You said "hello" and I turned to go

But something in your eyes left my heart beating so
I just knew that I'd love again after a long, long while
I'd love again.

"I can live on bread and cheese."
"And only on that?"
"Ye-"
"SO CAN A RAT!" She shouted and he recoiled visibly.

Okay, sorry about not blogging about FSD because it's just so freaking hard to blog about a four day course which happened a few days ago and that's why I'll never get around to doing it. Also, because for some reason the memories are starting to blur WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A CERTAIN FEW, such as ruitong spamming my piece of scrap paper with like a million different things. And writing on our palm while practicing. For some reason, I think those things are going to stay in my head a lot longer than the drills are, you know what I mean?

Okay, so. I was reading the spastic and kind-of-half-dead blog and yup it's kind of weird to think of how much we've changed after looking through the archives. But yes okay anyway I think that's a good thing? And even if it isn't there isn't anything much we can do about it, can we?

On another note, pokemon gijinkas are epic, :D. I personally approve greatly of the Froslass and, um, Xatu ones because those are just cool. For some reason there are gijinkas for almost all the eeveelutions - correction, all of them - while some others can't be found. I can just barely imagine a Magnezone - and wouldn't want to, really - gijinka, while a lot of water and ice types are... imaginable.

Take your protein pills and put your helmet on

We are too awesome. But anyway,
AIR DISTRICT GRADUATED FROM FSD!

Yes, isn't that plain awesome?
Day 1: Alarm set at 6
Day 2: Alarm set at 5.45
Day 3: Alarm set at 5.30
Day 4: Alarm set at 5.15

I am dead tired. HAHA actually I have no reason to because like all the other teams were practising and then we were like the only team sitting there and talking crap with sergeant Fahmie. But seriously our instructors were like very weird. Because like sergeant Fritri will try to command us and then sergeant Fahmie (who is super annoying) will tell him like WHY YOU COMMAND MY KIDS (yes, he calls us kids) and then staff Vicky will come and tell him off and then they will argue and we will be stuck in dress right/left dress for really long.

Okay because I am tired, MORE TOMORROW.

I was made for loving you baby You were made for loving me

I wish my parents would stop trying to guilt trip me it's so annoying. Somehow I think I'd prefer it if they were to yell at me or something instead of guilt tripping me, ugh.

I'm out of aspirin and panadol, but panadol's kind of useless for headaches though. :/

My posts are getting shorter and more or less more unrelated. And disjointed. Because I never want to type about anything and yeah. And for some reason online games are getting more and more addictive. Solitaire still holds its appeal, so now you know what I've been doing.

My entire November has been/is going to be very, very busy.

But anyway! Quote Great Dungeon in the Sky, LINK UNLOCKED! It's too epic. Personally, I think the Thunder Dragon is awesome, (: But look, I was fighting a Demon Warrior and got polymorphed into a Cuckoo, o_o. Yes, I have been playing kongregate and armorgames a lot. As well as puffgames.

Anyway! OMG I REALIZED I WROTE THAT ON SUNDAY AND FORGOT TO POST IT.

Okay.

Today was FSD first day. Nothing much to say about it, except for the fact that it was rather boring and OMG MY LEFT ARM IS SPAZZING! o_o. I overslept like by 40 minutes cos I forgot to turn on my alarm, and so. ._. But I still managed to change in like under 20 minutes and though I live further than ruitong I reached fifteen minutes before her. And! We were sort of imagining ridiculous scenarios including a couple (or more like select few) of zoo animals, and thinking of what we'd actually do if those scenarios actually happened. So it was like "imagine if ______!" Then "no it won't happen, stop thinking about it!" Then two minutes later "what if _______!" We are so win. More about this tomorrow, or Friday, depending. NOW I NEED TO GO "RESEARCH" FOR A SONG THAT CAN BE USED FOR THE FSD COMPETITION. The best I can think of is I Was Made For Loving You, but I don't think anyone else knows it.

