Fireworks

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag

Drifting through the wind

Wanting to start again

Do you ever feel feel so paper thin

Like a house of cards

One blow from caving in

Do you ever feel already buried deep

Six feet under scream

But no one seems to hear a thing

Do you know that there's still a chance for you

Cause there's a spark in you

You just gotta ignite the light

And let it shine

Just own the night

Like the Fourth of July

Cause baby you're a firework

Come on show 'em what your worth

Make 'em go "Oh oh oh!"

As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework

Come on let your colors burst

Make 'em go "Oh oh oh!"

You're gunna leave 'em fallin' down-own-own

You don't have to feel like a waste of space

You're original cannot be replaced

If you only knew what the future holds

After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed

So you can open one that leads you to the perfect road

Like a lightning bolt your heart will blow

And when it's time you'll know

You just gotta ignite the light

And let it shine

Just own the night

Like the Fourth of July

Cause baby you're a firework

Come on show 'em what your worth

Make 'em go "Oh oh oh!"

As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework

Come on let your colors burst

Make 'em go "Oh oh oh!"

You're gunna leave 'em fallin' down-own-own

Boom boom boom

Even brighter than the moon moon moon

It's always been inside of you you you

And now it's time to let it through

Cause baby you're a firework

Come on show 'em what your worth

Make 'em go "Oh oh oh!"

As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework

Come on let your colors burst

Make 'em go "Oh oh oh!"

You're gunna leave 'em goin "Oh oh oh!"

Boom boom boom

Even brighter than the moon moon moon

Boom boom boom

Even brighter than the moon moon moon

This song I chose because it's fun and

that's how I like to feel most of the time. Except

on the occasions that call for being serious.

Are you ready for more "get to know Meredith time"?

BUST OUT! (say that in a Michael Jackson "Oo-whoo" tone)

I am afraid of the dark.

I've seen enough scary movies in my life time

that it completely makes sense. Bad things usually happen in

the dark anyways.

I don't like walking by windows in the dark either.

Have you ever seen DARKNESS FALLS?

It's a scary movie about the tooth fairy.

If you see her face, SHE GETS YOU.

BUT only in the dark. SO the people jump from light to light.

I think it's smart.

Being alone doesn't bother me.

I eat lunch by myself almost every day.

Not that I'm not a "people" person.

Because I am SO a people person. One teacher in

junior high told me that I "could talk to a box of rocks!"

Ridiculous, yes? But oh so very true!

My all time favorite actor is Gene Kelly.

He sings, dances, choreographs, acts, and is handsome.

I also love Bing Crosby.

Love, love, love!!!

Some of my favorite movies are The Holiday Inn and

Singing in the Rain.

The movies and musicals that I like (besides all

musicals) are The Count of Monte Cristo,

The Pajama Game, The Music Man,

The Ocean's movies, White Christmas, and

much, much more. I love musicals the most though.

I make sound effects when I do things.

At work, home, and school. I get

weird looks, but sound effects make me happy!

I love dancing. I know how to country dance

and do flips and other tricks. It's so much fun!

I usually think of myself as "big". Like tall,

or bigger than a skinny, tiny, mini girl.

People at work compliment me on how "small" I am and how

fit that I am. I feel awkward though. I've never

seen myself as "hot" but as "cute". I like being cute.

So when people say they see me as "hot", is

completely weird to me. I say thanks, but

feel I make it awkward! haha!

I have, well, not the best hearing. When I was

very young, up until the age of 5 (or so)

I couldn't hear. I had to have tons

and TONS of surgery on my ears. Whenever

I go to the doctors and they look in my ears, they always

comment on how scarred the tissue is on the inside.

I would rather GIVE a gift, then RECEIVE a gift.

I hate thrift store shopping. I don't understand how such cute

girls can find CUTE and amazing clothes.

I never find anything. It drives me insane.

I'm blunt. I get that from my older

sister, Mombabe. She tells it like it is and so do I.

Speaking of Mombabe, she is one of my heroes. As are all of my siblings.

One story, that I'm not sure she remembers, was at girl's camp.

One year, the girls had been picking on me. I couldn't get

them to stop. Nothing worked. I told my sister Mombabe and

she let me stay with the girls in her cabin. She was a YCL.

I got to do pranks with her and see her in the skits.

I slept with her and she just talked to me until

we both fell asleep. She was the greatest

person to me when others were horrid.

Now I take her point of things and I don't let things get to me

as easily as I did. I grew up. And I'm grateful she was there for me that year.

I love sports. And the outdoors.

I like to get down and dirty. But either all of me or none

of me has to be dirty. It can't be just my hands.

I have C. D. O. It's like O.C.D. But the letters

are in alphabetical order like they should be. haha!

I think that statement is fun. It was on a bumper sticker. It's still

kind of true though. I have to have certain things straight.

And if something feels weird, I have to do it again.

Yeah.... That's enough for this post.
