It’s based loosely on Tennyson’s Lady of Shalott Poem it makes perfect sense when you see the book and the poem drying out in the end on that poem’s page…so I decided to look it up and read it.

It’s a beautiful and sad poem and after reading it I wondered if there were any versions of it that we in audio so I could add it to my playlist on itunes or WMP and I discovered a very nice song that uses bits from the poem to tell the beautiful story. At first I was weary of it for the woman spoke in an accent and accents of any kind still really get to me but I really enjoyed it and decided it would be nice to share because I haven’t for awhile.

And here’s the poem itself:

The Lady of Shalott

On either side the river lie
Long fields of barley and of rye,
That clothe the wold and meet the sky;
And thro’ the field the road runs by
To many-tower’d Camelot;
And up and down the people go,
Gazing where the lilies blow
Round an island there below,
The island of Shalott.

Willows whiten, aspens quiver,
Little breezes dusk and shiver
Through the wave that runs for ever
By the island in the river
Flowing down to Camelot.
Four grey walls, and four grey towers,
Overlook a space of flowers,
And the silent isle imbowers
The Lady of Shalott.

By the margin, willow veil’d,
Slide the heavy barges trail’d
By slow horses; and unhail’d
The shallop flitteth silken-sail’d
Skimming down to Camelot:
But who hath seen her wave her hand?
Or at the casement seen her stand?
Or is she known in all the land,
The Lady of Shalott?

Only reapers, reaping early,
In among the bearded barley
Hear a song that echoes cheerly
From the river winding clearly;
Down to tower’d Camelot;
And by the moon the reaper weary,
Piling sheaves in uplands airy,
Listening, whispers, ” ‘Tis the fairy
Lady of Shalott.”

There she weaves by night and day
A magic web with colours gay.
She has heard a whisper say,
A curse is on her if she stay
To look down to Camelot.
She knows not what the curse may be,
And so she weaveth steadily,
And little other care hath she,
The Lady of Shalott.

And moving through a mirror clear
That hangs before her all the year,
Shadows of the world appear.
There she sees the highway near
Winding down to Camelot;
There the river eddy whirls,
And there the surly village churls,
And the red cloaks of market girls
Pass onward from Shalott.

Sometimes a troop of damsels glad,
An abbot on an ambling pad,
Sometimes a curly shepherd lad,
Or long-hair’d page in crimson clad
Goes by to tower’d Camelot;
And sometimes through the mirror blue
The knights come riding two and two.
She hath no loyal Knight and true,
The Lady of Shalott.

But in her web she still delights
To weave the mirror’s magic sights,
For often through the silent nights
A funeral, with plumes and lights
And music, went to Camelot;
Or when the Moon was overhead,
Came two young lovers lately wed.
“I am half sick of shadows,” said
The Lady of Shalott.

A bow-shot from her bower-eaves,
He rode between the barley sheaves,
The sun came dazzling thro’ the leaves,
And flamed upon the brazen greaves
Of bold Sir Lancelot.
A red-cross knight for ever kneel’d
To a lady in his shield,
That sparkled on the yellow field,
Beside remote Shalott.

The gemmy bridle glitter’d free,
Like to some branch of stars we see
Hung in the golden Galaxy.
The bridle bells rang merrily
As he rode down to Camelot:
And from his blazon’d baldric slung
A mighty silver bugle hung,
And as he rode his armor rung
Beside remote Shalott.

All in the blue unclouded weather
Thick-jewell’d shone the saddle-leather,
The helmet and the helmet-feather
Burn’d like one burning flame together,
As he rode down to Camelot.
As often thro’ the purple night,
Below the starry clusters bright,
Some bearded meteor, burning bright,
Moves over still Shalott.

His broad clear brow in sunlight glow’d;
On burnish’d hooves his war-horse trode;
From underneath his helmet flow’d
His coal-black curls as on he rode,
As he rode down to Camelot.
From the bank and from the river
He flashed into the crystal mirror,
“Tirra lirra,” by the river
Sang Sir Lancelot.

She left the web, she left the loom,
She made three paces through the room,
She saw the water-lily bloom,
She saw the helmet and the plume,
She look’d down to Camelot.
Out flew the web and floated wide;
The mirror crack’d from side to side;
“The curse is come upon me,” cried
The Lady of Shalott.

In the stormy east-wind straining,
The pale yellow woods were waning,
The broad stream in his banks complaining.
Heavily the low sky raining
Over tower’d Camelot;
Down she came and found a boat
Beneath a willow left afloat,
And around about the prow she wrote
The Lady of Shalott.

And down the river’s dim expanse
Like some bold seer in a trance,
Seeing all his own mischance –
With a glassy countenance
Did she look to Camelot.
And at the closing of the day
She loosed the chain, and down she lay;
The broad stream bore her far away,
The Lady of Shalott.

Lying, robed in snowy white
That loosely flew to left and right –
The leaves upon her falling light –
Thro’ the noises of the night,
She floated down to Camelot:
And as the boat-head wound along
The willowy hills and fields among,
They heard her singing her last song,
The Lady of Shalott.

Heard a carol, mournful, holy,
Chanted loudly, chanted lowly,
Till her blood was frozen slowly,
And her eyes were darkened wholly,
Turn’d to tower’d Camelot.
For ere she reach’d upon the tide
The first house by the water-side,
Singing in her song she died,
The Lady of Shalott.

Under tower and balcony,
By garden-wall and gallery,
A gleaming shape she floated by,
Dead-pale between the houses high,
Silent into Camelot.
Out upon the wharfs they came,
Knight and Burgher, Lord and Dame,
And around the prow they read her name,
The Lady of Shalott.

Who is this? And what is here?
And in the lighted palace near
Died the sound of royal cheer;
And they crossed themselves for fear,
All the Knights at Camelot;
But Lancelot mused a little space
He said, “She has a lovely face;
God in his mercy lend her grace,
The Lady of Shalott.”

Dakota Skye Script

[Cigarette lighter flicks]

JONAH: I still
have the dream sometimes.

I do. I come home from the store
and find you on my doorstep

with a suitcase.

And not your entire wardrobe.

Just a carry-on, a duffel bag.

We don’t say anything,

but you have this look
in your eye that kills me.

It just…

And I unlock the door and let you in.

And that’s it.
That’s the dream.

When I wake up, I wake up happy…

…vibrating for a few seconds
with my head in the sand…

…content.

[Sighs]

Then it goes away, and you go away.

I really don’t want
to get out of bed then

because it’s cold out there,

but I do.

I get up.
Life goes on.

[Exhales]

Most days you never
even cross my mind.

DAKOTA:
Tell me that you love me.

My name is Dakota Skye.

I’m 18 years old,
only medium-cute,

and I have a superpower.

I can’t fly,
I can’t turn invisible,

and I’m pretty sure that a bullet
would make me good and dead.

I don’t have x-ray vision, either.

Well, not exactly.

The fact is I am
incapable of being lied to.

When someone tells a lie, any lie,

to me, to anyone, I know the truth,
what they really mean,

so there are no lies in my world,

or there are nothing but.

