"To worry about the ending before it starts
You have only two options
To stop or to push forward"

-Ayu (Bold & Delicious)

"It's better to eat twinkies with your friends, then broccolli alone. -Mark Norris

"Spork or Foon? Definitely Foon."-Elissa

"In my dreams bizarre things happen like doritos invade France and I'm the only one who can save the gorillas from certain doom while Scott begins a professional football career and I'm suddenly 7 feet tall but have no fingers...I need to quit eating before bed." -Debi

but they are pretty awesome... lol

"To worry about the ending before it starts
You have only two options
To stop or to push forward"

"I find nothing I want in a place like this
Which I escaped and tumbled into
I rip my feelings off my heart
And stick a smile on the mask
Please take me away from here
Before everything becomes a memory"

-Ayu (HAPPY ENDING)

"But I escaped from the reality
Escaped from all the pain
I said to myself
"I'll be my ideal self some day
Though I'm far from that now"

-Ayu (Walking Proud)

"It's so fearful to believe
What is invisible and formless
But if you can do so
Don't you feel it's wonderful?"

-Ayu (About you)

"The spring wind rolls by, it draws a far off dream.
The break in the summer clouds disappeared.
The autumn sky is painful, the winter sea is cold
The more I fall into a trance the more time passes."

-Ayu

Apparently, today is Fart Day! (don't ask lol)

and to my lovely lil kitty: "K-pppbbbt!" i hope you feel better! ^^

"Yes, I stand up again and again
If there is a wall, we can break it
Don't you think our lives have only just begun?
So long as there is a way, we can open the door"

-Ayu

my brother and i were talking about how being a Christian and being a Vegetarian are alot alike. see if you get it....

i'm in quite the somber mood right now b/c i'm listening to Ragtime. Brady gave me a copy so i can listen to it and become a believer lol i like it so far... but we could never do it... i really like the song Crime of a Century lol

anyho, tomorrow is Wednesday. another day.

but i'm planning the Chamber Choir Girls' Sleepover w/ Mary Lauren and that is very exciting to me! ^^

"It's always so simple I could cry, but I want to smile."

-Ayu (Poker Face)

someone in my Ayu forum had this on their thingy and i think- no i don't think- i know itz cool! lol

so... Mama G had a talk with us about Cats and the other musicals she is thinkin about choosing... lol it was... very interesting... some ppl (like Jesse) are totally set on NO CATS. while others (like Marie) are gung-ho for Cats. But myself, I'm on the fence about the whole thing! I mean, i don't really really want to do cats but if we do, i'll give it my best and have a blast doing it! but if we don't and we do something else (like West Side Story or *prays for* Jekyll and Hyde) then I'll give it my all and have fun w/ it too! anyho... what i'm saying is it'll be alright and fun and awesome no matter what we do! ^^

and Ayu's new single cover is:

awesome isn't it??? ^^ again, to check out her new songs, go to her official web site: www.avexnet.or.jp/ayu

Here are the lyrics of the preview of the song:

Chorus: BOLD & DELICIOUS
Ayumi : Damatte mitenai de tachiagatte misete (Don't stay silent and watch, Stand up and show me)
Chorus: BOLD & DELICIOUS
Ayumi : Wow
Chorus: Sou jiyuu ni natte! (Yeah, be free!)
Ayumi : Natte! (Be free!)
Chorus: Motto koe wo agete! (Raise your voice higher!)
Ayumi : Agete! (Raise it!)
Chorus: Watashi ni hibikasete! (Let me hear it!)
Ayumi : Hibikasete! (Let me hear it!)
Chorus & Ayumi: Koko ni iru n'da tte! ("I'm right here!")

and here are the lyrics so far for Pride:

Hito ga moshi nai mono bakari wo (If people are creatures that wish)
Negau ikimono da to shitara (Only for what they don't have)
Aa Boku tachi ga hontou ni hoshii mono wa (Oh, what in the world is it)
Ittai nan darou? (That we really want?)

