Song Lyrics to Live By

Isn't Love Hewitt the chick? Aside from the fact that she broke up with Carson Daly in such a cruel way, I mean. Hmm... still wondering about that one... Oh well. The girl has some good songs! These are some song lyrics by her that I wish more people would take to heart like I do. I've listened to the song repeatedly, and think of it every time I see something that breaks my heart. It keeps me at least semi-strong. :-)

"I Believe in Love"
By Jennifer Love Hewitt

I saw the news today
A teenage boy blown away
Another mother's lost her only son
He learned his way at school
That fighting is the golden rule
For twenty dollars, you can own a gun

I saw the words in red
Someone painted "Love is dead"
On the sign above the football field
I had to turn away
It hurts my soul to think that way when love's what's real

'Cause I believe in...
I believe in love
And I believe in the miracles in us
And no matter what they say
They can never take away what I believe in
I believe in...

In 1942, a demon army trampled through
Every inch of her forgotten town
Her family hid away
A secret place above decay
And there they lived and breathed without a sound
She learned to write that year
Of every scream she dare not hear
And every tortured soul she'd one day meet
One day the soldiers came
And marched her family to the train
And left her diary lyin' in the street
And it read...

I believe in...
I believe in love
And I believe in the miracles in us
And no matter what they say
They can never take away
What I believe in...
I believe in...

Why is it that we can't help but look for
The crack of light
In the darkest skies?
When will we learn to understand
That we were right and wrong?
Love's the only thing that's real

So, here we go again
Fighting till the bitter end
Better off to go our seperate ways
And as you slam the door
I swear that I will love no more
But you can't believe a word I say
And that's right

'Cause I believe in...
I believe in love
And I believe in the miracles in us
And no matter what I say
It can never take away what I believe in...
I believe in..

I believe in...
I believe in love
And I believe in the miracles in us
And no matter what they say
It can never take away what I believe in
I believe in love
Love's the only thing that's real

Better Baby Names

Sarah and Zach have been arguing about baby names, and should they ever get married, they are going to have some serious problems naming their kids. Sarah likes names like Aubrey, and Zach thinks that sucks (I do too, actually). Zach likes normal names like Steve and Jennifer. But Sarah doesn't like normal names (I don't either, really).

I've been into baby names my entire life, and I like names like Autumn, Ivy, Jesse, and Scott. They're not real common, but they're not real unusual either.

Yup. So, that's my piece for the day.

--"Holy" Holly ():-)

Giddy as a school janitor! Or, i mean, girl!

You know, I woke up a while ago feeling really inspired and thrilled half to death about the idea I had for my story!

Now I'm just too grossed out to write. Sarah and Zach are making out and it sounds icky. I'm no longer jealous of them, they're just... gross to listen to! My *pets* even seem disgusted.

Welp... there's only one thing to do at a time like this... compare deserts to famous guys! WOO HOO!

Jamal Woods from Port Charles: Tiramisu, that awesome frozen cappuccino cake stuff from the Olive Garden.

Nick Lachey from 98 Degrees: Baked apple pie with melted caramel and butterscotch from Chili's.

Brian Littrel from the Backstreet Boys: My grandma's homemade gingerbread men! Hee hee... what a cutie.

J.C. Chasez from 'N Sync: Rich, sweet, yummy chocolate cake from Bill Knapps.

Eminem... Marshall Mathers: All that desert I ate that I am now throwing up.

Yep... that about does it.

Everyone's favorite Grandma Z. impersonator,

Top Ten Reasons I'm Not President

I couldn't figure it out! You know, I filled out a resume and a job application, and for some reason, I haven't been elected president. I heard something about some Gorey guy and a Bushey fella', but everyone should realize, I would make the best president! Just look at the stuff I'd do if I were president...

10. Instead of meat, people would eat strawberry Twizzlers because eating meat would be illegal, and Twizzlers are good.

9. I would insist that my dog, Chyna, be vice-president.

8. No matter how important an announcement was, I wouldn't interrupt ABC soaps to say it.

7. Whatever work I had to do, it'd be put off until I got my dose of Daria in for the day.

6. The news would be interrupted for special Daria-related reports such as, "Fellow Americans, Diane Long has written a new Daria fan fiction. Stop watching the news like a bunch of losers and read it."

5. The Census surveys would ask questions like, "What's your favorite show?" and "If you were stranded on a desert island with two different boy bands, which boy bands would you want?"

4. The National Anthem would be changed to "Horoscope For Today" for "Weird Al" Yankovic.

3. All Elvis impersonators would be altered slightly... they would be Johnny Bravvo impersonators.

2. Guys with stupid names like "Aubrey" would be forced to change their name to "Ed" because Ed is a good name.

1. Abortions for some, tiny American flags for others!

Now, why didn't I get elected? I just can't understand it...

