My Top 10 Fav Songs- October 2009

Here's my Playlist for October. I actually enjoy doing this because it shows me my mindframe for each month. Enjoy:

1. Bethany Dillon- I Am Yours
I love this song! To hear how much she has grown as a artist is amazing. The song is something that we need to remind ourselves. We are not our own. We were brought with a price and belong to God. In our everyday life we have to show that; we are representatives for the Most High.

2. Ayiesha Woods- Happy
This is a wonderful feel good song. I love it! The Lord makes us happy and we should make sure our lives are in line with His word to bring joy to Him.

3. Damita Haddon- No Looking Back
This is my anthem for my quarterlife. I leave my past in the past. I move forward and there’s no turning back and no looking back. When we start to look forward and stop looking back we move at a quicker pace into the role God has given us. The time we waste looking back and comparing or past mistakes should be spent on looking forward and thanking God for His goodness.

4. Michael Gungor- Wrap Me In Your Arms
I had the pleasure of hearing this song while I was at Elevate for worship. It is such an intimate, beautiful song. To hear it in the acoustic version is even more amazing. To ask the Lord to take you to that secret place where it’s just you and Him; in His arms fellowshipping and worshipping Him is something that you can only ask if you really want to know Him. This song blows my mind every time I hear it.

5. Shane & Shane- Everything is Different
I love Shane & Shane; I fell in love with them when I first heard “Yearn”. They have a new album (one of which I am very excited to get) and this is the first song off their album. Maybe because I am about to enter a new chapter in my life that I am gravitating towards songs that speak of it but I love this song. Everything is different and will be different for me; I speak it and I receive it, lol.

6. Room for Two- Roots Before Branches
Room for Two is a new duo that has been placed in my radar. The song can speak to anyone. You have to have roots and place or something of substance to be rooted or planted into before you can grow and begin to do what you want to do. A lot of people fail to realize that we have to be equipped before we can be called. This song speaks about that situation. Patience is a virtue.

7. Phillip LaRue- Found
Phillip LaRue from the duo LaRue has been recording solo for awhile. This song is another love song (sorry, didn’t mean to like it). I like it because I want to get to that point: that I am so lost in God’s love that I don’t ever want to be found or find my way out. So quickly we taste a bit of God’s goodness than we run the other way. God wants us to know that small taste is just merely the beginning.

8. Britt Nicole- The Lost Get Found
Britt Nicole is quickly becoming one of my favs. That is saying a lot because I am a very picky girl that likes to rock out only. The song is an eye opener. It lets us know that our light isn’t for us but it’s so those who are lost and don’t know the Lord can come to Him. You know the Bible verse: “Let your light shine before men…” Matt. 5:16. We have to show God in us 24/7 because that one time we don’t could be the one time someone is seeking Him.

9. Unfailing Love (Kelly’s Song)- Jimmy Needham
I absolutely melted when I heard this song. It spoke to the romantic in me (the one that swoons when she gets to the part of Captain Wentworth’s letter in Persuasion). It’s such a beautiful love song that not only speaks about the love between two people but the love of God and His plan for the two people. It’s a beautiful and sigh worthy song. You will get dreamy eyes while listening.

10. Switchfoot- Mess of Me
It’s Switchfoot! I don’t have to explain why they are on my favs, lol. Really, I like this song because it’s an honest song. To admit you’re a mess and you can’t fix yourself takes a lot to admit; believe me I know. To top it off Jon Foreman’s voice (insert sigh here, lol) and the amazing band that is Switchfoot= amazing!

The Reveal ...

Drum roll please ... and my work costume IS ...

A bundle of grapes!  Get it ... you make wine from grapes? 

And my costume for Pick or Treat (how cute is that name, my maiden name and also my brother and Silly's last name is Pickering - I have such a clever Silly) was ...

A trophy wife!

I put the picture with my Silly because she was SUCH a cute Swine Flu (her little wand said H1N1 on it, she ran around giving everyone the Swine Flu, ha!) and my brother was Dr. Tommy Flu (like Tamiflu the vaccine) too cute!  There were a lot of adorable costumes, I wish I had gotten more pictures!  We had a GREAT time!  Here's to the annual Pick or Treat!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!!

Have fun and BE SAFE!!!

Another Hint of My Work Costume ...

Any guesses!?!?!

The Mr. & The Mrs.

My friend Amber (of Rawlings Report, go read her blog, she's one of the strongest girls I know!) posted this little questionaire about her and her hubby on her blog AND since I'm not revealing my costumes until tomorrow (after I have pictures of both) I thought I'd give it a whirl! 

(Yes I know this doesn't look like me, I weighed 19 lbs, it was my wedding day, please don't say that it doesn't look like me or I might cry.)

Okay here goes ...

1.What are your middle names?  Ray and Wells (I know it's hard to tell, his is Ray mine is Wells)

2. How long have you been together?  Started dating my senior "and a half" year at Baylor ... dated 9 months, got engaged, married in 10 months on April 23, 2005 which puts us celebrating our 5th year this coming April.

3. How long did you know each other before you started dating?  We knew each other for 2 1/2 yrs except he had a girlfriend and I dated some of his friends ... woops.  But we had crushes on each other from the moment we met.  Smile.

4. Who asked who out?  He did ... after he found out I had a crush on him, dumped his current girlfriend, drove to the function I was at with my brother's best friend (this is starting to sound soap-operaesque) stole me from my date, got my phone number from my date to the function after the function (Island for you Baylorites) and asked me out.

5. How old are each of you?  Both 28 getting dangerously close to 29.

6. Did you go to the same school?  Sic 'em.  And yes. 

7. Are you from the same home town?  What exactly is the definition of "home town"?  He's from Flower Mound and I'm from Plano ... they're 20 minutes apart, I consider that the same-ish.

8. Who is the smartest?  Really?  He's a CPA.  I'm pretty sure he thinks in numbers.  You know how the in the Matrix the numbers float all over the place and it make some sort of code?  I'm pretty sure that's what's going on in Matt's head ...

9. Who majored in what?  Him in Business w/ a Masters in Accounting.  Me, in whatever was easiest with the least amount of homework, papers and tests, which turned out to be Communications with a minor in Public Relations.  See why he's smarter?

10. Who is the most sensitive?  Really?  I cry during Pedigree commercials.

11. Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple?  Bora Bora.  Oh to be able to do our honeymoon again.