It’s kind of hard to explain.

It’s like movies from other countries.

Somebody says something in French

like “Voulez-vous
coucher avec moi, ce soir?”

and at the bottom
of the screen it says…

I don’t know what it says.
I flunked French.

But I’ve been this way since…

…I guess since I was little.

Who are you?

MAN: It’s me, Santa Claus.

Liar!

TEACHER: In this section,
we’re going to look at explorers.

Christopher Columbus
discovered America in 1492.

He was a great explorer,

and really the first important figure
in the history of our country.

Is Daddy gonna be okay?

MOTHER:
He’s going to be just fine.

And sophomore year,

when Jacob Barrow
told me that he loved me,

well, I let him
take my virginity anyway.

It had to go sometime.

And to the best of my knowledge,

I’ve never been bitten
by a radioactive spider

or dosed with an overabundance
of gamma rays…

whatever those are.

I have no explanation.

I’m just involuntarily
cursed with the truth,

something people spend
their entire lives looking for.

Lucky me.

ANNOUNCER:
Dorian Wallace.

Hey.

I’m so happy for you.

I know. I know…

All right.
Well, see you there, okay?

Okay. Yeah, I’m just gonna go home
and change really fast, okay?

Us, too.

Hey, Dakota!

Yeah?

Congratulations.

Thanks. You too.

So, in order to explain
why I’m about to ditch my friends

and drive 2,500 miles across country

less than an hour
after graduating high school,

I’ll have to tell you a story,

a story about a different
Dakota Skye.

You see, every superhero
has a nemesis, an archenemy.

Mine is a cute
stoner boy named Jonah.

This Dakota Skye
is only 17 years old.

What frame were we on?

DAKOTA: 8.

What’s my score?

DAKOTA: 184.

What’s yours?

DAKOTA: Don’t worry.
I think you’re gonna win.

Come on. Tell me your score.
What is it?

- DAKOTA: 42.
- Ah, see? You’re getting better, babe.

Ha! Take that, bitches!

How about a kiss?

Your turn.

- What was I saying before?
- The demo.

Yes, demo.

Jacob said he’s going to get it to his
cousin once we get the mix done.

- His cousin?
- Yeah.

The one who works at Sub-Pop.
I told you about that.

Oh, that’s right. You did.

Are you gonna come with me
on Wednesday to band practice?

Where?

At Jacob’s.

- Maybe.
- Maybe? Why not?

I said “maybe.”

- Yeah, but you meant “no.”
- Jacob hates me.

He does not!

Want to get out of here?

KEVIN: Oh, God, I love you.

[Kissing]

DAKOTA:
Are you okay?

Yeah?

Are you gonna come?

KEVIN: Unh-unh. Keep going.

KEVIN: Oh, God, I love you.

Oh, don’t move.

Oh, yeah.

[Kevin exhales]

Kevin is a liar,
but no more than anybody else.

Certainly no more than me.

[Alarm clock ringing]

I hate Kevin
less than almost anybody,

and his looks don’t make me vomit.

So he’s my boyfriend.

And he’s talented and a nice guy,
and we have fun,

and the first couple of times that he
told me that he loved me he meant it.

At least, he thought he did.

And if he ever cheats on me,
well, I’ll know.

“Dearest Dakota, gone to L.A.
Be back tomorrow night.

Left cash in the cookie jar.
Love, Mom.”

Junior year is almost over,
and everyone…

all my friends, all the teachers…
all they talk about is the future,

about college and careers
and all that shit.

I have never been able
to think that far.

Beth is the worst of them.

I think she’s got the next 25 years
of her life planned down to the hour.

I don’t think
she even likes me anymore.

Well, being me, I know
she doesn’t like me anymore.

Why should she?

I mean, I’m bitchy and sad
and angry and distant all the time.

I’m not even sure I like me anymore.

We’re friends because we have been
for the better part of the last 12 years.

No other reason.
We are because we are.

So, year after year, lie after lie,

it’s all been building
inside my head like a snowball.

You’re right, Jeannie…

Thomas Jefferson
did own some slaves.

He was, after all, a man of his times,

but he treated the slaves

that he owned quite well.

I used to be able to keep it in check.

When it was my folks and teachers,
it seemed okay.

On his deathbed, in fact,
he freed many of them.

And then boys and sex
came into the picture,

and with boys, more lies,
with sex, more lies.

I go through weeks at a time
just praying someone

will actually say
what they mean for once.

Like I said,
it’s kind of hard to explain.

BETH:
Hey!

Hey.

Dakota, what’s wrong?

Nothing.

I forgot to bring in your CD.

I’ll bring it back tomorrow, okay?

Yeah. Sure.

DENISE:
Hey, guys.

Hey, Denise.

BETH:
So, what time tonight?

- Say, like, 5:00?
- 5:00′s good.

Do you want us to bring anything?

- Soda, maybe snacks.
- What are you guys talking about?

We’re studying for the S.A.T.’s
at my house tonight, remember?

You said you’d come.

That does not sound like me.

The test is in two weeks.

We really need to study.

Oh, what is this? An intervention?

BETH: No.

- Let’s go.
- So, you’ll be there?

I don’t even know
if I want to go to college.

Well, we already signed you up
for the next test.

That can’t be legal.

- So, you’ll be there?
- Sure.

BETH:
Good.

AMY:
Come on, guys.

God, it’s hot here.

Hey, little girl.
You want some candy?

I don’t know. My mommy told me
never to talk to strangers.

Oh, I guess it will be
our little secret, then, huh?

Mm, okay, if you got candy.

[Car radio blaring]

What time is it?

I don’t know.
Like, 11:00. 12:00, maybe.

- GIRL: Don’t you have school?
- DAKOTA: Not until morning.

Where were you?

Where was I what?

Tonight. Denise’s.

Oh, I guess I forgot. I’m sorry.

Oh, I was worried.

Why?

Well, for starters, you’re not studying,
you’re not sleeping,

you’re barely keeping a C average,
it’s 1:00 in the morning,

and you’re at freakin’ Jim’s.

Hey, leave Jim’s out of this.

And you make a C average
sound bad.

Beth, seriously, I’m fine.

I am fine.

Kev, will you please
tell your girl to straighten up?

Well, she’s sitting right there.
You tell her.

All right, fine. We’re doing another
S.A.T. thing on Thursday night.

Will you please just come?

Oh, wow. Yeah. That’s amazing.

I got to piss. Could you scoot?

Thanks.

You piss more than a girl.

Well, fuck me with a stiff midget.

Yo, T!

Holy shit, dude!
When the fuck did you get in town?

How did I know
I’d find you assholes here?

Broadway Danny Rose.

- Hey.
- Good to see you.

You too, man.
Good to see you, Terry.

GIRL:
Oh, Jonah! It’s been so long!

JONAH:
Yeah, yeah. How you been?

- GIRL: Oh, good, good.
- JONAH: Nice.

This is um… [Snaps fingers]
…uh… fuck… Beth,

and this is my girlfriend Dakota.

- Girls, I give you Jonah Moreno.
- Nice to meet you!

