lord of song
(and maybe there's a god above

but all i ever learned from love

was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you)

Homophobic pride? Wow, hate for DIVERSITY and DIFFERENCE and EQUALITY... That's new, guys, really new. You're going to have to work hard to make that statement equate into the factor of LOGIC.


New fandoms! These are the 3 songs I am currently obsessed with, newest at the bottom.

Vindicated - Dashboard Confessional

Anything but Ordinary - Avril Lavigne (no, the old Avril, silly)

World So Cold - 12 Stones

I love the muffled/muted sorta effect they put in the first/last verses of World So Cold. It just sounds so insistently sexy.
And the message is bloody well said too.


It starts with pain, followed by hate.

Fuelled by the endless questions that no-one can answer.

A stain covers your heart, tearing you apart like a sleeping cancer...

What kind of world do we live in?

Where love is divided by hate. Losing control of our feelings, we all must be dreaming this life away... In a world so cold.


And then it switches to a normal, non-muffled voice, and it's just so BREATHTAKING.

LoveloveloveVindicated...

Dashboard Confessional has produced a work of art here. A masterpiece.

It's written in the same fairytale language I use to write my blog, the same language I described to Lucifer the other night (who I btw added back into my allowed readers list), it's like...

We both attempt to translate feelings into words, and while I think I fail miserably, they do so with such finesse that it's impossible for them to fail.

This song, I think, would fit Kaldewei.


Hope dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
Winding in, winding out
The shine of it has caught my eye

And roped me in
So mesmerizing
So hypnotizing
I am captivated
I am

{Chorus}
Vindicated
I am selfish, I am wrong
I am right, I swear I'm right
Swear I knew it all along
And I am
Flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now
The things you swore you saw yourself

So clear
Like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intention
Oversized and overwhelmed
The shine of which has caught my eye
And rendered me so
Isolated so
Motivated
I am
Certain now that I am

{Chorus}

So turn
up the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my finger tips
Trace the moment for forever

Defense is paper thin
Just
One touch and I'll be in
Too
Deep now to ever swim
Against the current
So let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me slip against the current
So let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me slip away
So let me slip away

{Chorus}

My hope
dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption...

Anyway this Christmas season seems to be full of interesting surprises.

Last night, dinner table.

"OK so Christie, I'm dead serious about this, me and your mother have decided to set up a company..."

I hid my surprise well, I think. Anyway Papa proposed setting up a non-official company for catering to other companies, proof-reading stuff like that, I can be the Grapics Designer and design pamphlets etc. We had loads of fun talking about it after that, I was excited/nervous/happy. I can't remember most of the jokes I cracked (what a pity), but I remember sighing in mock exasperation and saying, 'I suppose a bitchy attitude isn't a winning formula for a promotion, is it?'

xD I love my lifeeeee.


Rather be anything than ordinary, please.
