Wow. I used to have an online diary! Look! Amazing. Okay, look. I'm really sorry, but I've been distracted. Yes, for the past year. I'm sorry I haven't gotten around to writing, but I'm going to make up for it right now... with a survey! ...Of sorts. Okay, who's ready for the popular internet game... Guess the Song Title! You all know the rules! I listen to random songs on my iPod and type some'a the lyrics in here and you all get to waste time guessing which song the lyrics came from! And I'll even throw in a bonus and give you pictures of who the lyrics are by! Huzzah! Heeeeeeeeeeeere we go!
1. I would die for you... I would die for you. I've been dying just to feel you by my side. To know that you're mine. I will cry for you, I will cry for you. I will wash away your pain with all my tears and drown your fear.
2. From the first breath of her life, she flew straight into my arms. I used to catch her from the swings when she was 5. Now she dances on the wind in a world as hard as stone. She's so anxious to begin and read to fly.
3. We were drawn from the wheels. We were brave like soldiers, falling down under the pale moonlight. You were holding me like someone broken and I couldn't tell you but I'm telling you now: just let me hold you while you're falling apart.
4. What's the time? Well, it's gotta be close to midnight. My body's talking to me. It says time for danger. It says I wanna commit a crime. Wanna be the cause of a fight. Wanna put on a tight skirt and flirt with a stranger.
5. I can't be losing sleep over this, no I can't. And now I cannot stop pacing. Give me a few hours, I'll have this all sorted out. If my mind would just stop racing... 'Cause I cannot stand still. I can't be there so sturdy. This cannot be happening.
6. It's like you're a drug. It's like you're a demon I can't face down, it's like I'm stuck... It's like I'm running from you all the time. And I know I let you have all the power. It's like the only company I seek is misery all around. It's like you're a leech... sucking the life from me.
7. I worry I weigh 3 times my body. I worry I throw my fear around. But this morning, there's a calm I can't explain. The rock candy's melted, only diamonds now remain. By the time I recognize this moment, this moment will be gone.
8. Hold me now... stop the morning light from breaking, something's coming over me. I don't know what it is I'm saving. The clock ticks by and it just might change everything. If I don't give you all that's waiting, who knows what tomorrow will bring?
9. Well... the Poopsmith, he could talk. And Mazipan would rock. And the stick would be this big ol' tree who tried to eat everyone except the Cheat and me. And the King of Town would be underground in a box filled up with peas.
10. We went to the coffee/tea shop on our first date... and it started off great. We made with the talkingn and it was just fine but it soon turned into that awkward silence and I didn't know what to do next. So we sat there with all the couple kissing. And soon, things began deteriorating. And you began turning into the human hosepipe.
11. I had it tough when I was just a little kid; it didn't matter what I thought, it didn't matter what I did. I felt the doubt for what I lacked right from the start. It did a number on my head, but it could never touch my heart. 'Cause I had just enough imagination, just enough to keep the faith.
12. I linger in the doorway of alarm clocks screaming, monsters calling my name. Let me stay where the wind will whisper to me. Where the raindrops, as they're falling, tell a story. In my field of paper flowers and candy clouds of lullaby, I lie inside myself for hours, then watch my purple sky fly over me.
13. Creeping up on you is the wrong thing to do. I found your address, got you phone number too. Visit all the stores where you buy all your clothes. Been to secret places you think nobody knows. If I have to live without you, nobody could. I need to be around you, watching you.
14. It's so quiet, walking along the edge. It won't be long now till I forget who I am. I am so afraid to move forward. All the mistakes I've made surround me. So I run away. I cannot face what I'm throwing away. It's just as well. You could always tell when I was hollow.
15. They were the sweetest wonds I've ever heard, my heart could barely take it in, like water offered to the lips of a tired and thirsty man. 'Cause it's a tangled web I've woven and I don't know all the reasons, but it amazes me to wake up to your mercy every morning.
16. Oh, I couldn't live a single day without you. Actually, on second though, well, I suppose I could. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is, honey, you're the greatest. Well, at any rate, I guess you're pretty good. Now it seems to me, I'm relatively lucky. I know I probably couldn't ask for too much more. I honestly can say you're an above-average lady. You're almost just what I've been looking for.
17. Well, he looks at me with those innocent eyes and says, "It looks like you're wearing some kind of disguise because your hair sticks up, your shoes are untied, and I hope that you got that shirt at half-price." And every word I say falls flat on the floor. I try to tell a joke, he's heard it before.
18. Move your body like a hairy troll learning how to rock and roll. Spin around like a crazy elf dancing by himself. Get down like a unicorn. No stopping till the break of dawn. Put your hands up in the air... like an ogre who just don't care.
19. We like to buy, we like to spend, to keep up with the latest trends, but we don't get no satisfaction living like a slave to fashion. No more thinking for yourself... just get it off a shelf. Oh, why be perfect? No, it's not worth it. Don't be so obsessed. Come on, give it a rest. This is not some contest. Just do your best. 'Cause nobody's perfect.
20. I don't want to stand on a stage with a sword. I went to a pantomime once. I was bored. I'm not a poetical sort of a person like you. When I need a poem, the street and the gutters will do. There's Tommy Flannigan who lights the gas lamps. 190 lamps in Phoenix Pack alone. He's done it drunk for over 57 years... in Dublin.
Here's hoping I'll write a real entry before 2007! Woo!
<3, Holly
