finals

HI WTF
WHY CANT I MAKE THE FONT 'SMALLEST'
THIS IS GOING TO HARSH STRESS ME OUT





it's terrible, i know
my neglect, my procrastination
BAH

anyways
ive been super busy with school work
i think i'm doing better this year than i am last year
well at least, i hope i am because i'm trying a lot harder
obviously there are many things i need to work on to improve my work habits, but it's a step right?

i'm so indecisive in what i want to be
i want to be a teacher
i love helping people, educating and dealing with children.
however
i love interacting with people,
so i wouldn't mind being in public relations or perhaps human resources

they are both tough yet rewarded jobs i believe
(to each their own, right?)
it's just a little overwhelming to know i don't have a set plan in mind
(i know, whatever will be will be)
but it's hard to let 'it be' when 'it' costs over 2100 a semester

i need to be more proactive on my aspirations though
i need to go volunteer at day cares, schools, summer schools and be around what i want.


this post will be short and sweet because i have a major papers to write
i don't know why but i just can't stay focused on these papers
i end up getting excited over the topic then i lose my track so quickly because i speak so broadly about it
i ramble on and on and i end up repeating myself.
i really do feel like crying, everything i write seems so insufficient to those around me.

like ice cream on a hot day,

i'm listening to my smaller collection of music on my laptop cause i was unable to transfer all of my music from my home computer and i put my playlist on shuffle

i love the feeling of finding something again.
finding songs that made me smile, cry, laugh and just plain reminisce.
it's like finding the shirt you loved wearing when you were 5 and wondering how someone could be that tiny.
or finding what makes you happy in life.
something so obvious yet you remain so oblivious to it.

it's little things like that when you realize life is short to worry and fret.
my previous post was rather depressing, ambiguous and was written at a rough time.
but you know - imma just call it a lesson learned, because there's no point involving yourself in the past.
i've been on autopilot for too long and need to take control of my life.
and i am going to keep those that make me happy in my life and stay passionate to things i love doing.
the only limitations i have are myself and fear - i gotta trudge through it because it will all be worth it.

PS. hope everyone is enjoying this lovely weather (:

indifference.

mm; quick post for the end of the week cause that last post was definitely a draft i was supposed to finish 5 days ago..

these are one of those moments where i'm in between black and white.
i feel like i've been a part of the stupidest experience in my life, however i feel that i wasn't even a part of it all.
i feel like i shouldn't have done what was done, but i feel like it was the only thing that could have happened.
i feel like a victim, yet maybe i was just the instigator to the event.
i'm over it, but i'm not.
i want to tell everyone, and i want it to be non-existent in my memories at the same time.

do we do what's best for us?
or do we do what's best for the situation

come home

so in june i went on my famjam trip consisting of my 2 aunts, madre && sister.
our first stop was NY, i definitely would love to go back again.
we really only got 2 - 3 days there, 1 was dedicated to a tour, the other half was dedicated to WICKED [which was a beyond wonderful performance and is my favourite broadway which has some of my favourite tracks(L)
whiiiich, when you think about it isn't really a lot of time because we couldn't spend as long as we liked in each store, or if we did - then we sacrificed going to another store.
aiya well, NY wasn't quite what i thought it would be, but there was a lot of construction going on; NY is freaking huuuuuge. it's really something else, kind of reminds me of las vegas? when we went the weather wasn't as pleasing as we thought it would be but we were lucky it didn't rain! i really do want to go back maybe with family but for sure with friends. however i would only want to go when i have a good solid job so i can cover my shopping damage haha
from there we went to boston to catch the cruise. we didn't have as much time between landing and boarding the cruise so we couldn't do a tour which we were all stumped on! specially since it was pre-paid... ):

ahh this is my second time being on a cruise, the first time was a .. 7day? long cruise from san fran to vancouver relocating/reposition cruise i think it was called..
but yeah this was a 7day cruise from boston up past the maritimes
we went to novascotia,halifax,princeedwardisland,quebec! it was so much fun! i love cruises and i love the staff. they work so hard and for such long hours, but they are always so nice and cheery (mind you, their contract definitely demands that of them...)
we docked like every day to go see each city and had 1 full day at sea.

