can't stop, won't stop: january
Presenting the first can't stop/won't stop of 2011, y'all: songs I can't and won't stop listening to on repeat as of late. Holla!
...
there i was again tonight
forcing laughter, faking smiles
same ol' tired lonely place
walls of insincerity, shifting eyes and
vacancy vanished when i saw your face
all i can say is it was enchanting to meet you
I remember the first time I ever saw Mitch. It was at a party in Nacogdoches; I was visiting an old friend for the weekend, sitting around someone's coffee table when he walked in. He was wearing a long-sleeved, oatmeal-colored shirt and faded jeans that were ripped up at the knees. I remember staring at him and his mesmerizing smile before immediately texting my friend across the room, Who is that guy? What can I say? I just had to know.
December 2008, the first night we met. YIKES.
And yes, it was a bit scandalous on my part since my boyfriend at the time was also at this party. Don't worry - nothing happened that night (or any night for that matter while I was still with said boyfriend, I swear), but that didn't stop me from being curious about the sweet boy at Jordan's party, the boy who made me laugh and asked me to play beer pong with him (against my aforementioned boyfriend...oops?).
your eyes whispered, have we met?
across the room your silhouette starts to make its way to me
the playful conversation starts,
counter all your quick remarks like passing notes in secrecy
and it was enchanting to meet you
all i can say is i was enchanted to meet you
I realize the beginning sounds a bit sketch, and maybe it is, but every time Mitch walks into the room, I'm enchanted just as I was two years ago when he walked through that apartment door and unsuspectingly into my life. I love that we had no idea what would become of us when he innocently asked for my number. I love that there were too many times I blew him off, pushed him out of my mind as some silly boy with some silly crush on me, and all the while this was the future God had in store.
I love our story, totally & absolutely.
this night is [flawless]
don't you let it go
i'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home
i'll spend forever wondering if you knew i was enchanted to meet you

can't stop, won't stop: november
It's time for another round of can't stop/won't stop, featuring songs (and perhaps an album or two) I'm inexplicably obsessed with.
- Whip My Hair by Willow Smith (absolutely no shame whatsoever)
- Powerful Stuff by Sean Hayes
- Glee's cover of both Teenage Dream and Forget You (o.m.g)
- We R Who We R by Ke$ha (cue embarrassment)
- John Mayer's Continuum album - every year I turn to this as my fall/winter soundtrack (it just fits, doesn't it?)
Thanks to Gwenyth Paltrow for doing such a fantastic rendition of Forget You that I've found my new go-to karaoke song. We had a good run, Benny & The Jets, but you've been replaced.

my job is...
crazy
busy
awful
taxing
stressful
definitely not monetarily rewarding
inescapable, even in my dreams
tiresome
tedious
constant
overwhelming
email after email after email
Excel spreadsheet after Excel spreadsheet after Excel spreadsheet
necessary
frustrating
making me hate Shell more than anything in the world
not what I'll be doing in the long run...I hope...
It's Friday. Less than four hours until I'll be on the road with Clark, headed to Nac. I can't wait to drink summertime beer, score some of Kuykendall's leftover magic-making shish kabobs, double (triple??) date, go to Mitch's tennis tournament, take Clark to the park, watch Dan in Real Life (one of my very favorite movies), drink even more summertime beer, play at Shack or Annex or Bullfrogs, sleep late, and soak up every minute with friends. :)
Oh, and currently playing: John Mayer's Stop This Train. On repeat. For the past two hours.
