She's an Extraordinary girl
In an ordinary world
And she cant seem to get away

He lacks the courage in his mind
Like a child left behind
Like a pet left in the rain

She's all alone again
Wiping the tears from her eyes
Some days he feels like dying
She gets so sick of crying

She sees the mirror of herself
An image she wants to sell
To anyone willing to buy

He steals the image in her kiss
From her hearts apocalypse
From the one called whatsername

She's all alone again
Wiping the tears from her eyes
Some days he feels like dying
She gets so sick of crying

She's all alone again
Wiping the tears from her eyes
Some days he feels like dying
Some days it's not worth trying
Now that they both are finding
She gets so sick of crying

Woohoo first time I remember posting song lyrics. Anyway I'm listening to Green Day again.

Important Stuff

Last night I was worried about the econs test today, since I only started studying last night. But I woke up today with the now-familiar feel of a bad headache tinged with the creeping sense of nausea. So I went back to sleep, woke up, went back to sleep, tried to read, could not, slept again, woke up, read, then, realising it was 10.40am, made the last order for a Macdonald's breakfast. Then I watched that battle scene from Pirates of the Caribbean 3 again, and continued to read. Sidenote: Anansi Boys is sadly quite disappointing so far, but only because it's not as epic as American Gods. Anyway, to continue this morning trend of doing important, epic, significant, life-changing, thought-provoking stuff, I proceeded to do those blog quizzes thingies to post on your blog to show how great one (viz, me) is. Thus:

What Mark Francis Thompson Means

You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated. You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want. You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way! You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something. You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You are a seeker of knowledge, and you have learned many things in your life. You are also a keeper of knowledge - meaning you don't spill secrets or spread gossip. People sometimes think you're snobby or aloof, but you're just too deep in thought to pay attention to them. You are loving, compassionate, and ruled by your feelings. You are able to be a foundation for other people... but you still know how to have fun. Sometimes your emotions weigh you down, but you generally feel free from them. You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people. You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts. You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals. You are very open. You communicate well, and you connect with other people easily. You are a naturally creative person. Ideas just flow from your mind. A true chameleon, you are many things at different points in your life. You are very adaptable. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong. You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know. You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do. You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life. You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home. You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble. You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out. Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia. Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person. You are well rounded, with a complete perspective on life. You are solid and dependable. You are loyal, and people can count on you. At times, you can be a bit too serious. You tend to put too much pressure on yourself. You are influential and persuasive. You tend to have a lot of power over people. Generally, you use your powers for good. You excel at solving other people's problems. Occasionally, you do get a little selfish and persuade people to do things that are only in your interest.

Incredibly, most of it seems true, and all that just from my name! Sadly I think it's largely because most archetypal generic statements have a hard time being false. Anyway, I did one more:

What Your Taste in Music Says About You

Your musical tastes are intense and rebellious. You are intelligent... but in a very unconventional way. You are curious about the world. You love doing something new. In fact, you enjoy taking risks and doing things most people would shy away from. You are very physical. It's likely that you're athletic, but not into team sports. You have the soul of an artist. Beauty and harmony are important to you.

Uh huh. Now I shall stop my internets and go shower then head to school for the soccer match and Andre's play tonight. Also,I have to make a peanut butter sandwich. Bye.

Happy Mother's Day

God, Saturday night was a night of shit. Belated Mother's Day dinner at some ulu Thai restaurant in the middle of Still Road, squeezed between a dusty car dealer and some other shop, where we were the only customers. Dinner was ok and mostly seafood, but then my stomach began to feel weird after that. Thinking I had just eaten too much, I went home and proceeded to watch Stardust (having just finished the great novel). It was a great movie but then I started to get a headache. Tried to sleep but images of bloody princes and fantastical nonsense sped through my head giving me the worst headache I had ever gotten. Goddamn Gaiman-induced trauma. Finally managed to sleep but awoke at 5 with a horrible feeling and even worse headache. But then I vomited and went back to sleep and woke up at 3pm, took panadols and lazed around til today and now I'm ok, although abit disoriented. Now whenever I think of that sick, disgusting soft-shelled Thai crab I feel like puking my guts out. Fack. I wish I had gone for Rock On Myanmar instead and taken photos.

The Things That I Want

1, The gift of amnesia, to trade in the fait accompli of finishing a story for the wonder and joy of having a new one to spend a sleepless night delving into.
2, A proper camera.
3, An impulsive cure for my boredom and free time, in the vague fabrications of spending it with friends.
4, For time to fly, so that two weeks will pass by unnoticed.
5, A lack of foreboding, instead of an equipoise between that and preparation, with the holes stopped to prevent that ominous feel from creeping in.
6, Stasis.
7, For my future self to note the shallow qualities of my previous wants, in which was hopefully a great time, and for the wants to retain such qualities, transient and syncopating.


One for sorrow, two for joy, three for a girl, four for for for..., five for silver, six for gold, seven for a secret, never to be told.