It’s a pleasure.

Hey, Heather! Cup of coffee?

Sure thing, Jonah.

Black?

This is so weird.

- When did you get into town?
- Uh, last night.

- I started driving Sunday.
- You drove across country?

This kid’s crazy.

Jonah’s from New York.

My name is Jonah,
and I’m a starving actor.

Jonah’s, like, one
of my best friends, too.

I thought I was your best friend.

You are, baby.

How long are you in town for?

Tell I get sick of you fucks.

Ha-ha. That’s my boy.

I was looking to get
into some trouble tonight.

You guys got to do anything
tomorrow morning?

Dude, fuck that. I’m down.

Let’s go get lifted. We’ll drop off
Dakota on the way home.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

- You think Bobby would be down?
- Dude, Bobby’s always fucking down.

JONAH: Good night.
DAKOTA: ‘Night.

JONAH:
It’s nice meeting you, Dakota.

DAKOTA: Yeah, you too.
What are you guys gonna do tonight?

[Coughs]

DAKOTA:
Ugh!

God damn it. It’s hot.

[Schoolbell rings]

[Car horn honks]

Hey!

Hey. What are you doing here?

Kev called. He said band practice
is going really well.

He didn’t want to break it off.

Oh.

Get in the car.
I’ll take you over to Jacob’s.

No, you don’t have to do that.
It’s fine.

Don’t be retarded.

Okay.

[Music plays softly on car radio]

Thanks.

So, you guys had fun last night?

So high.

I’d never seen that look on Kevin’s
face until you walked in the door.

What look was that?

Joy.

That was just stoner anticipation.

I don’t think so.

Are you fucking my boyfriend?

No!

You have a girl back East?

Nothing serious. Just…

I don’t know.
No one that makes me…

Horny?

Happy? Hungry?

No. Plenty of that.

I don’t know.

No one that makes me…

…vibrate, I guess.

Vibrate?

You know,
when you’re with someone,

you just want to be filled up
with this, this energy,

you know, you just want to…

…I don’t know.

DAKOTA:
You gotta vibrate.

I guess.

I know.
I don’t bullshit, right?

Not at all.

So, how long have you
and Kevin been going out?

Nine months.

That’s got to be a record for him.

Me, too.

So, what’s he calling the new band?

[Snickers]

Brookhaven Three.

Aren’t there four people in his band?

I don’t know.
I don’t get it, either.

Well, I’m glad to see
he’s still playing.

Yeah, they sound
pretty good, actually.

But don’t tell him I said that,

because I’m trying really hard
to appear apathetic.

We were in a band in high school.
Did he tell you that?

Dude, up until the other day,
I didn’t even know you existed.

Well, we sucked. I sucked.

- Really?
- Yeah, believe me.

I do.

[Rehearsing loud rock music]

Stop. Dude, stop.
Jacob, stop! What, are you deaf?

KEVIN:
Dude, are you fucking deaf?

I’m sorry.

Fuck.

Well?

That sucked.

Yeah, I know, dude.
It’s our second go at it.

We’d be better if our fucking drummer
could keep up with the beat.

You guys know any covers?

I mean, maybe you
could get some wedding gigs.

[Giggles]

Oh, keep laughing over there,
Dakota.

You’ll be laughing real hard
when I’m balls deep in groupies!

- Oh, we got a show on Sunday.
- I’ll be there.

Fuck, yeah, you’ll be there. You guys
want to hear some better shit?

- Do you have anything better?
- Fuck you. Say yes.

All right, bitches. Try to keep up.
That means you.

[Drummer leads introduction]

“Dearest Dakota,
at the conference until Friday.

There’s cash in the usual spot,
and I love you. Mom.”

- What are you gonna get?
- I don’t know yet.

I don’t know what I want.

You’re gonna get
the chili cheeseburger plate

and the vanilla Coke…
that’s what you always get.

That’s not true.

Yes, it is.

You always think you’re
gonna get something different,

but when Heather
comes over here you still say

“chili cheeseburger plate
and a vanilla Coke”…every time.

Well, maybe tonight
I’ll get something different.

JONAH:
I used to love this place…

…more than my own home.

You guys still like it here?

Dude, it’s Jim’s.

You?

Yeah, sure, I guess.

I don’t know, man.

You can’t even smoke here anymore.

HEATHER: Hey, kids.
You’re eating with us tonight?

Yeah, I want hash browns.

And a chocolate shake.

And how about you, special guy?
Chili cheeseburger? Vanilla Coke?

- Uh, yeah.
- HEATHER: Amazing.

- De Niro?
- Biscuits and gravy.

- Can I get a fill-up on the coffee?
- Absolutely. Be right back.

Thank you, Heather.

Love that girl.

Good night.

Good night, Dakota.

DAKOTA:
Good night, uh…

[Motor revs]

Okay, Skye, there’s got to be
a logical explanation.

So, he hasn’t lied once

in the two days
that you’ve known him.

This doesn’t mean anything.

He’ll lie soon enough.

I’m sure he’s just like the rest of us.

Ambulatory is to Mobile
as Fruitful is to:

Nefarious, Fertile,
Munificent, or Pernurious?

Fertile!

Good.
Okay, Dakota…

Hmm?

Intrepid is to Valorous
as Multitudinous is to:

Prostrate, Flagrant,
Plethoric, or Static?

- Are you speaking English?
- Come on. Try it.

I don’t know any of those words.

Okay. Well, just think
of their relation to each other.

Intrepid is to Valorous
as Multitudinous is to…

“B.”

No, sorry. It’s “C.”

Damn it all to hell!
I’m not fit to live among men!

Dakota, you just
have to try and study…

Um, maybe we should
take a break, okay,

and we’ll pick this back up
at Denise’s later.

Thank Christ.

I want to touch
I want to kiss

I want to feel so close to this

Is there any way
That someone could feel the same

If I promised them everything…

You look like shit.

- Yeah. I’m okay.
- What did you guys do last night?

Just fucked around.

Smoked a little pot, went to Noel’s,
played some video games, whatever.

We were just hung out and
stayed there last night, you know?

His floor is, like,

crazy uncomfortable, though.

It sucks.

Wow, that sounds like a lot of fun.

Whatever.

Hey, I can’t stay out late
tonight, all right? I got to study.

That’s cool.

Fuck this.
Time to get this guy to lie.

So, do you watch a lot of porn?

A sizable amount, I guess.

Why?

‘Cause I was over
at Bobby and Noel’s,

and they were watching this porn
about these Asian girls

and a dildo that can only
be described as epic,

and it was really gross.

They said that they knew that, though,
that they thought that it was gross

that they watched it
because it was funny.

- They’re lying.
- No shit.

Really?

Porn is purely functional.
It’s not entertainment.

It’s functional?

Yeah, porn has a singular purpose
in its existence.

It’s a tool, an aid, a catalyst
in the act of pleasuring yourself.

Jerking off for guys is so casual.

It’s like, you know, we don’t
want to be bogged down

coming up with some sort
of scenario or something.

Pop in a video, open a magazine,
stream it online…

bam, done,
on with the rest of your day.

