I took a bite out of a mountain range, thought my teeth would break the mountain down.
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

Okay so, as promised an entertainment update!

Films

Seen lots of films lately. However special mention to the X Files – I want to believe. I have to admit to being a little disappointed with it. With the stem cell research plot I kept feeling like I was being sold a political line, and I’m already pro stem cell research. It also seemed a bit odd that the church led hospital apparently had no problem with stem cells. Just a bit too angsty for my liking!

Really really enjoyed Get Smart and Hell Boy. Particularly in Hell Boy where they actually mentioned Northern Ireland, go there (well perhaps not really but pretend to) and then have a Northern Irish character. Course it was a Spanish director, who probably has a bit more respect than your usual “just get someone to put on a shitty accent” American director.

Books

Currently reading Inkheart by Cornelia Funke which is the sequel to Inkspell and part of trilogy. They are books for kids, but really enjoyable. Also they’re translated from German. It’s basically about a girl who can read herself or people out of stories but it’s centred around the story in one particular book. A fairly original idea I think. There were rumours of a movie but I haven’t heard anything.

I finally managed to finish the TNG “A time to….” Series. Which is set just prior to Nemesis. So anything I read after that will be post Nemesis. They will probably write stuff pre Nemesis but I never feel inclined to read books that are set further back in the time line. I want the story to be moving forward.

I’ve also started with Star Wars again. So read the first in a post New Jedi Order, well I think it’s a trilogy (the Dark Nest) but the story continues into the next series. It’s not going to work out well for the Solo family L . SW is my next book actually!

Music

Well in all honesty I haven’t bought any albums recently. Couple of individual songs that I like but no new albums coming out unfortunately. Well not that I know of. Hmm perhaps I should do a quickie shufty on Amazon. Nope, nothing, nada. Although there was one which was bought by people who bought lifehouse and matchbox twenty which I might have a listen to.

Work is a bit slow at the mo. Ooh I’m a poet and I didn’t know it. I also have a bit of deja vu, I’ll have to check to see if I said this before.Poor little blog is so used and abused, Ignored for months and then I only write something because I’m bored at work .

I’m a wee bit bored so as I’m half watching the olympics online so I can’t play Warcraft, I’ve read all my forums and I can’t be bothered with yahoo answers at the moment.

We (GB & NI) did really rather well, to put it in context it’s our best games since 1908 I believe.

The mother is wanting to go to the 2012 olympics and I was looking up info about it, you have to enter a ballot for tickets apparently all seems rather complicated!

Step out the front door like a ghost
Into the fog where no one notices
The contrast of white on white.
And in between the moon and you
The angels get a better view
Of the crumbling difference between wrong and right.

I walk in the air between the rain
Through myself and back again
Where? I don’t know

Maria says she’s dying
Through the door I hear her crying
Why? I don’t know

Round here we always stand up straight
Round here something radiates

Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand
She said she’d like to meet a boy who looks like Elvis
And she walks along the edge of where the ocean meets the land
Just like she’s walking on a wire in the circus
She parks her car outside of my house
Takes her clothes off
Says she’s close to understanding Jesus
She knows she’s more than just a little misunderstood
She has trouble acting normal when she’s nervous

Round here we’re carving out our names
Round here we all look the same
Round here we talk just like lions
But we sacrifice like lambs
Round here she’s slipping through my hands

Sleeping children better run like the wind
out of the lightning dream
Mama’s little baby better get herself in
out of the lightning

She says “it’s only in my head”
She says “Shhh I know it’s only in my head”

But the girl on the car in the parking lot
Says “Man you should try to take a shot
Can’t you see my walls are crumbling?”
Then she looks up at the building
Says she’s thinking of jumping
She says she’s tired of life
She must be tired of something

Round here she’s always on my mind
Round here hey man got lots of time
Round here we’re never sent to bed early
and nobody makes us wait
Round here we stay up very, very, very, very late

I can’t see nothing.. nothing round here
Will you catch if I’m falling
Will you catch me if I’m falling
Will you catch me cause I’m falling down on you

I said I’m under the gun around here
I’m innocent I’m under the gun around here
And I can’t see nothing
Nothing round here

You have lost me to Warcraft I am afraid

Names Liillee, I’m a night elf warrior on the Darkmoon Faire server (EU)

You’ve been talking for an hour,
and I swear to God that I can’t hear a word you say
So would you come to me, come to me
I get caught up and the waves of conversation they wash over me
And they cover me, they cover me

Well all is nothing in moderation
Dirty feeling, strange sensation
I believe, I believe
Believe I’m tired

No really…in 3 working days

Find out how much of a geek you are by listing all of the books you own on

Librarything

No really there was – crawling along the page.  I freaked out and now it’s lost in my bed somewhere

So the ones in the box with a cross through it I have already ready.  I’m working my way from the bottom to the top and the bottom row is 2 deep. So I have about 20 to read!

I have decided to make a concerted effort to get through all the Star Trek/Star Wars books I have.  I keep putting it off until I’ve finished with the less geeky ones, but i have come to the conclusion that, that will just never happen.  So.  Just do it!

So…I haven’t received my nice new phone – in fact it seems (according to the website the order was complete).  So I phoned the helpline thinking it’ll be a case of “it’s on it’s way”.

But nooooooooo apparently the £15 tariff I’m signed up to isn’t the one with the free phone – WTF?!  I clicked on the link beside the phone?!

So anyway the contract I have is just a one month thing, which i can cancel at the end of the month and take the other £15 which does have the free phone (and unlimited texts which is even better).  Basically I have wasted fucking money I don’t have.

Oh yes and now I’m having trouble getting my numbers from one sim to another.  Feeling fairly frustrated here

Right so my current mobile phone contract is nearly up and I was offered an upgrade thingie

Well really I wanted to change my tariff for a lower one.

I’m with o2 but I normally deal with the Carphonewarehouse.  The carphonewarehouse didn’t have a phone i liked OR a cheaper tariff (as far as I could see on their website)

However i know that o2 do do one.  So went to their website…..found it and with the phone I wanted.  Got a new sim today

So I phoned to check if I could keep my same number  – my number isn’t on the 02 system (because it was done through the CPW apparently).  So I had to phone them.  Apparently I can’t port a number from the same provider…WTF?!

Ironically my new tariff is called simplicity

Well – kind of.

Off for a couple of days as I have so much damned flexi time at work!

So decided to get my hair trimmed/cut whatever and clear out the clothes I no longer/never wear as it’s hard to get space in my chest of drawers anymore.

 So – four black binbags worth.  Fortunately the local supermarket has a clothes recycling bin and I can chuck them in there.

I’m also debating clearing out the bottom of my wardrobe as well – it’s basically shite. 

My problem is that I have short legs and a long back (with big boobs).  So unless I try it on in the store I envitably buy jeans that are too long (since I need at most 29”) or shirts that are too short.  Also I don’t like wearing things that leave the tops of my arms bear because A) I have fat arms and B) my tattoos are on display.  Which I don’t mind but my parents wouldn’t appreciate. Unfortunately elbow length does not seem to be in fashion at the mo

So the moral of the story is try shit on before you buy it

Nothing even vaguely interesting is happening right now – seriously…..

Although I am off work Monday & Tuesday – hurrah does a dance

 remember it well
The first time that I saw
Your head around the door
‘Cause mine stopped working

I wanna hear what you have to say about me
Hear if you’re gonna live without me
I wanna hear what you want
I remember december
And I wanna hear what you have to say about me
Hear if you’re gonna live without me
I wanna hear what you want
What the hell do you want?

Well the dress sense anyway

The only thing I regret is the baldness.  I wish I had gone for hair.
