If You Dont Get It

we don't think we're special sir we know everybody is.

About Me


Wow keeping up with profiles isn’t very fun. But it needs to be done. Otherwise people’s judgment of you is based on false data, or things that may not be true anymore. Mostly I am pretty much the same though. I did however, finally get to meet most of the guys in The Academy Is... which is a band that is quickly becoming one of my top ones. They were all real sweethearts espiecially Sisky and Bill (there are pics in my albums and my profi pic). I also got to meet the delightfully pleasant Demetri Martin and have him sign my cd/dvd. He was so adorable and nice to all of his adoring fans (ie mostly just me). He was super down to earth, I think I'm in love ♥ I am now attending Saint Louis University. I don’t think I put as much effort into the whole college thing as other people do though. I mean I don’t have like new best friends or anything, and the only “club” I belong to is the student activities board (mostly because they put on concerts which are like my lifeblood) I’ve met some cool people, got into the whole facebook thing, but I haven’t had any real college experience. Mostly because I’m kind of square and I won’t allow myself to get drunk, or do any kinds of drugs (yet). Things that haven’t changed: Rob Thomas is still my god (even though he has made me cry several times in the past year, but other gods have made thier people cry too, maybe I haven't been making enough sacrifices), I still live in Saint Louis (can’t leave this hellhole), Art Alexakis is still the sweetest guy I have met but Gabe from Cobra Starship is catching up on sweetness! (I’m still holding out for John Mayer), I am still a mudslinger too and now I can even practice my craft at SLU since they have a department and I do work study with the ceramic stuff too.
Yea I’m pretty much the same girl as I was a year or so ago, only now I have a few more scars and stories to show for it.
My middle name is Marie: I was named after an actress on the soap opera "Days of Our Lives": I enjoy spelling certain words wrong such as, "hott","nite", and "thru":I love all candy that is toffee like, because toffee is the most underrated candy in the world::I don't believe in a single god, and I have given up looking for a set of beliefs:Sometimes I don't know what to say, but I say something anyway, but I am getting better at saying nothing at all:I love to sing and dance naked in my bathroom and shower, it's the only time I feel completely free:I am in an Everclear state of mind, most of the time:Sometimes I need to listen to southern or midwestern style hip hop,I just get the urge:I always think I am beautiful until I look into a mirror:My big dream is to be rich, famous, beautiful, with a great husband and family, but I know dreams rarely ever come true:I often drive with one hand or none at all, and in the summer sometimes it's barefoot because driving in flip flops sucks:I am frightened of the future but I can hide it well:I think the most attractive part of myself is the space between the top of my eyes and the bottom of my nose:

Everything We Had by: The Academy Is...
You were the only face I'd ever known
I was the light from the lamp on the floor,
and only as bright as you wanted me to be.
But I am no gentleman, I can be a prick,
and I do regret more than I admit.
You have been followed back to the same place
I sat with you drink for drink.
Take the pain out of love, and then love won't exist.
Everything we had, everything we had,
everything we had, everything we had
Is no longer there.
It was the only place I'd ever known.
Turned off the light on my way out the door.
I will be watching wherever you go,
through the eyes of a fly on the wall.
You have been followed back to the same place
I sat with you drink for drink.
Take the pain out of love and then love won't exist.
Everything we had, everything we had,
everything we had, everything we had
Is no longer there, longer there.
Well, you saw for yourself, the way it played out.
For you, I am blinded.
For you, I am blinded, for you.
I am no gentleman, I can be a prick.
And I do regret more than I admit.
You have been followed back to the same place
I sat with you drink for drink.
Take the pain out of love, and then love won't exist.
Everything we had, everything we had,
(you have been followed, you have been followed.)
everything we had, everything we had.
(you have been followed, you have been followed.)
Everything we had, everything we had,
(you have been followed, you have been followed.)
everything we had...
I'll be with you wherever you go,
through the eyes of a fly on the wall.
I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor

My Interests

Music, Touching Celebs, Vanilla Ice Cream, Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, Eating Chinese Food, Ceramics, Neopets, Ruining My Hearing By Blowing Out My Eardrums At Concerts, Being an Over-achiever, Writing (lyrics and otherwise), Becoming a Rock Star

I'd like to meet:

John Lennon(He was one of the greats, and I am sure talking to him for 5 minutes would inspire me for my entire life), Yoko Ono(I think I am the only person who doesn't blame her for the breakup, I blame Paul, and plus I just wanna hear about her life experiences, they have to be great), Rob Thomas(He is who I aspire to be someday, He's my idol), Chuck Klosterman(The greatest writer ever, we speak the same language of sarcasm and wit and our conversations would be glorious), John Mayer(Since I've met Art now, I am thinking John would be the sweetest guy I've never met). Someday down the road everyone will meet everyone that ever lived.

Music:

To make it easier on myself, I decided to alphabetize this list so I can easily find a band before adding them again and having them listed twice. I will however, have my top three on top, out of alpha order, because they deserve it. OK here it goes,
Rob Thomas and his affiliations (Matchbox Twenty, Solo work, Tabitha’s Secret, etc.)
Everclear (both new and old)
John Mayer (including the John Mayer Trio)
Now on to alphabetizing. Also as a side note- I left out "the" in band names.