- What?
- Nothing.

So, how often do you do this?

- Lots.
- Oh.

Who has time to be embarrassed?

[Kevin sings quietly to himself]

Oh, shit.

Dude, did I play you guys
our new song yet?

[Demo plays]

Yeah?

The son-of-a-bitch doesn’t lie.

What kind of a guy doesn’t lie?

This is really starting
to get on my nerves.

[Demo continues]

Hey, I can have Kevin take me home.

Not this shit again.

[Motor revs]

What?

Do you got anywhere to be?

Enigmatic is to Inscrutable
as Surreptitious is to…

Not really. Why?

I haven’t hiked up Papago
since I was a kid.

One time me and Kev came up here
after school, and we fell asleep,

and then a park ranger comes,
closes the place down, right?

I talk to much, don’t I?

No, I don’t mind.

You, on the other hand,
are a woman of few words.

No, I talk.

Yeah, but you don’t say much.

Nothing personal.

Prove it.

Passions, goals, turn-ons, turn-offs?

All right.

My turn-ons are cigarettes, ’70s punk,
boys with rings in their lips,

and long, pointless walks up rocks.

Three for four.

Turn-offs?

Pretty much everything else.

Yeah, I get that.

Give me an example.

Here, I got one.

All my friends can talk about
are the S.A.T.’s, right?

About “college is this”
and “my future that.”

I mean, fucking shit, like,
do I really have to go to college?

Like, what if I want to knit
fucking baskets or fucking…

or wait tables at Jim’s or something?

I mean, do I really have
to get a higher education for that?

Like, what degree
do you suggest I get for that?

I mean, Jesus-fucking-Christ, man!

Oh, shit.

Are you, like,
a Bible nut or something?

You can talk, can’t you?

Yeah, well…

…it sucks.

It does suck.

What did you get on your S.A.T.’s?

- Like 1350 or something.
- Oh, my God!

- Honest.
- I believe you.

All right. Come on.

Are you hung over today?

I was this morning.

Really?
What did you guys do last night?

Got real high and went to a bar.

That’s it?

Talked to a couple of girls
who blew us off

for these Abercrombie-model dudes
who said they had coke.

Now, don’t worry.

Kev was a good boy.

No, he…

He can talk to who he likes.

Sure.

He played me the demo.
It was good.

Yeah, it’s really good.

It was good the first time I heard it.
It was good the hundredth.

He’s really proud of it.

Almost makes me sorry
I quit our old band.

How far down do you think that is?

I don’t know.

Far.

Huh.

What?

Okay. All right.

Imagine you threw yourself
from here, all right?

Your, your wife leaves you,
your stocks bottom out,

Beatles break up.

You know
that already happened, right?

Yeah, whatever.

So, imagine you take it
upon yourself to jump.

DAKOTA:
Okay.

On the way down, which way
would you rather be facing?

You’re a weird guy.

I get that.

No, but really, I mean, would you
rather be looking back up at the sky,

no idea when the end is gonna hit?

Or would you rather go face-first,

aware of the moment
when everything cuts to black,

knowing that this second
is your last?

Face-up.

Face-up?

Yeah, just kick back
and enjoy the ride.

I’d want to see it coming.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I’d want to see it coming.

Thanks for the ride.

You ever get the urge to just…
get in the car and drive?

I mean, nowhere in particular,

just to take control of your life
for a moment?

You know, to make a choice,

even if that choice
is to not make a choice?

I don’t drive.

- Right.
- Good night.

‘Night!

[Car door slams]

- Hey, Dakota?
- What?

Never mind.

Come on! I hate that!
I really hate that!

I hate it when guys do that!

They want you to know
they want to say something,

but they’re too afraid
to actually say it,

and then try to bait you
to ask them!

- I’m sorry.
- Do you wanna say something, Jonah?

Yes.

What is it, then?

Well, what is it?

I can’t tell you.

Why not?

- Because I can’t.
- Ugh, fine!

I want to tell you that I like you.

But I can’t tell you that, can I?

I want to tell you to forget about him.

He’s a great guy, the best,

and he’s my brother
in everything but blood,

and you two are good together,
but I still want to tell you

to tell him to fuck off
and to be with me.

I want to tell you
that since the moment I met you

I can’t even get your face
out of my brain.

But I can’t tell you that,

that all I want right now
in the world

is to take you away with me.

No him, no here, no this.

Just us.

If just for a day. You know?

But I can’t tell you that.

I mean, you can’t make me.

I mean, what kind
of a person would I be

if I went and told you
something like that?

I’d appreciate it if…

…if you didn’t tell Kevin
what I didn’t say.

Of course not, because…
you didn’t say it.

No.

No, I didn’t.

Good night.

Good night, Dakota.

Who does he think he is
saying those things,

or “not” saying those things?

Seriously, who does
something like that?

Does he think he can just
make up some speech

that I’m sure he’s practiced
over and over again in the shower

and I would just… I would just?

Seriously, who does
something like that?

- So, you ditched us again last night.
- Yeah, I guess I did.

Denise almost had a fit.

Denise is to annoying
as Dakota is to doesn’t give a fuck.

- We were worried.
- What, Mom, am I grounded?

Jesus Christ, you can be

a mean little bitch.

What?

I mean, honestly,
we’re just trying to help, and…

Yeah, I know that. I’m sorry.

What makes you think that you’re
so much better than the rest of us?

Ah-ha! The key dilemma
in any young superhero’s life…

Does she reveal
her identity to the world

or does she keep it a secret,

assuring her security
but also her alienation?

BETH: Hello?

Look, I don’t know, all right?

You’re just… you’re way
ahead of me, that’s all.

I don’t… I don’t think
about the future much.

Why not?

Because… there’s
nothing I can do about it.

There’s nothing you can do about it.
It is what it is.

I don’t know why I even
bother with you anymore.

Because in the third grade we made
each other friendship bracelets.

You’d be surprised how much
this stuff is actually true.

Say you were gonna jump
off of a building, all right?

I’m sorry, why would I do that?

Just imagine that you’re gonna
jump off of a building, okay?

No. Why would I do that?

I don’t know. Whatever.
The band breaks up.

We’ve broken up,
like, a thousand times.

- Okay, maybe I break up with you.
- Well, that’s not gonna happen.

Say it was your dick
in a motorcycle accident.

[Whistles]
Yeah.

Okay, I’m with you. Shoot.

All right. So, you’re gonna jump.

Would you rather land
face-down or face-up?

What does it matter?
Dead is dead.

- God, does it have to be my dick?
- But it does matter.

Face-down, you’re facing the end,

you’ll know the exact moment
that you’re gonna hit the ground.

Face-up, though, you can just
kick back and enjoy the ride,

enjoy it while it lasts,
and let the end sneak up on you.

[Sighs]

Face-up.

Face-up?

Wow, you’re really, like,
fucking up my high.

It’s, like, whoa!

- I’m sorry.
- That’s okay.

- Want some?
- No!

Sorry.

No!

No!

[Dials phone number]

[Cell phone rings]

Hello?

Hey.

Hi.

Um…

Come over.

