Bon Noël ?

"Tis the season to be jolly, falalalalala. I love this time of year. Of course, who couldn't; making everything look festive, baking cookies, presents, snow, catchy songs... But there's also several things that bug me about the Christmas season.

One, I don't understand all the Christmas songs that involve people falling in love on Christmas Eve. For me, Christmas is about spending time with my family, and while I understand that I'm also 14 and can't drive or go to bars, I can't imagine why people would want to be out of their house on Christmas Eve, unless they lived very far away from their parents and going home is expensive and inconvenient. But I wish there were less Christmas songs about falling in love. I mean, I understand that Christmas is a magical time of year, and emotions are high, but in reality, it's not going to happen and it's kind of cruel of the media to project this image that you'll find your true love around the Christmas season.

Two, why schools can't call it "Christmas vacation," but they can have "Secret Santa" parties and sing Christmas carols for choir lessons. I think it's a little bit hypocritial of them. And really, why is it necessary to go to so much precaution to avoid "offending" people who don't celebrate Christmas. If anything, I would think that they wouldn't mind having two freebie weeks off for no special purpose. And a lot of people I know who aren't Christian celebrate Christmas. I just don't see what all the fuss is about.

Three, Minnesota winters. I love snow at first, when it's falling and it looks beautiful. But after Christmas, I would like it to disappear. It doesn't look pretty anymore; it looks like dog crap, from all the grit and dirt that defiles it. It gets bitterly cold, and it's just cold and ugly outside. My least favorite months are mid-January to March. I don't really know how it pertains to Christmas, but my weird little mind makes a connection and therefore so should yours.

Ahh well. There's more good then bad anyways. Happy Holidays, everyone.
Cheers,

Je le veux...

How long does it usually take to get over someone? Like seriously. I swear to gawd I'm over him and then I hear a song that reminds me of him and BAM!, I miss him all over again.

Some song lyrics that describe me right now:

Do you want me, like I want you? - Jewel, Standing Still

Everytime I've figured out, or found a way to live without, you come around and everything's all wrong... - Graham Colton, You Find A Way

Only dreaming that you're missing me... - Basshunter, Now You're Gone

It's always times like these when I think of you and I wonder if you ever think of me. - Vanessa Carlton, A Thousand Miles

Tonight will be the night that I will fall for you over again... - Secondhand Serenade, Fall For You

I wanna take you back, back to where we started, before the lights had changed... - Graham Colton, Take You Back

But you, you're always on my mind, it's like this all the time... - Jewel, Again and Again

One more night, I wanna be with you... - Cascada, One More Night

With you, I'd withstand all of hell to hold your hand... - Nickelback, Far Away

I'm here without you, baby, but you're still on my lonely mind. - 3 Doors Down, Here Without You

I can't hold onto you, so I guess I'll be lonely too. - Secondhand Serenade, Suppose

I'd do anything, just to hold you in my arms, try to make you laugh, somehow I can't put you in the past. - Simple Plan, I'd Do Anything

I'll do whatever it takes to turn this around. - Lifehouse, Whatever It Takes

There's a lot I will never do, some fantastic I know it's true, but not as much as my want to be with you. - Barenaked Ladies, Some Fantastic

I never thought that I had any more to give, you're pushing me so far, here I am without you. - Gavin Rossdale, Love Remains The Same

Nothing tastes as sweet as what I can't have. - Teddy Geiger, For You I Will

Tell me why you're so hard to forget, don't remind me I'm not over it. - David Archuleta, A Little Too Not Over You

Imagine me, trying too hard to put you from my mind. - Christine Daae/Emmy Rossum, Think Of Me

I also feel really weird admitting this, but I cut his name in my wrist. Which is just a little screwy. JUST A LITTLE. Great, the last thing I need is feeling super bad for A) cutting, B) liking my ex, and C) liking my ex to a point that I start cutting. Jeez. I am SO MESSED UP.

~

I don't want to like him. He needs to get the fuck out of my head, and stay out for good.

So yeah, that just about sums me up right now.

Mon profil

Okay, so I was reading my friend Andi's blog, and I realized I totally forgot a profile. Jeez. *whacks self in head*


Name: Laura Jean Henry
Year: 9. Freshie in high school, baby!
Birthday: May 26
Favorite colors: Lilac, baby blue, mint green, silver, black.
About Me:
-I have vicious mood swings. One moment I'll be happy and crazy and another moment I'll be angry and depressed.
-I would rather be blind than deaf because no sound equals no music.
-My favorite songs are those that relate to my life, or have a catchy beat. Some of my current favorites are Just Dance by Lady Gaga, La Lettre by Renan Luce (it's all in French), You Find A Way by Grahan Colton, and The Best Thing by Relient K.
-I'm one of those people who likes a song either before or after it's popular, because I don't like to listen to the radio.
-I like engineering.
-Writing is my calling, it's the only way I know to let out my emotions when people just won't listen.
-I could never be a doctor, human or animal, because I can't stand the sight of wounded animals and I despise most bodily fluids. Except blood. I find blood fascinating.
-My drawing skills are limited to heads (without a model) and still-lifes (with models).
-I compose music, but I don't think I'm that good. I'm working on a piece to one of Lauren's poems, Be My Constellation. http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2507667/1/Be_My_Constellation. I recommend her stuff, it's great.
-I adore my friends. I can't stress this enough.
-I love the French language; it's so exotic and beautiful.
-I'm fine with the way I look, but sometimes I wish I was supermodel-pretty, without the skinny, airbrushed look.
-I hate that I have so much hair. It took the professionals about an hour and a half to straighten it... and it curled up again the next day. Even getting it thinned doesn't help. I would never color it though, I like my color. It's like, butterscotch-y.
-One of my guilty pleasures is GL magazine. Another is the Backstreet Boys.
-I don't like TV... but I'll make an exception for Greek. It's a fun show.
-I talk a lot. Could you tell? :]
-I value causal chatting and normal stuff in a relationship as much as I value deep talks and physical contact. I think it's adorable when two people still flirt with each other even if they're already dating.
-I don't believe in love at first sight. I think it's a bag of bullshit.
-I'm majorly superstitious, except for the number 13.
-I can read tarot cards.
-I play piano, alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, and some acoustic guitar (but I'm not that good), and I sing.
-I would love to be in a band.
-I procrastinate like hell, and yet I'm terribly impatient. It's kind of ironic.

Wanna know more? Then message me! Or comment. Or something. :]
