| I just applied for a position as Editorial Assistant at the Library of Congress.
I don't know that I'm qualified enough to get it, but it would be beyond awesome! It's exactly the type of job description I was looking for and . . . well, come on, the Library of Congress!
I'm hoping that if I keep looking in the D.C. area that I'll finally find something. Baltimore wasn't taking too kindly to my job search so . . . on to bigger and better things!
I hope everyone is doing great wherever you are and whatever you are doing! I miss you all, and I hope to see you all soon for Thanksgiving!

| Well, after a very brief and sad period of time, Adam didn't think he would be able to go to his Ring Dance, but in a happy turn of events, he will be able to! This means that I need to find a dress!! Now, Ring Dance isn't actually until August, but stores tend to not carry the "prom type" dresses after prom season, which means I really only have the spring and into May, probably, to find a dress. I've been using this snowstorm productively by looking at dresses online, so I figured I'd put up a few that I really liked for your input!!  So, here goes!!
 
This comes in different colors . . . I would not wear a white dress to this thing, haha!
 
This dress is sort of plain, but very pretty nonetheless, and the back is very cool! It also comes in:
  
I think I like these other colors better than the blue . . . I'm sort of leaning toward the green one!
 Another Grecian-type dress . . . comes in different colors as well!
 Again, Grecian-type . . . apparently I like these dresses, haha!
 I like this one, but I don't know if it's what I want to wear to the dance.
 
This one is nice . . . comes in silver and red, obviously
 
This one is different . . . not really my favorite though
 I think this one is gorgeous!!!
 
Same Grecian-type dress, but I like the straps and the pleats
 Finally, this dress. I think this one is absolutely beautiful, but the other colors are "Key Lime" and "Pomegranate" and there aren't any color swatches for those . . . dunno how I feel about that, haha!
Well, those are my favorites so far. I saw a lot of animal prints, big floral prints, one shouldered dresses, and really high slits, haha! Every website I looked at had the same dresses, I felt like they were the same over and over. Let me know your thoughts!!

Snow Patrol - Set The Fire To The Third Bar
I find the map and draw a straight line
Over rivers, farms, and state lines
The distance from 'A' to where you'd be
It's only finger-lengths Jobby that I see
I touch the place where I'd find your face
My finger in creases of distant dark places
I hang my coat up in the first bar
There is no peace that I've found so far
The laughter penetrates my silence
As drunken men find flaws in science
Their words mostly noises
Ghosts with just voices
Your words in my memory
Are like music to me
I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
I, I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms
After I have travelled so far
We'd set the fire to the third bar
We'd share each other like an island
Until exhausted, close our eyelids
And dreaming, pick up from
The last place we left off
Your soft skin is weeping
A joy you can't keep in
I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
And I, I pray that something picks me up
and sets me down in your warm arms
I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
and I, I pray that something picks me up
and sets me down in your warm arms
It's in the Dear John trailer, and it's so beautiful!!

| "Lucky" Jason Mraz, featuring Colbie Callait Do you hear me,
I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying
Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair
Though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooooh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Yeah, needless to say . . . I love this song!! It really hits home, especially now!! It makes me smile!! | | |
