My Favorite Singer EVER

I love all kinds of music but there are a handful of favorites that in my opinion can do no wrong.  I have an all time favorite of all, though.  Ya know how people ask "if you could only listen to one artist for the rest of your life, who would it be?"  Well my answer is always the same.

P!nk

Since her first album she's been my favorite artist and I absolutely adore her.  Honestly, she's my hero.

If you've known me for long you know that Dear Diary is my song.  It's the only song that has ever stayed on the "soundtrack to my life" and is always #1.  It's why I got my "angel" tattoo on my left shoulder blade.

"I've got a guardian angel tattooed on my shoulder, she's been watchin over me."

It was something I always wanted and just happened to get at the time I needed her most, but I digress. P!nk's music has always touched me.  Love Song was to be played at my wedding, had I not forgotten the damn CD with all our music at home.  >.<  Her music is the kind of music I can take a song and put it on repeat for a day and never get sick of it.  In fact I've done that very thing many times and she's the only artist that I have an entire playlist of just her music.

I could go on for days about how songs like Sober have made me sing a long and cry while doing it.  I could try to count the times I have belted out Misery in my car, shower or room and probably made my family want to shoot me for my horrible singing, haha.  I could go on about how my favorite videos are from her and that pretty much I think she's a freaking genius.  Her music helped me survive high school & still inspires me today.  I never buy  Cosmo, unless she's on the cover.  Pretty much if I see her on the cover of anything I'll buy it.

So I've been low on the fundage and just finally got Raise Your Glass & Fuckin' Perfect last week.  I had heard Raise Your Glass and watched the video on her website too many times to count and I loved it.  So I knew the other would be amazing too.  Listened to it that day at work...

I cried.

Listen to it at her website.  Seriously I can't even articulate how much I love this song.

Unfortunately, I've never been to a concert.  :(  But her music is amazing and I love it so much.  She's amazing and I love that she is who she is and I love her attitude.  She doesn't apologize for who she is and in today's world that doesn't happen very often.  She's the whole package and that's all there is too it.  P!nk is not just a singer, she's a performer and owns a stage on award shows like no one can.  She's my hero and has been for years and her music means so much to me.

And now that I sound like I'm pathetically obsessed with her to the point of hiding in the bushes outside her house, I think I'll leave it at that, lol.

Oh wait, one more thing, which admitting makes me feel like a total stalker/creeper... I'm entirely too excited that my favorite singer and I are pregnant at the same time.  Lol.  Good to know someone else is suffering through wine withdrawals. Haha!
*waits for the call about the restraining order*

Begone Sad Post!

New post to get rid of my last emo post. I hate emo posts and I rarely do them so now I will write something worth reading.

So I've been working with an awesome photographer here at the Univ who is doing head shots for the theater dept. I've only assisted him one day (was supposed to today but the shoot was canceled) and I will be helping tomorrow. It's Peter Konerko who does head shots for actors and actresses as well as his own work, all of which can be checked out at his website. He's pretty much amazing and I feel so blessed to have this opportunity. I've already learned so much from him after just one shoot. I'm going to be way bummed when this is over.

As you can see in my sidebar--->
I finished Lover Awakened of the Black Dagger Brotherhood and it was AH-MAZING. Started Lover Revealed and just a couple chapters in was already struggling to not cry. Damnit. Lol. I still love it though. ^w^ I should be reading Matsui's Story and I will but damn it's hard to put these books down. Like tortuous to be away from them. #truth

Plus they have very well written sexy time. Yay for sexy time. ^w~

I am having a terrible time concentrating on homework. Srsly. It's ridiculous. I would rather read anything but a text book. Especially if it's my Asian Civ text. BO-RING!! I like history... just not reading about it via textbook. I did however do the reading and do my workbook for Nihongo (Japanese) though. I'd have what she assigned today done... if I didn't suck at kanji. Seriously I am TERRIBLE at remembering kanji, it's ridic. I know less than a 5 year old I swear, lol.

