Old vs New
I have been helping my grandmother move this week. Something I am not so happy about because let's face it. I am Lazy and I woulod probably rather be doing a million other things than lifting suitcases and rifling through old pots and pans. But I ended up finding some of the coolest stuff ever yesterday. I ended up finding my great-grandmothers suitcase that had all of her clothes from the 40's and 50's in it. It was filled with some of the most beautiful dresses and hats. OMG the hats are amazing. So I made the decision to keep the suitcase and all that was inside. It's funny because my great-grandmum was probably a size 2 or 4. She was basically a twig. But she was a classy lady. I think she died when I was 2 or so. So I never properly met her.
My grandmum was also showing me a bunch of her old pictures and I even got to see one of her first boyfriend. The pictures were so bizarre. They were from what seems the 1920's(my grandmum is 96) because of the hair styles and clothing. I love that one of the guys had a cigar and dressed similar as Al Capone. I'll have to upload some of the photos sometime.

Down South
I'm back in the south.

My trip to Georgia was well... very eventful. I'm a a horrible driver and the 10 hours on the road proved to be a great challenge for me. The first problem I had was in Kentucky. I stopped at a gas station and when i was done pumping i realized I locked my keys in the car. It took me about an hour to get someone to help me break into my car. Finally I was back on the road.
The second problem hit me in Nashville. I lost my way and ended up going through Nashville twice, I lost about 45 mins.

Now I am home with the Family. I still have all my bags in my car because my lazy butt is way too tired to even think about unpacking. My first meal was sooo good. I have been eating Ramen noodles since September so I was totally excited to see the pork loin in the oven.

I think Hocus Pocus is the best halloween movie ever!

Brass buttons on your coat hold the cold
The only thing I hate about going into the city is seeing the homeless. It's not that I hate the homeless. It's just that I always feel so bad for them that I am in a horrible mood every time we cross paths. For some reason I am terrified to look at them.... Part of that is because I was cursed out by a man when I was fifteen when I was in New York City. The man was asking for spare change and I only had a granola bar and he looked like he hadn't eaten in awhile so I gave him my bar. He apparently only wanted cash and sure as hell told me. But usually when I'm talking to someone I always look them in the eye and when I went to give the man some spare change today I couldn't look at him. It's not that I think I am better than them at all. hell no i don't. it's just that I can't understand how they got to be where they are and if things might have been different for me I could be in their place. It scares the shit out of me.

This is how I feel right now......

i am heaven sent,
don't you dare forget.
i am all you've ever wanted,
what all the other boys all promised.
sorry i told. i just needed you to know.
i think in decimals and dollars.
i am the cause to all your problems,
shelter from cold. we are never alone.
coordinate brain and mouth.
then ask me whats it like to have
myself so figured out.
i wish i knew..

i hope this song starts a craze.
the kind of song that ignites the airwaves.
the kind of song that makes people glad
to be where they are,
with whoever they're there with.
this is war.
every line is about,
who i don't wanna write about anymore.
hope you come down with something
they can't diagnose, don't have the cure for.
holding on to your grudge.
oh its so hard to have someone to love.
and keeping quiet is hard.
cuz you cant keep a secret
if it never was a secret to start.
at least pretend you didn't wanna get caught..

we're concentrating on falling apart.
we were contenders, we're throwing the fight
but i just wanna believe

Oh, we're so controversial.
we are entirely smooth.
we admit to the truth,
we are the best at what we do.
and these are the words you wish you wrote down.
this is the way you wish your voice sounds,
handsome and smart.
oh my tongue's the only muscle on my body
that works harder than my heart.
and its all from watching tv,
and from speeding up my breathing.
wouldnt stop if i could.
oh it hurts to be this good.
you're holding on to your grudge.
oh it hurts to always have to be honest
with the one that you love.
so let it go..

this is the grace that only we can bestow.
this is the price you pay for loss of control.
this is the break in the bend,
this is the closest of calls.
this is the reason your alone,
this is the rise and the fall.