we got to see anne of green gables, PEI's largest jam store/producer thing, lots of canadian history aaaand yeah!

after the cruise, we landed in montreal then went to toronto
we have family in toronto, my grandma's sister lives tre as for a lot of the japanese relatives on my momma's side.
i love the east, toronto is really something different.
the style, the atmosphere - it's really crazy. you feel like you're apart of something bigger!
t dot also looks like NY too, like in their times square thingy with all of their high rise buildings and electronic-lit up advertisements!
spending 4 days (i wish it were for way longer!!) with them was absolutely wonderful. i was definitely home sick when i came to vancouver because family was left there so it really sucked.
i can't wait to go back to visit relatives, shop more and indulge in the night life!

sometimes our trip felt more like a chore than a vacation because we would have to wake up at like 8 or earlier to go on tours, or leave early to explore the town/city on foot back and forth- to and fro. but all in all it's one of my most enjoyable experiences ever and i love my famjam more than ever. (L)

disappointment

it's been 2 months since i've posted
i feel like i've neglected a part of me that wanted to really grow in words, as stupid as it sounds.
obviously this blog was started so that i could voice my opinions, rant and try to create a link between words and my thoughts;

granted that during the summer i was "busy" i was also beyond lazy and i really want to change that around.
no more procrastination!
i mean i'm going into second year already, that word needs to be gone from my lifestyle!!!

RAAAA.

i should clean my room...



i'll do it tomorrow.

Monday, June 14, 2010

onwards, ho!

AHHH
so in 24 hours i will be on a plane to NY
my mom and 2 aunts leave earlier this morning cause they didn't want to take the red eye flight
i don't like flying without my mom.
D:
augh i know it sounds so baby-ish but..
she's always with me when i do fly
so it seems almost necessary for her to be with me.
however i suppose i SHOULD learn how to fly without her
i mean i AM going with my sister and family friend. ): it's just not the sameeeee.

let's see. i go to montreal first @ 730AM (their time) and then we take the connecting flight over
all i want to do is shop and eat. (in that order)
but there isn't a lot of time, which totally kills me because i might have to nix the 'eating' part of my adventure off.
i want to try so many different restaurants either recommended through blogs or vlogs and i just want to be able to venture out on myself.
but for 2 and a half days with 5 other people, that could get a little tricky ):

i definitely should have practice packed btw.
i had an idea in my head but it's a little different than what's actually happening xD
i want to bring so much to accommodate the length of the trip and where we are going but i also can't over pack because well... then i can't fit much else in.
however this trip isn't necessarily a 'shopping trip' so if i don't pack enough clothes and don't go shopping (heaven forbid) then i'm super screwed.
and for me - i like to dress how i feel on that day so for me to plan 3 weeks in advance is crazy hard X___X

right now i am last minute harsh dling songs for my zuneeee.
i SHOULD be packing but - i just am totally being a bad procrastinator ):
i want to pack all my clothes. all my shoes. all my bags. (rofl. like all 3 of them =_=)
i think i should make a shopping list of things i need to look out for.
THERE IS NO TIME TO DILLY DALLY.

catching up

so i have been definitely neglecting my blog;
which.. well is evident in the lack of posts.
i guess it's a plus though!
because that means i have been keeping busy : D
there are so many things i want to write about.
sometimes i wish i knew how to vlog (AKA. i'm awkward if you don't already know.)
- CAUSE. sometimes there are things that are better explained orally (heyo ; ) ) than with texty fonts.

in officially one week i will be going on my famjam trip.
NY for 3 days - I CANT WAIT TO WATCH WICKED (L)!!
boston
cruise up the maritimes for 7 nights
toronto for... a week or so?

mm. i am so definitely excited (:
it sucks though because i know i will be missing out on a lot of parties and get togethers ):
and apparently the weather is supposed to be more positive and sunshine-y after this week!
..aiya.

the wait for this trip has been crazy.
just last year we were planning it, and now look! only 7 days left.
but i know once this trip happens it'll be over faster than i know it
there are so many things i want to do, places i want to go, stores i need to shop in and food i want to try in all of these locations
but there just isn't enough time to do it all ):