The air and sky so indifferent watch over

You just have no freaking idea how much I want that shoe.

Post 209, ):.

Monster Slayers is such a funky game. Everyone should play it! Well, okay, maybe not, but you know what I mean.

Now another morning comes

The promise of the sun
Now I want to feel alive

Have I already mentioned how ridiculous it is that Sentret has such a terrible Speed stat and Furret is one hell of a speedy little critter?

I miss Pokemon. ):
Playing it on the computer just isn't the same as playing it on a gameboy, sigh. And a Level 9 Level 8 Rattata is faster than a Level 14 EV trained Sentret. Kind of gives you an idea of how freaking SLOW Sentret is. And then my Sentret suddenly (well maybe not so sudden) evolved at Level 15 and then POOF the Speed stat is like more than doubled, which really is quite ridiculous. Like from 13 to 34, ._.

AND WTF ARE YOU SERIOUS TOGEPI COMES AT LEVEL 1 WITH EXTRASENSORY?! Okay yes that is major, major wtf. Somehow I think Metronome could be better than Extrasensory. It depends, actually, because my Level 3 Togepi just bashed up a Level 7 Ekans. With Extrasensory. Yes, wtf.

Okay, on to the actual post.

I hate, absolutely hate, how I seem to do everything routinely. For example: I open google chrome, open gmail first, then open three new tabs. Then the first one will be my blog, the second will be facebook, and the third will be tumblr. Then I do whatever is needed. Then I open another tab, and go to livejournal. And I noticed that every single time this never deviates. :/ It's kind of like how everytime when I visit people's blogs I always visit in a particular order. And it's like I just know some people won't/can't update their blogs but I still refuse to skip that step anyway. And there's even a direct link to the one right after that. What on earth is wrong with me.

:/ Having nothing to do stinks.

Love is such a gamble In this great big world

Have I already mentioned, Standing In The Hallway has got to be the weirdest Bangles song ever? Well, almost reaching the standards of Waiting For You, Song For A Good Son, and Return Post. That's not to say that it's not good, it's just very un-Bangly. Urk.

Okay I haven't been posting much here because I was re-teaching myself html and CSS, and also playing around with javabat (now officially renamed codingbat). I miss java! But I can't solve the more difficult ones though. That is, those that include weird stuff like i++/count++ and str.substring all in the same part. It gives me headaches. Boolean operators still have the same attraction as they did back when we started java. For some reason double ampersands look a lot better than just one. And ! is the not operator. || is or! && is and! The only thing I have against java (and CSS too for that matter) is that it reads stuff from top bottom so everything has to be in order or else your code is screwed. Ah well. At least logic problems are easier to solve than array (and advanced string) problems. Because all you use in logic is BOOLEAN! And that means no str.substring(str.length()+2, str.length()-3), count++ or anything like that. Also, both arrays and advanced strings involves char and anything with char kills me. Yup, too awesome right?

Example string code:
public String withoutX2(String str) {
if (str.length() < 1)
return str;
if (str.length() < 2 && str.equals("x"))
return ("");
if (str.length() < 3 && str.equals("xx"))
return ("");
if (str.substring(0,2).equals("xx"))
return (str.substring(2));
if (str.substring(0,1).equals("x"))
return (str.substring(1));
if (str.substring(1,2).equals("x"))
return (str.substring(0,1) + str.substring(2));
else
return str;
}

Example logic code:
public boolean squirrelPlay(int temp, boolean isSummer) {
if ((temp > 59 && temp < 91 && !(isSummer))||(temp > 59 && temp < 101 && (isSummer)))
return true;
else
return false;
}

Yes, I wrote both up. Which one looks simpler? Go figure. Also, logic is much, much simpler to understand and to write, which is essential for not cluttering things, because all you need in return is true or false, unlike strings in which the answer is all about str.substring or str.length() or str. True, I could have used || for the string one but that would have made it even more confusing to read.

