white blank page

so mumford and sons have a song called 'white blank page' and it is just a wonderful song about writing. i love how he writes about writing as if it was a woman. so here are the lyrics to the song.

Can you lie next to her
And give her your heart, your heart
As well as your body
And can you lie next to her
And confess your love, your love
As well as your folly
And can you kneel before the king
And say I'm clean, I'm clean

But tell me now, where was my fault
In loving you with my whole heart
But tell me now, where was my fault
In loving you with my whole heart

A white blank page and a swelling rage, rage
You did not think when you sent me to the brink, the brink
You desired my attention but denied my affections, my affections

But tell me now, where was my fault
In loving you with my whole heart
But tell me now, where was my fault
In loving you with my whole heart

Lead me to the truth and I will follow you with my whole life
Lead me to the truth and I will follow you with my whole life

hey you - pink floyd

Hey you, out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old
Can you feel me?
Hey you, standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles
Can you feel me?
Hey you, dont help them to bury the light
Don't give in without a fight.

Hey you, out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone
Would you touch me?
Hey you, with you ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out
Would you touch me?
Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?
Open your heart, I'm coming home.

But it was only fantasy.
The wall was too high,
As you can see.
No matter how he tried,
He could not break free.
And the worms ate into his brain.

Hey you, standing in the road
always doing what you're told,
Can you help me?
Hey you, out there beyond the wall,
Breaking bottles in the hall,
Can you help me?
Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall.

awesome lyrics!

so i was doing my daily reading of my blogs and geek girl diva posted about this geeky song and so i had to go and read the lyrics. i'll admit i didn't listen to the song but the lyrics are amazing! it's so geeky and awesome i just had to share with everyone about it. it's written by adam fromm and here are the lyrics:

88 Lines About 44 Fangirls

Dana thought she lived on Dune
She called her crystal meth "melange"
Fran was stuck in Middle Earth
Built hobbit holes in her garage

Wanda craved a Highlander
For her, there could be only one
Jane the Trekkie beamed me up
And kept her cleavage set to stun

---

Anna only loved the Doctor
Four and Nine and Five and Ten
Elizabeth was user-friendly
Plaything of the Midwest fen

Mary-Catherine wrapped me up
Like Katamari Damacy
Marcy needed better stats
Charisma: 20, Wisdom: 3

---

Colleen was from a comic book
Her spandex bursting at the seams
Belinda dressed up all in brass
Fulfilled my Princess Leia dreams

Connie turned me on to Sandman
Death had never looked so fine
Gretchen was a vampire slay'r
Showed me her stake, I showed her mine

---

Jessie hitchhiked down from space
I told her, "Thanks for all the fish"
Hannah cosplayed Princess Bride
All I could say was, "As you wish"

Cheryl donned a schoolgirl skirt
And begged me for my tentacle
Kim was like Excalibur
Forever swinging, never dull

---

Ellen told me she was Batgirl
Turned out she was only bats
Tanya was a wonder woman
Lassoed me in nothing flat

Lana let me in her Stargate
Sent me 'cross the galaxy
Victoria was an X-Files freak
The truth was out there; so was she

---

Elaine watched too much Battlestar
She had a thing for one-eyed men
Peggy slipped her fishnets on
We did the Time Warp once again

Cindy had the cell phone number
THX-1138
Gwen looked like Hermione
She always made me levitate

---

Andrea could LARP 'til dawn
She played her part with verve and glee
Pat had Firefly on the brain
In her, I found serenity

Sammi had a Warcraft habit
Left when I ran out of cash
Prue already had a boyfriend
Put my name behind the slash

---

Allie loved her Magic cards
Red mana was her favorite drug
Vera was a cyberpunk
The doctor helped her get debugged

Quinn read manga night and day
She had me turning Japanese
Joanna played a slave of Gor
She had the cuffs, I had the keys

---

Chris stood like a monolith
I met her in 2001
Tricia lived for Matrix flicks
We very nearly jumped the gun

Laura's dates were like Sin City
Always ended with a bang
Lucy dug Anita Blake
She wouldn't fuck without the fangs

---

Val collected Darkover
She got an MZB tattoo
Kate was horny for Lestat
We skipped right past the interview

Susie liked Vallejo art
She dressed in chain mail lingerie
Morgan was a furry girl
I hollered, "Fetch!" and ran away

---

Gail read Spider Robinson
Thought every bar was Callahan's
Marjorie wrote filk by day
At night, made me her biggest fan