- No.
- No?! What do you mean “no”?

I mean no.

- First you’re…
- Listen, there are rules.

- I can’t just…
- And now you’re just gonna…?

Oh, wow.
Okay, whatever. That’s fine.

No.

No, no, no!

[Silence]

I’ll be there in 10 minutes.

[Disconnects phone]

Oh!

Drive.

I said “drive.”

- Where?
- I don’t care where. Just… far away.

If you had just one

Let me be that love

If you have lots of others

Please let me be

Please let me be one

Let me be one

If you like undressing

Please let me find out

If you like large intestines

Please let me find

Please, please, please
Let me find out

Let me find out

Or if you’re gone
For weeks on end

Crazy situations

And don’t know
Why you drive through cars

In dirty, foreign towns

Please let me find out

If you shield your eyes

For glory every time

And drag your mouth to smile

And sickness is your cover…

Why did we stop?

Couldn’t drive any further.

That’s a big fuckin’ hole.

That’s a Grand fuckin’ hole.

JONAH: We always find ourselves
looking down on things.

I think that’s a thing for us.

Why is that?

DAKOTA: Well, it’s our obvious
superiority above all others.

- Sorry.
- For what?

I don’t know if that
was the right thing to do.

In fact, I know that was not
the right thing to do,

but I wanted to, anyway.

What are we gonna do?

I don’t know.
This is pretty bad.

- This is so bad.
- Yeah.

- I just feel like…
- I know.

Hey, how about this?

How about let’s just pretend
like this is all a dream, okay?

Okay.

And nothing that we say or do
counts in the waking world,

and out there, I mean,
we might be horrible people,

but right here in our dream,
you and me, this is all okay.

- Just for today.
- Just for right here and right now.

You know, eventually we’re gonna
have to wake up from this dream.

Yeah, but not right now.

Not for a little while, anyway.

So, I think I’m falling in love.

Involuntarily blessed with something

people spend their entire lives
searching for.

Lucky me.

Are you tired?

Tell me again why you don’t drive.

Uh, I don’t have a license.

Why not?

Because I always had a ride.

And you don’t have
a cell phone because…?

Somebody might call it.

You know, something
just occurred to me.

We’ve been gone almost 24 hours.
Aren’t your parents gonna freak?

My mom’s out of town.

And your dad?

My dad died when I was little, so…
I think we’re in the clear.

JONAH:
I’m sorry.

It’s okay.

It’s cancer. It happens.

I guess…

If you say “I guess
that explains a few things”,

you lose a testicle.

I wasn’t gonna say…

I don’t date older guys
looking for Daddy.

I don’t. I’m not looking
for a father figure.

I have a dad.
He’s just not here anymore.

That would have really
put me in my place

if I would have said anything.

I’m sorry. I just…

Kevin just always…

Never mind.

[Sighs]

[Traffic passes]

[Door opens, closes]

Told you.

- You want the tour?
- Yeah. Mm-hmm.

Kitchen, dining room,
den, living room…

Hold on. Follow me.

Hallway.

Oh, goodness! My room!
How did we get in here?

Do we have to wake up yet?

JONAH: I can’t do this.
DAKOTA: But we already are.

We can’t.

- I know, but I want to.
- Oh, God. So do I.

- We can’t.
- We can’t.

[Jonah sighs]

[Telephone starts ringing]

Hello?

KEVIN: Hey, where
have you been all day?

I’ve been studying at Denise’s.

You comin’?

What?

What do you mean, “what”?
To the show. Hello?

Oh, yeah! Of course!

Fuck, yeah, of course.
Can you do me a favor?

- Yeah, sure.
- Do you have Jonah’s number?

Yeah, yeah.
I got it somewhere.

All right, well, could you
give him a call for me, then?

Okay.

All right. Cool. Well, hook up
a ride with him to get here,

- because I’m already at the show.
- Okay. Bye.

[Disconnects phone]

[Jonah sighs]

I guess it’s time to wake up.

Yeah.

My heart beats more slowly

But you’re not here to hold me

Baby, it can be so Ionely

Is it any wonder why I love you

You’re beautiful, so beautiful

They’re jealous, so jealous

You’re beautiful, just beautiful

Is it any wonder why I love you

[Instrumental interlude]

My heart beats more slowly

But you’re not here to hold me

Baby, it can be so Ionely

Is it any wonder why I love you

Oh my heart beats more slowly

But you’re not here to hold me

Baby, it can be so Ionely

Is it any wonder why I love you

You’re beautiful, so beautiful

They’re jealous, so jealous

You’re beautiful, just beautiful

Is it any wonder why I love you

Thank you, thank you.
We are Brookhaven Three

from Scottsdale, A-Z.

[Cheers]

I’ve got a little surprise
for you guys, tonight.

Dakota, come up on stage.

Yeah, that’s you.

Come on. Let’s go.

I’m gonna do a cover for you guys

of a song you probably
never heard before,

but you’re gonna hear it now,
so enjoy it.

Jake…

Some days I feel affected

And it all disappears

The rain and clouds
Above my head

BOTH:
And it all disappears

I’d understand it
If I could grab it

Another wish on my list

BOTH: One more day
We’ve made it through, now

Got my list, got my list

One more day
We’ve made it through, now

Got my list, got my list

Got my list

Some days I feel protected

And it all disappears

Breathe as two
But think as one

And it all disappears

I’d understand it
If I could grab it

Another wish on my list

One more day
We’ve made it through, now

Got my list, got my list

One more day
We’ve made it through, now

Got my list, got my list

One more day
We’ve made it through, now

Got my list, got my list

One more day
We’ve made it through, now

Got my list, got my list

Got my list

Got my list

Got my list

[Cheers and applause]

Well?

What can I say?
Motherfucking rock star.

Fucking straight, dude.

JACOB:
We’re out.

DAKOTA: You guys
did a really great show.

Peace, brother-man.

Good show, dude.

KEVIN:
Jim’s?

BETH: Hell, yeah!
Can you give me a ride?

JONAH: Yeah.
BETH: Thanks. Let’s go.

I didn’t know you could sing.

I can’t.

- Beg to differ.
- So, what were you doing today?

Huh?

I can’t remember the last time
you said you were studying,

with Denise, no less.

- Yeah, I was studying for the S.A.T.’s.
- Oh, look at that.

My little braniac.
What about you, punk-ass?

I must have left you,
like, 500 messages.

- l…
- HEATHER: Hi, guys. What’ll it be?

- Coffee.
- Coffee.

Coffee.

Well, damn. I’ll get a chili
cheeseburger and a vanilla Coke.

- Of course you will.
- Thanks.

What were you saying?
Where were you today?

Um, I went and I was…

Kev, you were
so good out there tonight!

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

- Thanks.
- Yeah. You rocked the house, dude.

Yeah, make you sorry
that you quit the old band?

Oh, hell no! Don’t believe
this motherfucker for a second!

You didn’t quit the band! We kicked
him out because he sucked!

Bad?

Bad? On a scale of 1 to 10,
he was, like, negative 142.

I thought you said
you quit the band.

