Snow Day!

So it snowed today, It was pretty amazing. Now it didn't like... SNOW. like in Chicago or anything, it flurried a bit, but it was really beautiful and a well missed sight.
I was at lunch when it happened, Hanging out with JD, Chris, Robyn, and Donna. And Robyn suddenly shouted that it was sowing, and she bolted out the door, JD (who was not having the greatest day ever) Saw the snow and bolted out the door with this huge smile on his face, and Chris and i were like... We're coming... eventually. The Canadian and the Chicagoan were less pushy to go see snow. Dylan came out of her culinary class all excited and hopping up and down, JD was running around like a madman jumping up on tables, it was pretty amazing. I eventually after about 15 minutes after the bell decided i should go to class and began heading over, where i ran into Gerda Kinsey Rae and Stephanie outside the 900 building, and i was thwarted in my efforts to go to class. Eventually the snow slowed to a stop and it just became cold and i headed inside, 45 minutes late to class, and Dr. Fish didn't care because he had sent everyone outside to play anyways. I was in an amazing mood all day. =) Still am for that fact. <3

Defying Gravity


So we were having a glee catchup marathon (Dad, Jim and I) and This song played, and i became completely enchanted with it. I'm sure you know that feeling like you know exactly what someone meant in the words they were writing and singing, and when someone sings it so perfectly, it hits you in such a way that you are just kindof stunned. this song did that to me. The lyrics hit that part of me that refuses to back down and conform to the regulations of society. The Glee version, it just slows it down just enough to work. i think it works much better as a slow song. I just love their voices and how they work together. Maybe it's silly to be talking so long on one song from a TV show. not even the original. the cover from a TV show about a glee club. I don't know, but it just resonated within me and i felt like writing. This song completely Enchanted me, I think I'm in love with a song. Well if that's love it comes at much too high a cost.

Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules
Of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes: and leap!

It's time to try
Defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I am defying gravity
And you wont bring me down!

I'm through accepting limits
cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I'll never know!
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost
Well, if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost!

I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you wont bring me down!

I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And never bring me down!
bring me down!
ohh ohhh ohhhh!