XO; internet on the cruise is mega expensive
so maybe i can steal my sister's netbook if we are in a cafe and upload pictures and posts : 3

captain's log.

cause it's a bittersweet symphony,

this life.


aside from its overly contagious tune and super scary looking lead singer -
the lyrics to this song are simple.
simple and beautiful.
they hold so much truth without being blunt and obvious.
the music video is insane & i have no idea what it means.. but uh..
i won't question the ibvious artistic symbolism.... -clears throat-

and that's what it really is a lot of the time.
bittersweet.
you win some, you lose some;
you make choices and consequences follow;
you love, you.. you lose;
every decision affects something else - and all you're left with is the aftertaste.
but of course, be it a good or bad one; it's remains with us.

right now i taste something bitter.
i hope sweet follows it - an uplifting would be nice (:

epiphany.

okay so this isn't so much of a life changing moment for me.
but a realization.
it's like when you rewatch a disney movie and you discover the hidden messages/symbols or sexual innuendo -wink-

haha no but really;
i get that i'm only 18.
i've been through some rough patches and seen a lot;
i guess what i'm trying to get at is; i'm making a point to say what i think and to do what i feel.
of course this will all be done in moderation X_X

life is too short to shy away from things.

a little sleepy so i will finish this post tomorrow .. er.. today!

whiskey wednesdays

on time AND i posted between my whiskey intake.
man, me at my best. ; )
5 facts,
GO.

!; i am super obsessed with buffy the vampire slayer once again.
@; i like to call things stupid. for example: the weather is stupid ):!
#; i also like to call things cute. ... quite often, BUT I DO MEAN IT.
$; i tried to do a middle parting today with my hair, i haven't had that since my childhood.
%; if the weather wasn't stupid, i could be tanning right now.


"okay, it's alright with me; some things are just meant to be"

Friday, May 14, 2010

i thought these were pretty cute

Thought Provoking Statements


1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to
immediately clear your computer history if you die.

2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when
you realize you're wrong.

3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap
when I was younger.

4. There is great need for a sarcasm font.

5. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?

6. Was learning cursive really necessary?

7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on #5. I'm
pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you
how the person died.

9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.

10. Bad decisions make good stories.

11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a
moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything
productive for the rest of the day.

12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue
Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again.

13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and
it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page research paper
that I swear I did not make any changes to.

14. "Do not machine wash or tumble dry" means I will never
wash this - ever.

15. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello?
Hello? Damn it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times
and goes to voice mail. What did you do after I didn't answer? Drop the
phone and run away?

16. I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and
then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.

17. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I
know not to answer when they call.

18. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.

19. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given
Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lite than Kay.

21. Sometimes, I'll watch a movie that I watched when I was
younger and suddenly realize I had no idea what the heck was going on
when I first saw it.

22. I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in
each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.

23. The only time I look forward to a red light is when I'm
lost and need to check my directions.

24. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between
boredom and hunger.

25. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you
just nod and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word
they said?

26. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of
cars team up to prevent an A-hole from cutting in at the front. Stay
strong, brothers and sisters!

27. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never
get dirty, and you can wear them forever.

28. Is it just me or do high school kids get dumber & dumber
every year?

29. There's no worse feeling than that millisecond you're sure
you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.

30. As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate
drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate
cyclists.

31. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times
and still not know what time it is.

32. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating
their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the
Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet my ass everyone can find and push the
snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first
time, every time!

all inked up;

hmm
i've been thinking for a while about getting a tattoo
something simple, tasteful and meaningful.

i'm thinking more along the lines of a phrase, or part of a song lyric
ideas:

nothing is ever certain; although this may be a pessimistic phrase in some lights, i think it can also be a positive one - meaning that no matter where you are in life, nothing is ever certain and you have the power to change that. but of course, that can be taken as it's opposites where - even if you are in a good place in your life, everything can just turn right around

whatever will be, will be/ que sera sera; my mom and i used to sing this song together! and, it packs a lot of punch - and for those that know the lyrics, the future's not ours to see. it's important to know that .. well it's okay to know nothing. whatever comes our ways, comes our way - it's up to us after that whether we take it or leave it.

