So... I follow Taylor Swift on twitter... (Yes, it's true) and she posted a link to a youtube video where a guy is covering "Love Story" but from Romeo's perspective and it's amazing! I LOVED it! So I decided to share it so you could all love it too!

Between The Lines
I'm in a contemplative mood... yet again. It may be the fact that I'm homeless this week and I've been sleeping on a couch at Aubs apartment ( Aubs, Dee, Shali and Alaina, you guys are my heroes! Thank you SO much for letting me intrude on your place for a week!) or it could be that this week has been extremely slow at work so I've had nothing but down time to think, over-analyze and do all those things that girls do with their complicated brains while they are sitting alone!
Let's re-cap some things that have been happening lately:
-My 21st birthday was on the 9th!! Yay! You know, birthdays are less fun as you get older I've noticed but my family always seems to make it an amazing day for me! My roommate Kourtney, who I love dearly came down to have dinner with my family that day and it meant the world to me! And of course, getting the "Alias 2" samsung cell phone from my parents was a total plus! If you don't know what it is, you should look it up! It's super awesome!
-Moved out of my Crestwood apartment. So April and I had signed a fall/winter contract there but when Kimmy and Kourtney couldn't get one, they found a place where all 4 of us could move in! I've lived away from home for about 3 years now and these are the best roommates I've ever had! I love these girls SO much. The apartment they found is actually cuter and cheaper than Crestwood so after carefully weighing the Pro's and Con's, April and I decided to sell our contracts. We had to be out by the 15th of August and we can't move into Branbury until the 24th so we're all pretty much bummin out of our cars during this time!
-Started liking a boy, as you can tell from all the song lyrics that have been running through my head. Things didn't go as smoothly with him as I had hoped they would. I don't know why I let myself like someone so much, so quickly. It's frustrating to no end. As hard as I try to lock it up, somehow my heart always ends up on my sleeve and is completely available to the world to get beat up. So this boy is gone for a couple weeks and my dear cousin Amy, in a round about way, introduced me to another great guy! We went on a date last night and he was really cool. Good looking, hilarious, smart, very kind... So we'll see what happens there.
-I decided that I'm going to take online classes from UVU for this semester. I still don't really know for sure what my work schedule is going to be like and I need all the time I can get.
-I'm really just trying to be an over-all better person. I'm trying to do the things I'm supposed to: read the scriptures daily, pray all the time, go out of my way to be nice to people, love my family like I should... I guess I'm just trying to be the kind of person that can brighten someones day with a small gesture.
-I've gotten a lot closer to my family. Well the one's I wasn't already close to. I've been spending a lot of time with Spencer and Abby and their kids and I can't tell you how amazing it is! Growing up, I had two older brothers... our family situation is so complicated that I didn't have two older BROTHERS. I didn't know them. After Ben and Em started dating, he became like the brother I never had. He still is. But now Spencer is taking on that role as well! It is... wonderful! I have so much love in my heart for him and his family.
I'm sure there has been more going on that I can't think of right now. I'll post pics from my birthday and just fun things that I've been doing while I'm at home this weekend (hopefully)!

Time to tell me the truth
To burden your mouth for what you say
No pieces of paper in the way
Cause I can't continue pretending to choose
The opposite sides on which we fall
The loving you laters if at all
No right minds could wrong me, this many times
My memory is cruel
I'm queen of attention to details
Defending intentions if he fails
Until now, he told me her name
It sounded familiar in a way
I could have sworn I'd heard him say it ten thousand times
If only I had been listening
Leave unsaid, unspoken
Eyes wide shut, unopened
You and me
Always between the lines
Between the lines
I thought I, thought I was ready to bleed
That we'd move from the shadows on the wall
And stand in the center of it all
Too late, two choices to stay or to leave
Mine was so easy to uncover
He'd already left with the other
So I've learned to listen through silence
Leave unsaid, unspoken
Eyes wide shut, unopened
You and me always be
You and be always be
I tell myself, all the words he surely meant to say
I'll talk until the conversation doesn't stay on
Wait for me, I'm almost ready
When he meant let go....
Leave unsaid, unspoken
Eyes wide shut unopened
You and me
Always be
You and me
Always between the lines