Of course, there is a cheat method to solve javabat problems if you're trying to debug. (: You can just run it and see what's the problem, then specifically devote a line to it. Another general rule of thumb: if "The left-hand side of an assignment must be a variable" occurs to you then you change whatever it is you're trying to evauluate into a variable, for example, changing
if (b - a = 10)
return true;
to
int ba = b - a;
if (ba == 10)
return true;

I almost sound like I'm promoting logic for java. With the exception that the example for logic is really simple so maybe it isn't fair after all. :/

Tell them a hookah-smoking caterpillar Has given you the call

I love this one, (:. It's from the UXM: Divided We Stand arc I think? Where Mastermind has changed everyone into hippies, sort of.

Haha some people have been asking me to help them edit X-Men images for LJ userpics recently. So now I have some rare images (one very cool unreleased one of Psylocke included! It's in black and white and is really, really, lovely) + my own edits, which usually means playing around with text, colour and transparency. It's amusing how everyone make icons by changing the colours, adding tints and effects and whatnot but I have to do it by fixing transparency. And trust me, playing with transparency is very cool. I can try to find one of my old and previously uploaded ones of Michael Steele.

I've been posting them on tumblr because I really don't want to take up my imageshack space, plus it's already overloaded with tons of other pictures. I love playing with transparency! And font colours, sizes, types! Hmm. Tumblr is so annoying. :/ Amusingly enough, I have Facebook, tumblr, LJ, blogger, now I'm just short of MySpace, Skype and Twitter. Not that I'm ever going to use Twitter, but possibly MySpace...? Anyways. Attempting to personalize tumblr is annoying, because I can't figure out what goes where especially when it comes to doing some html editing. So you know what? Never mind.

I really hate stuff that have been truncated. Such a waste of time, no?

I love Christmas Eve. Maybe even more so than Christmas itself. It's the one night of the year when the entire world just...stops. In those few hours before the dawn - human, mutant, everyone, just sort of holds their breath in sweet anticipation...waiting to see how badly they're going to be disappointed in the morning. In its own tragic way...it's kind of romantic. That's why I love Christmas Eve.

It's true, I tell you.

Kitty: Come on, Scott! This is the White Queen we're talking about, remember? She was our enemy! And you want to let her take the power of the Phoenix?
Logan: Let her go, kid.
Kitty: What?
Logan: She smells alright.
Kitty: That's just the Chanel.
Emma: Dior, darling. Always Dior.
Kitty releases Emma.
Scott: Good girl.
Kitty: Too many guys on this team.

I'm crazy for crying I'm crazy for trying I'm crazy for loving you

As if listening to Frank Sinatra wasn't weird enough (now I'm crazy for listening to Willie Nelson, haha).

Scott: "Obesity is a national epidemic!"
Emma: "So is anorexia. When's the last time you had a meal?"

Emma: "...what on earth is in a... Twinkie?"
Hank: "Sugar, enriched flour, partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, polysorbate 60 and yellow dye #5."
Ororo: "You just know that because it's the line in Die Hard."
Hank: "I have never had the distinct pleasure of viewing Die Hard, and I certainly do not have the dialogue memorized."

Scott: "How are you sleeping?"
Emma: "I seem to recall a few hours about six days ago. Good times."

Emma: "You feel no pain. You will go straight to a hospital . Remember nothing of this place. And every time you hear the words 'parsley', 'intractable', or 'longitude', you will vomit uncontrollably for forty-eight hours."

Hank: "Should we be worried? What is that?"
Emma: "Oh, what does it look like, Henry? It's bloody Jean, showing off again."

Jean: "What makes you such a bitch, Emma?"
Emma: "Breeding, darling. Top class breeding."

Quotes from different places. I have to repeat myself, Emma has the best quotes ever. Oh, Spiderman has some great ones too, but I just can't find any presently.

