So how can I ever try to be better? Nobody ever lets me in.

About Me


"Music is endless. Even though I've heard a whole bunch of music from so many different places, and fallen in love countless times with all kinds of music, there's still something... I guess it's just called freedom." -Jeff Buckley
Ngi Ne Themba. I Have Hope.
Hi I'm Cherilyn . I'm 18 years old. Means Nothing. Don't do much of anything.
"The best I advice I ever got was 'don't be somebody you're not' & it's hard to measure up but I think that I'm enough." -Kacy Crowley
My outsides looks cool, My insides are blue. Everytime I think I'm through, It's because of you. I've tried different ways, but it's all the same. At the end of the day, I have myself to blame. You can buy your hair if it won't grow, You can fix your nose if he says so, You can buy all the make-up that man can make, But if you can look inside you find out who am I to be in a position to make me feel so damn unpretty. -TLC
"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." - Dr. Seuss
“I was a geek I think in high school... yeah, I was.” - Ben Folds
She stares out across the waves as she’s digging in the sand & looks around her, & knows the crazy world would never understand.
There's not much to say about me really. I'm interesting. I'm funny (at times). I'm insane. I have friends that I love. At one time I had family I loved. I love music. and shopping. (Even though retail eats away at your soul). I love my puppy. I grew up in Staten Island, Ny. And soon I will be leaving this god forsaken place known as Phillipsburg, NJ =) That's pretty much it.
Oh yea, I almost forgot. So, I'm basically in love with these three boys you may have heard of. Their names happen to be Zac, Taylor, & Isaac Hanson. Yes, the Mmmbop boys. They are amazing and I've loved them for ten years. I can't see it ending anytime soon. Some of us Fansons are just lifers.
Hanson
Best Friend Since I Was 5 = Sara. Sara said this quote is perfect for us, and I have to agree, "I've got you then now and till the day after the last tomorrow." So many awesome times. "Grab A Pencil!".

jane be jane, you're better that way. not when you're trying; imitating something you think you saw. and if sometimes that might drive them away; let them stay there --you don't need them anyway. you're worried there might not be anything at all inside, but that you're worried should tell you that's not right. don't try to see yourself the way that others do; it's no use. you've had it harder than anyone could know, so hard to let it go. but it's your life and you can decorate it as you like beneath the paint and armour in your eyes the truth still shines. jane be jane.
Someday these will be our old days, Let’s make them worth our memory

My Interests


Live. Learn. Life. Love. Die. Dust. Gone.

I'd like to meet:

I've already met them. "The true Hanson fans are never the cheerleaders or the swanky kids... They're always a little offbeat, doing stuff that's a little different. That's our impression when we meet them." -Taylor Hanson

Music:

"Music will never turn it's back on you" -Bob Marley
"Is that how you like your rock heroes - dead?... Are you upset about one of your favorite musicians dying?", I hope you are, I hope you are because thats why I create music." -Jeff Buckley
"Good music is good music, and that should be enough for anybody" -Bradley Nowell
"Talking about music is like dancing about architecture" -Elvis Costello
"People my age don't always know where their music comes from. I want to instill a passion to hear stuff like this, or at least get that passion into my own music. It's all about the passion, isn't it?" -Isaac Hanson [On The Music Of The 50's & 60's]
"When all of this music sounds like you know what you want to say, then it will have been of all worth, ever." -Jeff Buckley

Which Dead Rock Star Are You?

Jeff Buckley
You are Jeff Buckley! You're influential to many young and old, and very talented. You have charisma and grace that sets you a part from many. You are beautiful! Oh, he died in 1997 from a drug-induced drowning in the Mississippi River.

CONCERTS
8.29.01- 98 Degrees (Revelation Tour); Camden, NJ * 5.21.04- Hanson, Toby Lightman, Kimberly Locke, Nelly Furtado; Allentown, PA * 2.22.07- Cute Is What We Aim For; Allentown, PA * 3.4.07- Hanson(

My friend you were a model, a priceless work of art. Boys would fashion their emotions to the pattern of you heart. And I heard you wrote that record for a girl you loved but died. I'm here sewing mine, together, just hoping you're alive.

Movies:

Titanic, Mr. Holland's Opus, 2gether, Can't Hardly Wait, Rent, Clueless, Mallrats3 (Pretty much every other 90's movie...), Sixteen Candles, Bonnie & Clyde, The Dive From Clausen's Pier, The Notebook (how cliche I know!), Babe, St. Elmo's Fire...

Television:

DAWSON'S CREEK! The Real World, Ugly Betty, Law And Order, Er, Lost, American Idol, What About Brian, 2gether, Clueless, Step By Step, Family Matters, Boy Meets World, Judging Amy... alot of cancelled shows. Oldschool Mtv shows. Like when TRL was Total Request. When Carson Daly was oh-so-dreamy... Ok, So what if I still think he is! Ah, the good old days.

Books:

Dream Brother: The lives and music of Jeff and Tim Buckley, Lovely Bones, The Perks Of Being A Wallflower, Holler If You Hear Me, The Rose That Grew From Concrete, That Was Then... This Is Now, There Are Survivors, Thoughts... alot of music related books. But Perks Of A Wallflower is amazing. I reccomend it to everyone.

Heroes:

My Grandparents

My Doodle Meister

And my chest it wears a singlet ah my chest it beating proud my chest suggest I am a man that no institution can knock down And around my neck is superstition hanging from a chain because i’ve got my gods but in the end I make my own way My mouth it’s got a great big smile that shows some great big teeth to friends it brings a happiness and to enemies it means defeat And my eyes they’ve got some vision that can see through many lies ah my eyes they look for better things the better things to see in life And my ears are wearing head phones that do play my favourite songs not music i’m told to like but the songs that make me dance along Cos on my feet are shoes for dancing ‘dancing to be free’.
