*Le Gasp*

AHH! it's a post free of lyrics and silly blog tests. NOOOO!!!! the world is coming to an end.
Yup it's ending i tell you.
Anyways enough of that weirdness. since my normal weirdness never seems to end. hmmm is that possible? Normal weirdness? oh well, that's too big a conundrum for my brain.
Besides there's so many other fun things to talke about .... like....um hmmm
oh yeah
The Niece still hasn't arrived yet. she's was anxious to get outta the gate a month ago, but now she seems to be all for the lazy life. Not even NL going bowling has helped. Well she's due Dec7th so i'm sure she'll arrive when she darn well pleases. I was predicting for Dec 1, but i guess i was wrong. i figured new moon, she already missed the full moon so *shrug* but there is some lee-way when you think about lunar cycles so whoo knows.
k i think i'm gonna nip this randomness in the bud before i go right off the wall.
later days ppl
25 sleeps till christmas AHH! i gotta go shop or something.

Hear Me Out
by Frou Frou
I join the queue on your answerphone
And all I am is holding breath
Just pick up I know you're there
Can't you hear I'm not myself

Oh go ahead and lie to me
You could say anything
Small talk will be just fine
Your voice is everything
We owe it to love
And it all depends on you

So listen up
This sun hasn't set
I refuse to believe that it's only me feeling
Just hear me out, I'm not over you yet
It's love on the line can you handle it

So how do I do normal
A smile I fake
The permanent wave of
Cue-cards and fix-it kits
Can't you tell I'm not myself

I'm a slow motion accident
Lost in coffee rings and fingerprints
I don't wanna feel anything
But I do
And it all comes back to you

So listen up
This sun hasn't set
I refuse to believe that it's only me feeling
Just hear me out, I'm not over you yet
It's love on the line can you handle it

So listen up
Look at me straight
Just hear me out
Don't make me wait
I'm not myself
I can't take this
Love's on the line
Is that your final answer

I join the queue on your answerphone
And all I am is holding breath
Just pick up I know you're there

So listen up
This sun hasn't set
I refuse to believe that it's only me feeling
Just hear me out, I'm not over you yet
It's love on the line can you handle it

So listen up
This sun hasn't set
I refuse to believe that it's only me feeling
Just hear me out, I'm not over you
It's love on the line can you handle it

So listen up
This sun hasn't set
I refuse to believe that it's only me feeling
Just hear me out, I'm not over you
It's love on the line can you handle it

fun and easy....giggle





You Are A Walnut Tree









You are strange and full of contrasts... the oddball of your group.

You are unrelenting and you have unlimited ambition.

Not always liked but always admired, you are more infamous than famous.

You are aggressive and spontaneous, and your reactions are often unexpected.

A jealous and passionate person, you are difficult in romantic relationships.




Giggle vv
You Are 50% Weird

Normal enough to know that you're weird...
But too damn weird to do anything about it!



Your Eyes Should Be Brown

Your eyes reflect: Depth and wisdom

What's hidden behind your eyes: A tender heart

Close enough for gov't work they're hazel
Your Hair Should Be Purple

Intense, thoughtful, and unconventional.
You're always philosophizing and inspiring others with your insights.


i'll stop.....
for now

Chemical Brothers Rock


Hold Tight London

So do, I warn you
I see things when I hold you
But I’ve whispered: "it’s alright"
It is you and me and a long night

You're a ghost in the doorway,
I can see through, but I hold tight,
I’ll just stay on holding until it hurts,
I just want you to know your lovely,


You're a ghost in the doorway,
I can see through, but I hold tight,
I’ll just stay on holding until it hurts,
I just want you to know your lovely,

Don’t worry, nothing can go wrong,
Don’t worry, nothing can go wrong,
Don’t worry, nothing can go wrong,
Don’t worry, nothing can go wrong,
(nothing!!)

i really love music. it plays through many of my many moods and lately my mood has been rather "playful" bad word really but it's the best there is i suppose.
This song although not really playful, still calls to me, although it always has. There's just something about the arrangement that i really do love.
And it really sorta plays to the current way my brain is wandering along so many strange paths of late.
It's really weird how things can present themselves to you when you least expect it. and on a whole when they can be decidedly inconventient.
But on a whole, there are many things that we humans have no control over no matter how we strive to change that. And for somethings distance is just a non-issue, where as logically it makes no sense.
And i know there is one who will understand ^ and think it's about them, but not to worry it isn't. And there is another who knows excactly what i'm talking about and she prolly thinks i'm completely mad for sticking it up here for all to see. But i gotta put it some where. and really that's what a blog is for. If it disturbs ppl then they shouldn't read it.
But if i don't fix it down somewhere i might go mad, or let said ^ weirdness explode from me, which would be dumb for all concerned.
there are times to be blunt, and times to sit and wait to see where the path goes. i think this is a sit and wait time. BUt the "playful" part of my current mood is trying to convince me otherwise. but i think (and there in lies the problem i suppose, that i think) that slow and steady, may potentially win this race. Or maybe it'll just let me evolve outta this strange mood and i can stop thinking about bizzar paths and wander the more normal paths again.
Although really when i say that i know it'll prolly fail. me normal if only, but that isn't me, and i don't mind really.
i have a feeling it'll be a daily battle, as all things of the soul are, and i'll just have to see where that will take me.
*fingers crossed* it's somewhere fun
later days

ps: logic is telling me "DO NOT POST ^" but every once in a while one must give in to play *giggle*

Kosheen

I so love this song, it's got a great beat and it makes me wanna dance around my room. unfortunatly everyone else is sleeping here so "there'll be none a that"
*Dances around room anyways*
WHEEEEEEEE!