KEVIN: Hey, yo, Terry!

What kind of douche-bags
come to Jim’s at 2:00 in the morning?

This some S.A.T. study group?

Nerd.

- TERRY: Later, guys.
- KEVIN: Have a good night, Terry.

JONAH: Later.
‘Kota, do you need a lift?

KEVIN:
No, I’ll take her, man.

BETH:
Um, could I get a ride home?

JONAH: Uh, yeah.

BETH: ‘Night, guys.

- KEVIN: Can I come inside?
- DAKOTA: No, not tonight.

- Why? Your mom home?
- Yeah. No. I mean…

- Then, what?
- I have school in the morning!

Oh, come on.

I’m still so amped up
from the show, from the concert.

Come on!

Don’t you want to fuck a rock star?

Yeah. I hit that shit last night.

Like I fucking care

if I pass that stupid class.

Just stayed home

and played video games.

Right now I’m really just trying

to concentrate on my work.

Same as ever. I don’t get it.

He didn’t quit the band.
They kicked him out.

Why didn’t I know that?

I have to do something about this.
I can’t tell when he’s lying.

He could have been lying
this whole time.

Hey, Chris. It’s Chris, right?

Okay.

So, I’ve been poring
over these things all night,

and I’ve learned two things.

One, despite
all non-scientific knowledge,

an intense dose of radiation
won’t kill you.

It’ll just make you big
and green and cranky.

And two, every superhero
has a weakness,

something that brings them down
with the rest of the mortals.

Maybe that’s it!

Maybe Jonah is my archenemy,

the one being out there
that can nullify my superpower.

Has our heroine
finally met her match?

Find out next month in…

[Telephone rings]

[Sighs]

Hello.

Take that, bitches!

What’s my score?

DAKOTA: 140.

And what’s yours?

DAKOTA: 56.

God, you suck!

Bowling’s my favorite non-sport.

So, are we gonna
do this all night or what?

Do what? Bowl?

Not talk about this.
About the other night.

- Yes.
- Yes, what?

Yes, we’re gonna
not talk about this all night.

I think I’m in love with you.

- What?!
- No, fuck that.

I’m absolutely, positively
in love with you.

I said I love you.

How do I know?

- Well, for starters, I just told you.
- Yeah, but how do I know?

I guess you’re just gonna
have to trust me.

You see, that’s it. I don’t know
how to do that, trust you.

Excuse me?

Ugh.

I don’t know how to do that.
That’s the problem.

I guess I thought
that I would have earned it by now.

Don’t you see?
That’s the problem.

I…

How do I know?

It’s really hard to explain.

It’s not that hard.

[Sighs]

Fucking hell.

I’ve known him since I was 9.

He used to steal the lunch money
from the kids who stole mine,

and we’d go buy fireworks.

First car I ever drove was his.

Lit my first cigarette.

Had a lot of firsts with him.

Now, it’s the first time I’ve ever
tried to steal anyone’s girlfriend, so…

…guess it fits
that I go through that with him, too.

Do you love him?

I don’t know.

Do you love me?

If I knew the answer to that,

I’d probably know the answer
to the other.

You’re right not to trust me. Look
what I’m doing to my best friend.

- It’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s just…
- No, no. It’s cool.

I understand.

Let’s go.

- Where are we going?
- Home. It’s late.

Aristocrat is to Imperious
as Supplicant is to:

Cowardly, Awkward,
Servile, or Arrogant?

Give me the choices
one more time.

Cowardly, Awkward,
Servile, or Arrogant?

Servile?

- Very good!
- Fuck, yeah!

Bring on the bull-shit, S.A.T.’s!
I’m-a fuck them up!

So…

…how’s Jonah?

I don’t know.
You’d have to ask him.

Uh-huh.

- What?
- Nothing.

Let’s trade secrets.

No.

I’ll tell you a secret,
then you tell me one.

- No.
- Come on. It will be fun.

Like we’re at a slumber party.

Okay. I’ll go first.

Bookstores make me
have to go shit.

- What?!
- Yeah, I don’t know what it is.

I can’t be in a bookstore
for more than, like, 15 minutes

before I have to go.

- That’s disgusting!
- Oh, come on!

Maybe it’s some repressed
Barnes & Noble trauma

deep in my childhood,
but it happens without fail.

- I sit next to you in English!
- Okay. Your turn.

No!

Come on! That was
really embarrassing!

You have to give me something.

Dude, that is your own
damn problem.

One of many, it seems.

I know about you and Jonah.

What about me and Jonah?

That you were together all day
Sunday and then lied about it.

Bookstores?

Seriously, I was joking about that.

I’m perceptive, you know?

I can tell when people are lying.

Come on. Let me just…

…be your friend for once.

I’d really like to.

He likes me, and I like him.

More than Kevin?

Different than Kevin.

I understand. Jonah is a good guy.

Have you guys…?

No.

Kind of.

Almost.

But it doesn’t matter,

because all I have to do
is wait a few more days, right,

and then he’ll be gone,
and then the decision makes itself.

Only if you let it.

- You want to know what I think?
- No, not really.

You need to make
that decision for yourself.

Don’t take the easy way out,
or you’ll regret it.

Well, I’m pretty sure I’m gonna
end up regretting something

when this is over,
no matter what I do.

The only thing that bugs me more
than when Beth shares secrets

is when Beth is right.

This is a decision
I have to come to myself.

I can’t just ride this out
and accept the default answer.

Predictable
doesn’t always mean boring.

Lust doesn’t always mean love.

Near doesn’t always mean close.

New doesn’t always mean exciting.

Different doesn’t always mean better.

Far doesn’t always mean distant.

Knowing everything
doesn’t make you wise.

Knowing the truth
doesn’t make you superior.

Knowing your problem
doesn’t solve it.

Sitting between
your past and your future

doesn’t mean you’re in the present.

What did you think?

Sucks.

Yeah.

I’m leaving. Going home.

- When?
- Now.

What do you mean, “now”?

Now, like this minute.
I can’t be here.

Please don’t go.
I don’t want you to.

Yeah. I know.
That makes two of us.

But I think you’re
trying to make a decision,

and I’m gonna make it easier on you.

I’m eliminating myself as a choice.

So, a great fucking movie, or what?

It sucked!

What the fuck?
Are you deaf, dumb, and blind?

That movie was amazing, dude!

Kev, I’m gonna
head out of town tonight.

What the fuck? Why?

I got to get back… stuff to do.

Why didn’t you say
some shit earlier, dude?

We could have planned
a party or something.

I know. It’s cool.

I’m with the only people
I want to see.

Dude. All right, bro.

KEVIN: Well, good seeing you, man.
JONAH: You too.

I love you, bro.

- You too.
- All right.

- Bye.
- Bye.

[Quietly] I’m sorry for coming in
and fucking up your life.

See you later, kids.

Well, I guess I know where you’ll be
if we ever break up.

- What?
- “What?”

A couple more seconds in that hug,

and I’d have to fucking
drop-kick his ass.

DAKOTA:
You’re stupid. Shut up.

You know, he’s a really good guy.

I like him.

