"For the first time, he heard something that he knew to be music. He heard people singing. Behind him, across vast distances of space and time, from the place he had left, he thought he heard music too.

...But perhaps, it was only an echo."



- Lois Lowry,
The Giver, Ch. 23

“What if we had ideas that could think for themselves?
What if one day our dreams no longer needed us?
When these things occur and are held to be true, the time will be upon us
The time of angels”

Doctor Who 5x04 - The Time of Angels

I'm not weird, I'm just very awkward

When you're a kid, they tell you it's all 'Grow up. Get a job. Get married. Get a house. Have a kid, and that's it.' But the truth is, the world is so much stranger than that. It's so much darker. And so much madder. And so much better.


Midget small, ultra blonde hair, blue eyed and fidgety.
I'm not weird, I'm just very awkward. The worst part of being as awkward as i am is that i know I'm doing it. I know I'm being irrationally awkward but i can't stop, it's something i swear that's been hardwired in me since birth!

If anything i'm a reader.
Weddings, school trips, family outings, family meals, birthday's and what have you, my mum would have to search and question me before such events. Because if she didn't, then the book would be hidden inside some pocket or other and as soon as whatever it was got under way i'd be found in a corner reading. That's just who i was. I'm not weird, i'm just very very awkward, i have suffered my whole life from being misunderstood, but I would have suffered a hell of a lot more if i had been understood....

-&-
Now back to the present, i'm 16 years old and slightly grazing the tiny height of 4ft 10 (yes, midget) i'm attending collage... And well lets just say it's rare now for me not to have at least a small book with me wherever i may go.

I will eventually grow up and live a life people approve of....(maybe) =P

little songs: makes me all warm and fuzzy

it makes me all warm and fuzzy



What If by Kate Winslet



"What if I had never let you go
Would you be the man I used to know
What if I had never walked away
'Cos I still love you more than I can say
If I'd stayed
If you'd tried
If we could only turn back time
But I guess we'll never know
"

This is the only song that can make me really happy, but just in the same way can make me cry.
Either way, heart-warming or heart wrenching this song is just beautiful... (:

A Spaceman Came Travelling by Chris de Burgh


"This lovely music went trembling through the ground,
And many were wakened on hearing that sound,
And travellers on the road, the village they found,
By the light of that ship in the sky, which shone all round..."

pure bliss,
this song is has been a real comfort to me for so many long years.
It just renders me speechless, i get very sentimental over this.. =P

Memory from Cats (the musical)


"Daylight
See the dew on the sunflower
And a rose that is fading
Roses whither away
Like the sunflower
I yearn to turn my face to the dawn
I am waiting for the day . . .

Midnight
Not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight
The withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan

Memory
All alone in the moonlight
I can smile at the old days
I was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again

Every streetlamp
Seems to beat a fatalistic warning
Someone mutters
And the streetlamp gutters
And soon it will be morning

Daylight
I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I musn't give in
When the dawn comes
Tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin

Burnt out ends of smoky days
The stale cold smell of morning
The streetlamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning

Touch me
It's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me
You'll understand what happiness is

Look
A new day has begun"

it's so touching,
i love the version w/ Elaine Paige.
This has been one of my favourite songs for many years.
I listen to this song the most because the vocal and music are both so beautiful!
Since it's been in my itunes it's never been off my ipod..(:

TV Memories _ Courage the Cowardly Dog





I've been re-watching Courage the Cowardly Dog episodes.
I used to watch Courage all time when i was young. Well i spent half the day looking for Courage on the internet and i was LUCKY! I found this blog where i could watch all of the episodes! :D
Seriously i feel like a kid again lol
I wish they would bring this cartoon back already, i've missed it for so long.



By far my utmost favorite villain..!
FREAKY FRED
"Naaaughtyyyyyyyy"



(:






Cousin Freaky Fred

* Voiced by Paul Schoeffler in Freaky Fred, and Ian James Corlett in Ball of Revenge.

Cousin Fred is Muriel's creepy nephew who was sent to a psych ward for crazy barbers, due to his obsession with cutting hair.[1] While visiting Muriel, he gets locked in the bathroom with Courage by "accident" and shaves off all of Courage's fur while reminiscing about similar incidents involving his pet gerbil, his girlfriend, and a customer at his barber shop. Aside from his obsession with cutting hair, he has no other psychotic tendencies, and does seem to have a sense of what he thinks is weird, as he chooses not to shave Courage's tail on the grounds that it "would be weird". Most of his dialogue is rendered to himself in prose, in which he inserts the word "naughty" at every fourth line, or alternatively "in a certain mood" or "you know".



