You just gotta ignite the light, and let it shine

Day 17: A song you often hear on the radio.

Due to the fact that I lack a car, I do not often listen to the radio.

So, I will deem my roomie Carlie, my radio. And I would say it consists of a ton of Katy Perry, and Sam Tsui[check out his youtube channel, he rocks!]!

Love,

Hannah B

XOXO

PS I'm secretly in love with the song Teenage dream :) Check out the Boyce Avenue cover, LOVE his editing!

Hey there....

Day 16: A song you used to love but now hate.

I'd have to go with "Hey there Delilah," the first time I heard it, I thought it was a great song.

And I thought it was super awesome that it was always on the radio.

Every single day at work...multiple times....

then it got old.

And then I wasn't so fond of it anymore!

Now that there's been a bit of time since then, I'm not so judgmental towards it, however, instinct causes me to cringe a bit when I first hear it.

However, we did make some great parodies of it at swim practice.

{Cari, Cat, Haznah}

I sure do miss those days! :)

Love, Hannah B

XOXO

I can't count. apparently.

Day 15: A song that describes you.

judge for yourself.

haha.

Love,

Hannah B

XOXO

SAY WHAT???

Alright...

I just heard some of the possibly most distressing news.

ever.

...

I'm just going to say it straight up.

Jason Mraz

is

wait for it.

engaged.

And there is definitely no ring on my finger.

So the truth is out, Jason Mraz is gettin' hitched.

Oh well, I can still work on his avocado plantation, right?

Love,

Hannah B

XOXO

SURPRISE!

Day 13: A song that no one would expect you to like!

Well....I will not reveal all of my deepest darkest secrets on here, like what music I'm secretly in love with! haha

But...to be 100% honest, I think I really do love all types of music....at least for the most part! Even hardcore scream o is fun to sing/yell on rockband!

However, the other day I was driving my friend, and my ipod was playing in my car....

she was surprised that I listen to Say Anything....haha

So, there ya go!

XOXO

Holy Moly

Me oh my! How time flies!

Christmas is over. :(

But it was fabulous!

And by fabulous, I mean amazing, and awesome, and splendid, and everything in between!

...

Christmas has ALWAYS been my favorite holiday!

I used to make lists of why Christmas is my favorite season when I was bored (and of course decorated it with snow, and snowmen, and Christmas trees, etc...)!

But this year, it was like BAM It's Christmas.

BAM it's over!

It's unconceivable!

When I am finally realizing it's Christmas, it's over!

But let's be real here, if there's one thing that I've learned from Faith Hill it's that "if there is love in your heart and your mind, you will feel like Christmas ALL the time!"

...

Here's a small list of why I LOVE the Christmas season!

-Snow/Winter: Let's get real here, who doesn't love to watch the snow fall? It's so beautiful! I just get so mesmerized when I look up to the sky, and see millions of white things falling down!

-HOT COCOA! With the snow comes hot chocolate, and drinking out of mugs, and I love mugs, and feeling warm!

-Reuniting with family and friends! Going home for the Holidays

is always a blast! Catching up with loved ones, what's better than that?!

-I know I already mentioned snow, but I didn't mention playing in the snow! Sledding, snowball fights, making snowmen, igloos, snowcones, and snowangels!

-LIGHTS. I don't think I need to expound on this one ;)

-Christmas Decorations in general. Lights, trees, Santa statues, NATIVITIES, etc...

-The Christmas Spirit, I think the lyrics to the song Silver Bells sums it up pretty well.

-Christmas Music

-Giving. I love to give to others. There's nothing better. Lately I have felt extremely selfish, and am going to try to do more service. There are so many people out there less fortunate, and although I may not be the richest person in the World (I am definitely far from that!), I am still so much better off than so many others, and it is not acceptable to simply sit here, and do nothing about it.

-Lastly, the thing I love most about Christmas, is Christ. The whole reason we celebrate. It is so easy to get distracted by all of the other parts of Christmas, and forget about Christ. However, I refuse. He did so much for us. He is the reason that we are here, and so, this Christmas, let's not forget about the night, over 2000 years ago, where Jesus Christ, the Savior of the World, was born, in a lowly stable.

{Nativities, and lights on Temple Square!}

I hope you had a very Merry Christmas!

Love, Hannah B

XOXO

Never have I ever...

experienced a break up.

