Laugh and the whole world laughs with you. Laugh hysterically and for no apparent reason, and they'll leave you alone.

Did you miss me in the Twelve hours I was away? Well miss me no more! It is Friday and I'm here, here to gift you all with my presence. Hear me, for I am burdened with glorious tidings and have traveled far. Listen well to what I have to say! It is this;

*Cuts off Middle Earth Speech sheepishly* Its been a long week.

But anyway!.... I'm back!!!  ........  Why do I hear no drum roll? Where is the drumroll? I was promised a drumroll! *scowl* Hmph. I'll just have to do one myself then. 

Boom 
boom
BOOM

DRUMROLL!!!!
There, that's better *smirk*

This is day Twenty-five Of the song challenge:  The song of the Day - a song that makes you laugh. Or grin idiotically and giggle while clapping like a retarded seal. With me it could go either way. But today I'm going to share a song that makes me laugh. I decided to share a hobbit song because my mind has been greatly focused on hobbits and there doings lately, and this song does make me laugh. Its funny and charming and has the Shire written all over it. I love it. 

The Green Dragon


You can keep your fancy ales, 
you can drink them by the flagon
But the only brew for the brave and true
Comes from the Green Dragon!!!

There's nothing like a good hobbit song to brighten your spirits! I know it brightens mine. I now I feel like getting my best brown mug and dancing on the table top while singing of the Green Dragon. Though these things are best done with friend.... I wonder where my sister is?

Well, I'm off then, but I'll see thee tomorrow sure enough! and if you need me before then, well, you know where to find me *wink* 

God Bless!

To die would be an awfully big adventure

Well we all knew Peter Pan was a bit nutty didn't we?


As you see from the list, today I'm to post a song that I would want at my funeral. 
Well, its gonna be my funeral so I don't really care what you play for me. I'll be dead ya' know. I'll probably let my family decide on a song, I'm sure they'll pick a good one. As for me? I have no idea what to post.  I've never given much thought to my funeral song, seeing as its my funeral and I wont really be there. So I opened my computer and I honestly tried to think of a song that I would want. Unfortunately only one song would come into my head and I couldn't think of anything else.  So  I decided to mix things up a bit and present you with something a little weird  and not altogether normal.  Please enjoy.  

Poor Jud

Haha

I dunno why, this song is the only thing I could think of. Not that I'd really want this song at my funeral, or anything. I make a joke, see? Aren't I hilarious? Laugh at me. Hahaha. 

Good night now

God Bless!

"We're goin' to the chapel and we're Gonna get married..."

Day Twenty-Three. A song you'd want to play at your wedding. 

Boom
Boom
BOOM

A Thousand Years

The first time I ever heard this song I fell in love with it and decided I wanted to dance to it on my wedding day. Its so beautiful, especially the Every Breath, Every hour has come to this.... That is such a beautiful line. It makes me want to cry inside. Then I found Peter Hollen's AMAZING cover and I was totally sold on the song. Its beautiful 

The Day we met, 
Frozen I held my breath

Right from the start,
I knew that I'd found a home for my heart to fall 

but watching you stand alone

All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow. 

One Step closer

I have died every day waiting for you

Daring don't be afraid 

I have loved you for a thousand years

I will love you for a thousand more. 

Now isn't that a beautiful and touching song? A lot of people I know don't like it very much and I don't understand why. It has amazing lyrics and the music is well done. The original version is kind of long but so what? Sometimes a long song is the best. 

There's just one more thing before I go, and it concerns Supernatural. I've been posting a lot of gifs and fan references lately and I feel like I should give all of you a heads up about this particular TV show.

