I was sitting outside work waiting to be picked up, when I saw something that inspired me. I promptly SMS'ed it to [info]knoifey_spoony , and now I'll post it here.

She looks out of place, walking down the bitumen sidewalk, cradling the young child against her hip. Her clothes are conservative, traditional African wear covered by a beige coat. The little girl is shielded by white shawl with small flowers gracing the hemline, and as they pass, the breeze picks the end of the shawl up and the girl burrows her face closer into her mothers neck, eyes wide, seeking refuge from the cold, or the light, or the country. And they don't fit here. Their beauty belongs on an ash red road etched with history, not here, not in these cold, dead streets.

I'm tired, but I felt like blogging about today. Today was my uncles 50th birthday. Admittedly, I didn't really much want to put on my pretty dress and don my party face, but my cousin kindly dragged me out of the house to celebrate.

And I'm glad that I did it. He was vividly happy, in the midst of people he loved. In the midst of the people that loved him. And regardless of the fact that I had no other connection to them, no reason or past to share, I loved them for loving him. I felt connected tonight. Connected to my family, connected to my past. It was almost tangible, like I could reach out to any person and find some common ground with them, find some thing to bind us together. I sat beside a girl for an hour before being introduced to her as my second cousin. This being a girl I had never laid eyes on before in my life. And I watched her, sitting on the fringes of us, sharing in our joy, but knowing that it wasn't hers. And I pitied this girl, which seems kind of ridiculous. I'm sure she has a life outside of us, family, and friends, but sitting between Nic and Jess, laughing so hard we cried, toasting champage and coke and water or whatever graced our lips, and just being connected, it felt right. Feeling safety within my family, within the walls that had seen so many memories made, so much heartache, so much love.
I realised today that the bond between us in endless. It has seen unimaginable transition, carried us through the hard times, guided us away from our uncertainty, and stayed hovering between us even in the moments we haven't needed it.

I'm having heaps of little spurts of writing influence lately, although nothing solid. I thought I'd put them all here, so that if they continue to inspire me, perhaps I can build upon them.

 

I was on my way home from Melbourne on Sunday, when this came to mind.

"The darkness is thicker out here. Without any streetlights to preserve the last clinging memories of daylight. Its peaceful, serene. Things look safer in the country, like the mere fact that they're untouched by human presence makes it a better place. Its just you and the darkness. Its easy to forget that there's safety within the light, too. Out here your all alone with your thoughts. And everyone forgets that they are the most dangerous things of all."

Right now, I want to be on a beach. I have this desire to wake up in the early hours of the morning, when everyone else is still sleeping in their beds, wrap myself in a jacket and walk along the freezing cold sand. It's how I best love the beach. Before the sun warms the sand and human feet trample it. Knowing that I'm alone, just me and the ocean, and that everyone else is still asleep. Asleep and missing out. I sit in the sand for as long as I can. Until the sun starts to creep up and dance across the water. Until the shadows fade away, and the quiet noises of humanity call out to me again. I feel strong in the moments before dawn, feel graceful, and beautiful. It reminds me of the insignificance of it all. That my life and my decisions don't matter to the ocean. The ocean continues to do the same thing every day, it pulls, it recedes. It gives and it takes. Regardless of what's happening on it, around it, inside it. The ocean just is. And in the quiet hours of the morning, I just am, too.

Oh, no, I love spending my Saturdays doing nothing. [Oct. 11th, 2008|06:24 pm]
I'm currently wondering what the effectiveness would be of me just chopping myself off at the head.

It seems tempting. [info]knoifey_spoony can tell you just how prone I am to catching a dreaded cold, or some other kind of lurgy. Eugh.

Decapitation pls.

Lyrics meme! [Oct. 5th, 2008|04:00 pm]
Step 1: Put your music player on random.
Step 2: Post the first line(s) from the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Let everyone guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Strike through the songs when someone guesses correctly. (Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is cheating!)


Completely stolen from Tria, here goes!