Day 13: A song for a break up.

However...for future reference, I'd like to think I'd listen to this!

Mixed with a little dashboard...

XOXO

I'm not a hater.

Hence the reason for there being no post on day 12: A song by a band you hate.

Also, that would take quite a bit of effort to figure out what band I hate...

and after all, this is Christmas break (emphasis on the break), and it would be a shame if I had to think too hard!

On a side note...IT'S ALMOST CHRISTMAS!!! YIPPEE

Love, Hannah B

XOXO

PS: I do hate the name of the band : "Kill Hannah" for obvious reasons.

Day once(eleven)

A song from your favorite band.

My favorite band?

Well...once again, I am faced with the impossible decision of choosing a favorite.

So, I'll just go with my obsession as of late!
I have been sooo obsessed with Matt & Kim! They are just so cute, and happy, and I love their music!

I hope you enjoy this as much as I do!

Love,

Hannah B

PS My laptop is once again alive!

Goodnight, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite!

Day 10: A song that puts you to sleep!

Well, obviously a mellow song!

I don't often listen to music when I go to sleep, because of the fact that it actually makes me stay awake longer than if I had no music.

I'm the type of person who, the minute I lay my head down, I'm passed out!

However, on occasions which I'm really wound up or something, I will listen to music.

Often, Jason Mraz, or Coldplay.

Love,

Hannah B

Hop about the bed turn my swag on

Day Whatever this is: A song you can dance to

Nuff said.

This song came up close in second, maybe even a tie!

PERFECTION

Have you ever been over a friend's house to eat, and the food just ain't no good?

I mean the macoroni's soggie the peas are mushed, and the chicken tastes like wood.

So you try to play it off like you think you can by sayin' that your full.

And your friend says mama he's just bein' polite, he ain't finished nu uh that's bull!

So your heart starts pumpin' and you think of a lie and you say that you already ate.

Your friend says man there's plenty of food, so he piles some more on your plate.

...

How I wish I knew ALL of the words to that song! (Rapper's Delight by Sugar Hill)

But alas, life goes on

Day 8: A song you know all of the words to.

There are definitely not many.

Mostly I know some of the words (i.e. the chorus and outrageous lines) to tons of song, but all of the words...there's a select few.

So, I'll have to go with You're so Vain by Carly Simon.

Ultimate goal: Sing it at a karaoke bar...hopefully I'll sound a bit better than them!

I'm too fat to be a hipster, skinny jeans don't come in my size

Day 7: A song that reminds you of a certain event.

This tots reminds me of the time when I went to Virgin-eye-ay and visited my BFFIB, and we listened to the Fur Night Club on the radio!

It was flippin awesome!

One night, we went up to some event in some cool monumental town.

When we came home, we jammed to fur night club.

The DJ played Oh Snap.

It was perfect timing.

K-Dawg was driving.

Every one had accidentally fallen asleep (woops, sorry Snourtni).

She was getting tired as well.

When out of nowhere this song, along with "You single? haha Let's mingle!" (AKA Single Girls Rock) and woke all of us up!

It was the best day of my life, and inspired my goal to attend Fur Night Club one day with KiKi!

Love, Hannah B

Hey remember that time...

When I ran into SANTA CLAUS at the mall in his street clothes?!

I do!

It was magical!

Can't wait for Christmas!

Love,

Hannah B

Mila, Jolly Ole Saint Nick, Me (please ignore my unattractiveness!)

PS Finals are OVER and I'm hooome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you want to go to the Seaside?

Day 6: A song that reminds you of a place.Seaside by the Kooks...reminds me of Seaside, Oregon!

Every year, I go to Seaside with family and friends. We rent a house, and enjoy eating tons of seafood, reading on the beach, building sandcastles, catching crabs, swimming in the FREEZING cold ocean (and enjoying every second of it), having sand EVERYWHERE, shopping (and no tax in Oregon!), having fires on the beach, and so much more! I have so many great memories there, and I'm sure there are many more to come!

You are my brother, my best friend forever

Day 5: A song that reminds you of someone.
This song

reminds me of

^Mr. Tyler John Morrison
Love him![Dylan, me, Kenzo, and Ty as wee chıllıns]

Ty's been my best friend forever! Really!
He's such a great example to me, and so many people, serving the Lord for two years!
But how I miss watching AI, making fun of people with "guy liner," jamming out, decorating Christmas eggs, battling Rocket Man on singstar, playing catch phrase, family camping trips, and going to hippy concerts with Ty! I cannot even wait for next November when he shall return!
Love
HANNAH B

Dear Dawn Mitchelle,

I think you are a great artist.
And I really like your music.
Sometimes your song Dominoes makes me a tad bit sad.

