04:27 pm - Only one person will understand this post... ...and I'm not even sure if he still reads this or not.
Every day at least twice, at least, I think ahead to the future, to when the waters will be calmer and we've both grown enough. I think, and dream, and wait with baited breath for the time when you'll come back to me. I can't stop thinking about it.
I miss you so much that it actually does hurt.

05:46 pm - It's a Roaring Girl Cabaret double feature!! "Champagne (Lily Speaks)" I only drink champagne When I'm happy, when I'm sad When I've been very, very good Or when I've been bad
When I have company I consider it obligatory And when I am solitary I dabble in it to
(French)
When I feel celebratory I deem it to be neccessary And when I'm plagued with melancholy It provides the needed cure When I'm in love it's compulsory And when broken hearted gives me sympathy I trifle with it when I'm not hungry And I drink it when I am
(French)
Otherwise I never touch it Unless I'm thirsty.
"Lion in the Streets" There's a lion in the streets And I can't come out to play But I can hear the bleats Of the lambs who bleed today And the silver cord is loosened And I have no regrets And I hope that you'll forgive me But I never will forget
And my lucky star shines As he stumbles through the door And I know as I pour the wine Sticks and stones will break bones no more
And I said la la la lalala, la la la lalala, la la la lalalalala
Broken glass at my feet And the smell of almonds in the air He said it tasted wrong But he didn't speak for long
And the golden ball is broken With a helpful push from me Ne'er a truer word was spoken Death is swallowed in victory Death is swallowed in victory
**wasn't able to transcribe the French text in "Champagne"**

10:23 pm - December is always Morcheeba month We always have a choice Or at least I think we do We can always use our voice I thought this to be true We can live in fear Or extend our selves to love We can fall below Or lift our selves above Fear can stop you loving Love can stop your fear Fear can stop you loving But it's not always that clear I always try so hard To share my self around But now I'm closing up again Drilling through the ground Fear can stop you loving Love can stop your fear Fear can stop you loving But it's not always that clear I'd love to give my self away But I find it hard to trust I've got no map to find my way Amongst these clouds of dust Fear can stop you loving Love can stop your fear Fear can stop you loving Love can stop your fear Fear can stop you loving Love can stop your fear Fear can stop you loving But it's not always that clear

09:38 pm - Oh MERCY! Loosen the vice./Damn these stupid poetic moods.... "Sound of Water" - Sarah Slean
Just to hear the sound of water Just to put the fire on ice I'm lying down in the shower O mercy loosen the vice Sometimes the sword is so heavy And the pain has a ravenous mouth In the pits of my own making Sometimes I don't think I'll ever get out
All the world stroking their comas And the madmen making the news Bent over like a beggar I was saying "it's no use" This ain't the world for intelligent women Unless you like swimming in your own dark sea These are times for urgent rhymes But where the poetry?
When the light The light is hard to find! And you're walking blind You only need to change your mind Your mind
Wide awake and hope-infected I became a glittering queen Every light in my direction Was a bright magnificent green Adorned with invisible riches I saw my stitches glowing so bright No the burden was not heavy, For the master it was light!
When the light The light is hard to find! And you're walking blind You only need to change your mind You only need to change your mind Your mind Current Mood: depressed

10:17 pm - And now more Countdown to Halloween with Amy Winehouse! For you I was a flame Love is a losing game Five story fire as you came Love is a losing game
Why do I wish I never played Oh what a mess we made And now the final frame Love is a losing game
Played out by the band Love is a losing hand More than I could stand Love is a losing hand
Self professed... profound Till the chips were down ...know you're a gambling man Love is a losing hand
Though I'm rather blind Love is a fate resigned Memories mar my mind Love is a fate resigned
Over futile odds And laughed at by the gods And now the final frame Love is a losing game

11:40 pm - Amy Winehouse It's okay in the day, I'm staying busy Tied up enough so I don't have to wonder where is he Got so sick of crying, so just lately When I catch myself I do a 180
I stay up, clean the house, at least I'm not drinking Run around just so I don't have to think about thinking That silent sense of content, that everyone gets Just disappears soon as the sun sets
This face in my dreams seizes my guts He floods me with dread Soaked in soul, he swims in my eyes by the bed Pour myself over him, moon spilling in And I wake up alone
If I was my heart I'd rather be restless The second I stop the sleep catches up and I'm breathless This ache in my chest, as my day is done now The dark covers me and I cannot run now
My blood running cold, I stand before him It's all I can do to assure him When he comes to me, I drip for him tonight Drowning in me we bathe under blue light
His face in my dreams seizes my guts He floods me with dread Soaked in soul He swims in my eyes by the bed Pour myself over him Moon spilling in
And I wake up alone And I wake up alone And I wake up alone And I wake up alone

02:00 am - Clearly... While I'm well aware that parents get mad at their children for staying awake until (in their minds) obscene hours of the night/the wee hours of the morning, I'd like to believe that my mother is the only mother in the world to get mad at her 23 year old for staying up until 2 in the morning to finish watching West Side Story on Turner Classic Movies. Oh, and I never got to finish it. Turning off the TV and coming upstairs was the only way to get her to stop screaming. I don't get it. Sometimes I think my father and I are the only people in this household who think rationally.
Me, watching a musical on TV until 2 A.M., volume low, not singing along, everyone sleeping.
Mother, yelling at me from the top of the stairs to go to bed, waking up my father who has to be up in 2 and a half hours and forcing a response back up from me.
Pick your poison. I'd like to think that the former option creates less noise and a friendlier environment for everyone to function in.
Also, on the note of West Side Story, since this is my first time watching it...or at least a large chunk of it...what's with all the terrible singing? And bad accents? And "Puerto Rican" girls who really just look like run of the mill white girls with poofy black wigs and all over spray on tans? Seriously...this is supposed to be a classic. While some lines and some parts of the show and songs did amuse me (some parts were rather witty...I chuckled inside) I just didn't find it to be as appealing as grade 12 vocal jazz class made it out to be. OH! And I found that "America" song quite funny considering the financial state America is in now. I'm CLEARLY biased but...why would anyone want to emigrate there these days anyway? Especially when Canada is so much better and not that much farther away.
Would I watch it again? You bet your cholita ass I would!! This hot mess is so entertaining at stupid o'clock in the morning all alone.
Until the mother with the real latin accent breaks into your mental, musical theatre high, that is. Current Mood: irritated

