Do you ever feel so in awe by an artist, of how the melody of a song is perfect, the words are perfect and their voice is perfect that it makes you feel safe, inspired, warm, impressed, touched, longing, aching and just amazed all at once?

Could it be the weather?

The Shadow

2008-02-27T13:44:47Z

The Shadow

Walk with me awhile
I've got something to say to you or ask you
I don't know
It's been a long day

If the dove falls in the sea
Never bringing us a leaf
Will you come into the shadow with me
Will you follow me under

If I wash up on the beach
And i've lost all memory
Will you come into the shadow with me
Will you follow me under

If I decide to bring it all down
Will you stay and help me figure it out
Will you come into the shadow with me
Will you follow me under

Walk awhile with me
I've got something to say to you or ask you
Will you come into the shadow with me
Will you follow me under

I know it stinks
Spinning on my fingertips

So I arrived here in St Albans on Monday, yaaay. My mom came with me (a luggage thing, grmbl! too much luggage!), and I brought her back to the airport today. So now I am here chilling out while my roomie is at work. Had to make some poo calls (formalities) but am settling in quite nicely! Although I think that's because I don't have to work yet ;)

Saw Rilo Kiley here Monday evening, that was pretty amazing! The venue was small and cosy, the sound was good & the view was excellent 'cause we stood at the front of the balcony. I got the new CD at their gig as well, it's very different from their older stuff but cool, either way -- they played lots of it live and it rocked! Great vibe :D Go listen on their MS:

Feeling radical in Cotton
Purified in my Satin
But the bomb of the season
is a Velvet Revolution

I look at the sky
and feel the tears of the
Prophets crying
I look at the sky
and feel the rain
the rain of tears

All you killers of the children
there's a new Commandment
the true Divine Creator wants a
Velvet Revolution

another one

So... Just a little rant I need to get off my chest despite all the good stuff that's going on for me at the moment...

I read on the boards that Tanya's playing a show with her (half) sister Kristin Hersh in Cambridge. Fans are raving about the last time they did an event together, it's supposed to be pretty awesome... esp since Tanya hardly ever plays lately, and a shared bill is very rare for these two ladies. PLUS of course it'd be amazing to see Boston and the area there!

Well anyway, that idea was shot to hell when I saw the flight prices to Boston. Now if it were holidays and I actually had money... but a weekend, for a show, that's just not doable :P

ETA:

[quote]
as far as i understand there are two shows.

each one has a solo tanya set, a solo kristin set, and a set together.

Together! Maaaiiiiieuh! :P

You are a modern thinker who tends to shy away from organized religion but still feels as if there is something greater than ourselves. You are very spiritual, even if you are not religious.

So I just finished the latest in my book-reading phase (a.k.a. holidays).

www.calamityphysics.com/main.htm

I had it lying around for a while after I read the introduction, deciding it was too thick and that I'd rather read some shorter stories instead ;) Now I've researched a bit, wanted to know what people thought of the story etc cause some things are still a bit obscure and it seems I'm all behind on its popularity. That might've made me start sooner lol - it's funny how that always happens *after* I read a book!

Anyway -- it was complicated what with all the references and subclauses etc but good, needless to say I suppose!

I've also finished A Spot of Bother and The Curious Incident... by Mark Haddon, the Five Ppl You Meet in Heaven by Mitch Albom and Candide (of het optimisme) by Voltaire which was random but fun!

I would recommend all those, cause I enjoyed all of them :)

sophistication... who's best?

2007-07-14T12:56:43Z

if I told you he was your brother
we could reminisce, then you would go about your day
if I said you ought to give him some of your water
you'd shake your canteen and walk away

the perception that divides you from him is a lie
for some reason you never asked why
this is not a black and white world
you can't afford to believe in your side

this is not a black and white world
to be alive I say that the colors must swirl
and I believe that maybe today
we will all get to appreciate
the beauty of gray

if I told you that she was your mother
we could analyze the situation and be gone
if I said you ought to give her some of your water
your eyes would light up like the dawn

look into your eyes
no daylight
new day now

I GOT IT!!

2007-06-27T17:12:48Z

YAAAAY I GOT ACCEPTED!!!

