What Girls Want…?

“All girls really want is someone to want them back.”

It’s strange to look at theย  smaller world around me, it consists of a lot of great family and friends, and we’re all at the age where we’re thinking more clearly about what we want for our futures, and who we want to be apart of them. 2012 was a year of many changes for my friends.

A few of my friends got boyfriends and one even got ENGAGED! It’s pretty crazy! So naturally you think about your life and what you want. A good friend of mine and I often joke around, how we’re the last ones standing, and sometimes it can be frustrating. So let’s discuss! ๐Ÿ˜‰

What do girls want?…I’m going to give all the guys out there that are stuck somewhere between a boy and a man some helpful insight….but Shhhhh (you never heard it from me!)

Girls are CRAZY! Trust me I understand, we can say one thing and mean and think something totally different. And we expect you guys to just get it, when really you have NO FREAKIN’ CLUE. We analyze EVERYTHING and come up with the most ridiculous scenarios. (It’s OK I’m one of them…I can say this!) BUT the truth is… All girls really want is a guy who will care for them,

When in doubt watch The Notebook it’ll teach you everything you need to know hahahaha ๐Ÿ˜‰

be there for them when things are stressful and they need a hand to hold or shoulder to cry on, someone they can laugh with, and be themselves around. Yea I mean without the makeup, or the high heels, or the perfect outfit and hair…I’m talkin’ sweats and junk food! ๐Ÿ˜‰ Girls just want that chance to be a good girlfriend, to a guy who’s a good boyfriend. And to occasionally get flowers now and again wouldn’t hurt either! LOL Now that may sound like a long list, but when you actually think about it, is it really too much to ask for? Trust me…Chivalry is NOT dead, I don’t care what these rappers are saying these days (yes I’m aware I sound like I’m 40 hahaha…guess I have an old soul.) So Good Luck to you guys and gals out there looking for love! May the force be with you, friends! ๐Ÿ˜‰205746

Like everything I do in life here’s some music to accompany these thoughts….These my friends are some songs of romance ๐Ÿ˜‰ Enjoy!

Until we meet again cyberspace โค

Type A Personality

(See would I ever lie to you guys!…As promised here it is!…Type A Personality)

pretty_little_liars_valentines_day

That need to know where I’m going

And where I’ve been

That thirst to be in total control

To feel safe and sound

The knowledge of that divine line between right and wrong

A planner

To do lists upon To do lists

Doubts in mind

Why? Oh why?

Make the list

Check it twice

Have a plan

To ease those doubts inside

But life is unpredictable

Punches are rolled with

Flows go with flows

Naive notions run wild

And the naughty in the nice is never truly seen by innocent eyes

P.S. Speaking of -A…

Catch PLL on abc family tonight @ 8pm! Who do you think A is?

Catch an ALL NEW Pretty Little Liars Tonight! (that’s assuming your a fan! Lol)

*Side Note: This is what I’m listening to while posting this…Click the link to find out! (Don’t worry it’s not J.T.’s #Suit&Tie, I’ve sang my praises on that one already! haha)

Anyway until tomorrow! โค

HAPPY MONDAY! … Let’s catch up! :D

So if you’ve been keeping up with my blog, you may have noticed that I gave myself the weekend off ๐Ÿ˜‰ However, this is my first Monday post and I think I’d like to start a little routine. Mondays I’d like to catch up on the weekends events and also share a few odds and ends with you at times. So for starters I know that Mondays can sometimes be dreadful, and I don’t know about you guys but this is my last full week off before I go back to classes. So I have quite the TO DO LIST!

todolist

Am I the only one who makes these? yea? ok, my bad ๐Ÿ˜‰

1) Clean out my book bag from last semester (because yes i still haven’t) haha

2) Buy a new notebook and a few folders

3) Check school e-mail

4) Print Schedule… blah blah blah the list is endless and sometimes even my to do lists have to do lists. That’s what I call a Type A Personality haha (*Spoiler Alert* keep an eye out for a michelle leigh writes piece on that)

Anyway with that being said I have a way more FUN to do list for you guys! Trust me on this!

1) If you haven’t already… listen to Justin Timberlake’s new single Suit & Tie!!!!!!! Yes that’s right people it’s here! If you read my piece on him last Friday you know how excited I am about this! Now, I don’t want to shed any views on it if you haven’t heard, because I think you should hear it for yourself first, but I just can’t help it… it’s freakin’ amazing! I mean c’mon shame on you if you haven’t listened to it yet! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Anyway enjoy it here either way: (I’ve only replayed it about oh 100 times and counting! lol)

Suit&Tie

"Let me show you a few things about love..." #SuitAndTie

“Let me show you a few things about love…” #SuitAndTie

Amazing right? I mean it’s so different from anything he’s ever done, but still so classic Justin. I love how his voice sounds! I mean if you were expecting another “sexy back,” then that would have meant he didn’t grow as an artist, but this, this shows his new album (which is set to release this year…and is called “the 20/20 experience”) is going to be something on a completely new level and I can’t even wait! (Just so you know JT’s been quietly writing this album since last June!…so it’s sure to be nothing short of perfection!…Boy sure can keep a secret, huh?)ย  For anyone hating on it, I truly don’t understand! You know it’s gonna grow on you, so just deal with! ๐Ÿ˜‰ P.S. it’s already #1 on iTunes so this brings me to my second item on our to do list:

2.) Download J.T.’s #SuitAndTie on iTunes!ย 

3.) Dance around your room and jam out to it, cuz you know you want to! ๐Ÿ˜‰

In other news! The 2013 Golden Globes were last night and although I have complete respect for the film industry and I actually think Amy Poehler and Tina Fey were a great pair and joked it up with the audience, I always find those shows a little bit of a snooze fest. And everyone who gets the music played on them for taking too long with their speeches just makes me super nervous and I feel embarrassed for them. BUT…George Clooney you are gorgeous, Anne Hathaway you are a sweetheart and Ben and Jen you guys are super cute! Stay Happy!

