Daring to Be » Links and lyrics.

A couple of quick plugs to friends in blogosphere.

First, Lacy, whom I’ve linked to a couple of times but have never outright said “Hey! Lacy has a blog!” Anyway. Lacy has a blog! I graduated with Lacy from high school. We’ve known eachother pretty much our entire lives, ever since we rode the school bus together and played all sorts of silly games and shared a common hatred for our bus driver. Good times!

Second, Andrea, whom I met last fall when she was working at The Bay. Andrea rocks. Besides working together, we partied together once. I hope we will again! Her brand spankin’ new blog is going to be all about wine, one of my favourite things, except I do things like ask for Theresa Sokyrka’s autograph for my lovely cousin Meg after drinking over a full bottle of red by myself. That and remove my date’s belt in one quick motion while he’s driving. I believe I was challenged to? That or I challenged myself. Whatev.

That’s sort of off topic though.

Anyway! Point is, Andrea is alot of fun, and I am sure her blog will be too. She’s definitely going to come in handy for the wine tasting sessions sis and I are planning. I look forward to more great information from you, Andrea!

Now, for the lyrics part of the entry, which I got from the aforementioned blog belonging to Lacy:

Pick 6 songs. Pick a lyric from those songs. Post it in your blog. Fun AND easy. Imagine that.

“Portions for Foxes” by Rilo Kiley

And the talking leads to touching
And the touching leads to sex
And then there is no mystery left.

And it’s bad news, I don’t blame you
I do the same thing, I get lonely too.

“Cannonball” by Damien Rice

Stones taught me to fly
Love, it taught me to lie
Life, it taught me to die
So it’s not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball.

“Under My Skin” by Rachael Yamagata

Would you please get out from under my skin?
‘Cause I can’t begin this yet
And I don’t know what my intentions are
They’re speaking in a different tongue
And, deep inside, I’m not as tough as I seem
But I won’t let you know
Until it’s right, I’m gonna stay my distance
And you should go.

“Latter Days” by Over the Rhine

What a beautiful piece of heartache
This has all turned out to be
Lord knows we’ve learned the hard way
All about healthy apathy.

I use these words pretty loosely
There’s so much more to life than words.

“Lua” by Bright Eyes

I know you have a heavy heart
I can feel it when we kiss.
So many men stronger than me
have thrown their backs out trying to lift it.

“I Just Don’t Think I’ll Ever Get Over You” by Colin Hay

Your face it dances and it haunts me
Your laughter’s still ringing in my ears
I still find pieces of your presence here
Even after all these years.
But I don’t want you thinking I don’t get asked to dinner
‘Cause I’m here to say that I sometimes do.
Even though I may soon feel the touch of love
I just don’t think I’ll ever get over you.
If I lived till I was 102
I just don’t think I’ll ever get over you.

I tried to choose lyrics that at some point in my life have made me sit up and pay attention. I think I did a pretty good job, though it was hard work choosing!