Me, too.

Come on. Let’s go.

Did you notice something funny
about Jonah tonight?

Like how?

I don’t know.
Like, he looked all, like… sad.

- Yeah, I suppose he did.
- Yeah.

I haven’t seen that look on his face
since we asked him to quit the band.

I thought that you kicked him out.

Kicked him out, asked him to quit.
Same thing. Whatever.

DAKOTA THINKING:
Same thing. Whatever.

Want to go bowling?

Not really.

[Clears throat]

Want to go back to your place?

My mom came home today.

DAKOTA THINKING:
Same thing. Whatever.

What?

I know that I have to
make a choice,

regret it or not.

I choose to be alone.

I choose to jump face-first,

to not just kick back
and enjoy the ride.

I choose neither my future
nor my past, but my present, my now.

So, it turns out senior year sucked
a little bit less than junior year,

and Beth is still, well, Beth,

still obsessed with college
and careers and all that shit,

but we’re friends again,

not because we are, but because
we actually like each other.

There are even times
when I don’t mind

being able to see
through all the bullshit.

I mean, what the hell
am I supposed to do, you know?

It is what it is.

And there are
a lot of liars out there.

Now I’m just starting to do
something about it.

Same thing. Whatever.

Those three stupid words
that Kevin said to me that night

managed to drive a spear

right through the middle
of my entire world view.

What if there’s
no black and white in this world,

no good and no evil,

no right and no wrong?

What if there are no lies…

…and no truth?

What may be a lie to one person
may be completely true for another.

Beth tells me
this is called relativism.

I don’t know.
Sounds like an S.A. T. word to me.

All I know is my headache’s gone,

my friends seem to like me again,
and, well, I’m happy,

involuntarily endowed
with something

people spend
their entire lives searching for.

Lucky me.

- Shouldn’t you be studying?
- Mom, I’ll be fine.

- Remember, keeps your hands at…
- 10 and 2, Mom. I know.

There will probably be
a few trick questions on the test.

Mom…

Your father would have been
a much better driving instructor.

I like the one I had just fine.

Well, I tried.

And you succeeded.

ANNOUNCEMENT:
Now serving B52.

- Is that you?
- No.

You know, you never did tell me

why this sudden urge
to get your license.

I got sick of relying
on people for a ride.

Well, I don’t want you
driving at night.

- Okay.
- ANNOUNCEMENT: Now serving B21.

Oh, that’s me!

Wish me luck, okay?

Remember to put your seat belt on.

Okay. Close enough.

My name is Dakota Skye.

I am 18 years old,
only medium-cute,

and I have a superpower.

Okay, maybe
a little cuter than medium.

Somehow

I’m leading someone else’s life

I cut a star down

With my knife

And right now

I still see the way the moon

Plays this tune

Though our lights died

My hands shake

Every superhero has a nemesis.

It’s every day

Someone that negates her powers

and brings her down
amongst the mortals.

Then came you

And as you

Keep your picture

Someone that makes her
no more than human.

Then came you

When I’m lost

Look at my picture of you

And somehow

I’ll make tonight our own

Show you every way I’ve grown

Sometimes I think I made him up,

And I reached out through the ether,
through the haze,

and tapped him
on the shoulder and said,

“Hey, please, come wake me up.”

I’ll learn the parts and play along

If you let me

Every superhero has a nemesis.

My hands shake

Mine is a cute
stoner boy named Jonah.

My knees quake

It’s every day

The same way

‘Cause then came you

Then there’s you

I keep your picture

In my worn-through shoes

Then there’s you

Then came you

When I’m lost

I look at my picture of you

If you let me

I’ll show the world to you

Yes, if you let me

Tell me you love me.

The India Arie songs that she identified as being for me and for my relationships were really accurate this time and I was surprised…I listed to one of the songs that she said was me and Craig and it brought me to tears.

So here I share “He Heals Me” By India Arie and dedicate it to Craig McCreath: My Love and Best Friend Forever.

He heals me
Told him my biggest secret
And he told me four.
He smiled at me and said that makes me love more
And then he made me laugh
And I knew it was a sign
That he was a man,
That I wanted in my life

And with every passing day
I feel more and more of that way

He heals me
He knows the real me
And he accepts me, he never hurts me
He heals me
He knows the real me
And he accepts me, he never hurts me
He heals me,
He heals me

I can play him songs, all through the night,
And he will listen to every line,
And even when I’m wrong, he is still kind
He chooses his words wisely when he tells me I’m not right.

And yes he is a beautiful man,
But he is also a beautiful friend

He heals me
He knows the real me
And he accepts me, he never hurts me
He heals me
He knows the real me
And he accepts me, he never hurts me
He heals me

The moment that we met, he made me smile.
He has so much compassion in his eyes
I have no idea, how long he’ll be here
A season or a lifetime, forever or a year
But for the first time in my life I’m not worried about the future
Because we have such a wonderful time when we’re together
However things turn out, it’s all right
Cause he’s already changed my life.

He heals me
He knows the real me
And he accepts me, he never hurts me
He heals me
He knows the real me
And he accepts me, he never hurts me
He heals me

Ouh ouh ouh

[Chorus:]
From the west to the east I have flown to be near you
I have come all this way to be close, to be here with you
And now, all my heart I will lay down precisely at your feet

Ouh ouh ouh
My beloved, oh my sweet
All the gifts you have given me
The patience and the peace,
Cherry blossoms and the candy,
I am yours, I am yours
For as long, for as long as you will have me

Ouh ouh ouh
Dearest one, I had a dream
I mouthed the words, the sound came out,
I spoke to you in Japanese
Oh, my love, I cannot see, I heard your name
I know at once there was no place I’d rather be
All at once there was no place that I would rather be

[Chorus:]
From the west to the east I have flown to be near you
I have come all this way to be close, to be here with you
And now, all my heart I will lay down precisely at your feet

Ouh ouh ouh
My beloved, oh my sweet
All the gifts you have given me
The patience and the peace,
Cherry blossoms and the candy
I am yours, I am yours
For as long, for as long as you will have me

I packed my bag, I’m on my way
I am prepared for any season
I am prepared to stay
Here is my heart, my beating heart
Oh, how I’m longing for this love affair to start
[ The Bird And The Bee Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
How I’m longing for this love affair to finally start

[Chorus:]
From the west to the east I have flown to be near you
I have come all this way to be close, to be here with you
And now, all my heart I will lay down precisely at your feet

Ouh ouh ouh
My beloved, oh my sweet
All the gifts you have given me
The patience and the peace,
Cherry blossoms and the candy,
I am yours, I am yours
For as long, for as long as you will have me

For as long, for as long as you will have me

From the west to the east
All this way to be close
All my heart

Tami + Jake | Engagement from Ryan Southwell on Vimeo.

So I’m doing my regular thing…surfing the net and reading some engagement stories on theknot.com…when I come to this story about Tami and Jake and there is a link to a video on Vimeo…when I get to the site not only am I shocked to see that it is an amazing video but I also see that my OWN BOYFRIEND has added the videos to his favorites… The main question I have is why is my boyfriend looking at engagement videos????

