Mountains

Took a bite out of a mountain range,
Thought my teeth would break the mountain did.
Lets go, I want to go all the way to the horizon.

I took a drink out of the ocean and,
I’m treading water there before I drown.
Lets dive, I want to dive to the bottom of the ocean.
I took a ride, I took a ride, I wouldn’t go there without you.
Lets take a ride, we’ll take a ride. I wouldn’t leave here without you.

I am a mountain, I am the sea, you can’t take that away from me.
I am a mountain, I am the sea, you can’t take that away from me.

‘Cause you tear us apart, with all the things you don’t like.
You can’t understand that I won’t leave ’til we’re finished here, and then you’ll find out where it all went wrong.

I wrote a note to the jungle and it wrote me back that I was never crowned king of the jungle, so there’s and end to my horizon.
I took a ride, I took a ride. I wouldn’t go there without you.
Lets take a ride, we’ll take a ride. I wouldn’t leave here without you.

I am a mountain, I am the sea, you can’t take that away from me.
I am a mountain, I am the sea.

‘Cause you tear us apart, with all the things you don’t like.
You can’t understand that I won’t leave ’til we’re finished here, and then you’ll find out where it all went wrong.

Nothing lasts forever, except you and me. (You are my mountain, you are my sea)
Love will last forever, between you and me. (You are my mountain, you are my sea)

I am a mountain, I am the sea, you can’t take that away from me.
I am a mountain, I am the sea.
I am a mountain, I am the sea

I have actually fallen in love with Biffy Clyro.
Can’t wait to see them in May!!!

dear mr. snow…

Please do NOT come here tomorrow. I am far too busy and important to be dealing with you right now.

Hahaha. Well I tried :P

Not much to write at the moment. Last week was relatively uneventful, this week so far has been pretty manic (work wise). So much to do, so little time. I met up with Audra on Saturday and went to see Did You Hear About The Morgans? It was really good! So awesome to see Hugh Grant on screen again :) and SJP was great as ever. Other than that I spent the entire weekend doing college work. Ugh.

NOW… firstly, pic of the day:

Riddarholmen, Stockholm

And secondly:

Song of the moment: Many of Horror by Biffy Clyro. I *heart* this song!
Currently Loving: Biffy.
Currently Loathing: Being bored. I really need to get outta here!
Currently Wishing: That the Delays show in Dublin DIDN’T clash with Kent in Stockholm.
Looking forward to: Seeing FeverSeason on Friday night in Southampton. Guest List FTW :P

Carousel

she takes you in and it wears you out
didn’t want to fall in love at all
somehow it just wears you out
and after a day like this
after a kiss like this
you can never go home
never come home
you can never go home
never come home

Carousel >> © per gessle – jimmy fun music – 26 july 2005

Firstly, Happy 51st Birthday Mr Gessle! Kinda fitting that one of his songs matches my mood today of all days. Well not my mood, but the way things are right now. Except the other way round. If that makes any sense at all. Hahaha! cryptic or what eh :P
SO… the whole procrastinater calendar is not going so well hahah! lack of time, inspiration… whatever. I have a few scanned here but no desire to upload them. Maybe pic of the day would be better?! or song of the day. Anyways…
Today at work we had *another* Christmas party. Well it was more a New Year party by now LOL! I helped Barbara cook up an amazingly delicious feast and we all took time out from our uber-busy days to chill out, have some champagne, eat nice food and enjoy each other’s company. I really love the fact that I actually love my colleagues. I miss work when I’m not there hahah! Being home for the entire Christmas holiday made me realise how much of an escape work has been for me these last 7 months. It’s nice to be back, busy and excited about what the year is gonna bring!

OK, so… back to something I started on here aaaages ago (but of course never carried on…) -

Song of the moment:
You Got It by Roy Orbison [love love love it!]
Currently Loving: Being back at work. Seriously!
Currently Loathing: The aftermath of Snow Day. It’s pretty for like 24hrs, and then it’s just shit.
Currently Wishing: Delays would announce some bloody tour dates already!
Looking forward to: Stockholm in February to see Kent. I’m looking forward to loads more than this, but that’ll do for now!

Paulerspury

I made it in to work today! The village I work in is absolutely gorgeous when it snows, so I had to take a picture! This is the view from my office window at The Hunt House…

Beautiful Ayr

Well, snow day has hit Milton Keynes! and as I don’t have a scanner at home anymore you’ll have to wait another day or so for the calendar page.
SO…I finally got around to putting a few pix online from our trip to Ayr last May!

Ailsa Craig - the little island I was named after!

“you’ve been in my dreams all my life”

Babe, come in from the cold
and put that coat to rest
Step inside
take a deep breath
and do what you do best

Yea, kick off them shoes
and leave those city streets
I do believe love came our way
and fate did arrange for us to meet

I love when you do that hocus pocus to me.
The way that you touch
you’ve got the power to heal
You give me that look
it’s almost unreal
it’s almost unreal.

Hey, we can’t stop the rain
let’s find a place by the fire
Sometimes I feel
strange as it seems
you’ve been in my dreams all my life

I love when you do that hocus pocus to me
The way that you touch
you’ve got the power to heal
You give me that look
it’s almost unreal
it’s almost unreal

It’s a crazy world out there
Let’s hope our prayers are in good hands tonight

When Ailsa met Marie...

YESSS!!! I finally met Marie Fredriksson in Rotterdam! Something I could never imagine would take place… A moment in time I will never forget. She was beautiful in every way possible. She hugged me and I told her how much it meant to me to meet her after all these years. She is one very special woman…

I have sooo much I wanna write not only about last week in NL with my amazing Dutch/Danish/German friends, but also about the Delays tour last month! I’ll get around to it sometime, I promise!

you never forget your first love…

Its almost 11 years since I went to my first concert. Some things you never forget. I’ll never forget not wanting to be there. I’ll never forget being horribly embarrassed by my mother and aunt’s dancing. But what I will truely never forget is that feeling of, OMG… they are amazing. I didn’t want them to leave the stage. Knowing I’d probably never see them again. I know a lot of people who’ll laugh when I name the band… but I don’t really care. They ignited something in me that has slowly but surely shaped my entire life. That band is………. The BeeGees.
Not everyone’s idea of a life-changing band, I know. But for me they are so much more than falsettos and big 70s hair. Their music is the soundtrack to so many people’s lives. I’m no good with words, so I won’t even attempt to write down what they mean to me. Here’s a video from the One Night Only DVD… one of my absolute favourite songs of theirs…

SO… here they are 11 years later. There’s only Robin and Barry now, and although Maurice’s side of the stage has that stark emptiness like Richey’s side on the Manics stage, it is great to see Robin and Barry performing together again. Something I never thought would happen.

Flower Power & Action!

Yesterday I went to VW Action at Santa Pod - a really cool VW owners/enthusiasts festival. Dad and I wandered round, he showed me what a Karmann Ghia looks like, we saw some really gorgeous old Beetles and Campers and we watched them drag race down the quarter-mile there. We even saw some people get married there at the start of the drag strip! hah! Also spoke to the lady who is organising the LeJog run next April. I got an information pack and some sponsorship forms too. After that we wandered around some more and picked up some stickers for Miss Helga’s little make-over! Here are the results:
