This past weekend my parents went to Utah and my little brother went on a hike to Zion's National Park. That meant that for approximately 3 days I had the house to myself! Which, if you didn't know already, I live with my parents. I live with them not because I'm socially incapable of living on my own and supporting myself but to help them out financially whilst our country is in the depths of this financial mess. Thank you Washington!
I digress...anyway, I was going to be home alone! I was so thoroughly excited about the prospect of being able to watch my reality tv shows, and do whatever I wanted to do.
Thursday night was the fateful night of departure for my parents. They left early in the afternoon so that they would make it to Provo, Utah before the sun went down. That meant that once I was done with work I would be driving home to an empty house.
Driving home at dusk, knowing that no one would be home, I was so excited! I was excited to walk in my front door and to turn on my television and watch Big Brother. Have you ever watched Big Brother? It is absolutely freakin' fantastic!! It is my favorite show on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. If you do watch it...how did you feel about Rachel getting evicted?!? Let me know!! lol
Suffice it to say I spent all weekend long watching one reality show after another. I went from Big Brother on Thursday night to The Real World: New Orleans, to Jersey Shore, to Design Star and the list could go on and on.
At one point in the weekend I was on myspace.com and I remembered they have Karaoke that you can sing and record yourself. Well, for those of you who really know me,you won't be surprised to know that I sat and recorded karaoke songs for hours this weekend. It made me laugh to record and then listen to myself over and over.
I then found a really cool option on the karaoke...you can listen to other people sing!! It was like my very own American Idol Auditions week. I have never laughed so hard and been so impressed by different people singing.
I also spent a little time on ldschat.com which is just some random lds chat room that I ocassionally will go on and laugh at how stupid some people are. Well, I ended up talking to this guy named Michael. Michael, is 32, and lives in Sydney, Australia. He seemed like a very decent, normal, guy. So, we started talking on Skype, and I have to say he is super cool. We talked for roughly 3 hours via skype over the course of the next couple days. He's pretty cool, but I'm not getting excited because he lives in AUSTRALIA!!! That is so far away it's not even funny. In fact, as I write this, it is 11:15 pm on 08.17.2010. Currently in Australia it is 4:15 pm on 08.18.10. He's a day ahead of me. He's cool so I'm not going to write him off quite yet.
I also have started talking to someone from Ely,NV. We are just going to call him Ely. Ely and I met on ldsplanet.com which is this lds dating website that I use. He is also 34(same age as Mr. Darcy) and he works for the prison up there in Ely. Which, if you don't know how to pronounce it is E-Lee. lol We have already made plans to hang out when he comes down to Vegas in September. His parents and family live down here. He actually will be coming down on August 26 but that is the day my sister and I are flying to Washington D.C. or we would have met up next weekend. So, I will keep you up to date with Michael, and Ely as things progress or digress.
I wanted to explain why I put the title that I did today. Whilst I was listening to myspace karaoke participants I heard many songs of love, sadness, heartache etc.
I realized that each and everyone of us has had or is currently experiencing either the joys of a new relationship or we are being haunted by the ghost of what could have been. We all have within us the innate quality to know when something is right or wrong. Whether we choose to listen to or disregard that feeling is up to us. I'd like to think that I choose to listen to the feeling but more times than not I feel that I am hiking a path that has yet to be marked as a path and that I am walking alone. I know that's not necessarily the case but that is how I feel. That's why I like the words of the song "Listen to your heart" by Roxette
"I know there's something in the wake of your smile
I get a notion from the look in your eyes
You've built a love but that love falls apart
Your little piece of heaven turns to dark.
Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile
The precious moments are all lost in the tide
They're swept away and nothing is what it seems
The feeling of belonging to your dreams.
And there are voices that
want to be heard
So much to mention but you
can't find the words.
The scent of magic
The Beauty that's been
When love was wilder than the wind.
Listen to your heart
When he's calling for you
Listen to your heart
There's nothing else you can do. "
