Another lyric guessing quiz-thingamabob [May. 17th, 2008|05:44 pm]
[Current Location |Eindhoven]
[mood | happy]
[music |The Beatles - Let It Be]

1. Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
2. If I grow up I'll be a singer, wearing rings on every finger
3. When I get to the bottom, I go back to the top of the slide
4. But of all these friends and lovers, there is no one who compares with you
5. Day after day, alone on a hill
6. Goo goo g'joob
7. Na, na na na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na
8. Bright are the stars that shine, dark is the sky
9. I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping
10. He likes to keep his fire engine clean, it's a clean machine
11. Me hiding me head in the sand

[music |Foo Fighters - Long Road To Ruin]

Here's another lyrics guessing game!

1. People try to put us d-down, just because we get around
2. They lived down the block, where eagle court bends
3. There's something rotten here, you better hold your nose
4. God save strawberry jam and all the different varieties
5. Dans le port d'Amsterdam, y a des marins qui chantent
6. Just to remember you before we fade away
7. The snow is coming down on our New England town
8. She burns like the sun, I can't look away
9. Are you so lonely, you don't even know me
10. But please you must forgive me, I am old but still a child
11. I'm finished making sense, done pleading ignorance

Guess away. (If you dare)

[Current Location |Eindhoven]
[mood | happy]
[music |Oasis - Champagne Supernova]

Okay... here's what happened the last year... only the highlights.

1. The Poembeggars broke up after a few arguments... Very sad, I know.
2. I had a 3 month fling with a girl called Daisy.
3. I finished my first internship at the university of Utrecht
4. I tried starting a new band with Rick. Didn't work...
5. Started writing a kids musical with Maarten. Quite a lot of fun.
6. Found a new band which is just starting up. Gonna be a lot of fun, I'm sure.
7. Most importantly: I have a very sweet girlfriend now. We've been together for 4 months now and this is the first time in 5 or so years that I've been really in love.

That's about it. The highlights and the err... not quite so high lights..

[music |Weird Al Yankovic - Good Old Days]

Now, with a new and improved social life and a rehash of an old meme. The one I loved most. Enjoy!

If your life was a movie, what would the soundtrack be?

So, here's how it works:
1. Open your music library in appropriate media program (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc).
2. Put it on random.
3. Press play.
4. For every question, type the song that's playing.
5. When you go to a new question, press the "next" button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool

Opening Credits: "Erase Replace" - Foo Fighters ((I see... I suppose that's possible))
Waking Up: "Married With Children" - Oasis ((At the start of my life? Not likely))
First day at school: "Hollywood" - Red Hot Chili Peppers ((Suuure... school in hollywood?))
Falling in love: "Grey Will Fade" - Charlotte Hatherley ((Again, not really... it's not even a lovesong!))
Fight song: "It Must Be Summer" - Fountains of Wayne ((Cause we always fight in summer... this doesn't make sense))
Breaking Up: "I Want A New Duck" - Weird Al Yankovic ((LOL! I guess my life's movie is a very absurd comedy))
Prom: "Warm Tape" - Red Hot Chili Peppers ((Warm Tape? I see... Another one that doesn't make sense))
Life is Good: "Undertow" - Ivy ((Oohh.... very foreboding, this one))
Mental Breakdown: "El Scorcho" - Weezer ((Oh yeah.. this one really fits. One of the first that does))
Driving: "See You" - Foo Fighters ((I'm driving to see you? I guess that's possible))
Flashback: "There There" - Radiohead ((Umm... okay... no comment))
Getting Back Together: "Strapped For Cash" - Fountains of Wayne ((No comment again))
Wedding: "Stone Cold Crazy" - Queen ((More foreboding))
Paying the Dues: "The Kids Are Alright" - The Who ((I'm paying the dues, but at least the kids are alright))
The Night Before War: "Girls Just Want To Have Lunch" - Weird Al Yankovic ((They didn't get lunch, so now there's war?))
Final Battle: "Let it go" - Gabriel Rios ((Let what go? My weapon? No way!))
Moment of Triumph: "Korobeiniki" - Ozma ((I see... so I'm russian and my victory theme is an old folk song. Or I just won at tetris))
Death Scene: "Hammering in My Head" - Garbage ((Death from the inside, eh? Painful))
Funeral Song: "Breakout" - Foo Fighters ((Wait! I'm not dead yet! Let me out! rofl))
End Credits: "No One Else" - Piebald ((err.. no comment))

Still no internet... I'm surprised I'm still alive. Didn't think I would last that long without a connection to the outside world. Not much happened the last two weeks. I visited the girl from italian at her place and we decided to be just friends... I can live with that. Mostly cause I found out that day that she smokes.. eww. Anyway, teh internets should be back at my place next thursday. I hope... I guess we'll see then.

