An ounce of peace is all I want for you

Roight. First off, I have the philosophy better late than never. So if you haven't go tell This Handsome Chap happy birthday.

In other news, I am doing my second day of work tomorrow. I am very much looking forward to it.

In music news, Aravis sent me the Artic Monkey's CD so I can finally give the whole thing a listen. Thank you! :) I'll be sure to report back what I hear. Also I've a new Emo song to love, and [judging by the colossal success of Fallout Boy] I thought I would share the lyrics with you, cause I like them so very much! Its by blue October, and its a fairly new song [music afficianados in the audience can tell how outdated I am now] and I am getting to where I like it a lot. It reminds me of how I used to be before I found Beloved and got all cleaned up.

So, Lyrics. Enjoy....

Hate Me

I have to block out thoughts of you so I don't lose my head
They crawl in like a cockroach leaving babies in my bed
Dropping little reels of tape to remind me that I'm alone
Playing movies in my head that make a porno feel like home
There's a burning in my pride, a nervous bleeding in my brain
An ounce of peace is all I want for you. Will you never call again?
And will you never say that you love me just to put it in my face?
And will you never try to reach me? It is I that wanted space

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you

I'm sober now for 3 whole months
it's one accomplishment that you helped me with
The one thing that always tore us apart is the one thing I won't touch again
In a sick way I want to thank you for holding my head up late at night
While I was busy waging wars on myself, you were trying to stop the fight
You never doubted my warped opinions on things like suicidal hate
You made me compliment myself when it was way too hard to take
So I'll drive so fucking far away that I never cross your mind
And do whatever it takes in your heart to leave me behind

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you
Hate me in ways
Yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you

And with a sad heart I say bye to you and wave
Kicking shadows on the street for every mistake that I had made
And like a baby boy I never was a man
Until I saw your blue eyes crying and I held your face in my hand
And then I fell down yelling "make it go away!"
Just make a smile come back and shine just like it used to be
And then she whispered "How can you do this to me?"

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you
Hate me in ways
Yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you

Oh, dear. I think you should listen to the Arctic Monkeys...it's happy!

I know, I know, EMO can be good, but that line about a mother cockroach crawling into bed to have babies is just nauseating.

Have a good 2nd day at work.

Oh, spinny. I am happy, I prmise. I just like this song. And the cockroach is gross, a little, but I've grown to look past the initial ick factor. even Ani has a line about cockroaches in "Fire Door" -

"I killed a cockroach so big it left a puddle of puss on my wall"

I'll duly write about something nice, though, I promise.

I'm thinkong about fruit, what do you reckon?

Oh, don't mind me...I'm just being silly.
