can't stop, won't stop: april

It's time for some April jams, friends (better late than never, right?)! Here's a peak at my current playlist:

• Glee's cover of Animal (originally belonging to Neon Trees)
• Knockout by Lil' Wayne and Nikki Minaj
• Love Lost by Temper Trap
• Who Says by Selena Gomez & the Scene (I'm embarrassingly into this song)
• And I know I've mentioned it before, but I'm still really loving Freelance Whale's debut album Weathervanes. You should check it out immediately (and perhaps fall in love with the likes of Broken Horse and Kilajoules, samesies as me).

And because I'm ridiculously into that Selena Gomez song and just feel like posting the lyrics, I will. No big deal.

You made me insecure, told me I wasn't good enough
But who are you too judge when you're a diamond in the rough?
I'm sure you've got some things you'd like to change about yourself
But when it comes to me, I wouldn't want to be anybody else

I'm no beauty queen
I'm just beautiful me
You've got every right to a beautiful life

Who says, who says you're not perfect?
Who says you're not worth it?
Who says you're the only one who's hurting?
Trust me, that's the price of beauty
Who says you're not pretty?
Who says you're not beautiful?
Who says?

PS: Promise I'll actually post something soon. Well, maybe. It's just hard living the glamorous life of a substitute teacher, y'all.

Fabulous weekend in College Station to kick off fightin' Texas Aggie FOOTBALL SEASON (a-whoop!) and now it's time to enjoy a leisurely Labor Day here in Grapevine. Kisses!

I've got an embarrassing case of wedding fever. I know. That's not cute, but I can't help it. I feel like all I've been to, seen, heard about, talked about, and watched are weddings. It's even shocking, really, how many movies include wedding scenes. Or perhaps I'd never really noticed until now. Maybe it's like that thing where you don't realize anyone drives silver Izuzu Rodeos until you're driving a silver Izuzu Rodeo and suddenly you're seemingly surrounded by them.

Anyway, I saw (and have not been able to stop watching) this adorable wedding video that I stumbled upon today, via Green Wedding Shoes. Can I also just say that if I ever get married I hope I wear green wedding shoes? Or possibly blue. Or yellow. Something fun! Note: not only am I currently obsessed with weddings, but I am also obsessed with the idea of wearing fun, fabulous shoes beneath a wedding dress. Someone stop me.

The song that plays during the majority of the video is "Sweet Disposition" by Temper Trap. I believe I had heard it before today, but my goddd, it's so good. I partly keep watching this video just so I can hear the song, too.

sweet disposition

never too soon

oh, reckless abandon

like no one's watching you

a moment

a love

a dream

a laugh

a kiss, a cry

our rights

our wrongs

a moment, a love

a dream, a laugh

a moment

a love

a dream

a laugh

just stay there 'cause i'll be coming over

and while our blood's still young

it's so young it runs

and we won't stop 'til it's over

won't stop to surrender

songs of desperation

i played them for you

a moment

a love

a dream

a laugh

a kiss, a cry

our rights, our wrongs

(won't stop 'til it's over)

a moment, a love

a dream

a laugh

a moment, a love

(won't stop to surrender)

...

Weddings are just so beautiful, so full of bliss and promise for the future, blind to any trouble. I love that.