Oh good grief I am laughing so hard at ________ I think I'm going to fall off the chair. Wait, I didn't. That's a good thing.

Also: I FOUND PHOENIX: ENDSONG AND PHOENIX: WARSONG. How awesome is that! :D Greg Land is an awesome artist. :D UXM 498 and 499 are great too. Now I'm just looking for AXM 311 to 314. I think.

Again, most of this post were quotes. I think I shall habitually do this quoting thing. It makes my life a hell lot easier.

Fill my heart with song And let me sing forevermore

Fly me to the moon
And let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars

My mother and I are on a Frank Sinatra roll.

KWANGLIN GAVE ME HER GUITAR, I AM SO HAPPY!

People who read, please tag. It feels weird to say stuff like that but it's creepy when I know some people (ahemahem) read but don't tag. Makes me feel kind of stalked. So please, spare me.

I am terrible at sending out emails because I never know how people are going to react when they receive one-liners, such as I _________ for __________. Then a 'thank you'. And then I have no idea what else to say. And then every time I send emails I have to ask someone to help me proofread them, which would normally be kaiyan because she's the one telling me to send the email or the one I'm talking to then.

Facetious. Irrelevantly funny. I think the word seems to fit quite well with respect to a lot of things, like, um, maybe I really shouldn't mention it but hell yeah!

Dr Ng will be our Chem RA teacher! She is nice and therefore next year's Chem will be awesome, I think. The only thing that kind of sucks is that everything school-related will be somehow linked to June, which presents a problem because SPECS COURSE IS IN JUNE. I can't believe it, so far I've confirmed that 4/6 Chem RA people from 209 are taking trip science HISTORY and I'm so far the only one taking geog. PLEASE HUIMIN TELL ME YOU'RE TAKING GEOG TOO IF NOT I'LL GO OUT OF MY MINDDDDDDDDDD (say it the way Vicki Peterson does).

[You will only remember those that are close to you, the rest don't get any mention.
False words, all you have said. They're all just false words you don't mean.]

When logic and proportion Have fallen sloppy dead

Does anyone recognise the lyrics in the title? Um, virtual cookie to anyone who does. If you need a hint, it's related to Alice in Wonderland. Kind of.

MARVEL WHY WON'T YOU LET ME READ PHOENIX WARSONG, ):. It has an awesome storyline! I've read like 19 pages of it or something? Not including the covers and synopses. And all are disjointed. KILL ME NOW, SOMEONE. I want someone to put it all in a full volume instead of five volumes of 24 pages each. Better if it's coloured, but it doesn't really matter, does it?

Yup okay best part ever from Phoenix Warsong. Volume #4, by the way.
Thousand-in-One: *Mother!*
Emma: Celeste. I know you can hear them. Those are your sisters. They haven't done anything. They don't deserve to ---
Celeste: Quiet, Miss Frost...
Celeste whams Emma in the gut with the Phoenix force.
Emma: ---die...

Phoenix: I am life. I am fire. My name is Phoenix.
Celeste screams.
Celeste: No no no no I'm not the Phoenix! I'm just Celeste, too much too much too much too much. Can't stop stop stop stop help help help help HELP!
Phoenix: You're no fun at all, are you?

Celeste: Who-- who are you?
Phoenix: The Phoenix, silly. Or a fragment of her anyway. She'd been shattered into a billion pieces... but then I heard you call.
Celeste: I didn't-- didn't call you.
Phoenix: Oh, but you did. Your hungry little mind. Always wondering what it is to feel. To burn. To live. How could I pass you by? But now you're scared. You couldn't even tell that nice boy down there that you like him.
Celeste: Jake? But I just met him! And he's not a boy, he's a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, and-- why are we talking about this? This is stupid! You're the Phoenix, and you're going to make me destroy the world!
Phoenix: Where on earth did you get that idea?
Celeste: The Phoenix killed five billion people.
Phoenix: And saved the universe a few times.
Celeste: Too... too much. Too much too much too much.
Phoenix: Of course it is. It's more than any human being can bear. How can killing five billion -- or even a single person-- ever be anything but evil? How could this power-- this hunger we have-- be anything but evil? But I couldn't have come to you if there wasn't a reason for all of this, Celeste.
Celeste: Then wh-- what--
Phoenix: You already know. You've spoken the words yourself. I am life. I am fire. Now stop fighting me... and do your job.