I got an order from Sephora today. I've been a member of their points thingie for like a year or so and just finally ordered. I got the Urban Decay Complexion Primer Potion and the Eyeshadow Primer Potion. The Eyeshadow UDPP was the XL and came with a UD lipstick, lip gloss, mascara and eyeliner...

The verdict?

I'm in LOVE!

Urban Decay is my new favorite makeup and I'm thinking there are going to be a lot more UD purchases in my future. Srsly. My eyeshadow is just as perfect as when I put it on at around 1pm. Oh and the color is so much more brighter and what it should be.

Okay... I'll shut up about it now... I'm just so damned excited about it hahaha.

Oh and Lady A's new album comes out Tuesday... I'm DYING. I can't wait for more songs sung by the ever so sexy Charles Kelley. Srsly anything he sings is a #pantydroppin'song. #truth

Warning: I am about to get on my soapbox and rant about politics.

I'm thinking about getting more involved in elections, more than just my usual voting. Those who know me know that I am neither Republican or Democrat and I pretty well hate those parties because I feel like they have too much power. Most voters see their ballot and only pay attention to the candidates everyone hears about and ignores the fact that there are plenty of other candidates from other parties. I'm not saying I'm gung ho for the communists but everyone goes for the "lesser of two evils". Ummm no. Vote for who you truly support, not who you think is the least amount of trouble.

I voted from who I really supported. Later my G-parents (who I love dearly but we have WAY different political opinions) and I were having a convo about voting and I said that people need to realize it doesn't have to be the lesser of two evils and my Gramps said that if you don't vote for one of the two "main" candidates your vote was wasted. I replied with "Well I'd rather my vote be wasted than to vote for someone I don't fully support." He kinda caved a little with that. Which was awesome because he is stubborn (as am I) so to get him to even lean a little is something, lol.

So yeah that turned into a bit of a novel but what I'm saying is that I want to get more involved. Mostly in getting people to realize that in order to get away from this bs we gotta start paying more attention to ALL candidates and what they stand for and voting for who we truly support.

George Washington warned the country over 200 years ago about the negative effects of political parties in a letter he wrote to the nation just before leaving office.

“The common and continual mischiefs of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest of a wise people to discourage and restrain it. It serves always to distract the public counsels and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill founded jealousies and false alarms; kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasional riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which find a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions.”

Our main political parties no longer care about what is best for the people and the parties are too busy slinging mud to focus on the real issues at hand. I think it's time we do something about it and make a movement for a REAL change.

*steps off soapbox*

Lady A has made me break my own rules!

For those who don't know, I love country music and my absolute favorite country band is Lady Antebellum. They have one album and a new single off of an upcoming album called Need You Now which I have been obsessed with since it came out, which if you follow me on Twitter I'm sure you're aware of, lol. Now they've released their version of Baby It's Cold Outside which is nothing less than amazing, which is the usual for them.

Now as to the rule they made me break. I have a rule about not listening to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. I just feel like to do so is to gloss over the wonderfulness that is Thanksgiving. Odd I know but you can bet the day after Thanksgiving the Christmas music comes out while we put up the Christmas decorations. :D In my defense though this song in no way mentions Christmas so I'm maintaining that I'm, merely bending my little rule because it is thought of as Christmas music, lol.

So I wanted to share the song with you if you haven't heard it. Here they are singing it last Christmas Eve on the Today Show. My favorite part is when Charles sings "gosh, your lips look delicious". It makes my heart melt EVERY time.



Oh Charles... the things I would do given the chance you sexy, sexy man. Yeah I met him once, and it was probably the closest I've ever come to fainting. It was amazing and I didn't want to wash my hand afterwards. (I kid, I kid) He is even more hot in person and he rendered me silly after he winked at me. Yeah, I'm sure he winked at every girl that came through the line but in any event it. was. AWESOME.

In fact, here is a photo I took from said concert that I met him at in Greeley, CO at the Stampede.



Hotness monster! ;) Okay... I'm done. For now. ^w~