Hungry

You're like a child with old eyes,
cynical and sensible, always full of surprises
you travel far and wide
looking for the feeling, lost inside you

They don't understand you, no
until it's too late
with everything they've handed you
on a silver plate

-CHORUS-
Are you hungry for a little more
than what you've had before?
Are you hungry for a taste of life?
whet your appetite, are you hungry?

Now give me this mountainside
cool waters to lie beside
give me these two strong eyes
to see the difference between truth and lies
Ah, give me this feeling when you kiss me baby
every day and every night
That's all I need, yes
Everything is gonna be all right

-CHORUS-

You're like a sight for sore eyes, lyrical and gentle
borderlining sentimental
You're like a dream realised
so why do I keep falling back to sleep,
I'm so serious and deep.

-CHORUS-

-CHORUS-

YAY finally found these lyrics


Hooverphonic vs Sneaker Pimps - 6 Underground (Shake the underground disease)
Take me down, 6 underground,
The ground beneath your feet,
Laid out low, nothing to go
Nowhere a way to meet
I've got a head full of drought,
Down here, so faroff losing out
Round here,

Overground, watch this space,
I'm open to falling from grace

Calm me down, bring it round
Too way high off your street
I can see like nothing else
In me you're better than I wannabe
Don't think 'cos I understand,
I care, don't think 'cos I'm talking we're friends,

Overground, watch this space,
I'm open to falling from grace

Talk me down, safe and sound
Too strung up to sleep
Wear me out, scream and shout
Swear my time's never cheap
I fake my life like I've lived
Too much, I take whatever you're given
Not enough,

Overground, watch this space,
I'm open

I fake my life like I've lived
Too much, I take whatever you're given
Not enough,

Overground, watch this space,
I'm open to falling from grace



i love this song, it's so great. so smooth and fun, easy going just sorta wanders along in a fun way.

WOOT! more music

apparently my music mood isn't over. i still wanna play :D

(Benassi Bros. feat. Sandy)
ILLUSION
I wanna be your illusion
Be your illusion
To make you happy tonight
Enjoy this trip with me
I wanna be your emotion, be your emotion
Why don't you turn off the lights?
Imagine how we could be living….

Sometimes i wonder why
We have no limits
Everything we do is try
To find out who we are.
We won't stop playing
That special game of love
And when we get together
The time is running
I'll be a dream that you'll remember
Over and over
If only you try me, if only you touch me

I wanna be your illusion
Be your illusion
To make you happy tonight
Enjoy this trip with me
I wanna be your emotion, be your emotion
Why don't you turn off the lights?
Imagine how we could be living….

Through the darkness of the town
Looking for a lover
I'm praying you to stay,
To keep the promise you made
Can't you see it baby?
It's a part of the game.
And everytime that you say no
You got me going crazy,
I'm going out my mind
I'll do what you want me to
I'm a victim baby.
Just push me through

I wanna be your illusion
Be your illusion
To make you happy tonight
Enjoy this trip with me
I wanna be your emotion
Be your emotion,
Why don't you turn off the lights?
Imagine how we could be living…

I wanna be your illusion i
Wanna do what makes you feel all right
It's a matter of time now babe,
It's a matter of fact now babe
I'm gonna make you feel good.

another great song
ELECTRO SHOCK FADERS
by HOOVERPHONIC

Long black dress
Hawaian shirt
Kicking pair of trainers
Electro shock faders

Guiding your voice through your veins
Sick of all this working
Longing for a sinking

Long black dress
Hawaian shirt
Kicking pair of trainers
Electro shock faders

Guiding your voice through your veins
Sick of all this working
Longing for a sinking

Ship that rules the bottom of the sea
A bottle as a prison not really my idea
Of a perfect environment it makes you see
Everything’s a blur
Do you know what I mean

Long black dress
Hawaian shirt
Kicking pair of trainers
Electro shock faders

Guiding your voice through your veins
Sick of all this working
Longing for a sinking
Ship that rules the bottom of the sea
A bottle as a prison not really my idea
Of a perfect environment it makes you see
Everything’s a blur
Do you know what I mean

it's a sorta strange but w/ music it's such a cool song. sorta rolls along, almost like a tide or something

Must be dreaming - Frou Frou

Apparently i'm wandering a musical day or something, the next so in the playlist:

Must Be Dreaming

Pay close attention
Don't listen to me from now
George'll be flying this one
And it's anyone's guess how he does
This is the right turn wrong
Universe taking me in full bloom
Fireball careful with that there
See what you made me do

I must be dreaming or
We're onto something
I must be dreaming
For I don't fall in love lawlessly
I must be dreaming or
Pinch me to waking
So undeniably yours
As long as I'm losing it so completely

Incendiary glance
Be come and collide in me
Zoom in enhance hold
While I go helplessly sky high
Magic eye sugar rushing don't stop

I must be dreaming or
We're onto something
Hey just watcha make me for
I don't fall in love lawlessly
I must be dreaming or
Pinch me to waking
So undeniably yours
As long as i'm losing it so completely

Euphoria
I can't take any more of yah
Euphoria
I can't take any more of yah
I'm losing it

I must be dreaming or
We're onto something
Hey just watcha make me for
I don't fall in love lawlessly
I must be dreaming or
Pinch me to waking
So undeniably yours
As long as I'm losing it
I'm losing it
I'm losing it
I must be dreaming
I must be dreaming
I must be dreaming



i really love this song, i have no clue what it has to do with current mood but i'm floating along so must be something good.
:D
i may be back with more music who knows.

Free me - Foo Fighters

Free me right now
You take me away, take it from me
Free me right now
You take me away, take it from me, yeah!

