Baby, ain't been much going down.
I've left it a while and everyone else seems to be having a bit of a burst of inspiration. Actually, I have to say, reading (I can't do the funny linky thing because I am retarded in ways of the funny linky things) loveandlithium's poetry did make me think how much I miss writing. I've been so obsessed with academic writing I haven't spared a thought for my much loved hobby. I'm totally inspired to spend this evening penning so I'm incredibly grateful to him for igniting that dying spark in me.
Chris gave me the last EP of Hot Chip's neither of us have. I am the proud owner of every song of Hot Chip's (minus a couple of remixes on the Over and Over single - give it time). He told me off for blabbing I had the other one so I'll please both him and myself by not saying which it is - not that anyone here really cares lol. Only 50 copies of it were ever made so it's incredibly hard to find. and i don't understand why - I think it's absolutely amazing. I think it's just Joe and Alexis and there's only five tracks but there's something so unique and stunning about each one even though they're all so different.
One of the many many things I adore about Hot Chip is their lyrics. I love simple lyrics with a big impact. Radiohead start to irritate me with some of their lyrics - they get too abstract - it means nothing to someone like me. And I think that lyrics mean more to me when I can really relate to them which makes sense I'm sure.
"All I've ever wanted to do is walk down the street with you
All I've ever wanted to be is everything you mean to me
All I've ever wanted to do is walk you down my avenue
All I've ever wanted to be is everything you are to me"
I seem to be able to relate that to about three different people at the moment. And it means something different for each of them. I love clarity in everything and it's pretty clear to me what these words *could* mean.
My head is whirling with ideas for poems and lyrics and words I like and man I just can't think straight. But I really enjoy this buzz. I live for my mind to be busy. There is nothing worse than not thinking to me. I have to be thinking.
I wonder how well certain people think they know me at the moment. I know I am quiet in company but I have pride and opinions just like everyone else. In fact, I've probably got more than is healthy. I won't be manipulated as easily as may be thought.
I also wonder why I ever let myself fall for someone who was so grossly unobtainable and in my face this year. But I guess we can't stop these things. I'm giving it a damn good go though. I know when I'm beat.
What else...It's pancake day which is good. It is very good. I do love pancakes.