Sam and Dean are awesome. There is no other way to say it. I love everything about them, their character, their personality their relationship as brothers - its pure awesomeness and I love it. But! There are a few things I think I should tell you. It isn't always.... clean. There are episodes that throw in a totally unnecessary scene that just isn't okay, especially in Season 4. The way they portray heaven, angels and God is .... wrong. Really wrong. And they make a lot of Biblical errors - like seriously, you feel like picking up a bible and hitting the writers with it. "Did you even read the story? No?? I didn't think so!"  Those things aside, the show is a little dark and intense. It has to be, I mean - They hunt demons!! It gets scary and nerve-wracking and isn't something you want to watch at night alone. In fact, the only reason I am watching it is because I have amazing older sisters who watch the episodes before I do, IMDB well in hand, and then I watch only the best of the best. Which is very nice *Grin* Basically, the Winchester Boys are awesome and wonderful but the episodes and stories aren't always the same. You follow me? 

Good.

WHEW! that's done. Now I can spend time with my family, have tea and watch a super fun movie not involving trauma. Bonus! :-) 


God Bless!

"I love old places. They make me sad."

Day Twenty-Two. A song you listen to when your sad. 

When I'm sad I listen to many types of music.But usually I like something a bit wild, or lighthearted because that helps me deal with my sadness. I feel better listening to happy music when I'm depressed because listening to sad music when sad just makes me sadder. When I'm especially upset I'll turn up my music really loud and then I'll just lay down on my bed with my favorite stuffed animal and shut out the world, blocking everything from my mind except the song in my CD player.

I listen to so many different songs when I'm sad that I couldn't figure out how to narrow it down to one. Than I decided to do a song I've grown absurdly addicted to and have turned on whenever I feel down and depressed. I listen to it and it cheers me up, it make me happy again. I've taken to listening to it on a daily basis.
 Demons 


This song has become a real favorite of mine for many reasons, but one in particular. Someone once made the mistake of asking why I liked Demons. Okay, for one thing its got a good beat, a great feel, a fantastic refrain and reminds me of  two VERY awesome hunters. I'm going to go a bit rogue and post exactly what I want and show exactly what I think when listening to this song. Don't judge me. 

When the days are cold, and the cards all fold
And the saints we see are all made of gold
When your dreams all fail and the ones we hail
Are the worst of all and the blood’s run stale


I wanna hide the truth, I wanna shelter you
But with the beast inside, there’s nowhere we can hide
No matter what we breed, we still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come, this is my kingdom come



When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes

It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide


Don’t get too close
It’s dark inside


It's where my demons hide
it's where my demons hide

They say it's what you make
I say it's up to fate

It's woven in my soul
I need to let you go

Your eyes, they shine so bright
I wanna save that light
I can't escape this now
Unless you show me how

So that's my song for the day!! I hoped you all liked it and didn't mind the random sprout of gifs. I was feeling moody today felt like getting a little fangirly. Did I chose this particular song just to post a bunch of random Sam and Dean pictures? well... yes. But even without the Winchester insensitive I would have shared the song. I just took advantage of the lyrics is all. Those lyrics are just so Sam and Dean! I couldn't resist.*Smiles sheepishly* No judging!

Goot-bye now y'all. I shall return!

God Bless!

Happiness is music

Hey guys! This is gonna have to be a really fast post cause I've got a lot of stuff to do tonight and an amazing book to finish. Seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew

A song that I listen to when I am happy.

Long Live

This is my ultimate 'go-to' song when I feel happy and full of life. It gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling everywhere, especially the bit where it goes "I had the time of my life - With You!!" I love that part so much! It makes me get all choked up and emotional so that I cry and I grin like an idiot 
image

This is one of my favorite songs ever because it reminds me of friendship. It describes a quest, a journey. And I love that about it. Its not just a song, its a story and that is the best type of music for me. I love songs that tell a story, they are so beautiful and wonderful and full of character. they make me want to write. Which is upsetting because at the moment I have such a case of writers block that I've basically built myself into a fenced field. The kind with barbwire. I'm a wee bit frustrated with myself and my writing. I keep telling myself I'm done, WALK AWAY. But  I can't seem to let this one story go. It needs to be finished or I'll go nuts. I tell people I'm not an author, and I'm not. I'm an eccentric writer who thinks she can leave a story unattended and not be haunted by it. HAHA. yeah. That's not happening. Your character will never give you peace again. Ever. 