1. Spend all your time waiting for that second chance, For a break that would make it okay.
2. I wrote a four word letter, with post script in crooked lines, 'Though I'd lived, I'd never been alive.'
3. I'm packed and I'm holding I'm smiling, She living she golden and she lives for me.
4. Despite the lies that you're making, your love is mine for the taking. My love is just waiting to turn your tears to roses.
5. Just three miles from the rest stop, and she slams on the breaks.  'Rest Stop' by Matchbox 20.
6. It must be a sign, though it all was asked for mine, there was something in your talk.
7. I heard there was a secret chord, that David played and it pleased the Lord.  Hallelujah, by Various Artists.
8. My blood bleeds red for all those thoughts you left unsaid. How could you let your guard down and let me impose?
9. Well I tried to tell you so, yes I did, but I guess you didn't know, as I said the story goes.
10. Hats need a beat like awake needs asleep like a pen needs a page, to rewrite you need a mistake.
11. I'm in the business of misery, let's take it from the top. She's got a body like an hourglass it's ticking like a clock. Misery Business by Paramore.
12. In any other world you could tell the difference, and let it all unfurl into broken remenants.
13. Don't stray, don't ever go away. I should be much too smart for this, you know it gets the better of me.
14. I think I'm drowning, axphixiated, I want to break the spell that you've created.
15. Ooh baby don't you know I suffer. Ooh baby can you hear me moan.
16. It's all the same, only the names have changed. Every day it seems we're wasting away.
17. Love is real. Real is love. Love is feeling. Feeling love.
18. This romeo is bleeding, but you can't see his blood. It's nothing but some feelings that this old dog kicked up.
19. I never knew, I never knew that everything was falling through, that everyone I knew was waiting on a cue.
20. Honey I just can't get around it anymore, you make me feel like home is where you are.
21. Threw you the obvious and you flew with it on your back, a name in your recollection, thrown down among a million the same.
22. It's just one more day, no one said there would be rain again.
23. You've got magic inside your fingertips, it's leaking out all over my skin yeah. Every time that I get close to you you're making me weak with the way you look through those eyes.
24. I'm 15 for a moment, caught in between 10 and 20 and I'm just dreaming, counting the ways to where you are.
25. Going out of my mind these days, like I'm walking round in a haze, I can't think straight, I can't concentrate, and I need a shave.
26. The moment I said it, the moment I opened my mouth. Lead in your eyelids, bulldozed the life out of me.  The Moment I Said It by Imogen Heap.
27. 2 AM and she calls me 'cause I'm still awake, can you help me unravel my latest mistake? I don't love him, winter just wasn't my season.  Breathe (2 AM) by Anna Nalick.
28. Don't know what I was looking for when I went home, I found me alone. Sometimes I need someone to say you'll be all right, what's on your mind?
29. Oh my god this hurts like hell. I had that dream again where I was lost for good in out of space. Kill The Messenger by Jack's Mannequin.
30. We tried so hard to understand, but we can't. We held the world up in our hands, and you ran away.

[music |My Chemical Romance]

Whoo, It's been a busy busy weekend. I've been doing heaps of stuff and running on only a few hours sleep, but it's been fun.

Friday night I went to the Wolfmother concert with some friends and my cousin Lana. It was cold, and we were standing outside in the rain for like, 6 hours, but it was awesome. The supporting bands were incredible, and when Wolfmother came out the place went off. They were one of the most amazing live acts i've ever heard. One of those ones that are actually better live than they are recorded. There was such energy in their music. So that was a good night. We were there only Victorian show which was a bit wierd, you'd think they'd perform in Melbourne but i guess that their Victorian fanbase pretty much started here, they did a lot of shows at The Karova Lounge when they were only a small band.

On Saturday night i had one of my Aunts parties, It was a Country and Western theme. That was kind of a drag since it was a 50th (She's my great Aunt). We don't really hang around that side of the family much, but me and Lana livened it up with some good music and dancing. So it wasn't a total loss of an evening.

Today, Sunday, I just went out to lunch and now I'm back here trying to make an attempt to blog more often. We'll see how that goes.

Hope you guys are all great.

New Music! [Mar. 14th, 2007|03:02 pm]
[mood | indifferent]

I've come across a great new band that I love, you guys should totally check them out. :D They're called Making April, and here are the lyrics to one of their songs below:

Making April: Roses and Butterflies.

I can see where you are
I can tell you're enjoying it so far
I would love to escape, but now I'm bound

By the of burn of your eyes
looking on as I'm starting to realize
I'm a pawn in your game and this is checkmate..

As the roses lift their heads to catch a glimpse of my demise
you'll be throwing lies around like ocean waves throw down the tides
and they are breaking on my shore
and the rescue team won't save me now I'm out too far

So I'll waste these nights for a while
but I'll be holding onto you forever
and this is where my heart is cold and torn
as I read the words you wrote last night
the butterflies are creeping through my spine

It's a thrill I can't shake
yeah I know we've been writing a mistake
but it's hard to erase the feelings I've drawn

I was caught in an awkward silence
broken down by the sound of your prelude that you played
to open our symphony

I've been sleeping with the sunrise watching hours pass away
incidentally I'm just waiting for the dusk to kill the day
but now I'm waiting for your call
while I bang on this piano like you care at all

So I'll waste these nights for a while
but I'll be holding onto you forever
and this is where my heart is cold and torn
as I hear the words you're saying tonight
I'm falling for them every single time

As the roses dip their heads a little further to the ground
there's a season change and all the pinks and whites have turned to brown
will we make it through the fall yeah are we gonna make it through this fall
‘cause I don't wanna fall with you

I'm trying, we're dying, yeahhh
I'm taken by your hope-filled lines
they're well designed and dragging me along
I'll be waiting for this chance and I'll be gone
