An Ache I Still Remember

Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

Don't Want to Be Spun Around

Once burned, twice shy
Too much of your light make me blind
I'd wait all night
But you left one too many times
I want to change the orbit
Don't care what you do now
I want to live in darkness
Don't want to be spun around

You go down, down, down
I fall out of love with you
Come back round, round, round
You sun of a gun
You go down, down, down
This time I won't save you
When you drown, drown, drown
You sun of a gun
You sun of a gun

Birds sing for you
You can make the blue sky blush
You've got them all fooled
But I am burned out on this rush
I want to change the orbit
Don't care what you do now
I want to live in darkness
Don't want to be spun around

Calvin Harris is so hot that he deserves not one, but TWO blog posts.

Yes, I'm obsessed. And I don't usually get fan-ish about anyone. But this dude is great, and sexier than Rob Pattinson.

Seriously though - his new song is fucking amazing. I predict it'll be big. (TWSS).





Let's just enjoy some more photos of him....

I'm glad I was born in the 80s

I have a little bit of a crush on Calvin Harris.

He spins excellently, is 6'5" (!!), has a hot deep voice, funky style, and is, most importantly, SCOTTISH.

And just look at him.

Fucking hot.

His videos are pretty sweet, too:

I'm more than a little obsessed with his new single, "I'm Not Alone." also.

Done Moved On

I ditched my optional noon lecture to join Claire for a delicious Mexican meal today. I had a crab meat quesadilla.

Now, i have to work in a bit. And again in the morning. BUT I might have a date tomorrow night, which is exciting! With a tall 26 year old who manages an opera! We'll see what happens.

Also had a nice time having coffee with Beth last night. Her dog is adorably precious, but is a little crazy and obnoxious. It literally chewed a corner off the wall in the span of an hour that I was at her house. Oh man.

A tune for your listening pleasure:

Well It Takes a Strong Man Baby

Had a fabulous last few days:

-A much needed Monday night
-A happily drunken and random St. Pat's
-Skipping school Weds. to see Coraline

More thoughts - but they cannot all be written here! But basically - no regrets, I think the key to happiness is staying realistic (about myself and others). I used to be such an idealist, and that led to being disappointed very easily. I'm learning how to appreciate a whole person - good and bad (and this is not necessarily referring to one specific person). And how to embrace and deal with my own qualities... awkwardness, and always saying what I feel not excluded.
Also - my confidence has been mostly restored. (as opposed to how i was feeling here)

Anywho - Coraline was actually really good! Visually stimulating, creative, and a delightful story. I think my favorite character was the Russian circus dude - Mr. Bolanski? (Botonski?) ...can't recall his name.

Currently downloading some fantastic tracks:

Dananananakroyd – Black Wax (how can you NOT like a band who has that name??)
Franz Ferdinand – No You Girls
Hockey- Too Fake
The Boy Least Likely To - Faith
Calvin Harris – I’m Not Alone
Frankmusik – Better Off as Two
MSTRKRFT feat E4– Click Click
Bombay Bicycle Club – Always Like This
The Boy Least Likely To – Every Goliath Has Its David
Dutch Uncles-Steadycam

[Don't be jealous of my amazing taste]


I'd say this song will be on repeat for awhile (I have just fallen in love with it!):


(This youtube version is pretty shitty quality - but its the only one I could find)

People Living Like we Do

Christina and I enjoyed some mochas from Coffee Cartel last night which was hoppin' at 11pm on a Sunday.

Today I must, repeat MUST, get some homework done... specifically Stats problems before going to work at 4.

Still have my crazy Sat. night on my mind....dancing to techno among bonafied ravers (glowsticks & crazy arm/hand movements included) was more than entertaining. I'm sure I was more than entertaining as well by the end of the night.

Now, I'm off to do some math while rocking out to some tunes by The Sounds, Chromeo, & Calvin Harris.