Sophie and Esme have been resurrected into zombies.
Emma: My girls...
Sophie/Esme: Don't cry, mother. You still have us.
Emma holds them by the neck.
Emma: GRRAAA!
Sophie/Esme: Is that any way to treat your favo[u]rite daughters?
Emma: You're not my favo[u]rite daughters! You're just Weapon Plus zombies, bags of bone filled with recorded memories and nanotech!
Sophie/Esme: Whatever. Our dear sister Celeste is about to destroy the world. And we don't much like getting incinerated. So are you going to help us stop her or what?
Scott: You can smell lies, can't you, Logan?
Logan: Not when the subject's been dead for more than a week or so. But they've got a point.

I suspect the above quoted part is going to actually be really long. Emma already knows she's their genetic mother, and that they're technically her clones, so she's calling them her daughters. And I put Sophie/Esme because I really can't tell whether it's Sophie or Esme since one is wearing blue and one is wearing pink. But they didn't state anything, plus I'm quite sure they weren't buried in blue and pink anyway so there's no way of telling. But it's the one in blue who speaks, anyway. Oh, and in the comic, they spelt 'favourite' without a 'u' so I'm treating it as an additional add-in. Also, it is kind of annoying to have to type a word/phrase four times over especially when it comes to Celeste. Gets a little old after a while. If the above quote is really confusing. I could just attach the pictures to this post, but that would be boring.

The Stepford Cuckoos are so interesting. Or should I say, entertaining.

Okay another long post about Marvel comics. Specificallt X-Men. GRRAAA SHERMINE STOP BEING SO RANDOM AND WEIRD. UGH. Because no one's interested in finding out about the X-Men anyway. *Thrashes head around following a certain rhythm. Think of it as being similar to what Yan Tong was doing on Drama Nite.*

No fear, no pain In a finer state of grace A bird of prey

Void: "I am the Void! I am the bringer of death and destruction to this world!!"
Spiderman: "Oh, man, I'm sorry, we weren't really looking for a bringer of destruction... but we'll take your application and let you know if there's an opening."

Lindy: "You want to pull my memories out and show them to my husband?"
Emma: "If it's okay."
Lindy: "You yanked my entire brain out of my body... but you're asking permission to borrow a memory?"
Emma: "I was trying to be polite."

Sentinel #1: "Man, isn't anyone gonna invade today?"
Sentinel #2: "Keep your mind on the job, Slayton."
Sentinel #1: "The job sucks, Lex. 'Look, but don't touch'? Jeez! And everytime I try to spy on the girls' dorms, the blonde lady gives me a stress headache and a nosebleed."

Scott: "She's been psychically linked to all five of them from the moment they found the marauder base. You know how Sinister has always been able to shield his people against telepathic attack? Well, in my book a good idea is worth stealing."

Word for word, down to the italicized portions, because I found the panels online and directly copied off them.

It's hard to find comic images [that are ridiculously funny]. And because of the forum board I go to most of the stuff have Emma in them, which gets pretty old but character analysis is rather interesting though. And [at least!] for a change it isn't about Wolverine, Cyclops or Jean (I hate Jean, I think I already mentioned it, because she's so fake and can come back to life any day, and I'm not even comparing her to anyone else). Or Remy or Rogue for that matter.

Exiles! It's so fun to read.

And the only reason why my posts are so filled with weird Marvel references nowadays is because I've been borrowing and reading.