Now onto the Red Carpet FASHION…these ladies dresses killed it last night!

My two favorite looks…

Kate Hudson in Alexanderย  McQueen:

She’s rockin’ that Black & Gold combo!

Jennifer Lopez in Zuhair Murad:

As always she looks flawless...Daring! But flawless and her makeup and hair are to die for!

As always she looks flawless…Daring! But flawless and her makeup and hair are to die for!

Ok that’s all i got for ya now! Happy Monday! xoxo โค

He’s Ready…Are you?

Speaking of Music being another Language….

BREAKING NEWS…(we’ll get back to michelle leigh writes originals don’t you worry) But first, there just so happens to be a more pressing matter in the world of music…Justin Timberlake is ready to bring it on back…I’ve been a little worried because sexy has been gone for nearly 7 years!

News of the musician’s (and yes I’m calling him a musician becomes that is what he is, first and foremost and what he will always be…even though I happen to think he’s an awesome actor… music is the focus here people) full on return to music all started (much like everything nowadays)…with a tweet:

“I don’t want to put anything out that I feel like is something I don’t love. You just don’t get that every day. You have to wait for it. “- Justin Timberlake

Automatically twitter went crazy and so did I! Justin Timberlake was an instant trending topic. So naturally everyone was on high alert for a new single (possibly featuring jayz and/or beyonce) to drop yesterday. But what we got instead may have been even better…in my opinion. I knew he was going to do something like this…very stealth, very inconspicuous, very Justin. After all this time, he doesn’t mind making us wait just a little longer. He released this video…a heartfelt promise of what’s to come. On JustinTimberlake.com this video is followed by a countdown, as of now it’sย  numbers read 2 days and counting…that clock will strike the big 0 on Sunday at midnight.

Rumors have even included that Timberlake may have a full 20 track album already under his belt, co-produced by the ridiculous Timbaland! But still, Timberlake remains coy. Since the release of his “I’m ready” video, he’s tweeted teasing his fans about the ticking clock and hashtagging #YouNeverKnow …so what do you think he has in store for us?

My bet is…that whatever it is…it’s going to be mind-blowing. God Speed Justin….We’ve Missed You. #We’reReady

Care to reminisce while you wait…enjoy some old school JT!

Signed,

Overeager Justin Timberlake Fan โค

And for those wondering…

Justin Love <3

Justin Love โค

Yes my love for Justin Bieber is still very much in tact,

Hey I’ve gotย  a big heart! ๐Ÿ™‚

Happy Friday! Go listen to some Music!

The voids of a thing called Happiness…(Hope)

The belief that

honesty will set you free

What do you believe?

What do you know?

Are you afraid of anything?

or are you afraid of nothing?

“nothing” can be a black hole of emptiness; a void unfilled

Similar to the “anything” that could be generalized; void of emotion

What if your heart were full?

What if it were pure and blessed with hope?

How much hope is too much?

Is there such a thing?

Perhaps that’s the scariest realization of all; un-wavered hope

Life…its sometimes difficult

It’s sometimes easy

At times its crazy

and sometimes sane

The whirlwinds slow

the tides recede

And a moment of clarity

is given its freedom

and the strong will to believe

The Unfinished Sentence

Unfinished sentences

Pens run out of ink

Fractions of whispers fall through trees

Untold stories

Secrets hidden in a heart

A love letter

A smile

A work of art

In the darkness there’s a light

A candle of heaven

that shines so bright

Failure with grace is upon you

A kind new start

Let the world in

Don’t be shy

The unfinished sentence

will find its end… but will never die

Hey there…and welcome <3

I guess I should introduce myself. I’m Michelleย  and I’m going to be writing for you. ๐Ÿ˜€ Writing is something that I’ve always enjoyed. It’s difficult to put one’s writing out into the world and have others read and speculate and generally speaking, critique your inner most thoughts. I’m very modest about my writing and often get nervous to share it with others, but this year I’ve promised myself that I would start changing that. I know, I know, once the new year strikes often many of us make promises we know we can’t keep…or won’t keep. But starting a blog has always been on my radar and I’ve always made excuses not to do it, but not this year. This year it’s happening. So if this blog speaks to you please read along, if not no hard feelings. But all I ask is to let this be a safe place for the written word. I’m not claiming to be an award winning writer, I’m just a girl with a lot of heart, who has A LOT of thoughts like I’m sure many of you do. Thoughts that may serve better being read then being cooped up in a journal. Who knows maybe you’ll find that someone else understands you. Here’s to writing! and Happy Reading Folks! -xoxo Michelle Leigh โค