12. Who has the worst temper?  I'd have to say him.  Probably because he's so much smarter ...

13. How many children do you want?  Depends if I end up with a litter of boys/girls after 2 and want to try for the opposite.  Otherwise, 2.

14. Who does the cooking?  If by cooking you mean driving to Subway or defrosting a frozen dinner, that would be me. 

15. Who is more social?  Me.  He's a home body.

16. Who is the neat freak?  I like everything to LOOK tidy and neat and appear clean.  He wants the baseboards and ceiling to pass the dust test and to be able to eat off the toliet seat.  That label would for sure go to him.

17. Who is the most stubborn?  I think we may be equal in that category.  I might have a little bit on him, but it's a toss up.

18. Who wakes up earlier?  Me.  Not by choice. 

19. Where was your first date?  The Texas State Fair.  We starting talking about it when he stole me from my date at Island.  I said I LOVED Fletcher's Corny Dogs and he said "ME TOO, we should totally drive to Dallas and go to the State Fair to have one!" ... he told me after we were married he'd never had a Fletcher's Corny Dog before then.  Stinker.

20. Who has the bigger family?  I have 842 cousins.  On just one side.  He has 2 aunts and uncles and a total of 3 cousins.  No wonder our holidays borderline freak him out.

21. Do you get flowers often?  I wouldn't say often but when I do he does it RIGHT. 

22. How do you spend the holidays?  Like I said, 842 cousins ... Thanksgiving we start at my aunt Kathy's house to spend with my dad's family's side, then we head to his parents house, then we head to my Mamaw's house to spend with my mom's family's side.  And then we go into food comas when we finally get home.  Christmas Eve we spend the night with my Mamaw (and my 842 cousins) then go from there to my Mamo's house (dad's mom) then to his parents house, then to my mom's house, then finally home ... just to change clothes, nap off our food coma and go to my mom's house for Christmas Dinner.  I love it (it's all I've ever known) but I think it's a bit much for Matt ... rightfully so.

23. Who is more jealous?  Ugh.  Me.  But I'm working on that.

24. How long did it take to get serious?  About a day.  We both knew from the start that we were it for each other.  Smile.

25. Who eats more?  That's a toss up.  We can both put down some food.  This comes from being the fat kid growing up.  I could give a football team a run for their money.  It's one of my endearing traits. 

26. What do you do for a living?  Matt is a CPA and works as a Manager at one of the top 5 accounting firms in the nation, I work at a Construction Company doing Contracts, Insurance and Estimating. 

27. Who's better with the computer?  I would say we are about equal.  Somehow, wherever I work, I end up being the computer whiz.  Don't ask me how this happens.  Apparently in another life I worked at Geek Squad. 

28. Who drives when you are together?  He does.  I heart his big truck.

29. What is your song?  "I Melt" by Rascal Flatts.  It was the first song we ever danced to (while I was cooking him dinner in my kitchen at "The Place" at Baylor) and it was our first dance song at our wedding.

Clean Up, Clean Up, Everybody Everywhere!

Well, today is the day we finally took the plunge.  Matt and I have been talking about getting a maid for about 6 months now, however, we couldn't find someone for the right price, or we didn't know them so there was a trust issue.  Then, last week my uncle sent out an email saying his cleaning lady needed extra work and that she was great with dogs (cue heavenly music playing in my head) and her price was GREAT.  SO sweet Maria started today.  And when I say sweet, I mean it.  She is precious and when she came in to meet me today she immediately petted (pet? pets?  I don't know the plural form of that word) Koda.  Bonus points number 1 - being sweet to my dog.  Then she has me walk her around the house and is saying things like "mop" and "cleaning the microwave" ... I'm sorry, what?  What is a mop?  Clean the microwave?  Are you an sure you're human?  Where is your spaceship.  Take me to your leader.  Bonus points number 2 - doing things I never would've thought of.  I literally can't wait to get home.  My house is going to look and smell amazing.  I have so many friends that say having a wonderful cleaning lady will change your life.  I'm excited for the Fulmers to experience that life change.  Bring on the life changes. 

I will admit I had a lot of concerns having someone I don't know come into my house.  And sadly, most of them centered around my dog, not so much the stuff in my house.  For example, Koda is curious.  And he feels the need to try and lick/eat the cleaning products which is NOT good for him.  Obviously.  Also, what if Koda somehow ran out of the house?  Without Maria noticing?  You know, because he can open doors by himself ... what?  Right.  Or what if she went to the car to get something and left the door open?  Or what if she was afraid of dogs and was mean to him?  Seriously the normal "What if some of my stuff gets taken?" never crossed my mind.  It was all "What if something happens to my dog?"  Ridiculous.  I know.  But sweet Maria (my aunt Joanie calls her Mary Poppins, maybe I will too) has put my fears at ease.  Mary Poppins will take care of Koda.     

Okay here is one more hint for my costumes ... they will both involve a picture ... here is a picture hint for what I'm going to be for my work Halloween Costume Party ...

And here is a picture hint of what I'm going to be to my brother and silly's party ...

This costume will, in a way, make Matt look as if he's dressed in costume, without even putting one on.  Can you guess?  Leave your guesses as comments, I would love to hear them!!!  Happy Halloween Eve Eve!!!

(PS - Feel free to be a follower of my blog I would LOVE to know people read it, it will make my day!!!)

Puppies Puppies Everywhere!

Hooray for lab puppies!  My brother and sister-in-love (or Silly as we call each other - Sister In Law Loves You, nerdy yes I know, but we love it!) are getting a puppy from the same place my parents got Bentley!  They pick her up next week, here is a picture of their little muffin ...

Isn't she SO cute!?!?  Makes me want another little baby for Koda.  I could just kiss that little face!  Bentley is her sister technically, since they are from the same daddy.  I guess they're half sisters :0)  Here is the most recent picture I have of sweet Bentley.  She is SUCH a punkin and her new sister Rigley has come to love her already.  They sleep and cuddle next to each other and when they play Rigley lets Bentley pull her all over the house on the tug of war rope they play with.  It's just too cute.

No I'm not choking her, I'm holding her little face.  She's just precious.  Seriously.  I want to keep her.

