Eve 6 – “Think Twice”

When all is said and done
And dead does he love you
The way that I do
Breathing in lightning
Tonight’s for fighting
I feel the hurt so physical

Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around I’ll let you feel the burn
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around come around no more
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around I’ll let you feel the burn
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around no more

She spreads her love
She burns me up
I can’t let go
I can’t get out
I’ve said enough
Enough by now
I can’t let go
I can’t get out

Wait till the day you finally see
I’ve been here waiting patiently
Crossing my fingers and my t’s
She cried on my shoulder begging please

What is it you really want
I’m tired of asking
You’re gone I’m wasted

When I showed up and he was there
I tried my best to grin and bear
And took the stairs but didn’t stop at the street
And as we speak I’m going down

Cause she spread her love
And burnt me up
I can’t let go
I can’t get out
I’ve said enough
Enough by now
I can’t let go
I can’t get out

Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around I’ll let you feel the burn
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around come around no more
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around I’ll let you feel the burn
Think twice before you touch my girl
Come around no more

Considering the number of fandoms I follow (namely, HP/SW/LOTR), there have been many discussions on the similarities between the stories and the characters. Whether it be from what’s considered typical ‘legend’, to the situations that the characters are put through.
Well, here’s one comparison that I came across recently and thought was interesting. Most of those points I’ve seen before, the flying one was something I’d overlooked. Shame they hadn’t added LOTR ones, because the whole dementor/Nazgul comparison gets me every time :P Interesting read anyways.

Been listening to a few D/Hr fan mixes lately – definitely a good way to find new music. At the moment, I’m particularly liking The Killers (Mr Brightside), Something Corporate (Ruthless), The All-American Rejects (Dirty Little Secrets), The Used (Hard To Say) and Fall Out Boy (Sugar, We’re Goin’ Down). Also, thanks to Travis for showing me Resurrection Eve who are heaps good, I must say. I haven’t listened to that sort of music for a while, and not really into ‘goth’ as such. Don’t really listen to much metal music either, which I’m not sure if it’s because I’m not in that sort of mood anymore or I’ve just mellowed out and prefer alt-rock? In any case, go and see what you think of the bands I’ve mentioned.

Ok, I had to rant. I just had to. Because it’s not over yet and I’m already annoyed. What am I talking about? Grad Apps.

For anyone in the penultimate year of uni, this is a very real, very horrible experience. It requires you to sound like a complete arrogant twit and spout great things about yourself which may or may not be complete exaggerations of the truth. Unfortunately, I was not born a liar. Or an embellisher. Pretty much, I tell it like it is. So it’s really hard to sit here and think of answers to the following questions:
- Describe your most memorable moment in the last 12 months
- Describe a big sacrifice you made to achieve a goal
- Describe a time you believe you inspired others
- Describe your favourite team environment and why
- Describe an opportunity you identified and took advantage of in the last 2 years
- Describe a time in the last 2 years when you pushed the boundaries to deliver outstanding results
- Describe a time in the last 2 years when you won others over to your way of thinking

Honestly! I don’t care if I work in a team environment or not, I’ll deal with it. And I’ll also do what it takes to get the job done. I don’t care if people think like me, as long as they’re doing a good job. And I’m hoping my most memorable moment will be clobbering my computer to bits in a fit of rage over answering another question about myself. Except that, if I have no job, then I can’t afford to buy a new computer. Shame really.

Yes, the pressure is getting to me. No, I don’t really care what this says about me. No, I don’t know what I want to do in the next week let alone the next three years. Really, I’d like to never have to study again in my lifetime.

*sigh*. I just want them over with so I can wait for the rejection e-mails to come in. I really gotta stop them getting to me.

Ok. I’m fairly sure bots have been doing weird things with the commenting feature of my site. I’ve deleted all the ones that advertise some odd website, but … there are these ones that are like “Well done admin, that’s really good”. What’s with that? I’ve left them though cos they’re somewhat amusing. If you’re reading my blog, it’s fairly obvious what my name is… so referring to me as admin isn’t exactly good is it? o_O How odd. Anyways, I must look into stopping bots from commenting, not sure how to do that. Bloody.

Wanted to add a few other things on here too:
- To Do List
- Wish list
- Movie list
- Few icons on the side

I think that’ll also make the right hand side look a bit more even compared to the left side, but that’s ok. As Manda pointed out to me a few days ago, the link on the calendar to go back is a bit borked. But I knew that already, I just haven’t worked out how to fix it :P

Pretty girl is suffering, while he confesses everything
Pretty soon she’ll figure out what his intentions were about
That’s what you get for falling again
You can never get ‘em out of your head

It’s the way
That he makes you feel
It’s the way
That he kisses you
It’s the way
That he makes you fall in love

She’s beautiful as usual with bruises on her ego and
Her killer instinct tells her to beware of evil men
And that’s what you get for falling again
You can never get ‘em out of your head
And that’s what you get for falling again
You can never get ‘em out of your head

It’s the way
That he makes you feel
It’s the way
That he kisses you
It’s the way
That he makes you fall in love
Love

Sugarcult – Pretty Girl (The Way)

So, yesterday was the first “Manda and Rosi’s Friday Drinks” at The Arthouse. Heh, think it went pretty well. Finally got to do absinthe properly. God, it burned. It’s kind of weird, I’ve always read about people who find that the taste of alcohol ‘burns’ their throat. And sure, sometimes doing straight shots there’s a funny tingly feeling. But not ‘burning’. Well, glad to say, I was wrong. Because the absinthe BUUUURRRNS. It was pretty damn cool :P So yeah, now I just need to save up again so I can afford to drink next month. Somehow didn’t get to the happy place as quickly this time, even though I was more tired. I’m guessing the lack of beer had something to do with it? Who knows. Was fun all round anyways. And we had PIE afterwards. So hey, the night was complete!

See, we even got our own sign!

Thanks go to Maiku for this cool as link to online database, Lazybase. I checked it out, think you just fixed my problem of how to get my MS Access database of my DVD collection onto the web. So, here it is: http://lazybase.com/wafdvd/. You can check all of it out there and see what DVDs I’ve got. If you’re nice, I’ll even let you borrow one or two :P

This is the only lonely picture
Waiting on my floor littering my shore
This is the last true burning letter
Given to a girl
Written by a boy
Living in a world
Created to destroy

But if I built you a city
Would you let me in?
Would you tear it down?

This is your ghost that kneels before me
Razors on her tongue, a body full of oxygen
It won’t be the last time she’ll ignore me
Thinning in my skin
Without the strength, to go
Winter setting in
To cover you in snow

But there you go for the last time
I finally know what I should have known then
And I could still be ruthless if you let me
But there you go when I’m not done
You’re waving goodbye well at least you’re having fun
the rising tide will not let you forget me
forget me
forget me
forget me, yeah

I’ll raise towers and climb them
Rivers and walk them
Oceans to drown in
you won’t make a sound in

But there you go for the last time
I finally know what I should have known then
And I could still be ruthless if you let me
But there you go when I’m not done
You’re waving goodbye well at least you’re having fun
the rising tide will not let you forget me