Beautiful prisoner, let it be dead
Promises made it certain to end
Voices and visions are locked in my head
I could sing for sorrow
All of the words that we damn never speak
All of our ghosts and secrets do keep
Gather them all we'll bury them deep
I could sing for sorrow

Free me right now
You take me away, take it from me
Free me right now
You take me away, take it from me, hey!

One for forever
One in your name
Once in your member
We're one in the same
One to forget but it always remains
I could sing for sorrow

Free me right now
You take me away, take it from me
Free me right now
You take me away, take it from me
Could you free what's keepin' you?
Well I need somebody too

Free me! Free me!
Free me! Free me!
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh

Free me right now
You take me away, take it from me
Free me right now
You take me away, take it from me
Could you free what's keepin' you?
Well I need somebody too

Free me! Free me!
Free me! Free me!
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, yeah!


Weird how Landslide - the dixi chicks always pops up in my weird playlists. i really love this song, it just says something. anyways lyrics posted around here somewhere so i'll save u from having to scroll through more, and let u hunt for them yourself if u like ;)

Inside - bang gang


Inside

How can someone feel like we did out there
Have you lost the dream that was in our hands
Is it okey now

How can someone feel like we did out there
Have you lost the dream that was in our hands
Is it okey now

Find me
Inside every heartbeat
Inside every worry
Keep me in your heart again

Find me
Inside every heartbeat (over the hills again)
Inside every worry
Inside your heart

How can someone feel like we did out there
Have you lost the dream that was in our hands
Is it okey now

Find me
Inside every heartbeat
Inside every worry
Keep me in your heart again

Find me
Inside every heartbeat (over the hills again)
Inside every worry
Inside your heart

You ran away
And i could not stay
Is it your time
Or is it mine
Is it our time

Find me
Inside every heartbeat
Inside every worry
Keep me in your heart again

Find me
Inside every heartbeat (over the hills again)
Inside every worry
Inside your heart


I love this song, and well the group, and i've prolly posted it here before. but oh well. there's just something about this song at current. prolly that it just popped up in my mega playlist ;)

back from glasgow

Well as u can see ^ i'm back from glasgow.
Grad was a riot. Got to see the whole gang what a blast. it was so strange we met up on Sunday night, sat for about an hr and chatted about what we'd been up to and then it was like *clicK* so what's on now? we going out? and wehre to? *bling* we just fell into place as though there wasn't a 4 month break in between when we'd seen one another. it's so strange and cool.
and i got to bum around a bit, see a few places i hadn't yet, and just sorta wander. it was great
picked up some gifts for the family and friends. always fun. If u ever get to glasgow u have to go to 23 Enigma, it's a great little Magicky stuff store, w/ inscence and tarot card readings and gazillions of jewelery. it's sooo cool, and the best part is the woman who runs it it's super friendly and they have some really beautiful jewelery which is really inexpensive. they have a web site (although i have yet to visit it) http://www.23enigma.com
so go visit them if u r in the country. the tarot card reader is GREAT!!! and a really nice person too ;)
so that's prolly enough gushing
other then that, it was a blast, i have grad pics well a few anyways. so i'll be email them out or posting them or something. i really gotta download pixema or whatever that program is.
anwyas gotta boot other blogs to update =P

do you ever wonder..

how no matter what you do, some things always seem catch back up with you. or maybe it's more, that u may think you've changed but when you really look at yourself you aren't entirely certain if you have.
i dunno, maybe i'm babbling again, and that wouldn't at all surprise me. but although i know i've changed, everything around me still seems the same. as though the world froze as i wandered along. but what's weird is that this freezing didn't seem to e/affect (whichever) everyone. i know of one who's trundled this path with me, and we seem to see things the same, or at least we can depend on each other for a swift "wap up side the head" when we seem to sit on the ground again.
maybe it's sorta like the frost giants, they've whispered everyone else into sleep, convincing them that in rest they will find warmth, when all it leads to is being frozen.
yep i'm definatly babbling
i think i should go to bed, or at least stop reading fantasy novels about vikings and frost giants. :D

blah blah blah blah

so i was gonna post some lyrics, but i was too lazy to go hunting for the weeping tile song i'd heard but couldn't remember the title of. oddly enough i did learn that Sarah Harmer used to be the lead singer for weeping tile. too funky. anyways.
Victoria is nice, i'm still jobless, and i have yet to buy my ticket back for grad or book a room in the hostel. i really gotta do that tonight or i'll never get anywhere.
anyways.

Baxter Rocks!

Love again

I heard a rumor from a friend
And another one said
It was impossible to push your feelings away

I heard it took a lifetime
For someone to forget a love
But she did yes she did forget it
At last

I need a friend
I need you
I need a friend
I need you

I need a friend to take me home again
I need you to make it true

They said it could be better
If I let my love be a part of me
To let in, to be brave without games
Or lies

But what if everything that I give to you
Make you scared, make you leave will I ever dare to
Love again

I need a friend
I need you
I need a friend
I need you

I need a friend to take me home again
I need you to make it true

I need a friend
I need you
I need a friend
I need you
I need a friend
I need you


So i'm in a listening to music mood and well posting what i'm listening to. call me strange but it makes me feel better.

here's another edit
Foo Fighters Rock
Best Of You


I've got another confession to make
I'm your fool
Everyone's got their chains to break
Holdin' you

Were you born to resist or be abused?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?

Are you gone and onto someone new?
I needed somewhere to hang my head
Without your noose
You gave me something that I didn't have
But had no use
I was too weak to give in
Too strong to lose
My heart is under arrest again
But I break loose
My head is giving me life or death
But I can't choose
I swear I'll never give in
I refuse

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
You trust, you must
Confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Oh...