real eyes, realize, real lies; this is from a video that a friend showed me. it was a .. speakword poetry (ahh i don't remember what it's called...) you need real eyes to realize the real lies. i was thinking of having this done in 3 different parts of my body. maybe back of the neck, back of my shoulder (like.. where the shoulder blade is), wrist, behind the ear or forearm.

family first; for me - these two simple words shape my life. i've never had much luck with friends, i do have those i can rely on and the ones i trust with my life, but through thick and thin my family has been there for me supporting and believing in every action i've done. they were my best play mates as a child, my best role models growing up and my best friends today. i wouldn't know the meaning of love without them. it will always and forever be family first. there have been times when i chose to do things with friends over a family outing - and i would take back every decision if that meant i could spend more time with my grandma and grandpa. there isn't one day i take for granted with my family. i love them all so very much, they are my anchor, my rock, my smile, my everything.

life just is; i think it's meaning is self explanatory. life just is what it is. whether we take it for good or for bad, it's there and it's happening.

fear is the heart of love; this is a line from death cab's "i will follow you into the dark." this is a beautifully arranged phrase. fear is a big benefactor for love and very prevalent in relationships and friendships.

aspire, inspire; hm. i was thinking maybe at either sides of my back on both shoulder blades to have the words 'aspire' and 'inspire.' i guess the personal meaning for this is that i aspire to inspire people. unfortunately - at this time in my life i don't know that what i am doing is in fact inspirational. i look up to many people and they become my inspiration. from dance, art, song to creating a persona that relies strictly on personal individuality. i'm not sure what i want to be. i've thought a lot about being a counselor, and i don't often share that with people because it's a bit of an awkward conversation topic for me. i fail to open to those around me, but i believe i can relate to people on an emotional level with the things i have gone through.

of course, this is just a thought process - right?

my mom doesn't want me to get a tattoo.
most parents would be against it too
i mean, if i had a child i wouldn't want them to scar themselves with a gigantic portrait of the next big pop icon on their back.
but i think this is different in a sense?
it's something i truly believe in and feel i can honestly represent on my body.
i am not going to get a loud, obnoxious tattoo in a more than obvious spot of flesh - i don't think that it suits who i am as a person so to speak.
i have thought about getting maybe.. a symbol versus words but - i think words are more my style as well

i'm also not sure if i want the words in english or in another language.

i got it from my mommaaaaa

(:
lately the weather has been getting more beautiful and sunnier each day!
and i am so happy that today is a bright and clear one ;
just in time to celebrate mother's day!

i love my madre very muchhh.
augh and it's totally cliche - but i guess for me, it's 'oversaid' without.. being 'said' very often.
i do appreciate everything she does for me let alone all the things she does for everyone else; family, friend and even strangers.
she's a college teacher and an ESL tutor.
she has one of the most kindest hearts out of those i know (:
always welcoming others, providing unconditional love and always knowing what to do when i have a cold :3
i know sometimes i can get frustrated with the advice she gives me..
"you can date after university."
"see, don't waste your energy on boys - why don't you study."
but i do know that she means very well and only says these things to benefit me.

i think it's much easier when you're younger to pour out your feelings.
there are less walls and restrictions that follow your words.
i would tell my parents that i loved them quite a lot;
in elementary school - everyone loved the idea of making cards and projects telling our parents how much we loved them!
now, sometimes i get embarrassed to say it.
i do tell them i appreciate everything they've done - but i don't obviously say it as often as i'd like.
WELL
to cut things short cause our famjam is taking my momma and aunties out for dinner - i will leave you with a quote from Forrest Gump (one of my top 5 movies).


Happy Mother's Day to every woman that has ever offered their warm heart to any soul, cooked a meal for another hungry tummy, or had the opportunity to witness a miracle in birth.
XOXOXO!

wong fu productions.