On a happier note, I've finally finished the second season of Once Upon a Time and have started the third. I'm on a bit of a fangirl buzz and have decided that when I have the time and stamina I'm going to do a review. But for now I'm just going to say that Neal Cassity is AMAZING!

This guy is awesome. I love him to bits and pieces, he is just so down to earth and honest. He's got a lot of character and charm and a really interesting back story. We need more of him.Lots more. *WRITERS!!*

That's all for now folks! Tune in next time to learn what I listen to when Sad! It should be epic *grin*

God Bless!

"That's my secret. I'm always angry"

You hear that? That's the sound of something coming to an end. Something long and dull and very time consuming. Can you guess? Well then I'll tell you! ....  I'm on Day 20 of the Song Challenge!!! Only Ten left you guys!! Only Ten left!! I'm almost finished!! Doesn't that excite you to no end?! I mean, I'm almost done, and I haven't missed a single day!!! isn't that amazing?? Aren't you amazed?? 

You're all like, 'Yeah, amazing.'

Anhoosel - Lets do this thing. A song I listen to when I'm angry. To be honest, when I'm angry I tend to listen to Iron Man music. Or songs with loud drum rhythm. Then I clean. Furiously. I don't listen to a lot of SONGS, per-say, but I noticed there is one that I usually turn on when I'm in a bad mood. I actually used to really hate this song but now - now I love it.
Titanium

I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away

This song is very helpful when I'm angry, cause I sing along and the lyrics help me to vent off steam. "FIRE AWAY, FIRE AWAY!!!" Great therapy :-) I did a cover instead of the original singer because it was when I heard this version that I decided it was an amazing song and worthy of my time. The guy who sings this version is Gavin Mikhail, he covers a lot of amazing songs and I would highly recommend you listening to him. He makes everything sound brilliant, even annoying songs, like Somebody that I used to Know.

With that my deed is done and I will  bid you all a hasty farewell.

God Bless!

A song from your favorite album

I have absolutely no idea how to begin this post. I've gotten into a bad habit of saying "So." or "Today" or "Guess what!" all of which are incredibly redundant and usually lead to long, misfit sentences of mindless rambling. Sort of like what you just read. I need to find a new way to begin my posts. So.... 

Anyone want an Oreo? Oh. Well you're not getting one! Mwahahahahahaha!!! 

Okay, I'm starting over. *removes tension from hands*

Hello friends in Cyberspace! I've missed you since yesterday when the world ended.

I get to share a song with you today, I really fun exciting song that no one has yet heard! Yeah, I bet you didn't see that coming!!



Well, I do try .... *ehem*  A song from my favorite album!

*Boom, Boom, Boom*

BRAVE!!

Hold on, hold on so strong, time just carries on
All that you thought was wrong is pure again
You can't hide forever from the thunder
Look into the storm and feel the rain

This is a song from Josh Groban's album, All That Echoes.  I absolutely adore it. The lyrics are beautifully written and the music set behind them is just gorgeous. How could it not be? Its Josh! But really, This song  makes me feel strong and inspired and full of life. Like I can take on the world and no matter what happens I can overcome everything! I can be brave!
....................

Yeah that was lame. :-3 But it was a good try yeah? 

Anyway, that's about all I have for you. My blogging rut has become a canyon of endless lyrics and song. Sorry all you loyal followers. I know what you go through for me. I appreciate it, I really do. You're all brilliant and I promise I will never do this to you again. Never ever. Promise.



God Bless!

When you stand up and hold out your hand/ In the face what I don't understand/ My reason to be brave....

Begin again

Hey you guys! Guess what I'm going to post about today! A song!!

YOU READY??? *drum roll*


Well that was anti climatic

Today is Friday. Its warm and sunny out and its Day 18 of the song challenge. As you see, I have to do a song I wish heard on the radio. After much forethought I decided on one of my favorite songs by Taylor Swift that I'd love to hear while driving.