Oh...Oh...Oh...Oh...

Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
The life, the love
You die to heal
The hope that starts
The broken hearts
You trust, you must
Confess

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?

I've got another confession my friend
I'm no fool
I'm getting tired of starting again
Somewhere new

Were you born to resist or be abused?
I swear I'll never give in
I refuse

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
Its real, the pain you feel
You trust, you must
Confess
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Oh...


i'm not sure if it's worth reading anything into these or if it's just that my play list is following some theme for some unknown reason. there are something like 300 songs in it and not all of them are this depressing but these are the ones that are popping up.
patterns always the weirdest patterns.

back to Canada

Well it appears i'm heading back to canada. prolly sooner rather then later but who knows. i'm hoping to be able to stay for grad, but that depends on money. blargh! money sucks.
So i'm hunting for flights home, not going super well. Air Transat doesn't fly after like the 12th or something of october. but i could be remembering that wrong. i know they don't fly btwn october and may to here. so GRRRR! to them.
Fly zoom still functions thankfully, but only on certain days. whc/ sucks as well. but if i try a regular airline the cost in like 5x as much. GAHHH!!
i thought airlines were there to serve ppl not the other way around.
And hell if the stupid funding thing had been resolved earlier then maybe i coulda gone to canada and then just come back for grad. that woulda prolly been cheaper then waiting around here.
or i coulda traveled a bit. taken a break from stuff. but no.
anyways. as u can prolly tell i'm a little miffed.
so here's some music so u don't have to read me whingeing <--- brit word similer to whining
Hear Me Out by Frou Frou

I join the queue on your answerphone
And all I am is holding breath
Just pick up I know you're there
Can't you hear I'm not myself

Oh go ahead and lie to me
You could say anything
Small talk will be just fine
Your voice is everything
We owe it to love
And it all depends on you

So listen up
This sun hasn't set
I refuse to believe that it's only me feeling
Just hear me out, I'm not over you yet
It's love on the line can you handle it

So how do I do normal
A smile I fake
The permanent wave of
Cue-cards and fix-it kits
Can't you tell I'm not myself

I'm a slow motion accident
Lost in coffee rings and fingerprints
I don't wanna feel anything
But I do
And it all comes back to you

So listen up
This sun hasn't set
I refuse to believe that it's only me feeling
Just hear me out, I'm not over you yet
It's love on the line can you handle it

So listen up
Look at me straight
Just hear me out
Don't make me wait
I'm not myself
I can't take this
Love's on the line
Is that your final answer

I join the queue on your answerphone
And all I am is holding breath
Just pick up I know you're there

So listen up
This sun hasn't set
I refuse to believe that it's only me feeling
Just hear me out, I'm not over you yet
It's love on the line can you handle it

So listen up
This sun hasn't set
I refuse to believe that it's only me feeling
Just hear me out, I'm not over you
It's love on the line can you handle it

So listen up
This sun hasn't set
I refuse to believe that it's only me feeling
Just hear me out, I'm not over you
It's love on the line can you handle it


it was the first song up in the list, anyways good song gotta love frou frou
hmm who else

James Blunt one very nice looking boy who happens to sing quite well too
Out Of My Mind"

Judging by the look on the organ-grinder,
He'll judge me by the fact that my face don't fit.
It's touching that the monkey sits on my shoulder.
He's waiting for the day when he gets me,
But I don't need no alibi - I'm a puppet on a string.
I just need this stage to be seen.
We all need a pantomime to remind us what is real.
Hold my eye and know what it means.

I'm out of my mind.

Judging by the look on the organ-grinder,
He'll judge me by the fact that my face don't fit.
It's touching that the monkey sits on my shoulder.
He's waiting for the day when he gets me,
But I won't be your concubine - I'm a puppet not a whore.
I just need this stage to be seen.
Will you be a friend of mine to remind me what is real?
Hold my heart and see that it bleeds.

I'm out of my mind.


Television by Baxter

I wish I had
Seen you in front of your T.V set
I wish I'd seen you
When you blew up
What seemed to be the whole world to you
I wish I woke up
When you were sad
I wish I had
Seen you in front of your T.V set

All alone in your room
You blew up your television
The whole world to you
And less of you is left

On your own in your room
You blew up your television
The whole world to you
And less of you is left

I wish I had
Seen you in front of your T.V set
I wish I'd seen you
When you blew up
What seemed to be the whole world to you

All alone in your room
You blew up your television
The whole world to you
And less of you is left

On your own in your room
You blew up your television
The whole world to you
And less of you is left

I wish I could take you outside and
I wish I saw the rest of you here

I wish I could take you outside and
I wish I saw the rest of you here

On your own in your room
You blew up your television
The whole world to you
And less of you is left

I wish I could take you outside and
I wish I saw the rest of you here ....


So that's it for me and music, otherwise i'll just start listing my playlist.

<.< >.< >.>

EDIT: well i've changed it back so anyone can post but now they have to fill in a confirmation word. So FAMILY (hint hint, nudge nudge that means U) can post but advertisers can't. WOOHOO! i'd better see some family posting now that i've gone to all that trouble
i couldn't think of a title so i didn't bother well other then the cheezey emoticon bases.
so what's new and exciting. pretty much nothing. although my new roomie at the eurohostel is quite nice, she's from Denmark. Man i've met a wide variety of ppl living there.
the other night was a lady who works for the UN and b/c her flight was so early in the morning it was cheaper just to stay at the hostel then bother with a hotel. i was drawing on my comp and she saw some of my dragons and such and thought i should contact some card company and get them published, or submit them to the UN card making ppl for them to publish to get my name out there in the art world. gotta say i was shocked to hear that., my stuff is ok, but not what i'd consider publishing stuff. but apparently the fanciful stuff is what they like and the stuff i do'd make great kids cards. too strange. i'll have to look into that when i have more time.
hmm other then that i'm hunting for a job still, i've put one of my bags in jenni's storage closet and i'm heading to aberdeen on friday. hopefully i'll hear back from hostel booking soon.
anyways not much else on. still job hunting/phd funding hunting.