Paula searched for Narnia
We did it on the closet floor
But Nellie's saner than the rest
That's why she's Fangirl 44

muse quotables

so this friday i will get to see my favorite band muse(!) in concert. i'm totally excited and can't wait! so i thought i would have a special quotables and share quotes from the band. since all the songs are by muse i'm just going to write what song the lyric comes from.  so here they are:

- "I’ll be there as soon as I can
But I’m busy mending broken
Pieces of the life I had before" - unintended

- "I’m crawling away
'Cause you broke my heart in two" - falling down
 
- "And I don’t want you to adore me
Don’t want you to ignore me
When it pleases you" - muscle museum

- "And I've wanted you too much
And now I'm gonna lose
I've wanted you too much
And now I've gotta choose" - nature_1

- "Everything about you is so easy to love" - bliss

- "I believed that you'd always be here
'cause once you promised a life with no fear" - shine

- "Hopelessly I'll love you endlessly
Hopelessly I'll give you everything
But I won't give you up
I won't let you down
And I won't leave you falling" - endlessly

- "I wanted freedom
Bound and restricted
I tried to give you up
But I'm addicted" - time is running out

- "Look through a faithless eye
Are you afraid to die?" - thoughts of a dying atheist

- "Come ride with me
Through the veins of history
I'll show you a god who falls asleep on the job" - knights of cydonia

- "How can we win, when fools can be kings?" - knights of cydonia

- "Death
You bring death
And destruction to all that you touch" - take a bow

Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die" - starlight

- "Mon Cœur S'ouvre à Ta Voix" - i belong to you

- "I can't find the words to say
They're overdue
I've traveled half the world to say
"I belong to you"" - i belong to you

- "I want to exorcise the demons from your past" - undisclosed desires

- "It could be wrong, could be wrong, but it should've been right" - resistance

and even more books!

first of all i thought i would share a song my brother created the day i was born. "molly rose was born, she just woke up on a molly morn." and my brother says that was the start of his song writing career (hehe). the reason i share that is because today is my 24th birthday.

in other news, i have gotten 4 more books from barnes&noble.com. i got:
dragons of the dwarven depths by margaret weis and tracy hickman
the riddle-master series by patricia a mckillip
the annotated legends by margaret weis and tracy hickman
the poets companion: a guide to the pleasures of writing poetry by kim addonizio and dorianne laux.
i'm very excited about the poets companion book. i love dorianne laux work! she is an amazing poet and i'm excited to see what she has to say about writing poetry. i'm also excited about the annotated legends book for it's a series i've already read, but in the margines, the authors have written notes on how they got the ideas for didn't parts of the story. i always love to see how people get their ideas.

a little bit of this, a little bit of that

well i've fully come to realize that i won't make the contest for the end of this month. sigh, but these things happen. i'm still going to be working on my manuscript, for i think it is important for me to finish. i'll have a great sense of accomplishment and it will be nice to have a finished "book" under my belt. i put book in quotes for it's just a manuscript, but i would love for it to be a book.

i've written another poem. it has a person looking back on a relationship and seeing how things matched and how things went wrong. again if you want to read it i'll email it to you, just shoot me a message.

this past sunday i went and saw the phantom of the opera, which is my all time favorite musical out there! i just love it and know it by heart. so it was amazing to finally see it in the flesh. i wasn't let down! it inspired me to want to write more songs. i've written one before for my ex's band article. they named the song 'so sorry' i don't know if they still play it. i'm sure they don't. but the song was different poetry i wrote put all together and then i added a little bit more so the song would be more coherant. the only problem with me writing a song, is that i'm not in a band, so i would have to get someone else's band to take my lyrics and put it to music. well thankfully i know a bunch of bands. so i'm sure i can get someone to take it. well as a parting gift, here's the song i wrote called so sorry:

"just put it to your lips and have another drink
it won't drown your fears but you think it will
fine ruin your life
just have another drink
late night out
someone else's perfume on you
hair a mess when i haven't touched you
who is this girl you cheat on me with?
what does she have that i don't have?
we say sorry
no one means it
don't say it
just keep on blaming me for everything everyone it's ok
your fist meets her face
bruises all over her body
you say she needs discipline
you say she's broken the rules
you say it's not your fault she needs to be punished
we say sorry
no one means it
don't say it
justt keep on blaming me for everything everyone it's ok"