[music |Audioslave - Moth]

Today was a good day. Woke up with a bit of a hangover and have been lazy all day as a result. I passed one of my 4 exams, don't know the grades of the other 3 yet, so, so far so good. The situation with the girl is... still complicated, but I sent her one last email asking if I couldn't change her mind somehow. We'll see where that leads, probably nowhere, but the least I can do is try.
As for the music, we didn't have a gig tonight, but it was still a good night, musically speaking, wrote lyrics for 2 songs and music for one of those. Both songs are rather depressing, though. Those are always my best.
Oh, and the cable repair people are gonna come and repair our phoneline next thursday, so hopefully I'll have my internet restored then. I'm getting a bit tired of having to go to school during weeks to check my email.

That's about all that happened this week. Cheers!

Okay, so she said it's not gonna work out. Apparently I'm too desperate, and probably too much of a nice guy. Why the fuck can't I be like most people and move on? Why do I have to be so fucking down after every little setback? I hate myself and my hopeless romantic ways...

Life is... good. It's so good even my mom said I was extraordinarely happy when I came home tonight. I'm all dancy and bouncy and jumpy and... happy! Wanna know why? I bet you do.

Remember the girl from italian class who wouldn't return my emails? Turns out she'd just had a serious operation on her arm and wasn't really in a state to go out. On wednesday I received an email from her, saying she was feeling better and that she'd like to go out sometime. So we agreed to meet this afternoon, and we did. Haven't had this much fun in ages. I'd say there definitely was some sort of spark... I can't wait to hook up with her again, teehee.

As for my exams.. I think I passed two out of three... the third one I probably didn't pass but eh.. I'm happy, not gonna have exams ruin that. Haven't gotten my grades yet, so anything could happen.

That's all the news I have today... woot!

I'm grumpy. Spent most of my night watching tv in the house of our neighbours, watching the kids... well, mostly making sure the house was okay. It made me realize just how fucking lonely I am most of the time. The girl from italian kinda stopped returning my e-mails, so I can probably forget about that.
And that's the two reasons I'm grumpy. Everytime I think things start looking up life cuts off my legs landing me smack bam on my face. Ugh. I hate days like this one.

The Boy Next Door
Random Gentle Love Dreamer (RGLDm)

Kind, yearning, playful, you are The Boy Next Door. You're looking for real Love, a lot like girls do. It might not be manly, but it's sweet.

We think the next three years will be very exciting and fruitful ones for you. Your spontaneous, creative side makes you a charming date, and we think you have a horny side just waiting to shine. Or glisten, rather. You enter new relationships unusually hopeful, and the first moments are especially glorious. If you've had some things not work out before, so what.

Your exact opposite:
The 5-Night Stand

Deliberate Brutal Sex Master
On paper, most girls would name the Boy Next Door as their ideal mate. In the real world, however, you're often passed over for more dangerous or masculine men. You're the typical "nice guy:" without just a touch of cockiness, you're doomed with girls. A shoulder to cry on? Okay, sure. But never a penis to hold.

More than any other type, Boys Next Door evolve as they get older. As we said, many find true love, but some fail miserably in the search. These tarnished few grow up to be The Men Next Door, who are creepy as hell, offering backrubs to kids and what not.


ALWAYS AVOID: The Nymph

CONSIDER: The Maid of Honor, The Peach

[music |OK Go - It's a disaster]

Yup, I'm smart enough to fail. However, I'm not brave enough to ask.

I choked. No wait, I didn't choke, I completely failed to talk to her today. Her friend was around her all the time and I was being a dork as usual. Now, it's not a big disaster or anything, but what does scare me is the fact that this proves that my self-esteem is nowhere near where it should be. Blah. I have cooked up a cunning plan to figure out her email-address though, but that doesn't get me anywhere in terms of self-esteem.

Ugh... I let myself down again.

[music |Fountains Of Wayne - Valley Winter Song]

Waiting waiting waiting... seems that's all that happens in my life right now. Okay I'm bored as hell since rehearsal isn't starting for an hour. Blah...

Today was.. not good, nor bad. I arrived a tad late at school... about 10 minutes... Not a big deal though, I didn't miss anything vital. Not much happened though, as it's now time to prepare for exams. They're about 2 and a half week from now and I wanna be prepared. No way I'm letting myself fail more exams, that's just not an option.

News on the band, well, there's no news yet, as I haven't rehearsed yet... I might have some more news tonight, though. Oh yeah and the photo shoot is close too. I packed my bags full of all sorts of clothes just in case they need me to be prepared. Last time we had a photoshoot I brought only one set of clothes and well... it was odd seeing the others change lots when I couldn't.

And also, naturally, I'm nervous about wednesday. How am I gonna ask her out and how is she gonna respond? Aaaaaah! *runs around in circles screaming*

Okay, I'm calm again. Best focus on the here and now and the upcoming rehearsal.
