ten years ago i fell for this boy who sang the prettiest melodies. i fell for him like paul mccartney. i fell for his art. his voice. his words. and his face. i dreamed a million day dreams since then. i dreamed a million ways of looking at him face to face. i dreamed about all the ways it would happen. i even wrote one song about it. i felt it would happen. i didn’t stop dreaming it. i...
when you all come up to me and say, "oh! you look...
“wow, you seem great.”
“oh! you sound great.”
“aw, you really seem good”

(confused face)
whatever you’ve “heard” about me isn’t true, unless you’ve heard it from me.
omnipotent dear one
so there’s this women…
… i can’t live without. she’s my best friend and mentor. she’s my therapist and my doctor. she’s my phone call almost everyday on my way to work. she’s my grandmother.
i thought i’d dedicate this blog to her today. she’s in a hospital in new jersey hurt and scared that she’s being kicked out tomorrow....
my mountain.
so i’m soaking in the suns rays and vitamins and warmth today. i feel like i’ve been in the dark since september—and today i’m lightening up. i’m gonna hike up a mountain and let it all go. i’m going to get over the mountain in me. i’m going to sweat the tears that won’t come out. i’m going to push myself until i get to where it is i want to...
grey
the sky is grey, the sand is grey, and the ocean is grey. i feel right at home in this stunning monochrome, alone in my way. i smoke and i drink and every time i blink i have a tiny dream. but as bad as i am i’m proud of the fact that i’m worse than i seem. what kind of paradise am i looking for? i’ve got everything i want and still i want more. maybe some tiny shiny thing...
be careful what you wish for.
remember that time you didn’t have a job? remember that time you were so bored? remember that time you just wanted to be single? remember that time you didn’t have any money? remember that time you wanted to be in the studio? remember that time you wanted genuine friends? remember that time you wanted to live on beachwood drive? remember that time you wanted to be skinnier? remember...

today is my first valentines day since pre school that i haven’t had a valentine. but today is the best one i’ve ever had.
i'm in love...
…with your mix cd’s.
(this playlist is called “the reason why my heart keeps beating”)
once upon a time i played mix cd tag with a boy. i fell in “love” with that boy and his mix cd’s. then i realized that real life didn’t have a soundtrack and without his playlists, i didn’t know him at all and he didn’t really know me.
be careful...
my very first bio
christina perri has the voice of a oversized black woman in the body of a skinny, tattoo covered, hopeless romantic. born and raised in philadelphia, music is in her blood. She grew up wanting to be a beatles historian—having john paul george and ringos names tattooed on her wrist at age fifteen. christina comes from a middle class italian family and when she wasn’t singing in her...

funny how a flu can kick you down to earth. i didn’t notice i was high on life. i didn’t notice i was too high. but i got the memo, universe. i’ll appreciate my strength a little more. i’ll appreciate my temperature when it stays at 98. i’ll take the hint when it’s windy and my hair’s a little wet that i might need to take a little nap instead of dancing...
