Coincidence?


Today I had an epiphany of sorts. I have a disproportional (disproportionate?) amount of purple items in my life. Perhaps it was the purple sweater I wore today, but it hit me like a monsoon of bricks. (Rough analogy, I know. Deal with it.)

As of approximately 11:53 this morning, I had a purple:

-Notebook on my desk
-binder in my backpack
-pencil in my hand
-cell phone (it is violently purple - - COOL)
-sweater on
-blow drier
-hair straightener
-hair clips
-hair spray


Okay. So, I guess it's not that much. But who else can say their blow drier, straightener, hairspray, AND clip things are all purple? The perfect way to start off your day. That's what I always say. 

Just putting it out there...

Moving up in the blogging world.



Just wanted you all to know that I have done something that I hope will prove to be a nice release of stress/resentment, and be therapeutic for me. I started a dream journal. Cheesy? Absolutely. Healthy for me? Hopefully. Entertaining for you? That is the goal.

If you think I am weird, perhaps this will explain why. Or perhaps it is my weirdness that MAKES my dreams the way they are.

Anyway, there's a pretty boring one up now, but be ye not depressed, I have a good one coming up next. It is horrifying.

Brilliant Lyrics #1


In and out of space - I'm always somewhere in between.

Try to make amends, but instead I make a mess of things, for me.

I try to paint by numbers, but nothing's black and white to me!

Don't make me out to be this helpless child of misery. 

Maybe love is what I need - but not your sympathy.

-Mika, "Your Sympathy"


I love this! The music is good too, but the lyrics win. Don't think that I'm depressed or anything, cause I'm not. Just wanted to share this beautiful, brilliant prose. 

This song is one of a few demos that got leaked to the public and (almost instantly) taken advantage of by me. Yes. I'm a horrible fan, but I LOVE them. This new stuff seems much more blatantly autobiographical than Life in Cartoon Motion - which is already very self-expressive. These new songs are a little more edgy (but still fairly camp) and raw. Could be because they're just preliminary studio demo cuts, not finalized. Either way, I love them and am grateful for his impressively deep insights.