..like a rolling stone...

Well i'm gonna be traveling again soon. well a week from today i'm gonna head to Aberdeen, Scotland. Not sure how long i'll stay, prolly a week maybe more. so for those of u that have me on msn i may not be on as often as normal. oh well. i'll take lots of pictures and post them somewhere.
i should still have acess to email, hopefully. and i'll try and finish the pic i'm working on before then.
hopefully i'll have access to the library after today, and if not then i'll be on in the evenings via the common room at the uni, probably.
anyways. gotta boot lots of things to do yet today.,

hmmmm

So i haven't updated in a while, and i know there are those that read this even if they don't post comments :'(
*giggle*
so news from Sotty-land
well i'm still in the hostel, the hunt is on for funding (WOOT!) and i'm applying for jobs. YAY!
hmm other then that i'm going to an early grad party being thrown by Z b/c she won't be back for grad. so her parental units gave her some money for a party that should be a fun saturday night.

OHH there is some news, went shopping today with L. sure i really shouldn't be shopping but well, i've been looking for a new pair of trousers for a while (ACK! gods i can't believe i used trousers instead of pants, i've lived in the UK too long now lol). N-E ways. they're long enough actually i may roll them up one, which is cool, and they fit perfectly, they're grey, stylish cotton, and have sorta funky cargo look. quite nice. and i got a nice orange shirt to go with. it's one of those funky 3/4 sleeves ones and it has the wee bit of white at the bottom and in the v of the neck to make it look like u r wearing 2 shirts when u aren't
i love those.
anyways. that's it from this neck of the woods.
later days ppl
[RANT]
PS well if u can see that there are 2 deleted comments, it's not because they were rude or anything, part of each of them was quite nice, however the other part was an advertisement. i have no problem on a whole with ppl advertising stuff, but i do have a problem with ppl using my Blog as a place to push their stuff. it's annoying and on a whole not really very respectful. so now i have to change my settings to prevent anonymous posters. BLARGH! so all u family that don't do blogger can't comment anymore without setting up an account. but then again u didn't really comment before so on a whole i figure it's a fair trade. [/RANT]

woot

slightlylonger post.
yesterday was insane. it took me about 30min to get my stuff down the stairs and out the front door to the metro (honsetly normally a 5min walk maybe) and then to the trainstation only to stand by my junk for 30min. then on funky littl train for about 1 and a 1/2 hrs to get to carlile. then to stand again for 40min and wait for next train. luckily i was in the last car, so there was a funky serviece ppl only area where on of the porter dudes from Virgin trains let me stow my large quantity of junk. and then another such dude let me out of there again. so much easier then lugging it through the train. then took a cab WOOT cost me all of 1.80 to the hostel and booked in.
u know it's so weird the things u miss when u r new to a city. for example i only knoticed the one resturant near the hostel the last time. the lemon tree chinese place. but there's actually a weatherspoons not far away. quite littereally spitting distance from the lemon tree and therefore the hostel. WOOT! spoons a great place for good cheap food and of course good cheap beer. so i had a nice roast chicken dinner (and wow talk about loads of white chicken a full HUGE center breast) i couldn't eat it all, and there were veggies and yorkshire puddings too. and then desert. where in i wish there were 5 other ppl with me b/c honestly u coulda fed an army with the treacle sponge pudding w/ custard that i got. for those of u that'd have seen them think full Heinze pudding only homemade. completely insane i think i might have eaten 1/3 of it maybe. oh well it was yummy.
anyways then it was attempt to sleep time. i always have a horrible time sleeping in a new place. GAH! and all the uncertainty doesn't help either. oh well. dems da breaks. it'll eventually get sorted i hope.
anyways gotta bust. oh and i found out Lela is back in glasgow too. so woot i have someone to hang w/ and gossip w/ again hehehehe *insert evil smiley here* bunnies beware.

Someone (u know who u R bunny :P) has twisted my rubber arm and insisted that i post, at least once a week. I'll try my best, but well who knows how long it will last *giggle*

So now for the news bulletins:

Thesis has been completed on time and sent in to arrive on due date ((WHOOHOOO!!!))

I have one week to see the sights i've missed so far and pack my junk + buy a train ticket to Glasgow and move ((AHHHHH!!! anyone wanna fly over and help me w/ this one?? :D))

the posting must go on..

So here i am being told by my mom that i need to post more. or more that she thought it was about time for me to post again. so here it is mom another post :D
but hey i'm just being a pain. it does have an actual purpose. Classic shameless self promotion. (not that anyone other then my mom apparently read this but who cares).
on to the promotion.
So i'm writing my thesis, and you all roll your eyes "so what" well that tends to lead to stress and of course sleepless nighs when the brain just won't shut off. But i've found a way to get the brain to wander other courses, much easier to translate into dreams then "fibres under fingernails", and that's art. Not that i'm really an artist, i just happen to draw to let my mind unwind and then colour it using Photoshop 5.5 and post said drawings on the web.
So here comes the shameless self promotion...........wait for it....... ;)

Yup i have a Deviant Art site. A fabulous community of artist, and honestly there are ALOT of wonderful artist that do post real art here. Luckily they don't limit their membership to "real" artists, so i'm good to go.
and now you too can go and take a looksee if you like at the stuff i call my art

