Really?

Ok....so I know I haven't been keeping this blog up, but I'm gonna try and get better! This is gonna kinda be a rant/crystal's view blog post, so if your offended I warned you ahead of time.
I've been watching tv and reading news articles lately and they all seem to have to do w/ gay rights and how the government is trying to control them. Don't ask don't tell,gay marriage,gay adoption,etc. WHY THE FUCK does the government care if anyone is gay or straight????
Do they care that 16 year old Mitsy from Louisiana is having twins w/ John her 20 year old deadbeat boyfriend? HELL NO! That's completely ok....yet a couple that has been committed to each other for over a decade can't get married or has to bend over backwards to adopt a child b/c it's "morally wrong". FUCK that.
Sally could go to war for her country, be the best at her job, and put her life on the line, but God forbid she tells someone she is a lesbian. She is kicked out w/out a second thought. FUCK that.
Eric's partner could be in the hospital for a heart attack, yet he can't go into ICU and see him because he isn't "family". Yet, Jeff is allowed to go see his wife who he beat to a pulp because he is "family". FUCK that.
What is wrong with you America???? Where did you lose your way,where did you get turned around? I thought this country was started so that we could escape being judged and be FREE to live how we wanted. What changed?
I don't feel free...I wake up daily with a heavy heart b/c of things like this. Day in and day out you build us up, only to tear us down again. I can only imagine how much heartache these issues cause the actual GLBT community.
I feel like the government spends so much of their time discussing these issues and making stupid laws, that they forget we are all just people trying to live happy good lives and trying to experience all that life and love have to offer.
I hope that one day we will truly be "One Nation, Under God, Indivisible, with LIBERTY and JUSTICE for ALL".

Friday Fives...5 Favorite Movies

Five Favorite Movies--I'm posting this now, cause I know I wont remember to do it Friday:)

1) Dirty Dancing

This is my all time favorite movie!!! I literally could watch it over and over and never get tired of it!!! Everything about it makes me so so happy!!! I even saw it in concert when I was young! THE BEST EVER!

2) Can't Buy Me Love

I think I love this movie for one reason and one reason alone...I want to be Cindy Mancini!!! What little girl didn't want to be her? I loved how popular she was, her clothes, her hair, the car she drove! I loved it all..and I guess I still do! Its a cheesy 80's movie done right!!!

3) The Sound Of Music

You can not be a girl and not love this movie! The great story line, the singing, the dancing!!! Its got it all:) 

4) Elvis and Me

Anyone who knows me knows I'm obsessed with Elvis! My mom is a huge fan so I grew up watching all of his movie's and listening to his music.  I went to Graceland about 5 years ago and my obsession got even stronger. He isn't in this movie, but its about his life with Priscilla. It is based on her account of the relationship and it is a great great movie. I have been searching everywhere to find it on DVD and can't. So I have to settle with the tape I have that my mom copied off of the tv :) 

5) Sex and the City

I don't think this one really needs any explanation at all :) 

Married Mondays (the single addition!!)

Married Monday

Most awkward moment with your S.O.

This is going to be difficult... there is not much that me or aaron get embarrassed about.  We are pretty open about everything with each other.  I guess you would have to go back to the very beginning of us when we first me.  I had a crush on aaron from the night I met him.  He was new to the tour and I was so excited there was a hot new guy out with us!!! I tried to get up the nerve to talk to him, but i didn't know what to say.  So one night on a long bus ride out west i went up to a guy he worked with and asked him if aaron was single.  I knew as soon as i walked away he would go up to aaron and tell him I had asked about him! Well that worked and that next night we hung out by the buses and talked.  Long story short, we ended up hanging out every night after the show talking and flirting and one night we decided that I should ride his bus back to nashville so we could hang out more.  We ended up making out in the back lounge all night long and finally passed out. When I woke up that morning I didn't know what to do...do i wake him up and say bye or do I just leave...well I just left!!  HA! So i guess that was our most awkward moment, for the split second where I bailed  after our makeout session! He actually called me that morning, right after I got home and asked me out that night for our first official date and we have been together ever since! So maybe it wasn't that awkward to him!!! ;)

Friday Fives...5 Things You Don't Know About Me

Here is a Friday Fives from a while ago...

1) I always rub my feet together when I'm laying down to sleep or laying down watching tv. It gets on aaron's nerves so much but I can't help it. Most of the time I don't even realize I'm doing it until he points it out. I've been doing since I was a kid and I don't think I'll ever be able to stop!

2) My favorite number is 5 and I have an obsession with making everything come back to that number in some way. I do it with license plates, dates, letters, events...you get the idea. Its a strange OCD thing I have that I can't shake!

3) I hate lemon or lime pulp in my drink. Well actually anything that can get sucked up my straw. I can't drink mojitos because of this. It totally freaks me out for some reason. I love the flavor of those things in my drink, but if anything other than the flavor gets in my drink I can't stand it. ewwww.....

4) I've become obsessed with weighing myself. Since I've started loosing weight I can't stop getting on the scale. Its become like a game! I used to hate getting on the scale and refused to even own one. Now I freak out when I'm on the road and there isn't one to use. I assume one day this will go away, but for now its in full force!

5) I sleep on Aaron's side of the bed when he is out of town. I think I do this cause it makes me feel safe and secure. I have no problem sleeping on my side when he is home, but I can't do it while he is gone.

The Little Things We Do

1.  One song that always takes me back to my youth is Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice! I was absolutely obsessed with that tape when it came out. I played it in my tape player so much it I actually broke the tape! I begged my mama for a new one, but by the time she got around to actually saying yes, I was already over it!! Still every time I hear it though it brings me back to 3rd grade!

2.  My first concert ever was    The Beach Boys .

3.  If I could create my dream music festival I'd want these bands to be there:  Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, N'sync, Christiana Aguilera, Nelly, Jay Z, Rhianna, Tom Petty, Queen, Journey, Hanson, Garth Brooks, Reba, Aerosmith, Ne-Yo, Jann Arden, Hottie and the Blowsfish, Elvis Presley(i know he is dead, but it says my dream festival!!), Kings of Leon, Madonna, New Kids on the Block, Matchbox Twenty, Snoop Dog, Timbaland, and maybe i'll throw in a little soul decision for flavor!!! :)

4.  The best make-out/"boot knocking" song ever is      112 "Anywhere"   .

5.  The best concert I've ever been to was   Mine is a 3 way tie between all my Justin Timberlake, N'Sync, and Britney Spears shows! I am probably at my all time happiest when I'm acting like a teeny bopper in pure pop heaven!! ;)I don't think I'll ever grow out of it!! 

6.  A memorable musical moment for me was   there are so many for me I can't even name one...I guess I'll go with music in itself.  It is my life and my job. I live music and without it I don't know where I would be. Music makes me! 

7.  The song on my iPod that's getting the most play these days is    It would probably be a tie between "Rude Boy" by rhianna and "Imma Be" by the black eyed peas!
