(Grr.... hate how when you edit a blog, it redates it. This is from early November; I just retitled it to make more sense. So ignore if you've read before.)
Well, my recital went well today. I was nervous, for me (which still isn't very nervous... I am, after all, a seasoned performer) but there was only a very small fudge that I don't think anyone else noticed. I was very happy that a few of my friends showed up, as well. We had a nice-sized audience.
And hey, Ryan Philippe may be single again soon. That's enough to make any hot-blooded woman happy. :) Think I have a shot? (Mental note: Must re-rent Cruel Intentions. Ryan PLUS hot girl on girl kiss? GOLD!)
My mood is back to my normal even keel. It was a very stressful week for me, even ignoring painful events in my personal life.
In honor, I give you (as a sequel to last week's weepfest), my favorite Moving On Song Lyrics (note, these aren't necessarily specific to MY situation):
Strong Enough - Sheryl Crow
God, I feel like hell tonight
Tears of rage I cannot fight
I’d be the last to help you understand
Are you strong enough to be my man?
Nothing’s true and nothing’s right
So let me be alone tonight
Cause you can’t change the way I am
Are you strong enough to be my man?
I Will Love Again - Lara Fabian
Did I ever tell you how you live in me
Every waking moment, even in my dreams
And if all this talk is crazy
And you don't know what I mean
Does it really matter
Just as long as I believe
I will love again
Though my heart is breaking, I will
love again
Stronger than before
I will love again
Even if it takes a lifetime to get over you
Heaven only knows, I will love again
People never tell you
The way they truly feel
I would die for you gladly
If I knew it was for real
So if all this talk sounds crazy
And the words don't come out right
Does it really matter
If it gets me through this night
If I'm true to myself, nobody else can take the place of you
But I've got to move on, tell me what else can I do
I will love again
One day I know, I will love again
You can't stop me from loving again, breathing again
Feeling again
I know, one day, I'll love again
Hunter - Dido
If you were a king up there on your throne
would you be wise enough to let me go
for this queen you think you own
Wants to be a hunter again
wants to see the world alone again
to take a chance on life again
so let me go
I'm Alive - Heather Nova
I still have visions of you
I still have nights to get through
And when the trust isn't true
I have these visions of you
I have these visions of you
And I'm alive
I survived you
And the bitter taste
The years I wasted
All the hate is gone
'Cause I'm alive
I'm alive
I Never Loved You Anyway - The Corrs
Valentino, I don't think so
You watching MTV while I lie dreaming in an MT bed
And come to think of it
I was misled
My flat, my food, my everything
And thoughts inside my head
Before you go I must remember
To have a quiet word with that girl
(Oh that girl)
Does she know you're not a spender
Well I just have to say...
(Just wanna say...)
I never really loved you anyway
No I didn't love you anyway
I never really loved you anyway
I'm so happy you're moving away
Limp - Fiona Apple
You wanna make me sick;
You wanna lick my wounds,
Don’t you, baby?
You want the badge of honour when you save my hide
But you’re the one in the way
Of the day of doom, baby
If you need my shame to reclaim your pride
And when I think of it, my fingers turn to fists
I never did anything to you, man
But no matter what I try
You’ll beat me with your bitter lies
So call me crazy, hold me down
Make me cry; get off now, baby-
It won’t be long till you’ll be
Lying limp in your own hand
Song for the Dumped - Ben Folds Five
So you wanted to take a break
Slow it down some, and have some space
Well fuck you too
Give me my money back
Give me my money back, you bitch
I want my money back
And don't forget
And don't forget to give me back my black T-shirt
I wish I hadn't bought you dinner
Right before you dumped me on your front porch
Give me my money back Give me my money back, you bitch
I want my money back
And don't forget
And don't forget to give me back my black T-shirt
So you wanted to take a break
Slow it down some, and have some space
Give me my money back Give me my money back, you bitch
I want my money back
I want my money back
Strong Enough - Cher
I don't need your sympathy
There's nothing you can say or do for me
And I don't want a miracle
You'll never change for no one
I hear your reasons why
Where did you sleep last night?
And was she worth it, was she worth it?
'Cos I'm strong enough
To live without you
Strong enough and I quit crying
Long enough now I'm strong enough
To know you gotta go
There's no more to say
So save your breath
And then walk away
No matter what I hear you say
I'm strong enough to know you gotta go