08:05 pm - NIИ!!!!!!!!!111oneone1one HOLY COW GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 I WENT TO GO SEE NIN! I CAN HAZ NIN! OBVIOUSLY, L0LLERSKATES.
It COULD be the air conditioning, but I swear that typing that sent a chill down my spine. Horrible. The same way I hate butchering Portuguese by saying words with a terrible, anglicized accent makes me want to wash myself inside and out because I feel so dirty....I also hate butchering English because any language deserves so much better than that. ANY LANGUAGE. Yes....even the crazy type of English the folks up in Newfoundland speak.
Anyhow. So I went to see Nine Inch Nails last night at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto and I loved it. Plain and simple. It was perfect and the crowd wasn't one extreme or the other, thankfully. No assholes ruined "Hurt" (thank you fellow Canadians) no one flipped out on stage despite a few tech issues. Although watching Robin to see what he was going to do when his guitar was crapping out at the beginning of "The Big Comedown" was interesting.
This is the first show that I've ever been so close to, seat wise, and I'm glad I popped my awesome seat cherry at a NIN show. WHAT I would give to just be able to hit nearly every show on this tour and follow them around North America. Accursed money!!! Or lack thereof.
It's so difficult for me to actually just quickly and nonchalantly type some sort of real review on the internet for some strange reason. The only things I can spit out seem relatively fangirly I guess. I loved Robin. He was incredible to watch and I found myself watching him for most of the show. I never thought I'd like anyone more than Aaron North, but it turns out that's not the case. In my opinion, Robin tops Aaron in a heartbeat. He's got him topped in everything from skill and presence to style and temperament. I'm very glad I was seated stage Robin, the show was really great from that side. JMJ is a great addition to the band and he is VERY talented. In fact, I love all of the multi talent in each and every one of the musicians which shined through especially well on all the Ghosts songs. Someone over at the Echoing the Sound forums had mentioned that they wouldn't mind being treated to an all Ghosts live experience, and I've gotta say that I wouldn't mind that either. In fact, I am going to request that. All Ghosts live show? Please?
I don't know if I mentioned this earlier but I was really happy with the section I was in. Despite the girl to my left who seemed awfully tanked after 2 cups of beer, and even she amused me more than anything. EXCEPT for the 2 or so times she INSISTED on YELLING "I LOVE YOU TRENT REZNOR!!!" Christ. You're a grown woman. Must you insist on yelling such things? It was actually a mix of people sitting and standing, but no one was stupid. Most of the sitting happened during Ghosts, and I sat to, mainly because I was in way too much awe of everything that was assaulting my eyes in front of me. It was beautiful. Hence why I would like a full 2+ hours of Ghosts, Ghosts, Ghosts.
Anyhow, I think I may actually sit down and pen a proper review one day. Actually write it out, which is what I'm prone to doing before creating any sort of digital file. I prefer it and I feel like it helps me write and organize my thoughts better.
To close, I left with 2 shirts, a generic NIN/Year Zero girl shirt (because I've wanted a NIN girl shirt for so, so long and the girl shirts at the 2006 show were hideous, in my opinion) and a tour date shirt. I went in originally just wanting to get a tour date shirt because I didn't think they'd have any girl shirts (they didn't at the previous shows in this tour) then when I saw they had both...well, I got both. Unfortunately, the ONE tour shirt that I had absoloutely zero hesitation in wanting only started at size medium. I'm always told, "oh, don't worry, it'll shrink, it'll shrink!" Yeah, fuck off. It never shrinks enough to actually fit me you cunts. So whenever a sales person tells me that, I kind of mentally roll my eyes and ignore that part of their sales pitch because it never works on me. I'm a stick you people, you can see that, this medium will never shrink to fit me the way a small would. Anyhow...I'm getting off track. However, I decided I'd splurge and get the size medium tour date shirt as well. The only other tour date shirt that came in small, while cool, I had already seen it in pictures and had original doubts about buying. Meanwhile, the red stripe/The Slip tour date shirt that I ended up buying was the one shirt that upon seeing I knew I'd get for sure. So despite being a size too large, I'm quite happy with myself for getting it. Besides, if it ends up being ridiculously big on me (which it isn't) I could always just give it to Tiago and then he'd have a NIN shirt to wear! Yay!
I took a SHIT TON of pictures during the show, of which only 14 turned out presentable to human eyes. I have them up on my Flickr, check them out! And if you haven't already, head on over to nin.com and download their latest album The Slip today! It's a great album and the perfect step forward in their musical direction. Every day I'm hooked on a new song, today it's "Echoplex."
OH! And one more thing, super quickly, before I bring this to an end. I NOW know my people go to multiple shows throughout certain tours. Now I want to go to all of the other shows nearby, I want to see EVERY song they've played at all the other shows but didn't play last night. I just want to see that amazing light show over and over and over. Current Location: My room Current Mood: nostalgic Current Music: "Echoplex" - Nine Inch Nails