Now on to my new problem, which I've already solved so I guess it's technically no longer a problem.  Remember when I said my husband hates to dress up?  Well, he REALLY hates it.  I wasn't kidding, because he has decided that he doesn't want to wear a costume Friday night to my brother and Silly's Halloween party.  SO instead of being the King and Queen of Hearts like we were going to be (I was going to draw it on a poster board) I have come up with a solo idea ... which in essence ends up making him look like he's part of the costume.  Sorry, you will have to wait until I put up pictures to find out what it is!  I am going to Walmart to get some more of the costume elements today.  Here's a hint, it involves another wig.  That's all you get. 

And to close, I thought I'd post a picture of Koda the day we brought him home.  He was 10 weeks old so he looks a little bigger than the other babies, but I think he was just as cute at 10 weeks as he would have been at 6.

                                            

Isn't he a handsome boy!?!?  I think so :0)  Don't worry that this bed lasted about a month ... then it was tenderly ripped to shreds by the little angel sleeping on it.  Oh puppies.  Good luck Clay and Silly!

Two Halloween Costumes and A Little Bit of Neuroticism ...

That's right.  I have TWO Halloween costumes to wear on the same day!  And it's not even on Halloween.  First my company is having a Halloween Costume Party/Contest on Friday.  I'm not telling you what I'm going to be but I WILL give you a hint in a picture.  Here are some verbal hints, it has to do with purple and my wig MAY change to green (they have the same one in green)

My other costume will come with pictures as well, that one will involve both me AND Matt dressing up, WHICH I can tell you ... he's not exactly thrilled about ... his family didn't grow up pycho about holidays like mine did.  Ever since I can remember my mom has made HUGE deals out of holidays and birthdays hence being why I get so excited about both (and not just my own birthdays but everyone else's too!)  I have this feeling I will end up with all boys, who if they're like their dad won't be all about the holidays and celebrations either, BUT they and their poor dad are just going to have to put up with my nuttyness!  Heaven knows Matt already does! 

Onto the Neuroticism.  I have this new flouride mouthwash I have to use.  You know.  Because I have FIVE CAVITIES!?!?  Sorry.  Tangent.  Anyways I have an issue with mouthwash ... or anything else that has a "do not do this or this will happen" label on it.  For instance, the mouthwash says NOT to swallow it.  Duh, right?  Well, after reading this all I can think about is "What if I DID swallow it?"  "What would happen?" "Would it make me sick?" "Would my insides be flourided?" and then I have to mentally tell myself, the whole time, "Katie DON'T swallow the flouride mouthwash" ... ridiculous yes?  I think so ... but everytime I have to count "one one thousand, two one thousand" up until a minute has passed all the while saying "Don't swallow the mouthwash, don't swallow the mouthwash".  Yes, I'm nuts.  I'll admit it. 

Hopefully everyone got their invite to the Holiday Girl's Night Thanksgiving Partay.  If you didn't and want to come, just leave a comment (leave a comment anyway, I HEART them!) with your email address and I'll send it to you!  Hope to see you all there!  TTTW (ta ta til Wednesday)

Good Without God?

The BigAppleCoR.org has placed ads in the subways of New York City that says the following: “A Million New Yorkers are good without God……Are you?” This has really hurt my heart, but it has also opened my eyes. Who wants to be just “good” I rather be in an amazing experience with God in my life than just be “good” without Him. I don’t understand people sometimes. I was reading a series of articles on cnn.com and wikipedia about the things people are doing. SMH. I thank God for being a merciful God. There are times when I don’t want to be here anymore. I don’t want to be “good” without God. In a world of wickedness and where everyone indulges in “what feels good” why would you want to live without God? Loving without God is living without a purpose; without having that void filled. Sorry, I don’t want to be “good without God” I want to be complete and in awe with Him. Be blessed.

Raindrops on ... Well Everything.

Can I just say how much I LOVE rainy days and at the same time HATE them when they're on a Monday morning and I have to get out of bed and go to work?  It is literally torturous.  If that's not a word it is now.  And it's used to describe rainy Monday mornings.  With every crack of thunder and burst of lightening a little bit more of me actually WISHES that I was sick.  That's how bad it is, I want to be physically ill so I can stay in bed (and/or couch) all day and listen to the thunder roll and watch the lightening strike (shout out Garth).  Ever notice how this NEVER happens on a Saturday morning?  Don't get me wrong I'm thankful for gorgeous weekends, but I swear every Saturday morning it's like the bright shining lights of Heaven are coming through my windows and sheer curtains (that was my mistake) and shining ON my face ... at 7 am ... no matter which way I roll over.  I've tried putting a pillow over my head, but WHO can sleep with a pillow over their head?  I'd rather not add the suffocation factor to the brightness that is my bedroom on Saturday and sometimes Sunday mornings.  The moral of this story?  I wish I was sick.  So I could go home.  And sleep to the rain.  Ridiculous I know, especially when my poor husband has been sick all weekend.  So hopefully I didn't just jinx myself. 

Speaking of sick.  That was the theme of our weekend.  Poor Mr. Fulmer was sick with some version of sore throat/cough/achyness.  No fun.  We were planning on going to BU Homecoming but didn't think risking our friends getting sick made sense, nor risking Matt getting sicker.  So Friday and Saturday night pretty much consisted of the same thing.  Take out and Lost.  Can I TELL you how much I love me some Lost.  At at the same time WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE ON THE ISLAND!?!?!  They are NUTS!  Now mind you, we are only into the first 2 episodes of Season 3.  For all you Lost fans, Jack, Kate & Sawyer have all been captured by "The Others" (i.e. psycho creepsters who live in this "Stepford Wives" type of town).  It's pretty ridiculous how caught up I get in this show.  I gasp and put my hands over my mouth and get really mad at "The Others" ... I'm sure Matt thinks I'm a nut.  I can't help it!!!  This show has so much drama and suspense.  I now understand why all my friends were so nuts about it.  And we still have 4 full seasons to go!!!  I hope we get caught up before next season starts (which I THINK is in January?)  That's a lot of couch potato'ing between now and then.  I think I'm up for the challange ;0)

