A Silly Summary of Today

Today I went to my Drama teacher's house to film with a few other students.  Our teacher bought us Chinese for lunch, which brought back last year's Drama memories of eating low mein.  We got a few shots in and it was looking really good, and then the camera broke.  So while we waited for my teacher to figure out what was wrong with it, we played Zip-Zap-Zop for about 10 seconds, Who-Sir-Me-Sir for about 5 seconds, and Ninja for a minute or two.

I thought it'd be a perfect opportunity to practice my ukulele, which I had brought along, so I pulled it out.  It got passed around so everyone could try it out and then I went back to practicing.  Currently, I'm practicing how to strum, the major chords, and two songs.  One of them is "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and the other is "Brown Eyed Girl".  As of now, I can play most of the chords for the songs, but unfortunately I have no clue of the strumming pattern for them.  I got it last Sunday as a present, so I'm a brand new beginner. haha

Well the Drama camera was broken pretty bad, so the shoot was called off.  We took the others home and my brother and I drove around town with our Drama teacher taking care of a few things.  During this time, I was exposed to lots of "classic" music.  Not classical, classic, which means old school stuff which sounds pretty good when you get used to it.

We got home and I worked on my Russian.  I am going to Ukraine this summer, so I thought it'd be a good idea to catch up.  I had planned to work on some history too, but that didn't happen.  I ate two chocolates and now I need to eat dinner.  I think I'll bathe my cat next.

You Save Me

I don't know if this is some funky lovesick lonely typical girl feeling or if this is how I feel about God, but I was listening to this ong today and thought I'd post it:




Every now and then I get a little lost
My strings all get tangled, my wires all get crossed
Every now and then I'm right up on the edge
Dangling my toes out over the ledge
I just thank God you're here

'Cause when I'm a bullet shot out of a gun
'Cause when I'm a firecracker comin' undone
Or when I'm a fugitive ready to run, all wild-eyed and crazy
No matter where my reckless soul takes me
Baby you save me

It's hard lovin' a [woman] that's got a gypsy soul
I don't know how you do it, I'm not sure how you know
The perfect thing to say to save me from myself
You're the angel that believes in me like nobody else
And I thank God you do

'Cause when I'm a bullet shot out of a gun
When I'm a firecracker coming undone
When I'm a fugitive ready to run, all wild-eyed and crazy
No matter where my reckless soul takes me
Baby you save me

I know I don't tell you nearly enough
That I couldn't live one day without your love

When I'm a ship tossed around on the waves
Up on a highwire that's ready to break
When I've had just about all I can take
Baby you, baby you save me

When I'm a bullet shot out of a gun
When I'm a firecracker coming undone
When I'm a fugitive ready to run, all wild-eyed and crazy
No matter where my reckless soul takes me
Baby you save me
