Okay, it's official. I am obsessed with

( this. )


Lyrics:

How many times do I have to try to tell you
That I'm sorry for the things I've done
But when I start to try to tell you
That's when you have to tell me
Hey... this kind of trouble's only just begun
I tell myself too many times
Why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut
That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words
That keep on falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Tell me...
Why
Why

I may be mad
I may be blind
I may be viciously unkind
But I can still read what you're thinking
And I've heard it said too many times
That you'd be better off
Besides...
Why can't you see this boat is sinking
(this boat is sinking this boat is sinking)
Let's go down to the water's edge
And we can cast away those doubts
Some things are better left unsaid
But they still turn me inside out
Turning inside out turning inside out
Tell me...
Why
Tell me...
Why

This is the book I never read
These are the words I never said
This is the path I'll never tread
These are the dreams I'll dream instead
This is the joy that's seldom spread
These are the tears...
The tears we shed
This is the fear
This is the dread
These are the contents of my head
And these are the years that we have spent
And this is what they represent
And this is how I feel
Do you know how I feel
'cause i don't think you know how I feel
I don't think you know what I feel
I don't think you know what I feel
You don't know what I feel

Hey lj world! Is there anyone here looking to buy a guitar? My boyfriend is selling his, and it's a pretty darn good deal, if you ask me.

[ music | Smashing Pumpkins - Ava Adore ]

Time for a NORMAL update, rather than quizzes and random crap like that. Because I kind of need to vent to something anonymous, even if I know people will read it after.

There is an aspect of my personality that I don't understand. (Actually, there are several. But let's highlight just one of them for today). Even though I have an incredibly loving and supportive family, even though I have plenty of friends whom I love and who love me, even though I have the best boyfriend imaginable...I still get struck with these crippling waves of self-doubt. Do my friends think of me when I'm not around? Do people from Glenlawn miss me? Is the love I have for people returned even quarter-fold? Generally I have a tendency to trust people far too easily, but this is balanced out by moments when the pendulum swings in the complete opposite direction, and for just a moment I doubt even those closest to me. Logic is never a factor during these moments and I cannot be comforted. Once it's passed (usually the next morning) I realize that it's silly and unfounded, but nevertheless it happens again. And there's nothing I can do to stop it.

I will never be able to live alone. Being in a house at night when I'm alone is when I find that I'm confronted by my demons. And I am ill-equipped to fight them. 

Alright people, don't get me wrong. I'm not depressed or anything. I just needed to vent. =)

Fine (in every context)

[ mood | chipper ]
[ music | Smetana - The Moldau ]

Passing history is sleeping with the window open. Passing history is my duvet. Passing history is kittens. It is a rollercoaster (and I love rollercoasters). Passing history is thinking that you have to get up, but realizing that you have an hour left to sleep. Passing history is being prepared for a lesson. Passing history is a new Red Hot Chili Peppers album. Passing history is an in-tune acoustic guitar. Passing history is Strawberry Banana Cheerios. It is spending time with friends. It has taken away my last excuse not to get a tattoo.

Okay, so, even though I've done this a million times, I'm going to do it again, with a different band since I can't sleep and I'm horibbly bored. Note that it's 4:30. Note that I have to be up at nine. That is all.

[ music | Radiohead - Subterranean Homesick Alien ]

Write 5 weird things/habits about yourself, then choose 5 friends to tag, and list their names.

1. When I am asleep, NO AMOUNT OF WORK will get me out of bed until I am personally ready. Honestly, you could tell me that my parents died and I'd probably say "Well, they'll still be dead when I wake up. Get out of my room."

2. My right eye squeaks. No joke. Next time you see me, ask me about it.

3. I would be happiest if the weather alternated in weeks, one week of thunderstorms and one week of near-blistering heat.

4. When people give me things, I never throw them away. Seriously, I've got about 25 useless business cards in my wallet that I will never use, or even look at.

5. I I've worn Superman pyjama pants for the last three days straight. Literally.

wish you were here