I'm Inspired! I Must Start a Business!

My mom taped Once and Again for me, and I watched it last night. I was *so* good! Lily's sister has this book store, and she was going to have a "matchmaking night." She took pictures of a bunch of single people who loved books, and hung their pictures on the wall, along with their favorite book and why it was their favorite. Lily's sister is single herself, though, and when she saw all the couples getting hook up, she felt sad that *she* wasn't hooked up with someone. That hit a bit close to home... I hooked Sarah and Zach up, and now I'm sad when they kiss. But check it out! If I started my own matchmaking service, I'd be in the business of romance... my favorite thing in the whole world! And I don't think I'd be as lonely watching couples hook up that I don't know!

Last night, I went to work on my matchmaking idea, but I'm going to write a story about fictional people starting a matchmaking service first. The matchmaking service these people run is called "Inevitably United" and I made a big poster for it. Maybe I'll scan it and put it on my web site later. These people I made up, Shane, Miriam, and Kayle hook people up through this service according to their favorite TV shows. Shane's into shows like Norm and Drew Carey, Miriam's into show's like Daria and The Simpsons (like me, hee hee), and Kayle's into soaps like One Life to Live and General Hospital.

I also had another idea. I've been designing prom and wedding dresses since I was about four years old (I've been a hopeless romantic my whole life), and recently, people have been telling me that my drawings are actually good! I thought if I could start my own prom dress designing business, and call it "Prominade," that was rule! Hopefully, I can find a way to start these businesses. I have no idea where to go to ask someone how I would do this! Maybe my school counciler would know, or something. Welp, talk to ya later!

GAAAH! What a creepy dream!

Oooookay, that was weird. I just woke up, and I had this really freaky dream that seemed too real for comfort, and now I'm all jumpy, which sucks.

In the dream, my family and friends were trying to figure out who this mysterious local murderer was. Sarah, Zach, Bobby and I all went to the mall to try and look for this murderer in a Mystery Machine type of van.

When we got to the mall, we saw that they'd added an "America Online" store and that it had a small line to wait in. We decided to go there, but when I got up to the front of the line, I saw that my friends had left me, and that the line was now circled in police tape, and a cop greeted me at the door. That freaked me out really bad, so I ducked under the police tape and ran to find my friends. As I was running, I noticed a dark ally that had never been at the mall before, so I went to check it out (for some stupid reason). Suddenly, someone grabbed me from behind, and I immediately assumed it was the killer, and my whole life flashed before my eyes. But then he let me go, and I turned around to see that it was Bobby who had grabbed me. I was like, "Bobby, what are you doing?!" and he said, "Let's go. We've got to get to your dad's house right now."

When we got to Dad's house, Sarah and Zach were sitting in the living room, surprisingly not making out like they usually are. I sat next to Sarah on the couch, and the next thing I knew, Bobby drew a gun on us and aimed it at me. Zach jumped up and tried to pry the gun away from him, but Bobby pulled the trigger and shot Sarah. She screamed and I started crying when I saw the blood gushing out of her arm. Zach rushed to Sarah's side, and I got up and glared at Bobby, who said, "Zach's next." I asked, "What can I do to make you stop?" and he said, "Go out with me." Hello?! Before I found out he was an insane murdering psycho, he was the one who wouldn't go out with *me*! I looked at Sarah and Zach again, and then back at Bobby, saying, "Okay." He kissed me, and I was actually enjoying it, but thinking, "This guy shot my best friend! He's killed people I go to school with!" when suddenly, I heard a gun shot. He had shot Zach. I begged Bobby to let me call the cops, but he reminded me that they were all at the America Online store, investigating the murders he had commited. No matter what I did, I couldn't save my brother and best friend.

Dear... God... that was... creepy. I don't know what that dream meant, but I've gotta find some place that does dream analysis. *Shudders*.

Holly's Double

The theme of the week pretty much says, "What costume would best represent your personality?" Why, I'd have to say a Rosie O'Donnel costume. Everyone hates her, but I can't figure out why! But check it out... we both sing out of nowhere all the time, we both know the words to every single song, we both have been addicted to ABC soaps, and quote our favorite shows and movies all the time. It's fun to be like Rosie O'Donnel.

I didn't go as Rosie O'Donnel for Halloween, though. I was going to be Andrea from Daria, but I couldn't find the right wig, so I was just a gothic chick. My friends dragged me trick-or-treating for our last year even though we're too old, and it was retarded 'cause I got tired.

Another one I could do is Evil Holly. All I'd have to do is put a goatee on my chin and be like, "Hi, I'm Evil Holly."

Okay, see ya.