XO; okay, so maybe i didn't bawl so to speak.
but it definitely left me speechless.

i'm sure the popularity of wong fu productions has been similar to wild fire after their ever so witty short - Yellow Fever.
if anyone has yet to seen the original clip to their stardom or haven't even heard of them i highly recommend you take time out of your day to watch their clips.
they are 3 university (alum?...) guys [phil (loooove), wed & ted] that create shorts and MV's in the hope of spreading a message, sharing a joke or making a parody upon the shenanigans in our generation.
i adore watching these guys at work - from them hanging out on weekends, goofing off, adding their witty comments and meeting their fans.
they are truly an inspiration to many aspiring filmmakers and to everyone else that has ever been touched by an emotional message conveyed by this trio.
i don't think there is even one mv/clip/short they have made where i was bored and clicked on something else;
the way these guys carry out a project in unbelievable.
you get so into watching the clip that you never want it to end - or are surprised when it does; and leaves you wanting more.
their shots are captivating and their insight is enlightening - here are a few highlighted ones out of their 100+ videoooos

some of my favourite clips of theirs are;
brushing your teeth with jack
engagement video
in the studio with david choi
wongfu weekends: lego

some of my favourite mv's of theirs are;
won't even start (david choi)
when we say (aj rafael)

some of my favourite shorts are;
the one days
the spare
yellow fever
poser: the history and evolution of the 'peace sign'
and now - more recently;
when five fell.


in fact, i have to post my thoughts before i get all teary eyed.
i just watched the short produced by wesley chan.
i guess from his previous works of art - he's in the mindframe of a hopeless romantic.
he really gets your emotions going and i take caution in watching his videos only because i know it will either hit close to home or get me bawling. (i speak also closely with his series: the one days)
this short, however, is that of a masterpiece.
[i will post links later on in this blog]
the music, produced by jesse chui is spectacular!
it's filled with emotion, as light as a feather, yet heavy to your heart.
he highlights the story of five narrations belonging to inanimate objects.
the video of course, deals with the delicate topic of love; falling in, and out.
i won't say much more because there are no words i could find to express the brilliance of this video and the beauty expressed through the simplicity and intricacy of his cinematography.
i really admire wes's post about his short. explaining why he made it, how he made it and why he chose to do every little thing.
his thought process behind this clip was brilliant and beyond original.
wes's words: "A pair of glasses that goes blind. A phone that resorts to eavesdropping. An umbrella that longs to be held. A scarf that treasures scent. A cup that wants to be kissed. These are the ways I tried to personify the objects to show they fell in and out of love. Between the five, viewers should be able to relate to different dimensions and roles of a relationship. Whether it’s budding in the early stages, the challenge of long distance, slowly fading feelings, or losing out to someone else. Even the order of the objects in the short show a progression in the relationship. Starting from looking and eventually moving onto touching."

i would truly love to meet these men!
i hope to go to cali with a friend and stal-- i mean find them! [AUGH CAUSE THEY WON'T COME TO VANCOUVERRRR ): ]
.. i'm not sure what i would do if i actually met them though.. D:
..maybe stutter.. move uncontrollably and sweat.
yeah, sounds about right.
okay well i've leave you with the links!
i'm off to finish reading the director's notes on WFF.
.....and in doing so, i'm clinging on to a box of tissue paper right now.

appreciation

so after watching glee (april 27 2010)
i'm not ashamed to admit i teared a little during the episode.
in a nutshell, love was re-introduced, heartaches were cast once more and self-esteem was put on the line.
within those 44 minutes of musical magic - was a pure message:

appreciate yourself, the things you have a passion for, and the people that make you, well.. you.

mercedes was brought into a conflict between herself and a scale.
forced to meet expectations of a superficial cheerio (<- seriously, the name is so clever.) coach and the assumed eyes of her high school audience, she was pressured into changing her appearance with extreme measures.
beauty arises both internally and externally and it's important to realize what you're worth.
as unbelievably and disgustingly cliche as it sounds, and in the words of christina aguilera(& the flawless glee cover):
"you are beautiful, no matter what they say"

following that story came the blossoming newfound love between kurt's dad and finn's mom.
as undesirable as the couple is in their children's eyes, they are the beautiful reproduction of the word comfortable.
after a mourning, moving on is the last thing anyone ever wants to do.
especially with a loved one or family member. in the case of glee - these would be both, a lost spouse.
finn's mother shared a heartfelt revelation with her son over the passing years with their husband&father's missed presence.

