Ferrier Family History

So my mom just recently was given a copy of our family history. I wanted to preserve it online, and decided to post it here as well, because I think it's pretty interesting. The following cut is an account of the family's life in the Williamsport area, and their big move to Los Angeles. In my re-typing of it, I've kept all the original wording and spelling, as written by Fredrick David Ferrier.

music?

[Jul. 24th, 2006|01:25 am]

[	mood	\|	happy	]
[	music	\|	Hey Jude - The Beatles	]

So here's how it works:
» Open your music library [iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, etc].
» Put it on shuffle.
» Press play.
» For every question, put the song that's playing.
» When you go to a new question, skip to the next song.
» Ready? GO!

Opening Credits: Hey now, hey now - Crowded House
Waking Up: Lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking her clothes off - Panic! At the Disco
Falling In Love: Too Shy - Kajagoogoo
Fight Scene: Destroyer - The Stills
Breaking Up: Apache - Sugar Hill Gang
Make-up: But Its Better If You Do- Panic! At The Disco
Secret Love: I'll Be There for You - the Rembrandts
Life's Okay: Delinquency - Of Montreal
Mental Breakdown: The Son Never Shines on Closed Doors - Flogging Molly
Driving: Sunglasses at Night- Cory Hart
Flashbacks: Time After Time - Cindy Lauper
Happy Dance: YMCA - The Village People
Regretting: What a Feeling (From Flashdance)
Long Night Alone: Soft Rock Star - Metric
Final Battle: I Believe in a Thing Called Love - The Darkness
Death Scene: Air Force Ones - Nelly
Final Ending: Rapture - Blondie
Credits: Cruel Summer - Bananarama

While I have a great flashback song, and a totally gay happy dance, I'm totally confused by my battle and death scene...

you can have washington i'll take new jersey
you can have london but i want new york city

i should get providence i've got a job now
los angeles - obvious - that's where you belong now

you can have africa asia australia
as long as you keep your hands off cafe pamplona

we can split germany right down the middle
you'd hate it there anyway
take berlin and well call it even

you can take all of the carry-on baggage
i'll trade the saskia jokes for the alphabet language

and special occasions we'll split between parents
who forced us to hate them on alternating weekends

you call it over and i call you psycho
significant other?
just say we were lovers and we'll call it even
we'll call it even

i am the ground zero ex-friend you ordered
disgused as a hero to get past your borders
i know when i'm wanted i'll leave when you ask me to
mind my own business and speak when i'm spoken to

i am the tower around which you orbited
i am not proud i am just taking orders
i fall to the groud within moments of impact
i hit back if hit
and attack if attacked

you get route 2 between concord and lexington
i want mass ave from the sqaure to my apartment

and if we should meet through some misunderstanding
ill be very sweet very patient and forgiving
(now get off my side of the state)

and if we should meet one another in passing
despite these techniques there is sometimes no avoiding
(there must be some kind of mistake)

we'll raise high our white flags and say hi and shake hands
declaring the land we're on unamerican
we'll call it even

i am the tower around which you orbited
i am not proud i am just taking orders
i fall to the groud within moments of impact
i hit back if hit
and attack if attacked

i am an accident waiting to happen
i'm laughing like mad while you strangle the captain
my place may be taken, but make no mistake
from a little black black box i can say without shame
that you've lost
do you know what you've lost?

so take whatever you'd like
i'll strike like the States on fire
you won't sleep very tight
no hiding
no safe covers
make your bed and now lie
just like you always do
you can fake it for the papers but i'm on to you....

Well, I just got back from Cali this morning...and I already wanna go back!

The weather was gorgeous, the scenery was gorgeous, Hollywood was glamorous, what with us ending up there the night of a movie premier...of course we HAD to be in attendance.

Brandon being there wasn't too bad either :)

(understatement of the year)

I am in LOVE!

and guess what, this time, it's not unrequited!! YAY!

I miss him already :(

He's coming here in May though!

well...basically 14 days and I'm on a plane to Cali...

The shows for Beauty and the Beast are next week...crossing my fingers everything comes together during tech week, we need all the help we can get :)

I would just like to make note of how much I absolutely love carmel delights and thin mints.

This is kind of a pointless update.

I wonder what Laura's doing this weekend *hint hint*?

This month is not gonna move fast enough, it totally needs to be March 16th. Like now.

The show dates for Beauty and the Beast are the week before I head out to Cali. That's 2 weeks then that I'm gonna be missing flute choir. Sadness.

Have I mentioned lately how much I love my car? Because I do. I really don't want to murder this one like I did my last 3.

I've really gotta get my taxes done so I can get my crappy refund as quick as possible. I don't enjoy having bills.

I am SO glad it's Friday...for some reason though the weeks seem to go pretty quick for me. It just seems like there's 50 million weeks in a month.

Maybe I'll go boozing with Kelly tonight. I dunno yet, since I'm kinda broke. I could just get boys to buy me drinks...

I need to make more interesting things to happen in my life, so I can be less boring.

random thoughts from a random mind

It's 2:49 am...I'm pretty much tired but such is life. I get to go in to work at 10 tomorrow, YAY for sleeping in late.

Jackie reminded me that 8 below comes out tomorrow...if the preview alone can make people cry...

Today was BEAUTIFUL outside!!! I left work at 1:30 and when I drove by the bank, it was 57 degrees! In February! In Pennsylvania!!!! I wished I could have been out a little more to enjoy it, but I had pit orchestra rehearsal for Beauty and the Beast from 3 until 6. Ah well...maybe it'll last another day. It'd make for a perfect friday.

I can't wait till I'm out in LA soaking up the sun, and laughing at all the poor kids in PA (i really do love you guys!) who are out braving the sub arctic temps. I seriously hope I leave in the middle of a snow storm. Just so I can say HA!!! Screw you weather!!!!

Considering going to Bonnaroo this summer with Anthony et al...might be good times, I'm pretty sure I can manage being a dirty hippie for a weekend...

I think Hans is pretty much settled in here with us...I meant to get him adopted out by now...but gosh darnit he's too cute...I can't let him go! Such a sweet little bunny :)

Well...that's all I've got for now I guess.