CLICK THIS LINKY

and if you don't consider that stuff art well then you can go wander the rest of the site as well :D
anyways

whatever can go wrong will do

It seems to be one of those weeks. I get back from NI thinking hmm, i got lots of work done i should be able to get this thesis done in the next 4wks, sure i have an extra experiment to do but the data base will be sorted so that's one less thing to worry about. right? WRONG!
Don't you just hate it when you are the student working for free in a business, essentially making their science better and sure it's not like i'd expect everything to go perfectly to plan. But i do expect a professional who tells me that they'll sort out the stupid fibres database while i'm away to do as they promised. i'm mean sure they have work to do, but i also gave them 3 FREAKING WEEKS!!!! i honestly think they stuck it on the backburner thinking it wouldn't be such a big thing to create a query to pull all the info i needed from the database. But if it was "No big thing" why the hell would i have asked?
So i get back and they're like welll... i haven't really had time to look at it yet, and i won't get to it this week either and i'm going on vacation next week i'll see what i can do when i get back.
FUZZY BUCKETS!!
So that would put me w/ a cool week to figure out my results and write my results and discussion up. Classic Thanks but no thanks!
Honestly, if they weren't gonna do it, or didn't think they'd get a chance they shoulda said from the get go and i coulda figured out what all the stupid ID numbers were and extracted the data into Excel long ago. And therefore not have to spend my weekend of touring sitting at home trying to consolidate the most illogically set up database in the world. Essentially the FREAK who designed the database had no sweet clue. Nothing is connected properly and none of the different sections talk to one another, so u can put the info in but it's like pulling hens teeth to get it back out in a sensible fashion again. And sure this isn't the person who said they'd sort this messes fault, but their lack of effort until 12h30 this afternoon when they pitched in a whopping 35min only to say, this database is crap u'll have to start over, was not what i would call helpfull.

And sure they're all appologietic but well that doesn't mean i can't rant about it anyways.

Oh and to top of the cake w/ a cherry, it appears that something i'm allergic to is pollinating so my nose is stuffed up, and running at the same time, i'm sneezing to beat the band (nearly took my eye out on the microscope this morning) and my throat is sore. Here's hoping that the bailey's and the hot chocolate and the icecream will have done something for that.

anyways i've ranted enough on 2 different accounts

strange how lyrics can say so much

anyways on occasion it's not the whole song but just a section from one
If this is the life
Why does it feel so good to die today?
Blue to gray
Grow up and blow away...

from the song Grow up and Blow away by Metric
and here's a full one that says alot too
Roads by Portishead
Oh, can't anybody see,
We've got a war to fight,
Never found our way,
Regardless of what they say.

How can it feel, this wrong,
From this moment,
How can it feel, this wrong.

Storm,
In the morning light,
I feel,
No more can I say,
Frozen to myself.

I got nobody on my side,
And surely that ain't right,
Surely that ain't right.

Oh, can't anybody see,
We've got a war to fight,
Never found our way,
Regardless of what they say.

How can it feel, this wrong,
From this moment,
How can it feel, this wrong.

How can it feel this wrong,
From this moment,
How can it feel, this wrong.

Oh, can't anybody see,
We've got a war to fight,
Never found our way,
Regardless of what they say.

How can it feel, this wrong,
From this moment,
How can it feel, this wrong.


so i'm in a strange mood today. hell i'm in a strange mood everyday i just happened to have posted that mood for once.

lyrics

Band: Mazzy Star
Song: Into Dust


Still falling
Breathless and on again
Inside today
Beside me today
A round broken in two
'til your eyes shed into dust
Like two strangers turning into dust
'til my hand shook the way i fear

I could possibly be fading
Or have something more to gain
I could feel myself growing colder
I could feel myself under your fate
Under...your fate

It was you
breathless and tall
I could feel my eyes turning into dust
And two strangers turning into dust
Turning into dust.

to u all who still read this

I'm back from Northern Ireland. Gotta say i highly reccomend visiting there. what a riot, and i was only there for MSc stuff, but still it was fun.
And if you do go i reccomend staying at a B&B called Parklands located in Carrickfergus, the people who run it are really friendly and the food is great. Proper Ulster breaky every morning.
anyways, i saw the Giants Causeway, and Duluce castle and got to do work at some really cool microscopes and take lots of pretty pictures (yes i'm strange). The people in the lab were really friendly it was a riot on a whole
anyways i'll post more later

Sunday, July 10, 2005

well

it's like about 1/2 way through the summer, in a week i'm gonna be in Northern Ireland for 2 wks and then it's back for analysis and writing GAH!
here's hoping all the samples will be back on monday. but i have a sinking suspision that that aint gonna happen.
hmm today has been super hot, i wnet for a wander but nothing too much. then i came back and continued my pretty much full body (minus feet - ran outta room) sketch of Fearn. and i'm sure there are a few of you wondering (well if anyone bothers to read this) who the hell is Fearn. Well Fearn will be my RPG (for all of you non geeks that Role Player Game) character. she's part of a native group, and therefore doesn't have many technological stuff. but she's got magic so that's much more fun. currently i've managed to sketch out what i consider a really good bottom 1/2 but i hate the top 1/2 :P i've figured out a really cool bottom to her "dress/trousers" combo, but the top still eludes me GRR! and then there's her arm (the one that is visible and the (i think) staff that she'll carry. gah. but no clue on how exactly to put that stuff. oh well i'll continue over sketching and see what happens.