Speaking of couch potato'ing.  That is something I did NOT do yesterday.  Actually for about an hour I fell asleep while watching the Cowboy game with Matt.  I know, I know, it's against the Texan rule to sleep during your home team's football game, but I do that with all football games.  There's something about the background noise of the fans in the stadium and the announcer talking that is like a lullaby ... it lulls me right to sleep.  Football game naps are some of the best naps I take.  After I woke up from my nap I was supposed to run my 10 miles.  I had literally almost talked myself out of it, decided to put it off until today but then decided I would HATE myself if I had to do it today (which I was right, it's rainy and cold and all I want to do tonight is go home and put on PJs and hang on the couch w/ my pup)  After I finally got my rear off the couch and to the gym I turned on the TV (I was the only one there, TV all to myself) to figure out what I was going to watch for the 2 HOURS I was running, I remembered The 13 Nights of Halloween was on.  Thank the Lord for ABC Family.  Edward Sissorhands it was.  This is generally how my runs go. I start the treadmill and at about 1.7 miles I think "Oh my gosh I can't do this, I have 8.3 miles to go!  I'm stopping" ... "Yes you can Katie, keep going stop being ridiculous" ... then about mile 3 "ARE YOU JOKING you have 7 miles to go!  GET OFF THE TREADMILL" ... "What's 7 miles?  You've run that before already!" ... and then about mile 6 "You ARE going to die.  You cannot do this, if you keep going your legs will break and you will never walk again" ... "SHUT UP keep going, watch the TV" ... and then mile 8 "Okay.  This is good enough.  You didn't die.  Who really needs to hit the 10 mile mark, you should be proud to have made it this far.  Quit" ... "Seriously?  You've come this far and you're going to QUIT?  Katie, 2 miles is NOTHING" ... and then ... I'm done ... and feel great.  And that is my internal struggle.  Everytime.  It's a complete comparison to what the enemy does in your life (segway into seriousness a sec) "Katie you can't do this, and the Lord can't help you.  Don't even try and stop putting your faith there."  But if you lift your eyes to The Maker He will tell you "Child you CAN do this, you can do ALL things through Christ who strenghthens you" and then your stride gets a little bit longer, your burden gets lighter and you see, that you can do whatever it is you are trying to master, you can overcome whatever it is you are trying conquer and you have the Lord to guide and carry you the whole way through.  And on that note, I'll say goodbye on this rainy Monday and hopefully will be typing on a sunny Tuesday tomorrow!

PS - My picture is a result of my hair appt.  It may not look much different, but I THINK I'm going to go get my bangs cut a little more (who knew it was free at Toni & Guy, all you have to do is walk in!) and it's a LOT blonder :0)  And my nose looks huge for some reason ...

Update and such...

I started this blog when I was still in grad school...since then I have graduated and started the job search. I have also moved several times as I continue couch surfing until I get an income. It has been a crazy time, so I have not had time to devote to the blog. Hopefully life will stabilize soon, and I will definitely keep you posted. In the meantime, look for more entries...even if I don't get to them regularly!

Measured and Found Lacking....

I haven’t blogged for a whole month! I am sooooo sorry! I am going to keep you up to date:

This month was our 32nd Church Convention (October 11th-18th, 2009). The theme was: “Stir Up the Gifts that is Within You” from 2 Timothy 1:6. It was an awesome week! The week before was praying and then I had to prepare our church newsletter/magazine called “Endeavor” for it. I have been so busy with it that I barely had any sleep.

My birthday dinner is at the Riverview in Long Island City, Queens. The guest list started out at 30 but now might be around 17-20. I would like for it to be an intimate affair but we’ll see. While I’m on the topic of the birthday dinner, a certain someone maybe a no show. But the dinner isn’t for him, it’s for me. You don’t turn 25 everyday.


My dress!!!!!! Where do I begin? I didn’t get in contact with my dress maker so I will have to buy a dress; the problem is that I don’t see any dresses that I like! Oh woe is me! I did see this awesome dress at H&M but we’ll see.

Dance- I am so humble and blessed that the Lord has allowed me to lead the Dance Ministry at my church. The vision has grown and I will be supervising 3 dance ministries. God is so good! I went to a Praise Dance Seminar today and was so blessed! I am so excited for the next chapter.

My relationship- My relationship with God is showing me that I could be sooo much further but I am holding myself back. I have found lacking and it’s time to get to work. I realize that we as Christians are always silent while other groups shout their beliefs and lifestyles from the hilltops; it’s time to stand unashamed!
There are areas that I am lacking in but I learned in my weakness His strength is shown.


My 25th Year a.k.a My Quarterlife- I am determined to end ties, and severe things in my life that are not of God and hinder my growth. It’s time to stand and stand for all to see. I have to make sure my lifestyle echos my words. It’s a new season; there’s no turning back. Also, I am back in Bible School! I started General Bible Survey 1. It’s a lot of work!

I hope that you guys have been blessed; I apologize for such a gap in my blogging. There has been so much on my plate lately. Be blessed.

Cruise Day 2

I woke up, and before I opened my eyes I could feel the ship moving back and forth and up and down. You could hear the whoosh-whoosh of the waves hitting this shit. And I started to feel a little nauseous. Contrary to popular belief (MOM!) I wasn't hungover, I was slightly seasick.

Sitting out on the balcony in my pajamas and winter coat helped a little. Then I went downstairs for breakfast (a few tater tots) and back to my room with a Gravol to sleep it off. I woke up in the afternoon feeling a lot better for dinner.

After dinner we headed to the Safari Lounge for some "The Dating Game" action. The night before I'd promised one of the ship's activities girls that I'd do the game... so I went up and played... sober. It was a little nerve-wracking being up there answering embarassing questions in front of my entire family. I didn't get chosen (a girl with an Australian accent did) but it was ok, the guy was 18 anyway.

One of the guys that played the game after us was the one I'd met the night before and thought was kinda cute. But, they were calling him a different name. I was confused so I called him on it later. He was like "You were so drunk I didn't wanna give you a real name incase you were crazy!" I was like "Ummm we're on a ship together for 7 days and you don't think I'll figure it out?? I learned his real name, but for privacy's sake we'll refer to him as Big D.

Later that night he made out with a nasty girl from Quebec with big hair who was crazy drunk and all over both him and his brother. I couldn't really blame him. Most guys will kiss a girl that's throwing herself all over them.

Alaskan Cruise - Day Uno

This September I packed my bags (and packed them as heavy as I wanted... no plane ride!) and along with 11 members of my family and their friends boarded Royal Caribbean's Serenade of the Seas headed for Alaska.

Before I even left the harbour I picked up a guy. I was standing on the balcony looking around and a guy waved at my. I waved back and we started yelling back and forth. Then he came and met me on the ship to say "Hi" and a I gave him my number. He was kinda cute; short though.

I had a surprise for me, my sister and my cousin... super cute bear hats that my friend had knitted! Yayyy!