i'm in awe of her coolness! ^^

me and Jackie went and saw Cross Stage Right: Die! at Blackman and it was pretty good. but before, when we were talking about what to do, we decided to call Richard to see if he wanted to hang out and we left this amazing message on his answering machine! >.< and we didn't leave our names so I wonder what he's gonna think. lol oh and *bum ba da dum!* if you go to Ayu's official site (www.avexnet.or.jp/ayu) there is a picture of her new single's cover and a preview of one of her new songs (Bold & Delicious). I am so excited about her new releases! >.< ya kno who I miss? Brady. He went to visit his brother in Knoxville this weekend... -_- but me and Jackie had fun yesterday! ^^

check this out: Raye I Will Survive (courtesy of Jackie and Ms. Paula ^^)

so, now I've gotten into this really cool Japanese singer guy. He's awesome. His name is Gackt and here he is:

cool guitar huh? he also knows how to play the tuba, horn, piano, bass, drums and a number of other instuments... I'm gonna order his new CD DIABOLOS ^^

So I was picking up my brother from Big Apple Bagel this morning and I hit the curb >.< turning in the parking lot. When my brother got in, he was like "i hear a hissing noise" and i was like "Crap!" to make a long story short, by the time we get to school, Margery's front right tire is as flat as a pancake!!! my brother thinks itz hilarious but i feel sorry for Margery... She looks so helpless and retarded.... I just kept saying "God, whatever your will is w/ all this, i'm rollin' w/ the puches..." but my dad is gonna come by while I'm in school and fix it. I'm lucky to have such an awesome Daddy! ^^

"The gap between idealism and reality
Is so very cutting
And as we cannot cut them off, they are opening up.

In this place, will we give up?
Or will we persevere and do our very best?"

-Ayu

all of them are the same girl= Ayu!

ya know what sux...? what makes my heart hurt? We couldn't get tickets to Wicked... *tear*

but o well...

Thank God tomorrow is Friday!! ^^ 16 days til my birthday! w00t! ^^

"Even in my age now, I'm the same as before
As timid as before
I only learn how to pretend to be strong"

-Ayu (No Way to Say)

this song has been hitting me alot lately... http://ayumi.primenova.com/lyrics/nowaytosay.htm

and here is my pathetic atempt at a Phusebox picture thingy like other ppl... don't make fun of me...

My highlights of today:

-getting a free waffle at Waffle House w/ Elissa this morning

-using my funny line in our percussion ensemble performance "I'm so stressed out! I think we're gonna do Cats in choir!!" lol

-my voice lesson w/ Donna Shaerron ^^ i love her!!!

-dancing and singing w/ my mom around the kitchen

"No matter what loneliness comes,
no matter what pain you feel,
you mustn't close your eyes to it.
Because even if you lose all your
words, even if you say it doesn't matter,
if you stumble
it will be there to help you up.
That's what kind of thing it is."

-Ayu (Surreal)

"The moment I say something
Everything may slip down through my fingers like sands
And I only wait the time passing by so calmly"

-Ayu

yeah, i went to Belmont Saturday morning for a "preview day" to learn about the school and check out the campus and stuff... i kinda really wanna go there but i don't kno if i can afford it, let alone get in!>.< i'm gonna check out MTSU too but bleah.... -_- i'd rather go to Belmont at the moment.... i even got a Belmont School of Music shirt while i was there and i carry my lil Belmont packet w/ me everywhere lol i'm such an over obsessed nerd ^^ well, leave remarks! ciao!

"you walk on waves

you run with clouds

you paint the sky for me to see

your majesty, your majesty

is why I sing!

This is a love song to you"

Jordan and I sang this song @ church in the service and it went really well... i hope that ppl felt it the way i did when i was singing...

So, itz down to Cats.... we're prolly gonna do Cats! >.< can you believe it? i mean, it'll prolly look good on ur resume that you were in Cats but Cats! or... there a very small likeliness that we'll do Miss Saigon. at least, i hope we will *keeps fingers crossed*

"Beginnings come at random,
but endings always have a reason."
-Ayu (M)

just got back from worship band practice which went well...

tomorrow is Friday! yay! we (Chamber Choir) sing @ the game tomorrow nite! w00t! ^^

"Don't go out looking for fun;
you should just enjoy the here and now."

-Ayu (girlish)