Note to Craig: I WANT TO DO THIS…lets hire THIS GUY….he’s REALLY good.
Plus the song is GREAT!

This one goes out to you and yours
worldwide
I say hey I’ll be gone today
But I’ll be back all around the way
It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see
the less I know
But I know one thing
That I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you

I’ve been a lot of places all around the way
I’ve seen a lot joy and I’ve seen a lot of pain
but I don’t want to write a love song for the world,
I just want to write a song about a boy and a girl
Junkies on the corner always calling my name
And the kids on the corner playing ghetto games
When I saw you getting down well I hoped it was you
And when I looked into your eyes I knew it was true
I say Hey I’ll be gone today
But I’ll be back all around the way
It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see
the less I know
But I know one thing
That I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you

Now I’m not a highly metaphysical man
But I know when the stars are aligned you can
bump into person in the middle of the road
look into their eyes and you suddenly know
Rocking in the dance hall moving with you
Dancing in the night in the middle of June
My momma told me don’t lose you
‘cause the best luck I had was you
I said Hey I’ll be gone today
But I’ll be back all around the way
It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see the less I know
But I know one thing
That I love you
I love you
I love you
I love you

And I said rocking in the dance hall moving with you
I said Hey momma hey momma close to you
Rocking in the dance hall moving with you
I said hey papa, hey papa close to you
Rocking in the dance hall moving with you
I said Hey Momma close to you
Rocking in the dance hall moving with you I said
hey momma, hey momma, hey momma, hey momma
hey momma, hey momma, hey momma, hey momma
what you gonna do?

My momma told me don’t lose you
Cause the best luck I had was you
And I know one thing that I love you
I said I’ll be gone today
but I’ll be back all around the way
It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see the less I know
I said I’ll be gone today
but I’ll be back all around the way
It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see the less I know
But I know one thing that I love you
I love you (3x)
I love you (3x)
I love you (3x)olor1=0xb1b1b1&color2=0xcfcfcf&hl=en&feature=player_detailpage&fs=1″ type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” allowfullscreen=”true” allowScriptAccess=”always” width=”425″ height=”344″>

If it is Right it’s right.

If you let me love you, my well… i will adore you.

The night and the day will be flared-up

Angels will bring us tenderness

Las flores nos vestiran de dulzura
The flowers will dress us with sweetness

Chorus:

Contigo voy a soñar con que rubes
With you, i’ll dream that you blush

Contigo voy a pasear en las nubes
With you, i’ll walk in the clouds

Contigo voy a pasear en las nubes
With you, i’ll walk in the clouds

Contigo voy a pasear en las nubes
With you, i’ll walk in the clouds

Amooooooooor… en las nubes
Looooooooooove… in the clouds

Good article:

Take the leap today, girls

Scottish tradition has it that on February 29 a woman has the right to propose marriage to any man she likes – and if the would-be husband refuses, he’s liable to a 100 fine.

But marriage counsellors and wedding industry experts say modern women aren’t waiting for a leap year any more.

Instead, they are increasingly likely to pop the question themselves – and choose the ring.

The leap year day tradition stems from the fact that February 29 was not a real day and had no status in English law, therefore normal customs had no status either.

It was commonly believed that in 1288 Queen Margaret of Scotland had decreed that any woman could propose to any man she liked and he could only refuse if he was already engaged.

Subsequent searches of the acts of the Scottish Parliament have failed to unearth convincing evidence that this unusual decree was issued.

Women popping the question to their partners is no longer regarded as anything out of the ordinary.

Internet provider AOL conducted a survey of 7000 people that found 59 per cent of women and 48 per cent of men thought women who proposed were modern and confident, rather than “scary or intimidating”.

And Bride To Be magazine editor Amelia Bloomfield said their research showed that 60 per cent of couples chose the ring together.

“I think women feel that they want to be more involved,” she said.

Little wonder, when the average cost of an engagement ring is now $2500.

Australian Institute of Family Studies researcher Lixia Qu said 72 per cent of Australian couples now lived together before tying the knot – a “tremendous increase” over the past few decades.

Her research found, conversely, that the longer couples stayed together, particularly after the five-year mark, the less likely they were to expect to get married.

 Gilbert and Sullivan devotees in Sydney are holding a once-in-four- years party today to celebrate the birthday of one of the characters from The Pirates Of Penzance.

Frederick’s birthday brunch, at Balls Head Reserve at Waverton, is being organised by members of the Savoy Theatre at Chatswood.

The character Frederick was born in a leap year and is trapped by a contract that won’t release him until his 21st birthday – but he’d be 100 because of the leap year anomaly.

Tonight I blame my lack of motivation to sleep on the thoughts of how much I’ve been missing the opportunities to talk to Craig, along with my anxiety about having to go to summer fest for a week. Considering the current circumstances of Sheona McCreath passing I’d say that Craig’s not being available is understandable and very appropriate. I’m thinking about my relationship with Craig and how we act when we are around each other, I’m trying to figure out if I actually can play the role of his best friend and his girlfriend. I found myself longing for the ability to comfort him in the perfect way that a best friend should. I want to have the skills or to be accessible to him enough for him to know that he always have a shoulder to cry on, or an open ear to listen in me. I wish I knew as  much about Craig as he does about me and that I could help him through this hard time.

In my sleepless sulk I find myself wandering to you tube just to be able to see a glimpse of Craig and I as we were when we were both happy together and when life for us was perfect and everything was for us as it should be. I really remember being able to truly laugh and smile while I was around Craig, something that I haven’t naturally done here back in America for a long time.

I watched a lot of videos I’d taken over the past few years and I realized that I take the time to try to capture life when it is good,  so that when it changes it can be remembered. I wonder if after losing his mother Craig will be able to return to the same fun and loving person I’ve known for so many years. I wouldn’t want any dark shadows of sorrow taking away the Craig I know and love from me any more than it currently has.

Four videos in particular cheered me up from my sorrowful and sleepless mood…they actually made me laugh and smile again for the first time since I heard the news about Craig’s mom on my birthday yesterday morning.

three of the videos are by me and one video is by someone with a related topic as one of my videos. I considered simply posting these videos on facebook  for others to enjoy as I do and calling it a night, but I think that it is important especially this quickly during such a depressing and sad time  in Craig’s life that I give an explanation to why I think I should feature these.

When I am with Craig I feel like a kid again, innocent and blissful. I try to play as I think a child plays with a close friend or playmate. As a child I never had any playmates to grow up with and I feel that Craig has given me the opportunity to try to relive those fun years or trying new things and being playful and daring. It interesting that this is happening to me now at a time when I feel that people should start treating me as more of an adult and mature enough to handle things like alcohol, sex and renting out a place to live on my own.

This first video was something that made me smile because it was something that I tried with Craig that she both seemed to enjoy and did out of boredom and that I can remember was true fun.

we decided to take up lip syncing:

or practicing for a Christmas greeting video

When I came across a video of Craig sexy eating it made me think of some of the wonderful small fun moments we had together that I hope will never go away now.

the sexy eating led me to a video that also made me smile
