I thought I'd share the lyrics....you should listen to it on youtube. :)
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
And you can't pull me down...
I'm through accepting limits
'Cuz 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 have 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
And you can't pull me down...
Think of what we could do - together.
I'm Limited
Together we're unlimited
Together we'll be the greatest team
There's ever been,
Dreams the way we planned 'em
If we work in tandem
There's no fight we cannot win
Just you and I
Defying gravity
With you and I
Defying gravity

Why do adults feel like lying to someone won't hurt their feelings?
Why do people make judgments about you without really knowing you? Just assuming things?
Why do people compartmentalize their friends (you're a friend I can call you in this situation...but not this one)
Why do people have to make up excuses instead of just telling you what they're thinking/feeling/wanting?
Why do people feel like they have a right to tell you how to feel and when to feel it?
and in light of these...
How do you know when someone is your friend, or is just pretending to be nice to you?
And why would they do that?

What Your Home Says About You Hmmm....I don't know if I agree with this one. |
 You don't come across as very intellectual or serious. You seem like a bit of a goofball. You have amazing hygiene, and it shows. You are sparkling clean! You are a very domestic person. You enjoy decorating, cooking, and making things homey. You are not a very nurturing person. You have enough trouble taking care of yourself. You feel settled in your life. You have enough time to focus on little details. You are a very self sufficient person. You can get along well without much help. Your friends see you as honest, humble, and responsible. |
 I tashte like Alcohol.Heh. Heh. I taste like beer. I like beer. Buy me a beer. I'm not drunk, I can drink plenty without... What was I saying? Beer. What Flavour Are You? |
Interesting since I can't have beer (though I did have a gluten free beer yesterday - Redbridge..and it was yummy!).
And it says that if I wasn't alcohol, I'd be vanilla.
 I am Vanilla Flavoured.I am one of the most popular flavours in the world. Subtle and smooth, I go reasonably with anyone, and rarely do anything to offend. I can be expected to be blending in in society. What Flavour Are You? |
Which is interesting, since I always seem to unwittingly offend. But I love vanilla. :)
It was crazy and full of errors and absolutely amazing!

Your result for Howard Gardner's Eight Types of Intelligence Test...
Spatial
"This area has to do with vision and spatial judgment. People with strong visual-spatial intelligence are typically very good at visualizing and mentally manipulating objects. They have a strong visual memory and are often artistically inclined. Those with visual-spatial intelligence also generally have a very good sense of direction and may also have very good hand-eye coordination, although this is normally seen as a characteristic of the bodily-kinesthetic intelligence.
Careers which suit those with this intelligence include artists, engineers, and architects." (Wikipedia)

But, I just checked my email, and there was an email from an Aunt....she found a wonderful picture of my Grandfather....and gosh...I miss him so much.
And then there was an email from one of my former coworker teachers. One of my former students just died in a car accident.
And then, in the regular mail (which I just opened this morning) was a card from my biological father with a check...which was wonderful. But he couldn't even fill out the check...it was in my aunt's handwriting...and I could barely read what he wrote on the card. I invited him to the wedding....but he said he can't come because he's really sick...they found a bunch of tumors in his liver and it's not looking good. And he's had liver issues before...but I guess I just thought he was going to get better. But seeing now, that he can barely even write...I know that's not true. And I know liver cancer is quick. And I just called him....and he always screens his calls but when I start leaving a message, he picks up. But he didn't.
And I have so much to do today. But all I can do is cry.
Your result for What Your Taste in Art Says About You Test...
Balanced, Secure, and Realistic.
Impressionism is a movement in French painting, sometimes called optical realism because of its almost scientific interest in the actual visual experience and effect of light and movement on appearance of objects. Impressionist paintings are balanced, use colored shadows, use pure color, broken brushstrokes, thick paint, and scenes from everyday life or nature.
People that like Impressionist paintings may not alway be what is deemed socially acceptable. They tend to move on their own path without always worrying that it may be offensive to others. They value friendships but because they also value honesty tend to have a few really good friends. They do not, however, like people that are rude and do not appreciate the ideas of others. They are secure enough in themselves that they can listen to the ideas of other people without it affecting their own final decisions. The world for them is not black and white but more in shades of grey and muted colors. They like things to be aestically pleasing, not stark and sharp. There are many ways to view things, and the impresssionist personality views the world from many different aspects. They enjoy life and try to keep a realistic viewpoint of things, but are not very open to new experiences. If they are content in their live they will be more than likely pleased to keep things just the way they are.

So...I'm feeling really bad...and I'm not sure if it's Mark's mom's fault or mine...so I'm asking you.
I ordered (and received) our wedding announcements. Mark and I both have huge families...and since we're only having a tiny wedding, we're sending announcements to everyone else (mailing them on our wedding day).
A couple weeks ago I asked my Mark's sister Colleen for addresses for his side of the family..the important people I should send them too... I send notes all the time to my family, so I have our addresses... and he's not much of a mailer so didn't have any. She said she'd email them to me...but didn't. (btw..we're great friends). She just found out she's pregnant...and she's been really busy with school (as a teacher)...so I figured...no big deal.
So, talking to Mark's mom today I asked again for the addresses...and she was like "oh...I think I've told everyone that needs to know." But I told her that I had already received them..and would like to send them out like I'm sending them to my family (who's definitely expecting them...they're super common in our family). And she says, "I'll try...but with everything else going on, it might take a while."
She asked me if I was putting a wedding picture in...and I said "no...since we're mailing them on the wedding day, we won't have pictures yet." And she told me about a cousin who got married in hawaii and sent wedding pictures out with their announcements. And I told her that since we're getting married at the end of October, I figured our wedding picture would be part of our christmas card. But, she said she'd "try."
So, later, I talked to Mark....and she said that my FMIL was adamantly against sending me the addresses because it was "asking for presents" and a lot of her side of the family didn't have the money to send presents.
And now I'm really conflicted...because I thought we were just announcing our wedding...not asking for presents. I know people feel like if they get an invitation, they should send a present...but we didn't even register...not expecting people to gift us. After all, we've been living together for a year, and have bought (and filled) a 4 bedroom house. I think we're pretty good. it's not like I'm just starting out here.
But what do you think? Is sending out announcements asking for gifts? I think I'm not "conflicted" as much offended...that she would think that's my motive.
And here...I was taking it as a "here's our address...since I forgot to send out change of address cards...and when you see us at a family function together with my son from my previous marriage...yes, we're married and raising him together." That's basically what my announcements say....but using different wording. :)