Courage the Cowardly Dog - Overview (wikipedia)

Courage the Cowardly Dog revolves around the exploits of Courage, a small, pink/purple (while in dark) dog who, despite his name, is ironically afraid of the most mundane things. His fears are normally justified, however, as Eustace, Muriel, and Courage are constantly attacked by (or running into) variousmonsters, aliens, villains, curses, experiments, natural disasters, and other forms of peril that Courage must face and do whatever it takes to keep Muriel, Eustace, and himself safe.

Every opening of the show documents Courage's past: "Abandoned as a pup, he was found by Muriel, who lives in the middle of Nowhere with her husband Eustace Bagge. But creepy stuff happens in Nowhere; it's up to Courage to save his new home."

In the series, when Courage wants to save his family from the villains and monsters, instead of typical feats of strength, the two engage in a game, normally something juvenile such as dodgeball or a , staring contest in which Courage usually, if not always, loses. The villain is then usually defeated in a variety of many other ways: Courage tricks the villain, he flees from them, makes amends with the villain, somehow convinces the villain to change, Muriel saves the day, or in some cases, the villain simply voluntarily moves on in favor of scheming another diabolical plot. Almost every single event that happens to him causes him to scream maniacally and usually shape-shift into some object that portrays fear, sorrow, confusion, or some other related emotion. However, he always overcomes his fear to save Muriel.

A typical feature of the show is the spoofing or reference of various classic horror and cult films as the basis for many episodes. This is seen in episodes such as "The Demon in the Mattress", "The Precious, Wonderful, Adorable, Loveable Duckling", "Heads of Beef", "Klub Katz", "Night of the Weremole", "Journey to the Center of Nowhere", "The Great Fusilli", "Robot Randy", "1000 Years of Courage", "Invisible Muriel", "Human Habitrail", "A Night at the Katz Motel", "Courage the Fly", "Mega Muriel the Magnificent", "The Transplant", "McPhearson Phantom", "The House of Discontent", "Courage vs. Mecha-Courage" and "Hard Drive Courage".

In numerous episodes- especially in the Pilot- Eustace would get hurt in some (usually dark) way by the end of the episode, only to come back alive and unscathed in the next episode. In the Pilot, Eustace ate an alien chicken egg and turned into an alien chicken to be shot by a ray gun. In another episode, "Courage in the Big Stinking City", Eustace was eaten (spare for bones) by Schwick's mysterious beast, however he became an animated skeleton instead of a truly dead person.


lol ah brings back so many memories.. (:

Music _ Misguided Ghosts by Paramore

Misguided Ghosts by Paramore






-X-I'm going away for a while
But I'll be back
Don't try to follow me
'Cause I'll return as soon as possible
See, I'm trying to find my place
But it might not be here where I feel safe

We all learn to make mistakes
And run from them, from them
With no direction
We'll run from them, from them
With no conviction

'Cause I'm just one of those ghosts
Travelin' endlessly
Don't need no roads
In fact, they follow me
And we just go in circles

And now I'm told that this is life
That pain is just a simple compromise
So we can get what we want out of it

Would someone care to classify?
A broken heart and some twisted minds
So I can find someone to rely on
And run to them, to them
Full speed ahead
Oh, you are not useless
We are just

Misguided ghosts
Travelin' endlessly
The ones we trusted the most
Pushed us far away
And there's no one road
We should not be the same
But I'm just a ghost
And still they echo me
They echo me in circles -X-



God i cannot get over this song
the guitar is so comforting to me
and yes! hayleys voice is totally sounding like regina in parts.
this is such an amazing transition for them.

As for the meaning
i find it hard to describe
its obvious in some ways
but i feel like theres something below the surface
and im trying to find interviews where hayley talked about it
but im not having any luck right now.... lol

enjoy (:

Sleep_Daze - HMV _The Saturdays

Hey, I'm back from my weekend in york lol... I was only away for Friday and half of Saturday with my papa and mum ect.. To visit my Aunt Peggy and Uncle Sam =P...

On the way there funny enough i went to a HMV signing -'The Saturdays' and i got my copy of 'Wordshaker' signed! I really couldn't believe my luck lol.... :D


Anyway remember how last Sunday i went to see Michael McIntyre at the SECC in Glasgow, well he was AMAZING!

I never thought i'd laugh that hard! I mean really laugh. Not a giggle here and there, i mean a snot and tears laugh out loud kinna thing. =P

It was packed.. lol
We were all like sheep following this heard of folk though this damp creepy tunnel to get around from where the taxi guy dropped us off to the SECC by eight o'clock... It was pissing down all night, seriously i wasted all 3hrs of combing drying and spraying my hair to get it just right just for MR Rain Cloud to come out and drown me! LOL it was funny when this fat guy off to my right started arguing with his wife (might of been his wife i dunno) and slipped on his cunt. He deserved it, he was irritating.
.. rwar ;)