Leaving Vancouver was really cool, even though we left from a crappy-ass shipyard near Hasting's insted of the downtown port. I felt bad thinking that this is the first view of Vancouver the out-of-towners would see. Leaving Van the weather was cool, but sunny.

Sailing past Stanley Park and under the Lion's Gate Bridge was cool. The top of the ship comes sooo close to the bridge.

Then it was the first of many course-filled dinners. They weren't all spectacular, and the desserts were ok, but the soups were really good every night. And the best part was you could order more than one entree! I don't know how I managed to gain no weight over the course of the cruise.

That night I got LIQUORED. Starting at dinner with wine, then continuing with my good friend Vodka. I hit up the show and then the casino with the parentals. I was ripping shit up at the 3-card poker table. I think I won like 60 bucks. That's a lot for me! Usually I lose $20 while gambling and am like "Screw this!"

After that the family headed to the lounge to watch some karaoke. A few people were not bad, but most were brutal. There were these two huge fat girls from Saskatchewan that kept singing 90's pop. The worst part was that they thought they were good. We needed Simon from American Idol to pop up and trash their dreams.

Later on my cousin and I met a few guys up at the "club." Well she was chatting up a German kid named Sebastion, and I had to be wingman with his creepy friends. I suggested we go down to the solarium to get pizza.

Down there I saw two guys who looked relatively normal, one was even kinda cute, so I thought I'd chat them up a bit in hopes that the creepers would get the hint and leave. It didn't work, they just stood there for probably half an hour while I drunkenly talked to these guys. As I do while I'm drunk I try to prove how smart I am despite the blondeness, so I was telling one to ask me science questions. He asked me where the hypothalamus was (which I know) and I point to my neck where the thalamus is located. Wrong! In the brain, dumbass! Anyways even if I was acting like a drunken mess I was saying comments and cracking one of them up. They told me that their names were Blake and ___ (can't remember the other name... anyone help me out?)

Then I went to bed and passed out.

Fabulous New Blog, Change in Weekend Plans and Other Such Updates ...

I must say I LOVE LOVE LOVE my new blog look.  Fabulous K really is what her name states.  FABULOUS!  I just told her I love teal, gave her some pictures and she came up with this fantastic representation of me!  Now I want to blog even more than I did before.  Calm down Kate ... 2 posts a day, every day is a little ... obsessive.  All that is to say, SHOUT OUT to Fabulous K for fabulousing up my blog!  We will do mexican food and margs very soon to show my appreciation ;0)

Well, last night my hubs came home from his week in Orlando not feeling well.  He's got a sore throat and sounds like death, but thankfully he doesn't have a fever.  We are, however, going to go ahead and cancel our Baylor Homecoming weekend.  Good news is, there will be one next year ... and the year after ... and so on and so forth.  I wish all you bears that ARE going a fun and safe green and gold weekend.  Sic 'em Bears!

Speaking of last night ... I went to play this game, Keno with my hilarious friend Amanda (if you want to laugh your hiney off - check out her blog out, it's listed in my stalks, they're the Ventura's - another SHOUT OUT).  I had no idea what Keno was.  It is basically Bingo (hence why I yelled Kengo when I won the first time) with pictures of different cards (like from a deck of cards) and one person flips over cards in an actual deck of cards and calls out the name of the card.  You then put a bean on your card, if you have the card they called out.  Everyone brings a gift so if you win Keno then you pick a gift and then second round is for the gift stealing.  It's like White Elephant Bingo.  So, I started out like a champ, winning TWO gifts the first round.  And then we had wonderful pumpkin cake and everything in the second round was downhill from there.  I ended up having BOTH my gifts stolen.  What kind of people steal gifts from the new girl?  I mean come on ... RUDE.  I'm AM only kidding ... kind of.  :0)  We did, however have some WONDERFUL appetizers.  I brought these chive and garlic crackers which were SO good but NOT so good for the breathage.  Seriously.  I can still taste them today.  And yes I brushed my teeth.  Twice.  Also the hostess made these fantastically dangerous Candy Corn Martinis.  Most people know my obsession with Candy Corns ... and there were pumpkin pie flavored Candy Corns IN the martinis.  They were oh so yummy and ... a LITTLE ... strong.  And by a little I mean A LOT.  All in all it was super fun, the house was all Halloween themed up (which you know I loved) and I got to see sweet little Harrison who at some point, I'm going to bring a purse big enough to put him in and, when his parents are playing some version of Rock Band or Guitar Hero, steal him.  Love me some babies.

I will leave you with a picture of the martinis we had, because I always think there should be SOME sort of picture in a post ...

A deeb a deeb a deeb th-th-th-that's all folks!

OH and P.S. - ABC Family's "13 Nights of Halloween" have started!  I LOVE this special, every night they play a different "scary" kids movie.  Movies like Beetlejuice, Casper (with Christina Ricci, LOVE it!) Haunted Mansion and Hocus Pocus!  So tune in at 7pm all the way up until Halloween. - Okay now that really IS all folks!

Grrr GAGA

After having amazing tickets for the Kanye West/Lady Gaga show and having it be cancelled I was pretty disappointed. The shining light to break me out of my funk was to find out that Lady Gaga will still be touring without Kanye, but at a different venue.

Thinking that tickets go on sale this Saturday I decided to check out the Ticketmaster website to see how much they are.

I searched for the show, and it took me to the area to purchase tickets. To my surprise tickets were already on sale! I put in my info, got some tickets and went to purchase them, only to see that when I went to enter the info for my VISA they were only taking American Express. This was a surprise to me, as I've purchased countless other tickets before with it.

I called the Ticketmaster number and found out that tickets were only on sale at this point for American Express cardholders.

At this point I'm pissed. Fine, they have some sort of presale privileges, but they shouldn't let someone get 3/4 through buying tickets before discovering this. They should have a note that says this before you can order tickets, or you should have to enter a presale code like normal to even get to that point.

Not happy!

Wendy's Wedding

This summer I attended my first traditional Chinese wedding. Or any Chinese wedding, but whatever!

The ceremony was in Port Moody and I thought I was going to be late. I booked it there and it was ok because all my other girlfriends were late too. The ceremony was a little long, including the entire family going up to take puctures, but at least it was in English for the most part. We also got little appies in the lobby there and cute little pics that the bride and groom had taken in Hong Kong.

After that we headed to Milestones for some brunch. I heart Milestone's brunch. Breakfast burrito mmmm. Drinking in the afternoon mmmm mmmm. I had a bit of a buzz on. It was nice.