Begin Again

Take a deep breath in the mirror
He didn't like it when I wore I high heels
But I do


Turn the lock and put my headphones on
he always said he didn't get this song 
but I do. I do

I walked in expecting  you'd be late but you got here early
 and you stand and wave, I walk to you

You pull my chair out and help me in 
and you don't know how nice that is
but I do. I do.

And you throw your head back laughing like a little kid
I think its strange that you think I'm funny 
cause he never did

I've been spending the last eight months
thinking all love ever does is

Break
and burn
and end
But on a Wednesday in a cafe 
I watched it begin again

And we walk down the block to my car and I almost brought him up, but you start to talk about the movies that your family watches -
every single Christmas and we talk about that 
and for the first time whats past is past
Cause you throw your head back laughing like a little kid
I think its strange that you think I'm funny cause
he never did
I've been spending the last eight months, thinking all love ever does
is break, and burn and End

but on a Wednesday

In a cafe
I watched it began again

So... that's a song I'd love to hear on the radio. and now I really feel like making a video for my otp's :-) 

That's all for now folks! See ya soon

God Bless!

A song you hear often on the radio

Day 17 of the Absurdly Long Challenge. A song you often hear on the radio. I dunno why but every time I turn on the radio I get this song. EVERY TIME.


There is a cover of this song by Gavin Mikhail that I actually really like, but this version kind of annoys me. And because of a bad experience that included a skipping CD and an over-crowded van I have a hard time listening to it. Because the refrain gets on my nerves. I hear it go off

Now You're just Somebody that I used to Know!!

and I'm just like..... 

that  line again? Really? 


So yeah, I do like it but not all the time and not four times in a row. And it is upsetting that it stalks my radio - if I happen to turn on the radio which isn't often.

And now


Good bye!!! I'll return tomorrow :)

God Bless!
~Bella


You didn't have to stoop so low/ have your friends collect your records and then change your number/ I guess that I don't need that though/ Now you're just somebody that I used to know!

Hate is such a strong word

I find that I am in a bit of a blogging rut. There's nothing much happening and therefore nothing to say. I open my lab top and.... nothing. Nothing at all to talk about. Which means I ramble about little things of meager importance, give all you lovely followers a little wave and hope to do better the next day. And I never do. I feel that my posts are becoming something like this
It is seriously annoying, but it does give me a reasonable excuse as to why my posts have been so strange and random lately. Nothing happens to me ever. 

I am now officially more than half-way through my song challenge. That means I have to do something a little more difficult. A song I used to love and now hate. 

This is really difficult for me because I don't tend to  love and then hate. I'll hate a song and the love it but I don't usually love a song and then hate it. Usually if I hate a song I've never liked it in the first place. I spent all day trying to think up a song that I used to like but now I don't. I paced. I tapped. I racked my brains. Nothing
I couldn't think of anything. I did try. I really, really did. I was about to blow rules to the win and post any song I darn well pleased when, out of the blue, I thought of one!
Of course!! A song I used to like but now hate!! how could it be anything else? I was overjoyed and hurried to share my hatred with world. Here it is

The Wizard and I

Now, as far as Wicked goes, I don't think its a terrible musical. I do enjoy listening to it on occasion, but I usually skip about a third of the songs - and I have to be in the right mood. Otherwise I go all hunter;  KILL THE WITCH!!!! This is one of the songs I always skip. I used to listen it often, even sing along but now I press skip before the first note can sound. I can't stand it. 

Whew!! that's out of the way. I can go to bed happy with no more obnoxious melodies running about in my head. 

Well, for lack of a better ending... Goodbye y'all, I'm going to curl and and watch Jason Bourne beat the bad guys! I'll see you all tomorrow!  Cheers :-)



God Bless!
~Bella





Cause when you're with the wizard, no one thinks you're strange/ No father is not proud of you/no sister acts ashamed, and all of Oz has to love you/ when with the wizard you're acclaimed....

Pile of good things
