I might even be a rock star

I'm not going to fill out the end-of-the-year survey that it seems everyone on LiveJournal is doing (because I am contrary), but the last question is "Quote a song lyric that sums up your year" and so here is my answer to that:

Out of the fire and into the fire again
You make me want to forget
And start all over
Here it comes straight out of my mind the words
Another chance to get burned
And start all over
I'm gonna start all over

It's doesn't really sum up the events of my year, but, besides being one of my most-listened-to songs this year (yes I'll admit it), to me it kind of represents the new ways I've been trying to think this year. I always love the combination of energetic, happy music with lyrics that aren't quite that; I love that the line "another chance to get burned" is sung with a huge smile. It makes me feel like failure can be awesome, taking risks that don't work out can be awesome, speaking your mind and being totally disagreed with can be awesome. And maybe that's not always actually true, haha, but even so I love these lyrics because they make me feel like I can look forward to anything, even if it means "getting burned." Like ... life can be difficult but amazing at the same time. Sort of thing. Something I need to remember. x);

I don't think that actually explains anything about why I feel these lyrics "sum up my year," hahaha, but ... that's okay with me. x);

(... haha, as if you guys need to be reminded that you're friends with someone who would choose the chorus of a Miley Cyrus song to represent a whole year of her life. xD )

Wow. I so cannot think of a song, nevermind a verse, which sums up my year. I can't even fit my mind in that frame. Possibly because although I'm always listening to music, it's actually a very small number of songs. ^^;; I need a radio.

I was actually really surprised I was able to think of these lyrics so quickly! I don't expect to ever be able to answer this question again. :P

I need a radio.

haha, one of my concerns upon quitting the movie theatre was that no more would I be hip to the happenings of the pop music world, because I definitely still listen to a bunch of songs that I discovered through listening to the radio in the break room. :P But oh well!!
