glitter in the air.

Have you ever fed a lover with just your hands?
Close your eyes and trust it, just trust it
Have you ever thrown a fist full of glitter in the air?
Have you ever looked fear in the face
And said I just don't care?

It's only half past the point of no return
The tip of the iceberg, the sun before the burn
The thunder before lightning, the breath before the phrase
Have you ever felt this way?

Have you ever hated yourself for staring at the phone?
Your whole life waiting on the ring to prove you're not alone
Have you ever been touched so gently you had to cry?
Have you ever invited a stranger to come inside?

It's only half past the point of oblivion
The hourglass on the table, the walk before the run
The breath before the kiss and the fear before the flames
Have you ever felt this way?

There you are, sitting in the garden
Clutching my coffee, calling me sugar
You called me sugar

Have you ever wished for an endless night?
Lassoed the moon and the stars and pulled that rope tight
Have you ever held your breath and asked yourself
Will it ever get better than tonight?
-"Glitter in the Air" Pink.

.

And I said "I've gotta be honest
I've been waiting for you all my life."
For so long I thought I was asylum bound,
But just seeing you makes me think twice.
And being with you here makes me sane,
I fear I'll go crazy if you leave my side.

scary story.

the other night i watched a scary movie(ask me why? i have no idea).oh yeah i remember why...it was because of a guy. dang those guys. anyway, i watched this tv series called "supernatural". basically it's about these two brothers that have to kill these evil supernatural characters that come from the scary myths. ei, scarecrow, bloody mary, vampires, blah blah blah. so anyway, i watched a couple of these episodes and got a little freaked out. i then went home to an empty house(que: dun dun dun). right when i got home, i locked the door and ran to my room and hoped right in the covers.
the next night i was downstairs in the basement playing the piano, when i heard shuffling coming from the hallway. i looked over to the hallway and i didnt see anything because the hallway was pitch black. i kept playing but only got a couple notes in when i heard it again. i jumped up out of my seat, ran up the stairs and into my room. i slammed the door and locked it. i then jumped into my covers, and "tried" to fall asleep. it took me about 20 minutes to get to sleep, and let me just tell you that i should have just stayed awake. i had the worst nightmares that night, and i was all alone. so lets just say, im glad the house is not empty anymore. now i feel like i can finally sleep.
i did get me thinking though of the other things that scare me.
for instance, that weird guy on chitty chitty bang bang. he always freaked me out.
Also, spiders. BLAH. spiders are so sick.
what is something that scares you?
or am i the only chicken around here?

awkward and awesome thursday.

 awkward
- this picture was taken new years eve. i actually didnt notice i was the not married person at the party, because they are all my really good friends. it wasnt until the next day when i went to college down, and my friends pointed it out to me. "aww ash, how was it being the third wheel?" HAHA!! so this picture makes me laugh because i didnt know where to stand, so i just sat. front row joe. being awesome, around awesome people.
 - at work yesterday, one of my co workers(co worker 1) was telling me about this very attractive man she met a couple years ago. we talked about me getting set up with him, when this conversation happened.
me- "are you kidding me? look at my face right now. (i was not wearing make up).
girl next to me (co worker 2)- "it's ok ash, everyone gets zits once in a while"
me(jokingly)- "i wasn't talking about zits (co worker 2)..."
everyone in the room started busting up laughing! oh man, that was too good.
 - my best friend has a girl liking(creeping on) him right now. on facebook he said that he didnt have a voice anymore. she wrote back and asked if he was ok? i then piped in and told her "i think he needs some soup. his favorite is tomato bisque". Not even a minute later, he was calling me. first thing he said was "i HATTTTEEE you." muhahaha
 - finding out a guy the guy i just met(that i thought was adorable) has a girl friend. that's my luck.

awesome
-meeting a cute guy who shares my same kind of sarcasm and banter.
-being excited for an important letter to come soon.
-listening to kate rusby(THANKS AMY!), flogging molly, and steve earle. i think i'm on this celtic kick.

familia.

we had a family get together to celebrate my grandparents, and cousin quins birthday. my nana made the awesome cake, and we all enjoyed it. we just sat around and told funny stories because thats how we role in this family. my uncle then pulled out the guitar started playing some rock songs for us. my cousin also played a couple songs that he is learning. i love my family. they are all so talented and so funny. ps, my cousins are adorable. i love gabbi and lily. when we walk in the mall they tell people they are twins. they are not twins, but they are best friends. im so glad we live close to each other so we are able to have get togethers a lot. i love them.
last week was a little discouraging, and i hate being negative. hence the crappy posts, but every one goes through that right? this week has been much better but really busy. i was actually supposed to go to arizona tomorrow for a wedding. well my ride bailed, so some college town friends planned a vegas trip and wanted me to come along. things were not working out in my favor and i couldn't go. THEN yesterday i found out a close family member passed away, so i will now be going to a funeral. wow its amazing how plans can change so fast in one week. we will see what happens.

on a happy note, my birthday is next week!!! happy st patricks day to everyone!!

don't tell mom.

she found out. crap.

mom remember...

we love you.

story time.

saturday morning i woke up in a lot of pain on the right side of my stomach. i hunched over because it hurt so bad and walked into the living room where my grandma was sitting. i had never felt this kind of pain in my life. it felt like someone was jabbing my stomach with a knife. my grandma had me lay down and started pushing on my stomach to see where it hurt. little tears started falling down my face, because the pain was so bad. she made me lift up my right leg and asked if it hurt. yes, it killed. my grandma said my appendix probably just burst, and called to tell my mom that she was taking me to the E.R. my stomach then swelled up like a balloon as i layed on the floor. she wanted to wait a couple more minutes to see if the pain was going to go away. it didn't. a thought then came to my mind about all the things i ate the night before.
one thought was..sugar free candy.
i only had a couple pieces? what the?
yeaaah, so let's just say my appendix did not burst(thank heavens) and i will never eat sugar free candy again.
oh and a couple hours later, i was fine.
ha ha.
