It's hard to walk out my front door now. There are people lurking just around the corner -I know it- waiting to capture me, torture me, and then possibly kill me. My parents, and unforunately, the world, have made me this way. It is hard to imagine going anywhere without the fear of someone wanting to hurt you, or a car not watching and possibly hitting me. It's scary out there.
Luckily for me, I am LDS-A Latter-Day Saint, more commonly known as a Mormon. I belong to The Church of Jesus Christ, of Latter-Day Saints. It is because I go to church every Sunday that I have HOPE that I will live that day. I have been promised many things-including safety-as long as I am doing what my religion considers as right (whether you do or not, that is up to you). I love my religion. Believe it or not, I enjoy going to church. I don't mind wearing skirts and/or dresses. It's so much fun! (Yes, I just said that).
But more than that, I have received hope in that there are good people out in the world. Like the man who just bought a new home in a nearby city. While looking through the attic, he found $4,500 in cash. Here is the story:
The previous owners of the house, a rather elderly couple, died. They left the house to their six children, who agreed to sell it. Unbeknownst to the children, their parents had hoarded money and left it in the attic. The father, wanting to show his two young sons that there are good people in the world, contacted the children, and asked them to gather (he didn't say why). He then revealed to them the money hidden in the attic.
So, yes, there are good people out in the world. And I just have to do the best. Here is a message, from our Presidency of our Church. Pres. Uchtdorf:
Happy Memorial Day!

Kings and Queens
OK, on the subject of obscure videos, check this out! This is 30 Seconds to Mars, and I first heard them on 'The Kill' (the video, I've heard, is not too good). But then this one came out: 'Kings and Queens'. I LOVE IT!!! I could fly to this song-if I could fly. But I really enjoy this one, seriously.
I'm pretty sure they don't swear in this song, they don't talk about sex/violence (I don't think), and the video is clean! There's one scene that this guy gets hit by a car (he's riding a bike), and it's a little.... loud, and startling, but no blood, no gore-CLEAN!!! I love it. So, here it is:
Kings and Queens!
(PS-the video is like two minutes longer than the actual song, but just FYI!)
Into the night
Desperate and broken
The sound of a fight
Father has spoken.
We were the kings and queens of promise
We were the victims of ourselves
Maybe the children of a lesser god
Between heaven and hell, Heaven and hell.
Into your eyes
Hopeless and taken
We stole our new lives
Through blood an pain
In defense of our dreams
In defense of our dreams
We were the kings and queens of promise
We were the victims of ourselves
Maybe the children of a lesser god
Between heaven and hell, Heaven and hell.
The age of man is over
The darkness comes and all
These lessons that we've learned here
Have only just begun
We were the kings and queens of promise
We were the victims of ourselves
Maybe the children of a lesser god
Between heaven and hell.
We are the kings
We are the queens
We are the kings
We are the queens

Florence + The Machine + The Apology
OK, I don't know what happened last time. I must've been depressed, which is not unusual because my house was in utter chaos not too long ago, and let me tell you, it causes stress and lots and lots of friction. Phew! But it's over now.
Moving on: there is nothing I like better than an obscure music video. So, here we have: Florence + The Machine. This song, 'The Dog Days Are Over' is interesting (to say the least). I like how it sounds a little 80-ish, but still new! I love new music, and, anyway... So, here it is!
Dog Days Are Over
Happiness, hit her like a train on a track
Coming towards her, stuck still no turning back
She hid around corners and she hid under beds
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled
With every bubble she sank with a drink
And washed it away down the kitchen sink
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming so you better run
Run fast for your mother run fast for your father
Run for your children for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind you
Can't carry it with you if you want to survive
The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses
Cuz here they come
And I never wanted anything from you
Except everything you had
And what was left after that too. oh.
Happiness hit her like a bullet in the back
Struck from a great height
By someone who should know better than that
The dog days are over
The dog days are gone
Can you hear the horses
Cuz here they come
Run fast for your mother and fast for your father
Run for your children for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your loving behind you
Can't carry it with you if you want to survive
The dog days are over
The dog days are gone
Can you hear the horses because here they come
The dog days are over
The dog days are gone
Can you hear the horses because here they come
