Little Secrets - Passion Pit

"Little Secrets"

when I came down the dawn poured into me
I shook 'em up the walls came crumbling
my thin skin trembling with these salty wounds
my stolen gold inside the emperor's tomb

now painting rainbows on my ugly face
I built this cardboard neighborhood's disgrace
but I ascend and serve my feverish need
within the confines of such chemistry

let this be our little secret
no one needs to know we're feeling
higher and higher and higher
higher and higher and higher

but I feel alive, oh, I feel it in me
up and up we keep on climbing
higher and higher and higher
higher and higher and higher

my face blew up at such a casual sight
the smattered colors of ecstatic fright
the rush above me to oblivion
outlining wet sidewalks in halogen

have you ever felt so goddamn strong?
how come it takes some people so damn long
he turned to squeeze the lemon juice to rain
the citrus drawing out the scene in stains

mother, I can tell what you've been thinking
staring at the stars on your ceiling
thinking once there was a power that you were weilding
but now I've hit the mark,
stabbing at the dark
and I cannot help but ignore the people staring at my scars

Pictures for thought.

A little of everything. More.

Hello all! Happy Sunday!

I hope everyone had a fun and SAFE weekend! I know my weekend was lovely. I had many work meetings and now- a very very busy week coming up! My mother got knee surgery on Friday, and I was taking care of her all weekend, she's doing well!
Also, I had an awesome girl's night with my two best friends...and got to see my someone special on Saturday! <3 Homework was done today...of course.. And tomorrow I have an early morning band rehearsal for our concert in the evening! Go band!!

Hmm. The NHS boys swimming and diving team went to state this weekend! As far as I know (which apparently isn't very much) our divers did awesome!

More poetry and music up tomorrow, but for now, I need to sleep and get ready for a loooonnnngg Monday.

Sleep well everyone! Keep breathing!

A little of everything.

Hello beautiful people!
Thought I'd catch you all up with everything...I know it has been a while since I last posted.
WELL. I got a job teaching swimming lessons at the YMCA! It's really great! But, I still need to get a second job- to help pay for college.
Speaking of college! Over the weekend, I toured the University of Minnesota Twin Cities and Hamline University! LOVED them both!!
Hamline is small, but it has everything I am looking for...and a great program to help me get started!
U of M is also amazing! I love love LOVE the campus! It's big and urban...which is what I am looking for in a campus...but..their programs (while still great ones!) are not as established as the one I need like at Hamline.
It's cray cray.
My best friend Amber (see post about her) is going to the U of M. Which is still my first choice...
We will have to see how everything turns out!

Hmm, school is good! Not too stressful, though I am busy with tutoring and my other clubs. Plus work. So I haven't been getting much sleep...Because my writing keeps me up at night, and sometimes my mind doesn't shut up long enough to sleep. Does anyone feel like this sometimes??

This is a picture of me and my friend Carson. Carson and I are currently fighting about something so stupid and pointless it hardly makes any sense to talk about. He and I don't/didn't see eye to eye on some matters and communication was lost... I do still miss him.

This is one of my best friends, Sam Fellner. Sam is a very special girl, with a life-changing story. I'll talk more about her at a different date... She recently got a "pixie" haircut, and looks absolutely amazing! <3

That's all I really have to talk about tonight, I'll probs post some poems and quotations later, but right now I have to go do my homework and get gas in my car...

Keep breathing everyone, be safe and get some sleep! <3

Quote of the day...via Lord of the Rings.

Frodo: I can't do this, Sam.
Sam: I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.
Frodo: What are we holding onto, Sam?
Sam: That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo... and it's worth fighting for.

My person.

Hello all!

I thought I would take a moment and dedicate tonight's post to someone very special in my life. My best friend, Amber Hopfensperger.

This is her
<<< Isn't she beautiful? <3








Anyway, this girl...she has been with me through my darkest moments, and happiest hours. I owe her so much. She has never once left my side, or turned on me. She is my best friend, and "my person".

Here we are on a field trip to look at dead bodies. We wore the same outfit so we wouldn't get lost...Oh, yeah. We have like, the same style. :)

She might kill me for putting this picture on here. BUT she has THEE MOST BEAUTIFUL EYES EVA. It's cray cray. :) We do absolutely everything together. We even share a locker. Yeah.

When I got my coldplay tickets for Christmas, my parents didn't even think about asking who I would take...they knew I'd be texting her within the minute and telling her "OMG WE'RE GOING TO SEE COLDPLAY."

I do realize this post lacks format and editing, but who gives a schmallow. I'm enjoying myself. Which makes me happy....see! TAKING NOTES?? ;)



I remember one night, I was really upset. Like up all night crying. The next day, Amber showed up at my house with a huge pretty cupcake and chocolate. And we spent the day together, watching sex and the city and eating sushi. (It's our thing.)

She has a really awesome tattoo on her ankle that reads, "So whatever you do, don't let go." I was with her holding her hand the whole time while she got it. (The quotation is from the song Us against the world by Coldplay)

She plays soccer and runs, NBD.

AND. She's going to be a doctor. Like a legit med student. Yeah, she's so smart. <3 And I will be her roommate in college U of M Twin Cities!! :) We're so STOKED mannn. :)
