You Can’t Hurry Love

So I was looking through my drafts and found this post I had started, but never finished.

So I decided there was no time like the present.

So I saw this quote on twitter:

And it made me think of one of my favorite songs:

You Can’t Hurry Love by The Supremes

This is one of the best songs as the lyrics are fun, the music fantastic, and something everyone can relate to. We all want to find love.

Sometimes we get tired of waiting and try to rush it along, picking the wrong people.

And in the process can get our heart broken.

But as the song says, don’t give up and don’t hurry it along; the right person will come.

The song was written and released in 1966, surpsingly being based on You Can’t Hurry God (He’s Right on Time) by Dorothy Love Coates of The Original Gospel Harmonettes. It was number one for two weeks and have been recorded by Phil Collins, The Dixie Chicks, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and The Stray Cats.

It’s a great song and has been in many films.

I need love, love
Oh, ease my mind
And I need to find time
Someone to call mine

My mama said, “you can’t hurry love
No, you’ll just have to wait”
She said, “love don’t come easy
But it’s a game of give and take”
You can’t hurry love
No, you’ll just have to wait
Just trust in a good time
No matter how long it takes

How many heartaches must I stand
Before I find the love to let me live again
Right now the only thing that keeps me hanging on
When I feel my strength, ooh, it’s almost gone

I remember mama said, “you can’t hurry love

No, you’ll just have to wait”

She said, “love don’t come easy
It’s a game of give and take”
How long must I wait
How much more must I take
Before loneliness
Will cause my heart, heart to break

No, I can’t bear to live my life alone
I grow impatient for a love to call my own
But when I feel that i, I can’t go on
Well these precious words keep me hanging on

I remember mama said, “you can’t hurry love
No, you’ll just have to wait”
She said, “love don’t come easy
But it’s a game of give and take”
You can’t hurry love
No, you’ll just have to wait
Just trust in a good time
No matter how long it takes

Now wait
Now love, love don’t come easy
But I keep on waiting
Anticipating for that soft voice
To talk to me at night
For some tender arms
Hold me tight
I keep waiting
Ooh, till that day
But it ain’t easy (love don’t come easy)
No, you know it ain’t easy

My mama said you can’t hurry love
No, you’ll just have to wait
She said “love don’t come easy
But it’s a game of give and take”
You can’t hurry love
No, you’ll just have to wait
She said “love don’t come easy
But it’s a game of give and take”
You can’t hurry love, no you’ll just have to wait

Yep, don’t forget:

Pizza Delivery

That Pizza Box is referring to him

So a few weeks ago I graduated from college.

[Yay me!]

I had to be at school by 8 as the ceremony started at 9. So I was up by like 6 something so I’d have enough time to get ready. Later that evening I was so tired; and my period had come, so needless to say I was hungry and wanted food, but wanted it now, and I really didn’t want to get up and do anything. So I turned to the only thing I could do:

So I looked around online and the only pizza place that delivered at a good price was Dominos. It was pretty easy and sweet. While I was filling out the form, this came to mind.

Now you see this stuff all over tumblr and pinterest about how people request certain things and the pizza places actually deliver.

Couldn’t resist

Anyways, so I thought I would try it out and see what happens. So under special requests I told them

Tell me I’m pretty.

So then I sat back to wait. And I have to say the pizza trackers they have are awesome. They have a baseball one, romance novel, etc. The one I chose, [of course] was the heavy metal one.

It was awesome how it would be like

Yeah, your pizza is in the Oven-en-en!!

It was pretty sweet.

So the delivery guy who came was so sweet. He was so cute how awkward he was.

You could tell he was unsure about giving me the comment as he didn’t want to be awkward, but it was awkdorable.

I paid him and gave him a great tip so that he wouldn’t feel too awkward.

I then sat down and enjoyed my pizza. I decided that I’m totally going to do that again, and ask for them to do different things, but nothing too over the top or horrible.Haha now the real fun begins. 🙂

I love Pizza

You’re Just Too Good Too Be True: 10 Things I Hate About You (1999)

Romantic Moment #9

10 Things I Hate About You (1999)

I love this film and I know that everyone is expecting the most romantic moment to be the end when Kat says the poem to Patrick. But as much as I love that moment it’s not my favorite.

10 Things I Hate About You is a modern day telling of the Taming of the Shrew by William Shakespeare. It is such a great movie starring the gorgeously adorable Heath Ledger, intense Julia Stiles, sweet lil’ Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and a young Gabrielle Union.

Cameron, (Joseph Gordon Levitt), is new in town and crazy for Bianca Stratford. The only problem is that Bianca can’t date, at least not until her older sister Kat does. Bianca wants to date stupid, jerky, cad Joey. (Joey just wants to sleep with her and dump her), but once again the problem is that Bianca can’t date until Kat does. NO ONE wants to date Kat, she’s CRAZY.

She is crazy!

Cameron decides that the only way he can get Bianca is if he can pay someone to date Kat. He has no money so he and his friend end up tricking Joey into paying someone to take her out. They choose Patrick Verona (Heath Ledger), as there are so many stories circulating about the crazy stuff he has done; they conclude he’s the only one tough enough to handle Kat.

Patrick tries, but even with Cameron’s help, he’s not getting very far. He goes to different places and does different things to try to win her over, but she is just not having it.

Kat ends up going to this party and gets completely drunk after she and Bianca have a fight. Patrick takes care of her, and the two have some real tender moments, being vulnerable and sharing confidences. She comes onto Patrick, but Patrick doesn’t want to take advantage of her. He knows that she’s upset and drunk, and that she will regret everything the next day. That’s right guys, Patrick is a decent guy! Aw!!

Aw!

Well the next day Kat is mad at him. She continues to be furious with him, hurt and embarrassed over her being rejected. Finally Patrick realizes that he has to do something silly and romantic to win her back.

Hmmm…

Will the plans to date the girls work? Or will all blow up in the boys’ faces?

Most Romantic Moment: I Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You

Patrick decides to serenade Kat by paying the A.V. team and the band to play Frankie Valli’s “Can’t Take My Eyes off of You“! 😀

So romantic

And he doesn’t just sing to her, he sings to her in front of the whole school and pays the marching band to accompany him. This is SO ROMANTIC! I aboslutely LOVE this part.

He has such a great voice, and that smile is to die for. Not only does he sing and dance, but fights off the security guards so he can continue. He’s so sweet and romantic. 😀

Aw!