The reception was at Kirin seafood restaurant. And boy, was it an eye opener. Upon seeing the menu I was like "this is going to be INTERESTING." The husband of one of the ladies even went over to Quiznos since he didn't like seafood. There were things like abalone, shark fin soup, suckling pig, and endless other weird concoctions that I can't remember at this point.

The wedding favours were really cute. There were either a Chinese bride and groom cartoon keychain set, or a bride and groom as little piggies baby spoon set. A-DOR-A-BLE.

I got this pic from Google, but we had a lot of these courses. We had the top left to start, which included some yummy pork and some octopus or squid or something. We also had the one on the right of that which was really good... crab meat wrapped around a crab claw and deep fried. We had the noodles on the bottom left too which were good, and the shark fin soup, third from the right at the top.

The wedding was also different, because the bride changed outfits probably four times, and we played shower-type games at the wedding. In one all the single ladies had to hold out our hands to see if the groom could guess whose hand was his brides. He guessed wrong. In another game I won a prize... a set of little heart shaped sugar bowls.

The wedding stopped right after dinner though. No dancing, no nothing. That was kinda disappointing. I like to get my groove on at a wedding. So I went home and went to bed.

I Am SO Proud of Myself!

Well you may notice an updated look to my blog.  I decided while waiting for my ULTRA cuteness I would see what I could do on my own.  Miss Fabulous is a VERY busy girl you know and is giving me a great deal ;0) so I thought I'd go ahead and play around with it.  Nothing close to what Fabulous K could do, but I think it looks pretty darn cute for now!  There IS a lot of teal (well a version of it), anytime there is an excess of teal I am a happy girl.  I also added two nerdy countdowns on the left.  I love holidays people.  That just comes with the territory of me.  Poor Matt had to get used to this the first year we were dating, and we started dating at the beginning of holiday season ... it's a wonder he married me.  I love the holidays so much so that I start the Christmas music on October 1st and listen to it until New Year's when they take it off the air, by on air I mean on XM they have TWO Christmas channels, pretty much Heaven in my car, I literally make up excuses to go places.  "What sugar?  You need to go to the cleaners? (hate, by the way-only cause Matt takes his clothes to the cleaner in bulk, so picking it up is like carrying a 200 lb man to my car) SURE I'll go for you ... I may not be back for a few hours though ... I think there are detours that need to be taken ... several ... and road work ..."  And when they DO take it off the air (that dreaded day, oh the horror) Matt knows well enough to caudle me and tell me it's okay and there WILL, in fact, be another Christmas and more Christmas music in the coming years ... and then reminds me that I did get a full 3 months of it, which I promptly remind him was NOT enough and sink into my mini-depression for a day or two. 

Speaking of the holidays it's about that time for me to have another Holiday Girl's Night!  That's right, you guessed it, for Thanksgiving!  I'll be sending out the Evite here pretty soon, the Halloween one was a BLAST so if you'd like to come, just shoot me your email so I can make sure I put you on the Evite!  This one will be a "potluck themed" one where everyone will bring a dish.  You know.  The way our fore fathers did?  With the Indians?  And Charlie Brown?  Anyways, I will be making some sort of "adult cidery type beverage" and some sort of dish.  And then we always play a form of White Elephant.  The Halloween one was Black Cat and I used to call the Thanksgiving one Pink Turkey, but it was brought to my attention that it doesn't ... so much ... sound ... the best ... eek!  SO I'm going to change it to Yellow Turkey.  That's sort of a fall-y-ish color right?  I usually try and do it on a Thursday night so if it goes late (which last time it went til 11pm!) then everyone only has one day of work to endure before the weekend hits.  Can't wait!  Bring on the Thanksgiving Girl's Night!

Here is a pic of the loot for the Black Cat game loot ...

And here is a pic of one of my Halloween-themed dishes!  A 3-Layer Spider Web Dip!

The Thanksgiving one should be just as fun!  Last year's was a great turnout, we had a fantastic time!

Last I need help from you girls.  We are going to Homecoming this weekend.  I have no cute Baylor shirt to wear (most are unacceptable w/ holes in them, mainly for sleeping-never-to-be-seen-by-anyone-than-my-husband's-eyes types of Baylor shirts, I mean seriously, it's a wonder I don't finish them off when I'm sleeping they're so flimsy) I really don't want to buy one ... Am I going to look like a total freshman if I wear a green cute top, yellow scarf boots and possibly leggings/jeans?  I don't want to over do it, do want to look cute, and don't want to spend money on a new t-shirt.  I'd rather spend it on a yellow scarf ;0)  Okay, feedback por favor.  Thanks, 'preciate it. 

That's all for today - little less sarcastic, little more informative.  TTFN. 

When Did I Get Old?

Apparently, the older I get the more cynical and opinionated I get.  For instance, over the summer I found myself looking at girls in their cut-off-up-to-their-hiney-cheeks short shorts thinking "WHAT is wrong with her parents?  Do they KNOW she's out like that?  Where is their shot gun?  If my daughter EVER comes out of her room looking like that so help me ... " and so on and so forth.  The same thoughts apply with the plunging necklines the kids (Lord help me, did I just say "the kids"?) are wearing these days.  Seriously, where are the parents?  And do I need to call them?  I'm getting to the point where I have the urge to walk up to one of these teenage hussies, ask her to call her parents JUST so I can let them know their child is walking around looking like a hooker.  The incident that brought this to my attention was last night, on my way to run, I looked over as I was driving only to realize there was some teenage kid, with rims on his car, music blaring, leaning half way out his window, driving about the same speed as me and trying to, what can only be described as, check me out.  First off, he looked about 12.  2nd, he was this skinny white kid who so desperately wanted to be a rapper, smoking Swisher Sweets and bobbing his head at me like he expected me to smirk and do it back.  So, what do I do?  Hit the breaks and put a stop to the cruising nonsense.  He then flies on ahead with his music blaring and I slowly continue driving while thinking "What the heck was his problem?  Why was that little houligan looking at me?  Ugh, KIDS!"  Now mind you, 10 years ago, I would have been THRILLED to have some boy checking me out in the car next to me, no matter how cute, dorky, thuggy or country the guy was.  But NOW my first thought is "Are you kidding me?  QUIT IT.  And pull up your pants while you're at it!" at which point I usually flash my wedding ring and think "I'm old enough to be your mom ... which isn't true.  I am officially 80.  The fact that I EVEN do it with pop stars such as Miley Cyrus (the see through shirt to her bra and pole dance at the VMAs, are you joking?  10 years olds are watching you, put on some clothes!) solidifies that I am, in fact, 80.  Does this mean when I'm 80 I'll act like I'm 140?  I sure hope not, I'd like to have some sort of mental clarity at that age.  That is, of course, assuming I have some right now, which, on a day to day basis, is questionable.  :0)

