  • A few songs floating in my head.

    It's not a silly little moment, it's not the storm before the calm.
    This is the deep and dying breath of this love that we've been working on.

    Can't seem to hold you like I want to, so I can feel you in my arms.
    Nobody's gonna come and save you, we pulled too many false alarms.

    We're going down, and you can see it too.
    We're going down, and you know that we're doomed.
    My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room.

    I was the one you always dreamed of, you were the one I tried to draw.
    How dare you say it's nothing to me? Baby, you're the only light I ever saw.

    I'll make the most of all the sadness, you'll be a bitch because you can.
    You try to hit me just to hurt me so you leave me feeling dirty
    'cause you can't understand.

    We're going down, and you can see it too.
    We're going down, and you know that we're doomed.
    My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room.

    Go cry about it - why don't you?
    My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room.

    Don't you think we ought to know by now?
    Don't you think we should've learned somehow?

    It's been a long, long time since I looked into the mirror
    I guess that I was blind, now my reflection's getting clearer
    Now that you're gone things will never be the same again

    There's not a minute that goes by every hour of every day
    You're such a part of me but I just pulled away
    Well, I'm not the same girl you used to know
    I wish I said the words I never showed

    I know you had to go away
    I died just a little, and I feel it now
    You're the one I need
    I believe that I would cry just a little
    Just to have you back now
    Here with me; here with me

    You know that silence is loud when all you hear is your heart
    And I wanted so badly just to be a part of something strong and true
    But I was scared and left it all behind

    I know you had to go away
    I died just a little, and I feel it now
    You're the one I need
    I believe that I would cry just a little
    Just to have you back now
    Here with me; here with me

    And I'm asking
    And I'm wanting you to come back to me, please

    I never will forget that look upon your face
    How you turned away and left without a trace
    But I understand that you did what you had to do, and I thank you

    I know you had to go away
    I died just a little, and I feel it now
    You're the one I need
    I believe that I would cry just a little
    Just to have you back now
    Here with me; here with me

    ~Michelle Branch, Here With Me

    Somewhere there's speaking, it's already coming in
    Oh, and it's rising at the back of your mind
    You never could get it unless you were fed it
    Now you're here and you don't know why

    But under skinned knees and the skid marks
    Past the places where you used to learn
    You howl and listen, listen and wait for the
    Echoes of angels who won't return

    He's everything you want, he's everything you need
    He's everything inside of you that you wish you could be
    He says all the right things at exactly the right time
    But he means nothing to you and you don't know why

    You're waiting for someone to put you together
    You're waiting for someone to push you away
    There's always another wound to discover
    There's always something more you wish he'd say

    He's everything you want, he's everything you need
    He's everything inside of you that you wish you could be
    He says all the right things at exactly the right time
    But he means nothing to you and you don't know why


    But you'll just sit tight and watch it unwind
    It's only what you're asking for
    And you'll be just fine with all of your time
    It's only what you're waiting for

    Out of the island, into the highway
    Past the places where you might have turned
    You never did notice but you still hide away
    The anger of angels who won't return

    He's everything you want, he's everything you need
    He's everything inside of you that you wish you could be
    He says all the right things at exactly the right time
    But he means nothing to you and you don't know why

    I am everything you want, I am everything you need
    I am everything inside of you that you wish you could be
    I say all the right things at exactly the right time
    But I mean nothing to you and I don't know why

  • *poke*

    Yeah, I still check this sometimes.

    Hi.



    If you have access but didn't know it, my other account has a new entry. And if you don't have access, I might have to edit the list. Depends on who still reads.


    I'm not really comfortable giving out anything yet. I'm sure there are plenty who still spy from time to time, and even though I have this set to lock out anyone who isn't registered, that's still a lot of people who can spy on me. Needless to say, there are going to be a lot of changes coming up really soon. A lot.

    So. Yeah. That's about all for now.

  • Smiley face.

    [/mastur cheef]

    First, the sucky. My throat hurts. I feel like I have a raw stripe running down one side of it. I have to be careful what I eat and do with my throat for awhile.

    Oh, and in case you didn't know already, the AI people were looking for crazy-outgoing personalities moreso than singing ability. So no, I didn't make first cut. Oh well.


    Now, the good. Giants game Saturday. And who's pitching? That's right. The man who deserves a Cy Young, Tim Lincecum.

    And the excellent? John Mayer concert tonight. Booyah!



    So that means I need to get to bed. Preferably now. Time to quit listening to anime theme songs (Bleach = <3) and get off the computer.

    Speaking of Bleach, I think I have Rukia's hairdo by now, except with bangs. Hmm. I need me an Uryuu to sew a cute dress for me....

  • KDsdkfndfoahegrefjzomgzomgzomg.

    .... I must be insane.

    Partly because I'm actually using this thing, and not just to spy on the few I'm subscribed who still blog semi-regularly. But mostly for a different reason.


    I am in SF right now. A bit before 5 this morning, I headed down to the Cow Palace just outside the City. I parked my car, walked inside, chatted with a couple of guys for about 10 minutes, and walked out of there with a wristband, ticket and stack of paperwork.

    And it's beginning to sink in - I'm actually going to be going back tomorrow, probably a bit earlier, to try out for American Idol.



    Commence freaking out.

  • Art and I had a little excursion a couple weeks ago. We drove through Napa and Sonoma, made it to Bodega Bay and came back again. Fun times.

    I guess I should show a couple of pics, since I've been working on them in Photoshop and uploaded them to my Flickr and all.

    Bodega Bay:


    A gorgeous field of flowers in the Napa area:


    Black and white shot of the Flamingo Inn in Santa Rosa:


    Lake Berryessa:
    (note. The water was green. I managed to salvage some of that in photochop..)
    <

    One of the wineries we passed by:


    There's more on my Flickr. Almost all of the pics are from that trip, because I got to use Art's spiffy camera to take them. Photo quality in the camera I had (and can't find) just isn't comparable. 8 megapixels beats the crud out of 4.3.
