I love love. I'm a hopeless romantic. In the worst kind of way. I idealize everything. I see the world with a child-like naiveté. And it keeps getting me into trouble. I'm not sure how I made it this far with such an quixotic outlook on life.
I want to believe the world is the way I was told it was; the way we tell our children it is. I want to believe all the lies I've been told. Lies about love, hate, America, the world, people, religion, history, truth, the future, dating, justice, sex, hope, responsibility, promises, prayers, relationships, drugs, and whatever else we've been lied to about. But in particular love.
So tonight's radio broadcast is going to be about love and somethings I really love.
MUSIC
I love music. It's be a huge part of my life and I relate things to music. I love music so much that I have to limit the amount of music I am exposed to because I feel guilty for not giving my music enough love already. But I am not musical. I can't singer or play an instrument. I just love hearing music. I love lyrics best. I love lyrics that tell stories or make me feel like how I feel is articulated in an audio translation. I've got a thing for hearing voices and listening to music can heighten my sexual experience easily. Most of my closest friends and ex-lovers have been musicians or consumed by some aspect of music. It's how I categorize my memories, emotions, and hopes. It's probably a good thing that I don't have an ipod; if I had one I might
not ever pay attention to anyone or anything around me. I'd be lost in my own head for hours. I write to music and want the things that I write reflective of my love for music. I've been asking friends and lovers to make me mixed c.d.s for years. It started with Jealous Jason. I've gotten introduced to my favorite music by someone I've loved or admired. Some themes I've received over the years: angel songs, slow & mellow songs, songs sung by females, one hit wonders, love songs, sex songs, madona & michael jackson, I'm sorta crazy songs, etc. I can listen to a song with good lyrics over and over and over again. I can listen to mixed c.d.s repeatedly and go for months without changing the mix c.d. in my car stereo. Music is playing right now in the back ground. I make play lists based of my writing projects. I assign people songs, usually guys I am dating. He who is him (HWH) is assigned the song, "Blue Eyes" that I posted previously; or he's "Wish you were here" by pinkfloyd. Jealous Jason is song has been "You oughta know" by Alanis Morrisette. Bass Bob is "Her middle name is boom" by Glassjaw. "Angel" for a different ex-boyfriend because he told me that song was about heroin and since he was an ex-user (I believed him...remembering I am starry-eyed). I am not going to post a bunch of lyrics on this post, because it would just take up too much room but I'll list a few songs that I've been listening today. I love "Fidelity" by Regina Spektor and I love the video. I'd say she capture I sentiment that I often have very well and I love the color at the end of that video. I love music and lyrics (the movie and otherwise). I love the Presidents of the United States of America. I love when he sings to me while playing guitar. I'll miss that. I've thought of movie ideas based off of song lyrics. "White Wedding Dress" by boysetsfire. I love concerts. "I Need Two Girls if I can't have you". I think that's enough about how much I love music.
MOVIES
I love movies. I can't believe The Teenage Mutant Turtles is going to be a new movie. Ohmigawd! I love romantic comedies. I wish I could see more movies. It seems like I watch less movies since I've moved to L.A. I own nearly no d.v.d.s Exccpt for Amelie, American Beauty, The Story of Us, EverAfter, What Dreams may Come, and Pay it forward. I love watching little kid movies in the theatre at night when no one else is there. I love snuggling up with a guy during scary movies. I love crying at movies. I've only walked out of a movie once because I was too disturbed, in Boys Don't Cry. I love movies with life lessons. I love pornos, even though they are not movies and I don't own any. I love Jackie Chan movies. I love City of Lost Children. I love movies with great music. I love movie posters.
I should be writing right now...maybe, I'll continue this post later.

Day 3 Stylelife Challenge: Music & Lyrics
Day 3
TASK 1
Do not shower today.
I had to shower today. And it's a good thing I did because I ended up seeing two doctors today. Or better stated, two doctors ended up seeing me (naked) today. And let me just say, it's a good thing I showered. But I didn't wear make-up or put any product in my hair. And I even wear my glasses (which do nothing for my posture).
TASK 2
Do not shave today.
[SPOILER: I know it’s uncomfortable in July, but that’s the point. You’re going to be allowed to shower and shave tomorrow – so try to wait till then!]
I didn't remove a single hair, anywhere. Well, I may have pulled one tiny-little hair off of my chin but I didn't use tweezers and it was a very difficult task. And I am sure no one would have notice either way. Unless of course they saw me pull it out. But that just TMI....Lets move on to the Next task should we?....
TASK 3
Follow the vocal exercises recommended below to work on projecting your voice, speaking with confidence, and modulating your tone.
I listened to the audio and read the paper but I didn't actually have time to practice and I don't have a recorder or a mic. I should have practice something vocal today but I didn't, instead I smoked.
TASK 4
Dial a local number randomly on your telephone. When someone answers, try to get him or her to recommend a good movie to watch.
I didn't actually do this one either (the score is Ana:0; Tasks:4). I did actually make small talk about movie recommendations and talked about Music & Lyrics and Drew Berrymore with 4 girls at school. I didn't catch their eye color though.
TASK 5
Listen to the mind-shaping audio before going to sleep.
I listened to that thing non-stop from last night until I listened to the audio on improving speech/voice. I'll play it one more time but I am not going to let it play all night, like I have for the last 2 nights. If it's going to sink into my subconscious mind, it would have already sunk in. And I do think it has help a bit though.
I didn't do the posture exercise either. And I didn't really pay much attention to my posture today either.
But I did make some small talk. I could have made more but I was focusing on my school work after I was finished at the doctors office.
I asked for movie recommendations and also asked favorite Drew Berrymore movie. It was fun.
===================================================================
Music & Lyrics
I got to see the romantic comedy Music & Lyrics at school for free tonight. It was a good break from my studyin and it was free and it had Drew Berrymore in it. And I saw it a week before it opens. And I won a free movie poster for answering a trivia question.
"Which 80's pop star played the superbowl?"
"Prince" I shouted after the MC called on me. It was sorta cool because I didn't actually watch the superbowl; I was busy helping Dr. Yes shop on Melrose but we did happen to stop in at a new pub for some awesome Burgers and sweet-mashed potatoes...YUM...and the superbowl was on and I saw Prince.
I ended up asking a group of girls where the line was to get in & they informed me that tickets needed to be had to get in. Unless there was any room for standby...ha...as if it were an airplane flight. Anyhoo, I ran into the girls again and then one of them came to track me down to offer me an extra ticket...that was cool.
The movie was quaint & contrived, in the typical hollywood romantic comedy way but again I didn't really mind since I have a special interest in romantic comedies (If you didn't notice, I am a female).