Day 4: A song that makes you sad.

Enjoy.


Also...this song makes me sad...I remember listening to it when I was little, and my dad explaining the message of the song to me.



...I know this is a crazy version...but I guess it makes it a little happier right?!

Love!
HANNAH B

But I think I'll have to pick this one!
You Make my Dreams Come True by Hall and Oats

Love,

I love a song....

that I can close my eyes and loose myself in...while I should be writing final papers!
[Thank you Damien Rice]

with that said Day 2: A song you hate....

if I hate a song...it's probably terrible, because I love most music...and even if I don't like a song, most ridiculous songs are fun to make fun of...when they are horrible, and I can't make fun of them...that's about when i hate a song! haha

Ok...Take it off by Ke$ha flat out scares me! haha


Although all the colors in this video are kind of cool, and get me excited for festival of colors...this songs scares me...mostly thanks to my bffib [best friend for infinity and beyond] PS look at her blog b/c she's awesome!

I'm also very partial Katy Perry's I kissed a girl.....who isn't blek.

Dear Music,

You ROCK my world!
haha Aren't I clever?! Get it?! Rock?!?
Anywho, now that we're past my horrible joke, I'll get on with the post!
So, my beautiful roommate Carlie (check out her blog, because she's awesome!) has inspired me to do 30 days of music, or whatever it's called! Studying for finals, and writing papers, I have been listening to music all the time!
So, here's the dealio:

So, this is day 1! My favorite song?!?!? Now that is one tall order! If you know me at all, you know I don't pick favorites. It's too big of a decision, and I'm afraid of hurting inanimate object's feelings....yes...I did just say that....judge me all you want...I'm just being honest! haha

As much as my favoritish songs change with my moods, and the seasons etc...I think I will always be faithful to Sir Jason Mraz.

No matter my mood, I can always listen to him! Whether it be a happy occasion, a sad one, or a neutral one, I'M IN LOVE WITH JASON MRAZ(What a shame the feelings aren't mutual ;)!!!!!!!!!

Now, for picking my favorite one...I don't think I can...but right now I'm feeling this song!

I just love him! End of story!

Have a FABULOUS day!

Love,

HANNAH B

Hola! Feliz navidad! Merry Belated Christmas!

OK, maybe early!
I just thought I'd drop by. Say hello. How's it going?
I'm doing rather SPLENDID myself!
Can you guess what I should be doing?
If you answered writing a paper, studying for finals, or something along those lines, then BINGO!
But, I'd rather blog, listen to music, look at pictures, play snake, and think happy thoughts!! So...for right now, that is exactly what I'm doing...at least for a few minutes! :)
Any who,
lately I've just been thinking about how blessed I am! First of all, it's my FAVORITE time of the year!! Have I ever mentioned how in love I am with winter, and Christmas? If not, now you know...I LOVE CHRISTMAS!
I also have the best friends and the best family in the World! You can argue, but I'll know deep down inside that you're wrong!
I'm grateful for the plethora of computers I can use at the library while my laptop is being healed! (Did I ever tell you how I was my usual careless self, and dropped my laptop off the table, and now it makes a race-car noise when I turn it on? Because I did...thank goodness for accident insurance!)
I'm grateful for cocoa-motions and cocoa-lattes! They warm my soul when the whether is cold (which hasn't been the case this week...but I won't complain!) Shout out to Nicole and Mark!
I'm grateful for my faith and religion. I can't even express how much peace and happiness it brings me!
I'm grateful for all of the art, beauty, and color in the World! It's rather amazing if you ask me! Whether it be in the snow capped mountains, the lights on temple square, the paintings which regularly grace my optics on the fifth floor of the library, my llama from CAROLLAMAING, or the joy in people's faces, I'm just grateful to live in such a beautiful, inspiring World!
I could go on and on forever about all the things that I'm grateful, but alas, I best get workin' on my paper so I can continue my education at the fine institution of BYU!
Happy Holidays!

LOVE,

HANNAH BCarollaming!
