Today...

Posted on 12/17/2010 01:19:00 PM - by Carly Michelle In: , , ,
Today, I am at home. I'm on IV antibiotics. The cold tightens my lungs, and my back has been aching constantly.
It's the last day of school before winter break. I miss school. I'm going to do 2 weeks of school work over break. wooooo.
My friends are probably exchanging gifts right now. I told my boyfriend to pick mine up for me because I'll be seeing him over break for sure. Hopefully he remembered.
The rain has been coming down nonstop all day. I love the rain. Maybe I'll bundle up multiple layers of winter clothes and sit in it. I haven't showered today anyways...haha.
My doggie is curled up sleeping peacefully next to me. She is a perfect little oval of rusty brown hair. 
My iTunes is on shuffle. "Old Soul Song (For the New World Order)" is playing. It's by Bright Eyes.
There's hot chocolate in my pantry. I've decided I'm going to make hot chocolate with peppermint mocha coffee creamer.
Our Christmas tree is really pretty. I put the lights up myself. LED, baby.
Well, there's not much to write about. I'm off to go make my hot chocolate. Yum.

Music

Why am I blogging about music randomly?

I don't really know.
I guess it's because I am so moved, so inspired by it, that it compels me to write.

Over a year ago, my 4 gig ipod nano was running out of space. I had some money saved up, so I planned to buy myself a 16 gig ipod touch, which would allow me to listen to my heart's desire. I proposed my idea to my mom, who responded with "You ran out of space? Just take a couple hundred songs off. It's not like you listen to all 1000 songs!" (or something along those lines). I tried that, and found myself upset when I was in the mood for a song that wasn't on there. Needless to say, I bought the ipod touch. Now I have 2000 songs, haha. 

I'm an acoustic-cover fiend (as you can see by the majority of the songs on my playlist). I love alternative and am a sucker for a sick electric guitar solo. Country? Not so much. Pop? Ehh, depends on the song or artist. Rap? No.

I bought my mom and I tickets for a March concert of John Mayer. Basically, I love him. I put one of my favorite songs by him on my playlist (In Your Atmosphere).  Not the best picture, but that's him. Yes, he's politically incorrect, yes a lot of people don't like him, but his raw, stripped talent is overwhelming to me. I seriously love him.
Isn't it funny how listening to just one song---no, one PART of one song, floods you with memories? I often make the mistake of listening to the same playlist/artist/song during times I don't want to think of. For example, every time I listen to the album Death and All His Friends by Coldplay, I remember the time I was in the hospital in Feb 2009 for the first tune-up since I was an infant. By the way, I didn't listen to the album because of it's title. I listened to it because I love the songs. I'm not a melodramatic person. :)

One thing I bet you didn't know, I am constantly watching YouTube videos of people I do not know covering songs I love. (Hint hint...links).

Anyways, what was the point of this post?
I'm in a really musical mood, but unfortunately am too tired to articulate how much I adore it.

Goodnight sweet world :)

When your hope is gone,
& You can’t find any way out,
& You feel you’ve lost it all,
You say you feel the same self doubt-
I won’t fall this time;
I’m not going anywhere.
I’ll be right here by your side;
So stop me if you really care.