Sad days

well as the title implies this has been a sad series of days. First my (family) dog MacLaren dies of a heart attack on saturday night. He was old (around 10) so for a big dog he had a great long life. But still rather a shock.
And then to make matters even sadder Indy my (family) cat started acting really strange the other day so my sister CJ (whom she lives with) took her to the Vet. Apparently she's the healthiest looking cat suffering from 4th degree renal failure. So Indy is off to the vet tonight to be put down. At 12 yrs of age she lived a fruitful if not slightly over weight life.
And it's totally better that she got to spend her last day scarfing down loads of tuna and yogurt (her two favourite foods).
So now Indy is up there bossing Mac around just like she used to when we all lived in NB.
So, so long to my puppy and kitten, i'm sure they're happy up there watching the rest of us.

GAH! Moving Day!

Well, the next time i post here it'll be from Newcastle upon Tyne. So no more messages from Scotland, well until september. I'll have to edit the title to be Messages from Scotland (in Newcastle) or something ;)
So i'm up, it's the ungodly hr of 8-ish, i have to pack up my bed stuff, shower and generaly last min stuffing of stuff before 11:30 when Lela comes. Then we're walking to the train station and getting lunch on the way. i think the train will take 2 hrs, hopefully everything will go as planned. Keep your fingerst crossed. My room now looks empty. it's so crazy. just some basic pitching of beer bottles left now. sorta wish i could keep the 1.5L Grolsh bottle but maybe i'll just bring one back to Canada with me when i go.
Well i must finish breaky and get packing again.
See u on the flipside =D

I'm MOVING!!!

hey all,
yup i'm moving from Glasgow, to Newcastle. Can't wait, and now that i have a place to stay i have much more incentive to pack etc and get ready. so I did a super clear out of junk today. that was fun. i'm sure there'll be another one later tonight after movie. myself and a few ppl are going to see the Jacket. Can't wait. it looks good, here's hoping.
well i'm off to shower, hair looks sorta similar to wolverine's today. =P so i need to do something about that before i go out.
I hope u all are well

HEY EVERY1!

just wanted to let u all know, well u all who have my msn address that i'll be offline. i'm not avoiding u all, i just upgraded and the damn thing didn't utilize my old settings so it may take me a while for it to get up a running again. stupid program.

another one

meet nim's friend mac...
my pet!

hi all

i have a week off, and have so far managed to catch up on all the sleep i lost last week. for whatever reason i wasn't sleeping well. don't seem to be suffering from that anymore. prolly just some cylical hormonal junk that u all don't want to hear about.
other then that things are going pretty good. it's a little crazy, was planning on going to Loch Ness this week then i calculated the cost, and vitoed the idea. instead i'm going to wander close to home and save the cost of staying overnight somewhere. :D so i'm hoping to go to sterling tomorrow. may not be super nice out, but another advantage to not going to loch ness is that scotland this week, w/ the exception of Aberdeen seems to be suffering from Rain :P so if sterling has showers it won't kill me but had i spent all that money to stay inside, i think i would have shot someone, barring i could have found a gun ;) lol
oh well. crisis averted so, i'll be doing some local travel and studying my ass off as incentive to get to travel. DON'T STUDY = NO TRAVEL! so far it has worked. btw this is a energy replenishment break (ie i needed to eat). so i'm off to the DNA torture again =P (eh it's actually pretty geeky and interesting, i just like to complain) hehehehe
so seeu on the flip side ever1

Another great song...

Another great song, possibly even my theme song.

Avril Lavigne - Anything But Ordinary

Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out
I laugh myself to sleep
It's my lullaby
Sometimes I drive so fast
Just to feel the danger
I wanna scream
It makes me feel alive

Is it enough to love?
Is it enough to breath?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please

To walk within the lines
Would make my life so boring
I want to know that I
Have been to the extreme
So knock me off my feet
Come on now give it to me
Anything to make me feel alive

Is it enough to love?
Is it enough to breath?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please
I'd rahter be anything but ordinary please.

Let down your defences
Use no common sense
If you look you will see
that this world is this beautiful
accident turbulent suculent
I'm feeling permanent
No way I won't taste it
Dont wanna waste it away

Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out
I laugh my self to sleep
It's my lullaby

Is it enough?
Is it enough?
Is it enough to love?
Is it enough to breath?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please

Is it enough?
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please
I'd rather be anything but ordinary please.

Songs....

Gods I love this song, especially the acustic version by Eva Cassidy. Either way, here it is, a great song...
Eva Cassidy- Time After Time (origional by Cyndi Lauper)

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick,
and think of you
turning in circles confusion--
is nothing new
Flashback--warm nights--
almost left behind
suitcases of memories,
time after--

sometimes you picture me--
I'm walking too far ahead
you're calling to me, I can't hear
what you've said--
and you say--go slow--
I fallen behind--
the second hand unwinds

chorus:
if you're lost you can look--and you will find me
time after time
if you fall I will catch you--I'll be waiting
time after time
if you fall I will catch you--I'll be waiting
time after time
time after time

after your picture fades and darkness has
turned to gray
watching through windows--I'm wondering
if you're OK
And you say go slow I've fallen behind
the drum beats out of time

chorus:
if you're lost...

chorus:
...time after time
time after time
time after time
time after time

hehehe...

