Tell me I'm not the only one...

Please, tell me that I'm not the only person who hates to disappoint their parents. I have an application essay to write, and my dad is so angry that I'm writing it five days before the due date. He literally said to me "I am very angry with you." Sometimes, he makes me so angry, and yet, I can't bear to have him so angry at me. Does it make sense to you? I just want to know that this doesn't happen only to me.

"For the First Time" by The Script

"We're smiling but we're close to tears" ("For the First Time"- The Script)

I am seriously starting to believe that some people have the ability to read minds. The Script (one of my favorite bands) recently came out with this song, and it kinda makes me feel like they're following me or something. That's only one line, but I swear that almost everyday I have to put on a big smile and pretend that I don't give a damn that my best friend is going out with the guy I've liked for three years. Ugh...

But do me a favor, look up this song, and maybe a few others by the same band, because I know you'll fall in love with them. Just like I did...

"The Road Not Taken"

"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

And took the other, just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads onto way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two rods diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."

-Robert Frost

This is probably one of my favorite poems. Just Sayin...

Snow...

Have you ever noticed, that at night, when it snows, in the neighborhood, it's completely and totally silent? I'm not talking about just regular silence, like the silence you hear every other night. I'm talking about how, it could be only 10pm, and there is not a single sound, almost as if the snow is muffling everything. Or maybe, all the noisemakers (birds, bugs, people, cars), seem to notice that it is in fact snowing, and they sort of stop making the noise to admire it. Then, once they realize that they aren't making any noise, they don't really want to start again, because they don't want to break that peaceful silence. I'm Just Sayin...