within the love story lay kurt's true feelings;
his father's unintentional and displaced neglect towards him. - or so that's what kurt had felt.
and i think it truly is difficult to raise a child without a spouse's other half.
the other part that completes them.
and i suppose that story was the heartache aspect of that episode.
kurt felt that he was never the son his father wanted, due to his sexuality - and that with the reunion between carole and burt gave him what perceived to be a true father son relationship with finn and burt.
they were able to talk sports and to connect conversationally and emotionally.
it's hurts to have to 'compete' or 'look' for attention from your own bloodline - and i guess that's what it was.
heartache felt between a father and a son - a foreigner in his own home.

everyone is their own best critic - and when we're up against ourselves, we remain our worst enemy.
i hope everyone does take the time in their life to appreciate those around you - and to realize your true worth (:
i know it's easier said than done, but ya gotta start somewhere - right?

shucks.

ahh it's been pretty much a week since i have last updated my blog
which sort of frustrates me;
but sometimes i just don't have any clever topics to write about,
or enough emotions behind my words to make a meaningful post haha

well - i'll do a recap of the past 6 days for now!
thursday/friday = sleeping days & depression/elation sets in from uni
saturday = work for 5 hours, and my final exam for linguistics (which by the way was fucking hard. D: )
sunday = work for 4 hours, picked up becky and was off to the states with my madre and auntie
we drove down, ate buffet (oh god so good xD), went to wal-mart and then just vegged in the hotel!
monday = went to ross, lynnwood mall, kohl's, target, olive garden for dindin (my favourite restaurant ♥) mm... and then went to the hotel. becky and i watched amityville horror. i almost shit myself. but the cinematography for the movie was insane awesome i must admit! i do hate scary movies cause they really get to me (i'm one of those people that thinks for way too long ): ) [fuck i love ryan reynolds. his body in that movie is off the charts. OH MY GOD SO SEXY.]
today = went to another ross, target, cascade mall, drove home and then ate dindin, worked out @ gym and oggled 2 half naked men lifting weights.

hmm. i didn't really buy 'a lot' so to speak.
1 fancy sandal
1 pair of flipflops
1 pair of high heels
1 high waisted belt
1 ring
2 necklaces
1 pair of earrings
1 fancy-ish dress
1 clubby-ish/fancy-ish dress
2 casual high waisted pairing
1 high waisted skirt
1 cotton blazer
1 scarf
1 pink leopard sweater
1 summer tank top

but. i also tried on close to 80 things in total...
so that's why i consider it not a lot
BUT HEY i am happy with what i bought (:
i could always go down again though ; )

g4l

no, not gangsta for life
(even tho i am true to my roots holla)
but GLEEK for life! (:

this show is terrible underestimated of its brilliance.
the characters are superior to any show in the past decade that tried to blossom as successfully as 'FRIENDS' did
and well, i'm a sucker for dancing and singing.
so a show that is pretty much a musical wins my vote! :D

actually, the wait for the second season to start was excruciatingly painful on several levels
1) hi, it didn't start until april, that's a good enough reason. ):
2) musicals are addicting.
3) i'm in love with the actors/actresses!
4) they all sing
5) ogod, it's just so funny
6) i wanted to know what happened between schue & emma (SO CUTE.)
7) their renditions of pop songs and old classics are creative, quirky and .. uhm.. whats another word for brilliant..
8) it's a modern sesame street plethora of a cast

(and as a side note:
i dislike cory monteith and taylor swift together.
-gag-)

hmm; my favourite renditions
'confessions & it's my life'
'defying gravity (duo)'
'sweet caroline'
'don't stand so close to me & young girl' <- for it's comical value


okay here are some quotes from today's episode!
"mercedes is black and im gay - we make the culture"
"lindsay lohan looks like something out of lord of the rings"
"you have all the sexuality as the pandas down at the zoo who refuse to mate"
"just come out so we can talk,.. or sing about it"
"mr schue is he your son?"


XO; i wish my life was a musical.
XOXO; i wish i knew people who sung as spontaneously, sporadically and as crazy good as them