After weeks of waiting for the test results, more weeks of waiting for an interview, and another 3 weeks of waiting for THOSE results... I can finally say I got my placement position! This is the position I really wanted, in the middle of London, in a big subtitling/translation company :D

This was a good opportunity to bring into practice what I'd seen on the Secret, so I've been visualizing this for weeks, imagining as though I'd had it and how I'd feel, and it worked! Even though my (usually) long patience was under heavy heavy pressure (lol), it paid off! :) :) :)

I can get started on the paperwork now. I'm planning to move mid-August! So much to do :D All awesome :)

Freeze

2007-06-25T13:14:04Z

My hallucination, every drug that I
Need. I love you for your beauty. I love you
For the books you read. I watch you laze
In the sun, I watch your head come
Undone ; you smile ; the man and child with
Bee-stung lips where my tongue trips and
Curls and you kiss like a girl.
It frees me... frees me from the freeze.
And with the liberation everything's
Taken higher ; and every complication,
Another spark for the fire. You're nothing
More than eighteen but you are more than
You seem to be. You'll win me with pale
White hands and soft demands and ways
To set the days ablaze.
It frees me from the freeze...
You're like a favourite saint kept
Alive in prayer and paint. one looked a
Lot like you... saucer-eyed and stoned
And out of the blue.

new kit!!

2007-05-30T13:12:20Z

I am so proud, 'cause she's a beauty!

Specs: Tama Starclassic Performer fusion (22", 14", 12", 10") birch set, colour walnut (WN).

It came with the rack and these cool cases!

Plus I got a "Rock bag" for my hardware and a bag for my snare! So together with the hardcase set, all my stuff's well-protected 8-)

And that's not even all :o I also received my tickets for Paris to see Tori, and my new fancy phone that can take cool pictures and play music! (see pics above, ha!).

Now after all the fun, I have a lot of work to do lol so I better get back to it!!

Seriously... it's unbelievable.

2007-04-24T10:26:16Z

"I'm dreaming of love", she said - "I'm dreaming of love"

What do you think, what do you see?
She goes behind a veil
Head spinning...
Reste tranquille
Reste tranquille

They will never find you here, we'll keep you safe
Cause if I love you,
I have to get us out

She told me she'd been thinking of taking her own life
To save her
"I've been dreaming of love", she said, "but love never found me"

NOT AGAIN!!!

I just wanted to post a little bit of a song:

And you wait
For the end or the girl or the song
Or the boy or the faith
Or the leader who won't bring you shame
And you wait and you wait
And you wait

This hungry life won't let you out whole
But you can change a thing or two
Before you go
This hungry life
Might not leave you with much

Kick up some dust
Earn someone's trust
Leave a few words behind you
If you must

Pick a good fight
And keep someone up all night
Change the story, change the story
And throw a hand up from the mud

"I feel sorry for my bun"

2007-01-12T15:00:16Z

Waw I just found a CD I totally forgot about, totally at random! I was looking for another CD and came across this one, recorded sound clips of new year's eve 2003 :D James Brown, bongo solo and looooaaads of slurring. So cool to find that again! And kinda embarrassing, too :$ lol :p:p (edit: very much so in fact! lol) also at some stuff that I wonder now why I was ever worried about -- I wouldn't care less now! But it's good to see I've grown a bit lol ;)

In other news, I am one week away from test round 2, which I need to pass to go on my internship but then also, I will be halfway through the 2nd year! It goes so fast ...! One more Law themed block, and then the last 8 weeks are mostly projects. It's kinda exciting all that's gonna happen and even though it's so much work, I feel good about it because I can do it! I'm looking forward to working/learning abroad (which was a big incentive to study at this school in the first place).

So yeah I'm saying all that now, while I've done nothing for school all day and I have 2 big projects and various assignments lying around for the coming 2 weeks... ;) not to mention the tests... :P Buuuuuut we'll get there!

2007 everyone

2007-01-05T15:47:12Z

So Happy New Year everyone!!

I hope it's all gone well for everyone and we're all off to a good start! :)

I don't really have much to write, I just felt like I should cause it's a new year but pff I don't really feel like going all reflective on the past year :p

Always fun though are the end of the year horoscopes for the coming year! It looks promising enough lol.

Leo
You still have a serious and responsible attitude. This is good for your professional life, but less so for your personal life. Make sure you keep some humor in the mix to make it a useful year anyway.

Love
In relationships, there's money problems. Don't be embarrassed, but talk about it to prevent worse. If you're looking for love, you won't have time for that until September.

Work/study
Your incredible dedication and perseverance will be rewarded halfway 2007. Think of a promotion, or a kickass internship. If you can, try to not take holidays until after September.

Health
You will be having heart palpitations and joint problems this year. Nothing serious though, it's all got to do with the amount of stress you put yourself under. Make sure you get enough rest, physiotherapy and relaxation.

