...so i'm not great. But here it is. Comments would be lovely...I'd love opinions. I know it needs work....but I just learned it yesterday. Its only the first verse, and chorus. Its more guitar than singing....but you can hear it all going horribly.



There was actually a better attempt recorded, but I had it on voice changing and it made it all deep and the guitar sound like a really loud cackle-y bass.



Ahh...welll the video has been uploading for about three hours now. So I give up. Sorry Morena and Mom! I"ll put it on youtube tommarow. I promise!

White Horse - WATCH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Taylor Swift More CMT Music More CMT Music Videos

Thank you CMT for giving us this. Let's do the play by play.

1-love the rain
2-love the mouth close ups and how there's actually a story line
3-no heart tatoo on her foot like there usually is. i know she draws it on, but i'd like to see it.
4-love the light vs dark contrast, which equals happy and love vs sad and heartbreak, and taylor and stephen colletti (SO FREAKING HOT)
5-the friend should have been Abigail.
6-I kinda feel like she's wearing a guys sweater
7-2:33 - He's in trouble!
8-3:30 to the end. Amazing.
9-Her crying could have been more dramatic.
10-Watching it made me cry. It felt like the worst heartbreak over and over again.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I freaking love it. Its her best yet. She did so good on this. WATCH IT!!!


In other news, my sister never showed. Which pisses me off. Typical. But I said I wouldn't get my hopes up over it, and I did just a bit. And once again I am diaspointed to the extreme. When you make a promise to someone, keep it.

18 to 18..."At last, my love has come along...."

Beyonce stunned me last night. With her rendition of At Last. Here it is incase you missed it:




Beautiful. I LOVELOVELOVE Michelle's dress. Its stunning. Her hair could have been done differently/nicer though.

Umm.....yeah...nothing else after hat. I will be online around 9. I have to get things done.

I am estatic

because my classes don't start until January 20th. So I now have a month of free time, YAY!

I need to get a job though. That'll be January's goal.

So. Here's something for you all to enjoy:



Ahaha. I love these. My biggest literary love, Harry Potter, and one of my favorite shows, Southpark.
