Merry Christmas!!! (Even if it is a day late...)

To any and all of my readers, I'd like to say, "MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!" I hope you had a wonderful holiday and aren't planning on re-entering the world of reality too soon. Enjoy that break! :)

Sorry!!

Wow, I have no excuse for my absence! School and work has slowed a little for now but the holidays are keeping me busy! I will try to remember to update more often than I have!

I have just recently discovered Once Upon A Time -- which instantly became my favorite TV show. I am dying to see the next episode!! I'm not sure if I can wait until the 8th of January! James/David has to be my favorite character so far. But, who doesn't love Prince Charming? :) Josh Dallas plays this role perfectly! <3

Also, if you haven't heard... Adam Cappa is amazing! His EP "The Rescue" is FANTASTIC and I simply cannot wait to hear the full album when it releases in March! Go check out Adam's website now!  >>CLICK HERE<< Don't forget to watch the music video for 'The Rescue'!

Well, I know it's been a while but this will have to be all for now. I have shopping to do, presents waiting to be wrapped, cards needing to be signed, and considering Christmas is in 3 days, I'd better get started!

Howrse Post

Hey, hey! Okay, if you got here from my profile page from Howrse, then this post is especially for you!!! :) First off, I want to give a big THANK YOU!!!!!!! to all of the player who congratulated me. I tried to congratulate all of you back but I want to apologize because I probably missed a few...Sorry! *EDIT* I just got Cochise!!! :) Thanks again!!

Anyone Want to Help??

Okay, so I REALLY feel like writing a fanfiction story that's either North and South (Elizabeth Gaskell) or Pride and Prejudice (Jane Austen) - but I'm leaning more towards N&S... However, I have run into a problem, and the problem is such: I cannot come up with a good plot line. I don't want to do a continuation (as in, starting where the book/movie left off) and I don't necessarily want to write a long, drawn out novel either. I'm really thinking of doing a "What If" scenario but have yet to come up with one. Anyone feel like helping me? Please comment below with ideas!!  Or you can email me --- madisonlayah@yahoo.com --- and I'll take either P&P or N&S. I promise I'll post it here when I finish writing it!
Thanks in advance! :)

Again, From a Song

Yes, yes, it's another From a Song post!

Why can't you see you belong with me? All I can think is 'we should be together.' My thoughts will echo your name until I see you again. I'll spend forever wondering if you knew I was enchanted to meet you.

All songs by Taylor Swift- taken from:
You Belong With Me
Jump Then Fall
Enchanted

I Can't Believe It!!

For real? It's been so long and I apologize for my absence-- part it had to do with work, another part with school, and, most recently, with the fact that my computer crashed and I've just now gotten it back to normal. Once again, I apologize and I promise to resume posting at least once a week. Thanks for understanding! :)

One more thing- two days ago the 'Kings and Queens' EP by Joshua Schiffman was released! You can now find it iTunes and a few other places. Check out Joshua's post about K&Q here: http://joshuaschiffman.wordpress.com/2011/10/05/i-proudly-present-kings-and-queen-ep-now-available/

Cupid's Calling

NEW Joshua Schiffman song released today!!!! :) So excited! <3

Go to http://joshuaschiffman.bandcamp.com/track/cupids-calling-single to listen to 'Cupid's Calling'!!


Just to make things clear, I am not, in any way other than being a fan, associated with Joshua Schiffman or JoshuaSchiffman.com.

From a Song pt 2!

Here's my latest attempt at the whole From a Song (FaS) idea!
Note: All songs used are listed below but, unlike last time, I did not specify which parts came from which song. If you'd like to know, just leave a comment and I'll let you know!)

I got tired of waiting, wondering if you were ever coming around. My faith in you is fading. Why are we pretending this is nothing? We can't go on this way. I'd tell you I miss you but I don't know how and I've never heard silence quite this loud.

Love Story (Taylor Swift)
The Story of Us (Taylor Swift)
Round and Round (Selena Gomez)

9/11 Never Forget

It's a normal day
Normal things are going on
I board a plane
No second thoughts
Suddenly, a cry is heard
I lift my head to see the sight
My heart stops beating as I pray
"God, spare my country and bless my family"
~
It's not quite a normal day
Special things are going on
I lift my eyes
With lots of thoughts
Suddenly, a cry is heard
I bow my head to see the sight
My heart stops beating as I pray
"God, bless our country and let us never forget"

9/11

America,

Never forget the tragedies that took place.
Never forget the lives that were lost.
Always remember the sorrow we felt.
Always remember the impact it made.
Never forget to remember this day - the eleventh of September.

From a Song

As I was sitting around doing pretty much nothing - except for listening to music - I had this brilliant idea that I would try to write a diary entry just using lines from songs. No embellishing, no changing even one word. Just a line (three or more words) straight from a song to mix together along with lines from other songs (and even using more than one line from a song, as well) to express myself. But, since I found it a bit difficult to do, I started just making up random stories - not my own life - still using only lines from songs.

It's a fun exercise. Maybe you should try it! :) Please post your results here or email me at madisonlayah@yahoo.com and I promise that you'll get a BIG thank you from me!!


I'll be posting more of these as I write them so check back often!

Take to the sky and fly through the heavens. Take a breath and believe you can do anything. Keep on moving, don't worry about what's next around the bend. Close your eyes, enjoy the ride. Let's do it together. What do you say? Take my hand and walk this way. I'll make a wish for two and I'll imagine I'm dancing with you.

Songs used:
'Take to the Sky' (Jordan Pruitt)

'Come What May' (Britt Nicole)

'Can You Handle It?' (pureNRG)
'Simple Twist of Fate' (Joshua Schiffman)
'Wish for the Moon' (Rebecca De Mornay)

New Joshua Schiffman Song Released Today!!!!!!

Thoughts for Friday

Give a hug.

Give a compliment.

Give a high-five.

Simple things can make someone's day brighter.

If you can bring a smile to someone's face, do it! :)

Have a very blessed day, my friends!!!