Gemini
You are very fickle and versatile, but in 2007 you will be forced to focus on one thing at a time. This is not easy for you, but it will bring some interesting results.

Love
For early Gemini's, a friendship could turn into something more. For the others, interesting meetings await! For those who already have a partner, you can count on quite some romance from September on.

Work/study
Instinctively, you want to quit everything at once, but circumstances won't allow you. And you're not used to that. Try to look at it as a further exploration of your talents. That is also important for you.

Health
Unfortunately, your hayfever will be acting up again or you keep having a cold. Make sure you're always carrying tissues, because in 2007 you can't do without!

Pisces
You're restless, and therefore not home a lot. You become addicted to gaming and you can count on a few surprising events. You won't be bored!

Love
Surprises here too. Single Pisces will suddenly encounter the love of their life, and Pisces in a relationship will suddenly end a relationship of many years.

Work/study
Keep in mind a reorganisation, suspension or a move. Uranus causes sudden changes. Don't panic, but follow your gut. In July there will be more clarity.

Health
The alternative circuit will be recommendable to you. The complaints you'll have can not really be solved by your GP. Follow your intuition in finding the right therapist and treatment.

Taurus
You don't like changes at all, but Uranus will be forcing you anyway. On the plus side, this will bring new people and situations. Don't resist, but enjoy what's to come.

Love
Your relationship's become a rut, and you want it completely different. Only the most flexible partners will stick it out with you until the end of the year. Single Tauruses will attract a different type of man or woman.

Work/study
In the summer of 2007 you will make a definitive choice about your work or study. You either stay, or end it.

Health
Thankfully you won't be having any serious health problems, but you should count on sudden infections or minor injuries. Not fun, but you'll be recovered in no time. Make sure you get enough exercise.

Libra
You feel a need to make a faraway trip. In the spring you'll make plans, or even leave. Contacts with other people are the main point of attention and you enjoy it immensely.

Love
Single Libra's can count on an intense meeting in November. If you're in a relationship, feelings will be running high at the start of 2007. You don't understand eachother.

Work/study
Until October you will be doubting whether or not your work or study suits you. You are not feeling very comfortable with that. In November you'll take a definite step.

Health
In 2007 you'll be more sensitive to medication than before. Always read the instructions carefully before taking something. Your eczema will also be acting up again.

Aquarius
This year you'll be most focused on yourself. You have some things to deal with and that needs to be done, too. Be careful for excessive alcohol or drug consumption to forget about real life. You will go on a holiday by yourself.

Love
This is the year of truth! Only the strong relationships will pull through. Single Aquarius prefer one-night stands. You're tired of things fast.

Work/study
If you have plans to start on your own, you'll realise them in 2007. You're more than tired of your old job. Make sure you'll get enough help and advice.

Health
Keep an eye on your blood pressure a bit because you often worry too much. Don't let yourself get sent away from the doctor's to easily; often he won't believe you rightaway.

I've got the rest too, if you like :)

J'y pense encore

2006-12-24T12:06:10Z

At the end of 2006,

How can young people my own age go out in the evenings waiting up gays at their meeting place to beat them up, thrash their cars, who knows what else? HERE? It's not without reason we're losing our image of "tolerant" country... That same country that hasn't had a proper government for yeaaars. And it's not looking any better. None of the parties seem to be able to work together. People either don't vote, or vote for whatever's more popular. Political parties are screwed up. You get a result that's impossible to work with. You can't form a coalition with the "leftest" on one side, and the "centre-right" on the other, and then try to find a third one! On top of that, the Dutch political scene is turning into a seriously bad soap drama. You wouldn't even believe. The past two years, the world must have had a good laugh at what's been going on here!

And how can a country forbid Eastern countries to build nuclear weapons, while they are chock full of 'em? They create their own threats!

Let us not even begin about the climate changing...
Random poll: how long would you give us?

The good news is that 3FM radio is having a huge fundraiser for the victims of landmines, which is going very well! You can request songs by donating money, send texts to the TV (there's a 24h live broadcast) for 90cts or just go over to the "Glass House" in which three DJs are fasting for 6 days raising money. Plus Dutch celebs and non-celebs are auctioning off stuff which is raising loads too.

It's not all misery, but you have to look for the good stuff more and more closer ;)

Ca y est, le grand incendie
Y’a l’feu partout, emergency
Babylone, Paris s’écroulent
New York City
Iroquois qui déboulent
Maintenant
Allez

London, Delhi, Dallas dans l’show
Hommage à l’art pompier
T’entends les sirènes, elles
Sortent la grande échelle
Vas-y
Go