On a completely different tangent.  I just successfully succeeded (is that repetitive?  I think so) in opening an umbrella while IN my car.  Thank goodness it was parked.  My friend at work loaned me her umbrella when I went to lunch.  For whatever reason I don't own and/or really like umbrellas.  I'm like this with several things, I don't take medicine when I don't feel well (unless forced to by a doc's prescription) I don't wear warm enough clothes when I know it's super cold and I don't use umbrellas.  I'm a "tough it out, I'd rather not bother" type of girl.  But it was pouring and I didn't want ugly hair after going to lunch today, so I thought "What the heck."  After I got back, I parked my car, barely got the door open a bit, and, at the same time, hit the "eject the umbrella" button ... while still in the car ... and it did, in fact, eject.  It also smacked me in the face, hit my front window, threw part of itself in my purse and attacked my leather seat.  Thankfully it didn't scratch anything or leave any marks, besides the mark of embarassment it left on me.  Who opens their umbrella while still INSIDE their car?!?!?  Apparently I do.  Thank goodness no one saw it.  They were all running under their umbrellas, outside of their car.  Like they're supposed to be.

Okay, that's all the craziness I have for one day.  I have no fun pictures, but I will leave you a picture of what we will be doing this weekend ...

That's right friends.  We're going to homecoming.  I think for the first time in about 3 years and I'm excited.  We're staying at Brady and Kim Williams's house and cannot WAIT for the fun in store.  Have a Wonderful Wednesday blogging world.  See you tomorrow, no doubt.

Diamonds ... Er, Uh Plastic is a Girl's Best Friend?

Obviously I have no self control.  It looks as if I will be posting daily, minus the weekends, I usually try to stay as far away from the computer as possible on the weekends, unless it's via my iPhone.

So, just got back from a dentist appt.  We joined a new dentist.  I say joined because I feel like when you go to a new doc or dentist, it's like joining a gym.  They take all the information they possibly can from you when you come in, you usually have to pay more the first time because they take extra time with the first cleaning (i.e. joining fee) and you feel really uncomfortable and akward because someone is looking in your mouth which to me is just strange, much like the way you feel when you join the gym because they ask you all sorts of personal questions "What are your fitness goals?" (Answer: To actually get to the gym) "How much do you weigh?" (Answer:  Nunya.)  "What is your goal weight?" (Answer:  See that girl over there in only a sports bra and stretchy shorts flaunting herself at every man that passes her?  Go ask her how much she weighs.  SHE is my goal weight.)  Anyways, back to our new dentist membership.  Why is it that every time I go to the dentist they discover some unknown problem that I didn't have when I was there 6 months ago?  I mean, I didn't have FIVE cavities 6 months ago, and I KNOW (do I EVER know) that I don't eat sweets much at ALL, so where did said FIVE cavities come from?  I feel like I should have at least gotten to enjoy the reason you get cavities on the front end, but again, I know I haven't.  But man if I had, it would have been with candy corns.  I love me some candy corns ... and, I digress.  So anyways, what's the deal?  Thankfully as the hygenist is scraping the ever-loving life out of my gums, teeth and skull (at least it feels like it) I got to watch a movie with headphones (blocking out the fingernails-down-the-chalkboard-like noise those cleaning tools make along with the machine that detects cavaties that sounds like a cow in labor) on the TV that was on the ceiling.  Praise the Lord for technology.  So, 2 1/2 hours later I'm told I have FIVE (sorry, but I just must keep captializing that) cavities and need to come back in 6 weeks for ANOTHER torturing ... ahem, sorry I mean cleaning ... and to have 2 of the FIVE cavities filled.  I'm sorry, did you say 6 weeks?  Did you know that's the first week of December?  Yes?  Did you also know that I have 5,000 relatives and that December is the month that has that big holiday known as Christmas?  And did you know that December is the most expensive month EVER?  Yes?  Still 6 weeks?  Great.  Just making sure.  Looks like I will be getting cavities for Christmas.  Awesome.

But, in other, more fun news, please take a look at this FUN ring I got for $1.49.  Yes, you read that right, $1.49.  Maybe buying rings for $1.49 instead of $20 will help with the FIVE cavities we have to pay for ... sorry just had to jump back on that box of soap one more time ... So, SINCE the ring was SO cute and SO cheap I, of course, got 3.  One in teal, one in green and one in black.  So, I leave you with a picture of the teal one.  I mean after all, plastic IS a girl's best friend right?  A budgeting girl with FIVE cavities best friend for SURE!

    

almost halloween

halloween, the one day that i can be as creepy as i want and not get ridiculed for it.
now i really don't have anything planed this year, but i really want an Alice costume from Alice in Wonderland. the reason is because i kind of want a maid costume, and Alice costume is baicly one but in light blue color.

Costumes are expensive and i don't want to juast use it for one halloween, so if i do end up getting this type of costume i'll probably do photoshoots with it and add to my gallery on deviantart.com. :)

Patience is a Virtue ...

• And I have little of it it seems. I THOUGHT I could wait until my blog cuteness makeover to post again, but apparently I have too much to say ;0) SO here I go again. This past weekend we had a house-full of OU fans. Sorry UT fans but Baylor (and sometimes A&M b/c we have some die-hard fan friends) is the only Texas team I really care about winning. Even if they don't. Ever. The Steeves brought their precious Noah who was really fun to see with Koda. Every time Koda would kiss him on the face he'd turn around in the same movement and smack him in the head with his tail. And every time Noah would say "Owwwwuch Koda!". Too cute.

