i have been labelled a 'power brunette' in the past. perhaps for the same reason that i have been labelled 'intimidating'. what that reason is, i have yet to learn.
but, i would argue that brunettes don't hold a candle to the redheads. they seem to lack inhibition in many ways.
ingrid michaelson.
i love songwriters that ooze truth. sometimes when i look back at my journals, i notice moments of truth. well, every word of her songs are like that. every single word.
my most recent favorite from her new album Human Again:
"I'm Through"
i know there'll come a time again
when everything will fit right in
and i won't have to see your face
in strangers on the street
but i would rather feel the sting
than never to have felt a thing
i'll always know you were the one
to rip me from the ground
it's all because of you that i'm through
alison sudol.
this singer of A Fine Frenzy is built of the same stuff as ingrid. they both have a distinctive sound by the way that they twinkle the ivories. yes, i meant twinkle.
my most recent favorite from her newest album Bomb in a Birdcage:
"Beacon
Burning beacon in the night
Can't feel its heat, or see its light
That single solitary guide, it must get lonely there sometimes
Let me stand by you
The honor is mine
Let me stand by you
Loneliest light, loneliest light, loneliest light
but by far, my favorite is "Almost Lover" from One Cell in the Sea
if you've ever had an almost lover, you will love this, almost.
kate winslet.
titanic. need i say more? the most beautiful movie. she takes Rose and makes her real. just ponder that character for a moment. no seriously. do it.
how incredibly contradictory is her life. and how much guts would it take to do what she did. but she did it. kate turned her into the hero she had to be.
rachel mcadams.
the notebook. again, need i say more? she shows the difference in a girl's first love and a woman's last love.
growing up, i've re-watched that movie a million times. i get something different out of it every time. it brings back my first love all over again. as i get older, i realize the possibility of loving two people at once. i know it's possible now to be with someone with all the right qualities, and to be with someone with all the wrong qualities except for that one. and it makes me question the type of man i want to be with. who would i choose?
i blame it on the hair.
