drivin' you wild, you're torn up inside.
Okay, I LOVE British/Australian girl pop singers. Holly Valance and Lily Allen have been rocking my world lately.
Chesh did an entry containing the answers to her lyrics quiz, so:
1. As I lie between these covers, I wanna tell her how I love it when she chokes me in the backseat of a riverboat. Scissor Sisters, "She's My Man."
2. Most fall in line - they do the dance and salute the safest thing. IAMX, "President."
+3. Obstacles and signs, perilous and looming. t.A.T.u., "Dangerous & Moving."
+4. These days, wastin' away. The kind I'd rather save. Bernard Butler, "Stay."
5. I would go out tonight, but I haven't got a stitch to wear. The Smiths, "This Charming Man."
+6. You can always pull out if you like it too much. Garbage, "Supervixen."
7. We'll ride through the city tonight - we'll see the city's ripped backsides. Iggy Pop, "The Passenger."
+8. I never want to dream - it infiltrates beauty. Manic Street Preachers, "I Live To Fall Asleep."
9. I wish, I wish, I wish that something would happen! Radiohead, "The Bends."
10. Knick-knack, paddy-whack, Chad's got an anorak. Mansun, "Ski Jump Nose."
11. Why can't we see that when we bleed, we bleed the same? Muse, "Map Of The Problematique."
+12. I drive a Rolls Royce, 'cos it's good for my voice. T. Rex, "Children Of The Revolution."
13. See to believe - gotta take it from me. Johnny Marr + The Healers, "Down On The Corner."
+14. Things like that drive me out of my mind. Lou Reed, "Satellite Of Love."
+15. Oh, come on and kick me! You've got your problems... Weezer, "Hash Pipe."
16. I've seen the hole in your arm and the needle's a much better screw. Suede, "The Living Dead."
17. But if I'd been wiser, a whole lot wiser, wiser might've thought again! Travis, "U16 Girls."
+18. When I feel heavy metal! Blur, "Song 2."
+19. All the naked and the dead should hold each other's hands as I scream out loud each night in a dream no one understands! Gavin Friday, "Next."
+20. I will try to understand that just because you're fuckin' him, it doesn't mean you don't love me. Spacehog, "Space Is The Place."
21. Take me to the place I love - take me on away. Red Hot Chili Peppers, "Under The Bridge."
+22 EXTRA SPECIAL FOR SARAH. She's got the kind of look that defies gravity. Shakira, "Don't Bother."
So there's that.
Tonight, I spent a few hours helping Smeg cull clothes from her closet for AmVets, and then I did the same to mine. So much more room now!! Room for ... new clothes!! *stupid*
THEN, I rearranged my room. It took 4 hours to dust and vacuum and move everything, but it was worth it. I have my silver fiberoptic tree up on Earth Table, but I can't find the cord, so it's decorated with little plastic Mardi Gras-type necklaces and a hot pink fluffy hairclip until I find more stuff for it. Smeg and Dad spent the weekend putting up lights and decorations outside, and it's all gorgeous! I took pictures a few hours ago while we were hauling out AmVets crap, and I'll post those tomorrow, along with pictures of my red hair!
I have 6 scarves going. At least. This is fucking lame. I also have an afghan and that damned hooded vest. And other things I want to make. I NEED TIME TO KNIT. I feel like I barely have time to think. I need school to be done with, but I don't want to rush Christmas, so I'm going to have to try and deal with the demands of school + holiday preparations.
Smeg helped me practice for the retarded Zelda play after I finished cleaning, and we went to the basement where I practiced screaming and we cracked the fuck up over nothing. I love when we do that.
MY LITTLE SIBLING'S BIRTHDAY IS ON SATURDAY. SHE WILL BE 19!! <333 Love to the Smeg!
Oh, Smeg presented me with a quandary earlier: Dad asked her if there's anything Magnificent and Special that I want for my birthday, as it's my 21st and thus a milestone. I guess since I basically missed out on all the usual milestones - 16 and 18, namely - he wants to make a big deal of this one. But what to ask for? I can't drive so a car's out, I don't need a fancier cell phone, I don't need a digital camera or webcam, I have CD players, I don't want an iPod, and a gym membership is too sad and lame in Smeg's opinion (I tend to agree - it sounds like this present should be more fun than that). There's always... a Wii, but I'm happy with the GameCube!! I don't need a laptop, because I have a perfectly good desktop computer that's only a year old, and I can use the internet at school if I direly need it.
The best things we came up with are:
- Brett Anderson in a box
- the city of London
- a new dresser that is not an antique piece of rickety squeaky shit
- an exercise machine of some kind
- a new bike
- a bed that is not a squeaky cheaply made plywoody piece of shit
Of those, the most useful and practical is the dresser. But how lame would it be to ask for a new dresser? Granted, I REALLY HATE my dresser, and it would be so nice to have a useful piece of furniture instead of this shitpile, and they are expensive so this seems like a good chance to spring for one. But it's a DRESSER. So you can see that this is a quandary!
What present would you consider magnificent and befitting of a 21st birthday? It doesn't have to be big or expensive. Just... awesome.
And yeah, I already came up with guitar and piano lessons from Bernard Butler, and importing Chesh to stay here foreverz, and the biggest crayon in the world, so ... those are out.
NOW I NEED TO GO TO BED BECAUSE I'LL ONLY GET 3 HOURS OF SLEEP AS IT IS. I AM SO DUMB. GOOD NIGHTZ0R.