• Saturday I ran my 5 miles. Something I do everytime I run is I plug in my headphones so I can actually hear the TV station I've tuned into, but for some reason I can't stop reading the closed captioning? The whole point of headphones is so you DON'T have to read the captions, Kate. So, while reading the captions the McDonalds commercial comes on and at the end comes the Closed Captioning translation of the jingle which, happens to be, "ba da ba ba ba" ... "ba da ba ba ba"? The poor hearing impaired have got to read this and think "what the ... ?" "ba da ba ba ba?" "Why are there babbling babies on McDonald's commercials?" or "What do sheep have to do with McDonald's hamburgers? Are they making veal-burgers now? Why are they baaa'ing about it?" This usually ends up with me giggling on the treadmill which in turn makes me look ... crazy. Oh good, something new. Not so much. Thankfully I live in my own little world where I amuse myself constantly and not as many people as I think actually realize it.

• Saturday night the hubs and I had a date night which was much needed since he left Sunday night for Orlando and won't be home until Thursday. Which, by the way, how fair is it that he's going to ORLANDO for WORK (I know the work part's not fun, but ORLANDO!?!?)??? I mean really. That is my idea of Heaven on Earth. DISNEY WORLD?!?! I literally cry upon entering (ask my roommates and/or husband) He's THAT close to Disney World and A: I'm not there to go with him, B: He's not going (which he's smart because I warned him if he got to enjoy the happiest place on Earth when I was at home at the normalest place on Earth I would NOT be the happiest WIFE on Earth ...) So, hopefully he'll bring me home a little trinket of Disney memorabilia. PS - he's staying at a hotel that is Sea World themed. There is a Shamu rubber ducky in the bathroom!  I heart Orlando.

         

• Last (because this is getting FAR too lengthy) we went to pick up our new coffee table. And by new I mean new to us, but old. It was my great grandma Pickering's Campaign Trunk. It's the coolest thing ever and I love that it's old, and vintage-esque. It looks great in our living room and, since I have no pictures to show you from the weekend (I know, shocker right?) I will leave you pictures of the new/old coffee table and Shamu rubber ducky since they are both on my iPhone. Have a fantastic week friends. I would say that this will be my last post for awhile, but like I said patience is a virtue ...  and I'm currently working on my virtuosity ... so I'll probably be posting again tomorrow if not Wednesday.  Farewell from the Fulmer Lane.

Coming Over to the Dark Side ...

Well, I've done it. I've come over to the dark side of blogging. What per say will I blog about? I have no idea ... but apparently facebook doesn't have enough characters for this character's status updates (420 characters my rear end!) so I've decided to find another outlet to get out my crazy and sometimes (smirk, sometimes) sarcastic thoughts. Plus, I've had a little nudging here and there from certain individuals ;0) So I went ahead and jumped in with both feet. I must warn you, I have no children (yet), therefore probably not much to talk about besides my fur baby, myself and MAYBE my husband if he'll let me include him in my daily banter, but I'll do my darndest to keep you entertained. At least as entertained as I keep myself. Which is pretty entertained if I do say so ...

This will be my only post for a bit ... I have a little hook up in the "blog cuteness" arena and will be waiting to start my blogmania until it's cuter ;0) For now, welcome to Life in the Fulmer Lane, I look forward to a swervy, very silly, clown-car of a ride.

Update

there has been so much happening lately, i just couldn't find the right time to do a proper update blog. it was just one thing after another, not explaining my life, but the bits and pieces that are part of my life, if that makes any sense at all.

so lately, i've actually been updating my dailybooth a lot. what is it? well it's like twitter, but with unlimited amounts of words you can type, and a picture. the main focus is on the picture of course. it's a perfect site for stalkers like me who loves looking at pictures of other people :) don't judge me!

here are some of my latest updates in that:
picture #21


picture #19


picture #18


picture #17


picture #16

ahaha i know they're random pictures, but they each have a special description that help you understand it.

For some reason, yesterday i decided to check out neopets. it's always interesting to see changes to a web site over the year. neopets seemed to got sold to nickelodeon. it has changed a lot! most maps are now flash, brand new pets and games. it's crazy! back in the day, when i played neopets, the maps were only pictures, the games were crappy, and neopets was just an excuse to satisfy my lonely life.
i used to play runescape too, but stopped once i was in highschool. i met some good friends there, and i still talk to some of them through msn or youtube. it's one of those games that you devote your life to for a few years and get good friends out of it. similar to maple story! but i never played maple story long enough to experience good friendships. going back to neopets amazed me, but also got me hooked on it again. i'm scared to go back to runescape and get hooked too, i can't risk too much time wasted on these silly but addicting games. i herd runescape has gotten a lot better and is way more fun... maybe when i finish university and have kids i'll play XD. i mean it's not like that's a big deal. when i used to play i met a lot of old people on it. of course mainly 13 year old play it currently, but that'll change. i hope. i don't want to be viewed as a pedophile.

So those are the web sites i've discovered and rediscovered lately. but what about my life offline?
well, i tried out for the robotics club and news paper team at my school. and they both rejected me due to the fact that i'm a senior. THAT! was the ONLY reason. i can't believe what the world has turned into, discrimination against old people? and it's not that i'm 60 years old or anything, the photographer they picked over me was 2 grades younger! that's not much. of course i was furious when i asked for the reason, but i can't do anything about it. their excuse was, i'll be graduating this year, so might as well let someone younger, more new take your spot so they'll be experienced when they're seniors. can you say bullshit?

but other than those 2 clubs, i've also joined the ping pong club (yes how Asian of me), the choir (though i only went once and missed all the other times for other clubs), Horizons (where i chill with the fobs and help them with socializing and learn better english), and the science investigators (where we do cool experiments like the "hydrogen" bomb). the bad thing about them is, they're on on Thursdays after school, so i have to pick between them. my favorite is Horizons so far, because all you do is socialize.

i'm also in the Environmental club, and we're thinking of making some videos to help our school notice how dirty it is around Thursday lunch time and bring more dearness. i might upload it to my youtube channel so be on the look out for that and subscribe! Also, i'm thinking of joining the anime and chess club. i know i'm very nerdy and asian :)

so i'm still looking for suitable scholarships to help my tuition next year. PEOPLE i'm in a financial need! PLEASE give me your email so i can send you an invite to lockerz and subscribe to my youtube channel. i want to become a partner so i can get some dough!

thanks,
LILY

email me at bilinchenbc@hotmail.com with your email plz :)

How have you been?

I did another cover! it's been a while. This song is called 你过得好吗 by 薛之谦.

So i know my mic really sucked... and at the end i started going all off tune. It was because i wanted to the effect that i was crying while singing it, i wanted emotion. But i guess it didn't work out that way. i'm way too lazy to go back and fix it, so i think i'll just leave it like that for now.

take a listen! :)


Download it :D