To my way of thinking In fact she'll often disagree

But at the end of it all
She will understand me
Somebody, Depeche Mode

(I am surprised that my mother knows Soundgarden, Depeche Mode, Def Leppard, Nirvana and Deep Purple, but then again I guess I should be surprised since they're all pretty old bands. It still is weird and cool that I listen to the same songs/bands as my parents, though we don't always agree.)

You have no idea how Forever totally ruins the image Kiss made in I Was Made For Loving You. As in, they're both nice songs, but Forever kind of doesn't match the hard rock image. Especially with the face paint. And Gene Simmons and his creepily long tongue, heh. WHY DID ACE FREHLEY LEAVE. ): Although that was technically decades ago, but still! Oh and Gene Simmons' face make up is too awesome.

Also, I must mention it's too amusing how Logan perpetually calls Scott a douchebag. Especially during the scene where he lets Emma read his mind so that he could get the sword and kill Sabretooth. But that scene has amazing artwork, so yup :D.

For the extra sake of being random! I think the following quote happened when... Jean kind of ripped through Emma's memories? The part before she gets shattered by Esme. Or as the 'database' so eloquently puts it, "A walk down the memory lane, courtesy of Jean."(See, another reason why I dislike Jean. Although the Jean-lovers will murder me.)
“Your pacifist posturing hides a playground bully, Jean Grey!”
- Emma Frost, New X-Men #139
I like how just too many of her quotes are so jibe-ish and overall AMUSING.

I really don't know what to say now. (D:)

Michael Steele, Ace Frehley, Karen Carpenter and George Harrison. Musical genuises.

Oh, and apparently I walk really fast and my steps are really large. 111 (or 55.5 too for that matter) is an amusing number though, don't you think?

"If you can survive success, you can survive anything."

Post 200!

WOOHOO I GOT INTO CHEM RA! (Does happy little jig around a barbeque pit, :D. And I wasn't even expecting to get in, because I know there're a lot of people better than me.)
Well, so now we'll see each other again next year HOW AWESOME IS THAT!

The end of the year is coming again. Let's review stuff!

Okay, so this year's personal theme song is Good Times I guess? Because you know one day we'll share those good times again and et cetera!

109'09/209'10: I will miss you people! Next year won't be the same without our class BUT WE WILL HAVE LOTS OF PARTIES BECAUSE WE ARE PARTYING PEOPLE. Who play twister. Well yeah we will always be friends! And 109'09/209'10 will always be in our hearts and I'll never forget you guys. Ever. (And yes, you know I mean it because I would never say this otherwise.) I wonder if people will remember me by the end of Sec 4 but I think when you think of everything we've done together, I know we won't ever forget each other. Even if we don't consciously remember each other, it'll always be somewhere in our memory. Like how we improved by 100%. And how we read random Marvel comics together. And how we got second for drama night. And how we worked together as a class. So I guess I'll miss everyone and their funny antics and what we do in the morning and during recess and OUR AWESOME CLASS in general.

AB4: What can I say? We still have two more years to go. Let's make the best out of them. This year has been an awesome year, and we got to know each other even better. Although there was that entire thing which put a lot of people in a bad mood we came out of it stronger and more bonded, or so I would like to think. Well, at least we work better now. Part B year has been a great year for us, there was so much to do and so much fun. Maybe the next will be better! Thanks for being supportive and comforting and helpful and everything even when I didn't ask for it. I'll try not to be so... annoying? Because I know I am, and I can kind of tell a lot of people think I am too, haha. (Don't worry, this will be much longer by the end of Sec 4.) AND HEY WE NEED ORIENTEERING TEAM DINNER.