Tuesday Morning
Ok... here's more lyrics. I'll get a real update soon but right now I'm just keep stumbling on lyrics that describe how I feel now, or how I've felt sometime in the last month and a half.....
I remember stormy weather
The way the sky looks when it's cold
And you were with me
Content with walking
So unaware of the world
Please don't drive me home tonight
'Cause I don't wanna feel alone
Please don't drive me home tonight
'Cause I don't wanna go
Tuesday morning
In the dark
I was finding out
Who you are
I took your picture
While you were sleeping
And then I paced around the room
If I had known then
That these things happen
Would they have happened with you?
Please don't drive me home tonight
'Cause I don't wanna feel alone
Please don't drive me home tonight
'Cause I don't wanna go
Tuesday morning
In the dark
I was finding out
Who I was
And if you turned around to see me and I was gone
You should've looked outside your window
'Cause the sun was coming up
The sun was coming up
Please don't drive me home tonight
'Cause I don't wanna feel alone
Tuesday morning
In the dark
We were finding out
Who we are
Tuesday morning
In the dark
We were finding out
Who we are
Who we are
Who we are
Who we are

Fallin for you
I don't know but
I think I may be
Fallin' for you
Dropping so quickly
Maybe I should
Keep this to myself
Waiting 'till I
Know you better
I am trying
Not to tell you
But I want to
I'm scared of what you'll say
So I'm hiding what I'm feeling
But I'm tired of
Holding this inside my head
I've been spending all my time
Just thinking about ya
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you
I've been waiting all my life
and now I found ya
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you
As I'm standing here
And you hold my hand
Pull me towards you
And we start to dance
All around us
I see nobody
Here in silence
It's just you and me
I'm trying
Not to tell you
But I want to
I'm scared of what you'll say
So I'm hiding what I'm feeling
But I'm tired of
Holding this inside my head
I've been spending all my time
Just thinkin about ya
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you
I've been waiting all my life
and now I found ya
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you
I'm fallin' for you
I can't stop thinking about it
I want you all around me
And now I just can't hide it
I think I'm fallin' for you
I'm fallin' for you
ooohhh
oh no no
oooooohhh
Oh I'm fallin' for you
I think I may be
Fallin' for you
Dropping so quickly
Maybe I should
Keep this to myself
Waiting 'till I
Know you better
I am trying
Not to tell you
But I want to
I'm scared of what you'll say
So I'm hiding what I'm feeling
But I'm tired of
Holding this inside my head
I've been spending all my time
Just thinking about ya
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you
I've been waiting all my life
and now I found ya
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you
As I'm standing here
And you hold my hand
Pull me towards you
And we start to dance
All around us
I see nobody
Here in silence
It's just you and me
I'm trying
Not to tell you
But I want to
I'm scared of what you'll say
So I'm hiding what I'm feeling
But I'm tired of
Holding this inside my head
I've been spending all my time
Just thinkin about ya
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you
I've been waiting all my life
and now I found ya
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you
I'm fallin' for you
I can't stop thinking about it
I want you all around me
And now I just can't hide it
I think I'm fallin' for you
I'm fallin' for you
ooohhh
oh no no
oooooohhh
Oh I'm fallin' for you

InSIdE oUt...
In fairness I was an easy sell
Though I'm embarrassed
To admit it to myself
And the worst part is
You know it all too well
So don't take advantage
Of my transparent shell, no
But you think you know what I need
Impossible as it may seem
And I think it's easy to see
I am awake, it's getting late
I'm in no state to be alone now
Yeah I'm alone now
Come light the fire in my room
I think I'm losing all control now
I don't even know how
But I'm in your rip tide
And now I'm inside out
I'm in the corner of the street cafe
And my heart is warmer
Since I heard from you today
Like a shadow creek I am gleaming
No chance of keeping any secrets
Have I lost enough security yet?
I am awake, it's getting late
I'm in no state to be alone now
Yeah I'm alone now
Come light the fire in my room
I think I'm losing all control now
I don't even know how
But I'm in your rip tide
And now I'm inside out
I tried to hide it, I can't deny it
Now I'm inside out
Say you love me, yeah all or nothing, oh
Now I'm inside out
I am awake, it's getting late
I'm in no state to be alone now
Yeah I'm alone now
Come light the fire in my room
I think I'm losing all control now
I don't even know how
I am awake, it's getting late
I'm in no state to be alone now
Yeah I'm alone now
Come light the fire in my room
I think I'm losing all control now
I don't even know how
But I'm in your rip tide
And now I'm inside out
Um, yeah.........
Though I'm embarrassed
To admit it to myself
And the worst part is
You know it all too well
So don't take advantage
Of my transparent shell, no
But you think you know what I need
Impossible as it may seem
And I think it's easy to see
