Please.

Dear you:

I know your new CD is set to release in late 2011-mid 2012.
But please.
Release it earlier.
I need more soothing from my favorite man.
Put some light back in my life.
A kiss wouldn't be too shabby either.
Love,
Your biggest fan.

Speeding.

Since no new events have happened in my life,
Here's a song.
To all of us growing up too fast.

Here's the day you hoped would never come
Don’t feed me violence, just run with me
Through rows of speeding cars
The paper cuts, the cheating lovers
The coffee’s never strong enough
I know you think it’s more than just bad luck

There, there, baby
It’s just text book stuff
It’s in the ABC of growing up
Now, now, darlin’
Oh don’t lose your head
'Cause none of us were angels
And you know I love you, yeah

Sleeping pills, no sleeping dogs lie never
Far enough away
Glistening in the cold sweat of guilt
I’ve watched you slowly winding down for years
You can’t keep on like this
Now is as bad of time as any

There, there, baby
It’s just text book stuff
It’s in the ABC of growing up
Now, now, darlin’
Oh don’t kill yourself
'Cause none of us were angels
And you know I love you, yeah

It’s okay by me
It’s okay by me
It’s okay by me
It was a long time ago

It’s okay by me
It’s okay by me
It’s okay by me
It was a long time ago

There, there, baby
It’s just text book stuff
It’s in the ABC of growing up
Now, now, darlin’
Oh don’t lose your head
'Cause none of us were angels
And you know I love you, yeah

There, there, baby
It’s just text book stuff
It’s in the ABC of growing up
Now, now, darlin’
Oh, don’t kill yourself
'Cause none of us were angels
And you know I love you, yeah

Sing.

I have never really been a fan of singing...
but BYU is changing my mind.
My first week here I went Tunnel Singing...
It's where a bunch of people gather together in the Marriott Center tunnel...
And we sing hymns for an hour.
Every Sunday night from 10-11 PM.
I originally went just because my friends were going.
But.
I love it.
The Spirit is so strong.
You can feel it in every song.
I don't do much singing there.
I just like to listen to everyone's pretty voices.
The people that I go with can all sing beautifully.
So I just sit.
And admire. :]
And occasionally chime in.
So I went again this week.
And I was not disappointed.
We had so much fun.
And the Spirit was so strong.
Again.
So.
It's becoming a weekly activity here for us.
And of course, we have to take our weekly picture. ;]

Week 1....

And Week 2. :]
As you can see, our group is growing.
We'll definitely be getting more pictures.
Every week.
Oh.
And speaking of singing...
I was inspired by tunnel singing to join ward choir.
Who knew?
We'll see how this goes.
More adventures to come....

Theme.

Dearest children, God is near you, 
Watching o'er you day and night,
 And delights to own and bless you, 
If you strive to do what's right. 
He will bless you, He will bless you, 
If you put your trust in him.


Dearest children, holy angels 
Watch your actions night and day,
 And they keep a faithful record 
Of the good and bad you say.
 Cherish virtue! Cherish virtue! 
God will bless the pure in heart.


Children, God delights to teach you 
By his Holy Spirit's voice. 
Quickly heed its holy promptings. 
Day by day you'll then rejoice.


This is now my theme song.
I love this.
It brings me such peace.
Call me a BYU nerd or something.
But I love it here.
And I love these girls. :]