U know i always look for updates on other ppls blogs and then usually complain to someone (if it's only my elephant TolRil). But tonight i remembered that i have NO CLUE when i last updated my blog, and was like OOPS!! so i'll try to be better about it in the future. and i know, anyone who reads this and knows me at all is already rolling their eyes. hehehe
but here's the update anyways.
So today was a blast, went shopping with Erin. What fun, went to a bunch of stores but only bought stuff at 2. the first place we bought stuff at was Dorothy Perkins. what a great store. Nice clothes but not super expensive. got some really nice dress shirts (Stuff for court and for work term). And i know u r all thinking :O she actually bought a shirt that doesn't have some COW'S logo on it? NO WAY! well i'll get pics up as soon as i can. i also got a really nice jean jacket. what fun. the second store i bought someone's bday present in (hint hint nudge nudge) [sis] Erin approved, and it's very pretty as well as unique. I'm sure if u r reading this the curiosity will drive u nuts until u get it in the mail ;)
hehehe
So then there's this weekend past. now that was fun. myself and Jenny wandered over to the beer cafe, intending to have only a few pints. she was 1/2 way to a t-shirt and well by the end of the night she had one. well other then that the order of t-shirts hasn't arrive yet and we have to go back next week in order to pick it up. oh well it's as good an excuse as any to go back.
then sunday, jenny, erin and i decided to go for brunch which turned into supper by the time we got our butts in gear. so jenny and i headed over to the B. C. b/c they have good nachos at around 6. unfortunatly they stopped serving food at 5. so we got a beer and waited for erin to arrive [she had been sidtracked by the dynamic duo]. So while we're waiting for E, Tony [for an explination read some lower entries] comes over with a beer b/c he was then off work, so we were chatting when E arrived and the 4 of us went out for supper. Which was a blast. if u want the dets better to email and ask b/c this is turning into quite the wander. so long story short we had a grand supper and convo and parted ways at 22h30.
too fun well that's it for me i'll try and update more often

Hi All...

haven't posted in a while. but then again there wasn't much on the go. So far it's been a weird weekend. Mostly good but still weird. Got to see Michelle and Al Saturday which was fun, a bizzar yet interesting night, with lots of exchange in news/gossip etc. all in good fun of course.
As for the rest of the weekend, it sorta decended back into work and other stuff. which leads me to this next statement, so u'll have to excuse the sentimental sappy stuff for a sec, but it needs to be said.
ALL U FRIENDS/FAMILY OF MINE: NEAR AND FAR, OLD AND NEW, WELL AND LESS WELL KNOWN, ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO ME! NO MATTER WHAT!
well that felt good. no matter if the grammer is wrong, which i'm sure it is. I'm quite litteral in that it refers to all of u. i know there are 2 of u who will completely understand where this is coming from, and it especially applies to u both. the rest of u will just have to be in the dark on this one (sorry) but that's the way it has to be. but that doesn't mean it applies any less to u.
well i must go and do some work =P work. oh well

:D

hi all, not much new here. Boy now has my number, i asked him for coffee we'll see what happens.
hmm, watched the first 1/2 of the super bowl what a riot that was, but finally had to walk home from pub or i would never have gotten any work done the next day. not that i did get any work done monday anyways. but at least i tried. :D
so this week so far has been uneventful. the Linacre assignment that we have to hear his lectures in order to be able to figure out actually wasn't super hard. did that yesterday took like 2 hrs. now all i gotta do is the stats and the court report. :P Linacre treats us all like we just fell off the turnip truck *GRRR!*
oh well. c'est la vie. that's pretty much all that's exciting for me.

hey all

another week over. YEAH! makes life all the more fun. well the 1.5L Grolsch drinking contest has been put off for a bit, but i'm sure it will crop up again. possibly tomorrow night. not super sure though. as for this week, the second run of PP16 worked swimingly for most. i was one of the ppl who got a profile. not perfect only 14 of the 16 Loci showed up. but :^) whatever.
we got even more paper work on the Linacre assignment. it's going to be fun, especially since we won't even learn about what we should be doing with 1/2 of the info until the last 3 lectures. GRRRR! u'd think they'd plan things a bit better. but well, c'est la vie.
so i guess i'll just have to start the paper on either non-STR dna profiling techniques or the funky machines that run the non-STR techniques this weekend and just get all the data for the other one into my comp and all set up so that it's ready to go when i can finally understand all the crap that linacre has put into his assignment.
but what can one do??? well i can rant on my blog for 1 :D
hey ranting is fun, especially when it prevents u from saying anything stupid to the offending prof. :D
and he most certainly is offending. some days he'll be nice and treat us like real humans who have a higher education and the next he'll be treating us like we R idiots. honestly he doesn't have any more degrees then i do, sure 1's a PhD.. but it's not even in forensic science 8- so it's just super anyoying when he treats us like idiots. for example he took me apart for the way i write the date, he couldn't figure it out. Honestly when u see 050204, it's just the mirror image of 040205 (the apparent UK convention for writing date) :P but i'm some how the idiot b/c he couldn't figure it out? :o Oh, and for everything i hand in to him I have to make sure it has the UK date on it properly. GRR! a classic time where i wanted to say "suck it up princess and get over yourself!" but i have a feeling if i said that, he probably wouldn't take it the right way. if there even is a right way to take that ;) LOL
well eventhough there is much more evidence of Linacre being an ASS! i'll save u all from the torture of reading it. and end this RANT before it really get's going ;)
so i should probably end it here, otherwise i'll get a good Flame on the go and u'll be reading for hrs. well if u actually read the whole caboodal.
so ciao

HI ALL

it's still me, just a different log in name ;). Makes my life easier, but that's another story entirely.
well this week has been fun, got to see what my 10 loci dna sequence looks like. i'm pretty heterozygous <:o) PARTY! Hopefully our second attempt at the 16 Loci Kit will work better then the last. we put alot more dna extract in this time, so we may blow off the end of the scale but Result is better then No Result. Either way, it appears as though, contrary to popular belief, I am Human. either that or the Aliens who engineered me were really good at faking human DNA ;)
hehehe
yup i'm nuts, but it may just be that it's been a Happy month so far and i hope it continues to be :D
well later days

BTW Mikey if u are reading this HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! hopefully u don't have to work. i'll see if i can get through at around 23h30ish my time. here's hoping there's money on my card :D