INFOCOMMAS: We still have a long way to go. There's really nothing much to say here, but I'm really happy our batch can be so... relatively large (?) and still be so bonded. WE NEED BATCH LUNCH/DINNER. Think of the pizzas! When we get to Sec 4 I request pepperoni pizzas for farewell. I know Tamisha will agree with me and I know Allison wants seafood. And Michelle probably wants either mushroom delight or vegetarian and Yen Siang will eat... anything? I think? What made this year so memorable were things like iSpace (YESHHH, I still remember my co-facilitators and um um um I CAN REMEMBER TESSA BECAUSE THAT IS THE NAME OF ONE OF THE X-MEN CHARACTERS) and et cetera! I realized this year how fun it can actually be to be a facilitator, it's a great feeling when you're tired and happy at the end of it all. LET'S CONTINUE DOING WEIRD STUFF AND SCREW THE ENTIRE SCHOOL OVER WITH OUR AWESOME IPHONE APP DEVELOPING/HACKING/HTML PROGRAMMING SKILLZZ.

[Oh man I just got a review and you have no idea how darned happy it makes me. *Has warm fuzzy feeling.* On that note, I need to continue writing, my file has been stagnant since like what, months ago? Maybe I should stop whatever else I'm writing and force myself to work on it. And quit doing stuff halfway.]

Oh, and for the sake of being random, go here! Haha speaking of in-jokes like aziMOVE and shield volcanoes and Silver Wing in-jokes I'll never think of such mundane things the same way again. Apparently Matthew Sweet is going to play bass on their new album. But since the way the Bangles operate is so... how shall I put it, flexible, he'll probably end up playing every other instrument too.

I WANT TO GET THE EMMA FROST SERIES BECAUSE IT IS WAY TOO COOL. And Emma Frost is one of my favourite characters. (I know, people start giving me weird looks when I say that. Which is strange, because people can like Phoenix who has caused wayyyy more damage and hurt more people than the White Queen and still people can love Jean and hate Emma. How ridiculous is that? And everyone dislikes Betsy too but hey blame Scott for cheating on Jean. And anyway Emma and Betsy don't owe her any vows of fidelity, so you can't really blame them.) It's unfair how everyone hates Betsy and Emma and Lorna and Tessa and et cetera ughhhh. I should stop here or this will end up as an essay soon.

All of a sudden I want white boots. And white opera gloves, because they would match very nicely. I think. Imagine wearing a black outfit with white gloves/boots! That would be way awesome.

On a completely unrelated note, hand mopping the floor alone gives you a strange sense of satisfaction. And an aching back.

The methods of madness, the pathos and the sadness,

God help you all, the insane and wise.
The black and the white, the darkness of the night,
I see only smoke from the chimneys arise.

Haven't been feeling like posting lately, so sigh.

I'm being all Sandy Denny-ish right now because the lyrics of her songs paint images in your head and they're so descriptive. I think it is sad that no one knows Late November. Or most of her other songs for that matter. Not even Crazy Lady Blues or Bushes and Briars or Northstar Grassman and the Ravens. Which are wonderful songs. Also, does it make sense that the track for SFAGS is much, much smaller than IDWTSG? By about ten times?

Currently feeling extremely annoyed, for reasons I shan't state because it would be mean to do so and ARGH YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. Okay never mind I'm sorry anyway and hey it'll turn out alright because we'll make it turn out alright. Yup okay you'll never walk alone!

As a response to the question posed at the end of 110's Drama Night play, in Siobhan Maher's words, "What's wrong with dreaming?"

Oh and haha ruitong "snapsnap like a mousetrap!"

Finally decided to re-download my entire Bangles songs list because I lost my thumbdrive. I am short of about more than half of it, but 10 ~ 15 is already a relatively good start. Yay. Maybe I'll just transfer from my old phone, but that'll just make me waste more time trying to get it to even bloody connect.

Just noticed, this post is peppered with multiple random references to songs and song titles.

And the trouble is
You don't believe that it's true
When the sun goes down
There's something left for you

The trouble is
I see you missing so much
While you're knocking on all the wrong doors
Looking for some angel's touch

You think she's
Everything you're dreaming of
The trouble is
Those angels never fall in love
