The waves keep on crashing on me for some reason
But your love keeps on coming like a thunderbolt
Come here a little closer
'Cause I wanna see you, baby, real close up
(Get over here)
You've got me feeling hella good
So let's just keep on dancing
You hold me like you should
So I'm gonna keep on dancing
A performance deserving of standing ovations
And who would have thought it'd be the two of us
So don't wake me if I'm dreaming
'Cause I'm in the mood come on and give it up
You've got me feeling hella good
So let's just keep on dancing
You hold me like you should
So I'm gonna keep on dancing
You've got me feeling hella good
So let's just keep on dancing
You hold me like you should
So I'm gonna keep on dancing
Ooh yeah yeah
Ooh yeah yeah
You've got me feeling hella good
So let's just keep on dancing
You hold me like you should
So I'm gonna keep on dancing
You've got me feeling hella good
So let's just keep on dancing
You hold me like you should
So I'm gonna keep on dancing
Keep on dancing
Keep on dancing

Ok, today was a bust. I called in sick again for work. I feel look like shit. Feel like shit. I think my sickness has gotten worse. But how can that be when I've been taking my medicine (in adequate dosages), getting my vitamins and drinking honey lemon everything?! This is what I get for not listening to my mother. Fuck. I'm not even going to class tomorrow. And probably not work either. Fuckkk.

The Mixed Tape
This is morning
That's when I spend the most time
Thinking 'bout what I've given up
This is a warning
When you start the day just to close the curtains
You're thinking 'bout what I've given up
Where are you now?
As I'm swimming through the stereo
I'm writing you a symphony of sound
Where are you now?
As I rearrange the songs again
This mix could burn a hole in anyone
But it was you I was thinking of
I read your letter
The one you left when you broke into my house
Retracing every step you made
And you said you meant it
And there's a piece of me in every single
Second of every single day
But if it's true then tell me how it got this way
Where are you now?
As I'm swimming through the stereo
I'm writing you a symphony of sound
Where are you now?
As I rearrange the songs again
This mix could burn a hole in anyone
But it was you I was thinking of
And I can't get to you
I can't get to you
I can't get to you (you, you)
Where are you now?
As I'm swimming through the stereo
I conduct a symphony of sound
Where are you now?
As I'm cutting through you track by track
I swear to God this mix could sink the sun
But it was you I was thinking of
And where are you now?
And where are you now?
And this is my mixed tape for her
It's like I wrote every note
With my own fingers
--------------------------------
Today is the first time I called in sick for work... well, at this job. What did I do today? I slept, ate, and slept some more. I tried to study, but failed miserably. I read about five pages. But in those five pages, I've learned about anxiety disorders, phobias, and OCD. One thing that I've learned is how I think I have a very very minor sort of social phobia. Let me provide you with some evidence...
"[Social phobia is the] excessive fear of engaging in behaviours that involve public scrutiny... Underlining social phobia is an excessive fear of negative evaluations from others... people with social phobia often worry about their social presentation, and are frightened of doing or saying something humiliating or embarrassing... people with social phobia tend to see themselves as not being good as others... tend to be severely critical of their social skills and become absorbed in evaluating their own performance when interacting with others. Social phobia is apparently more common among women than men. [People with social phobia] may eat lunch at their desks to avoid socializating with co-workers. Or they may find themselves in social situations and attempt a quick escape at the first sign of anxiety... People with social phobia often turn to tranquilizers or try to "medicate" themselves with alcohol when preparing for social interactions. The roots of social phobia may begin in childhood. People with social phobia typically report they were shy as children" (Nevid et al, 2006, p.183-184).
-- Nevid, J.S., Greene, B., Johnson, P.A., & Taylor, S. (2009). Essentials of abnormal psychology in a changing world. Upper Saddle River: Pearson Education, Inc. (Yes, I sourced in my blog xD)
Ok, in order to be classified as a person with social phobia, it has to significantly impact my life, in which it doesn't. I will not enter a room when people are already seated. I try to avoid parties when there's a lot of people. I try to avoid presenting in front of others. I am always concerned about my social presence. When things get awkward, I usually walk away. I was definitely a shy kid. I tend to consume more alcohol to make me feel less awkward. And, I have to sometimes practice conversations when addressing authority. And there you have it. A glimpse of how socially awkward Anita is.
Alright, it's gotten to about 1am now. I hope that tomorrow, I will feel better. Hopefully, not call in sick. Although, I am quite tempted... Anyways, I'm off. Goodnight.

Wonderful
If I fell in love with you
Would you understand me, dear
Love is weird
I colored you a valentine
Struggled just to stay inside the lines
I lose my mind
I really can't believe
I lost myself again
Looking for something crazy
Beautiful love and nothing now
I'm talking in circles again
Have my love, baby
Are you hungry for wonderful
'Cause I am, wonderful 'cause I am
I wrote a song about your eyes
Ate a slice of cherry pie
I cried all night
On the bench inside the park
I'll kiss you slowly in the dark
I'll never stop
I really can't believe
I lost myself again
Looking for something crazy
Beautiful love and nothing now
I'm talking in circles again
Have my love, baby
Are you hungry for wonderful
'Cause I am, wonderful 'cause I am
Baby take me for a ride
Maybe get a little high
In a place we've never been
Time is nothing but a line
We leave everything behind
It'd be so wonderful, wonderful
Looking for something crazy
Beautiful love and nothing now
I'm talking in circles again
Have my love, baby
Are you hungry for wonderful
'Cause I am, wonderful 'cause I am

Wow, it's been a while since I blogged. Usually, it's 2 days, 3 days max. Haha, but it's not like I have a giant readership. Anyways, school is going. But I find myself ditching school work for RCG work. For those who don't know/are still confused as to what I do at school, check out www.rcginsight.com. But it's so bad. I'm skipping class. Ahh. So bad. They're equally time consuming. But I guess one doesn't constrain me to a lecture hall and allows me to check facebook whenever I want. Anyways, at RCG, we recruit students in the business program every semester with our hiring campaign, which is this time of the semester. This is how the process usually goes: classroom presentations, emails, emails, information sessions, resume review, first round interviews, second round interviews, hire. Anyways, in the past, our hiring methods haven't exactly been objective. In turn, I had to somehow convert the subjective to objective. With my handy recruitment and selection class I took last semester, it's helping me quite a bit. It's just a lot of work to create resume screening, interview, and interview evaluation documents. Almost done. But not quite.
My other than my life being full of work, nothing much really has gone on. I just got sick. That sore throat was the beginning of the end. Not quite, but I'm sure you understand. It just feels horrible to the point that I want to curl up into a ball, cry a little bit, and die. My throat hurts, my nose keeps running, and is beginning to hurt because I'm wiping my nose too much. I have random giant tear-enducing coughing fits. And to add to that, I haven't been getting adequate sleep the last few nights. I'm super tired and feeling like shit. That's enough of my complaining.
Onward, I've missed We The Kings and The Cab. Why?! That's all I can say. Boo.

Miles Away
I just woke up from a fuzzy dream
You never would believe the things that I have seen
I looked in the mirror and I saw your face
You looked right through me, you were miles away
All my dreams, they fade away
I'll never be the same
If you could see me the way you see yourself
I can't pretend to be someone else
Always love me more, miles away
I hear it in your voice, miles away
You're not afraid to tell me, miles away
I guess we're at our best, miles away
So far away, so far away, so far away, so far away
So far away, so far away, so far away, so far away
When noone is around then I have you here
I begin to see the picture, it becomes so clear
You always have the biggest heart
When we're 6.000 miles apart
Too much of no sound
Uncomfortable silence can be so loud
Those three words are never enough
When it's long distance love
Always love me more, miles away
I hear it in your voice, miles away
You're not afraid to tell me, miles away
I guess we're at our best, miles away
So far away, so far away, so far away, so far away
So far away, so far away, so far away, so far away
I'm alright
Don't be sorry, but it's true
When I'm gone, you realize
That I'm the best thing that happened to you
You always love me more, miles away
I hear it in your voice, miles away
You're not afraid to tell me, miles away
I guess we're at our best, miles away
You always love me more, miles away
I hear it in your voice, miles away
You're not afraid to tell me, miles away
I guess we're at our best, miles away
So far away, so far away, so far away, so far away
So far away, so far away, so far away, so far away
So far away, so far away, so far away, so far away
So far away, so far away, so far away, so far away
So far away, so far away, so far away, so far away
--------------------------------
I have so much to do but don't want to do any of it. Haha, what else is new. On another note, while not doing the work I was supposed to do, I watched the entire first season of True Blood in a day and a half. For those who don't know what True Blood is, it's a show that stars Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer (fun fact: they're a couple on screen and off). Anyways, the story takes place at a time where vampires have come out of hiding because they don't have to feed off humans anymore because of a synthetic blood drink, called True Blood, created by a Japanese company. The story surrounds a girl, named Sookie Stackhouse, who has an unusual ability to hear the thoughts of others. She works at a bar and grill called Merlotte's. One night, a vampire named Bill enters Merlotte's. Despite the unwelcomeness of everyone at the restaurant, Sookie decides to approach Bill to fulfill her curiousity of vampires. Later on during the night, two locals capture Bill and move him into the woods to drain his blood (because it's highly valuable and acts as a stimulant for humans). Sookie hears the thoughts of the kidnappers then goes on a search to find Bill and saves him. Bill decides he owes Sookie his life by vowing to protect her always. And the story goes from there... Yes, it's about vampires, and no, its not the same as Twilight. It's better.
Anyways, since season 2 is not out yet, I hope that I will be slightly more productive tomorrow.
