Give Me the Meltdown - Rob Thomas

Feelin’ worn down like a piece of glass
Doesn’t take too much to get yourself to feed your monkey
Tell some white lies
Make and swallow them
You don’t see just how you got into this situation

(Refrain)
Late at night, late at night
You weep for something better than the secrets you keep me down
Just lay down, here, close to me
And tell me what you want from me

(Chorus)
And I said
Hey now, give me the meltdown
Take it out on me this time around
Oh no, it ain’t over now
I can feel the world spin around, around, around
Hey now, give me the meltdown
Take it out on me, don’t let me down
Oh no, it ain’t over now
I can feel the world spin around, around, around

Wide awake now and your monkey’s dead
You so perfect that you never really need nobody
Put your hands down
You’re among your friends
You just take and take and take and take and take and take and

(Refrain)
Late at night, late at night
You weep but you’re no better than the secrets you keep stay down
Just lay down, here, close to me
Pretend you’ll never leave me

(Chorus)
And I said
Hey now, give me the meltdown
Take it out on me this time around
Oh no, it ain’t over now
I can feel the world spin around, around, around
Hey now, give me the meltdown
Take it out on me, don’t let me down
Oh no, it ain’t over now
I can feel the world spin around, around, around

(Chorus)
Tell me what you want child
Give me the meltdown
Take it out on me this time around
Oh no, it ain’t over now
I can feel the world spin around, around, around
Hey now, give me the meltdown
Take it out on me, don’t let me down
Oh no, it ain’t over now
I can feel the world spin around, around, around

Let’s hope there’s an after

So I had to go back to the doctors because my glucose tolerance test was a bit high.

Just FYI http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucose_tolerance_test. Although I hadn’t been fasting and it was only just above the level so I’m not worried.  Have to have another one done, where I do fast, have a sugary drink, wait 2 hours, get tested again.  Fun!

On slightly cheerier news the diet seems to be going okay – lost around 4 pounds in a week!

So I thought it would be a super idea to do an before picture

It’s all happening now

So lots n lots to catch up on.

Firstly – getting my room done.  More importantly getting a new bed, which I desperately need.   The down side is that I’ve had to clear all my stuff out :( .  Including taking the posters off the wall, which makes my room seems echo-y.  However here is a before picture (although I possibly should’ve taken it before I cleared everything)

You may find yourself with some between photos :) .

 In other news – went to see the doctor about getting some help losing weight and now I’m on something called Xenical.  Haven’t eaten any sweets since Monday (yeah yeah big deal) and I’ve been out walking for 30 mins for nearly every day (cept Thursday although I did a bit) and yesterday (because it was raining but seeing as how cleared out most of my books n wot not and carried them up to the attic, I figured I was covered).  Supposed to go back in 4-weeks to see how I’m getting on but they took some blood and sent me out a letter asking me to make a “non urgent” appointment to talk about it.  I’m hoping it’s just standard.

I’m just wondering if it’s about my cholesterol.  Now last time I had it taken it was quite low (3.9 I think) and these tablets work by stopping your body from absorbing 30% of your intake of fat (and yes there was some seepage – sandwiches with marie rose sauce are NOT recommended).  So if I had low cholesterol, wouldn’t it suggest that my fat intake isn’t that high?  I guess I’ll find out tomorrow.  The hardest thing is keeping it all secret from my mum.  Don’t ask me why I want it to be. I don’t know.  I know that I feel really guilty that I can’t seem to diet without just doing it but bleh.  We’ll see.

Oh and here is a screenshot of my new(ish) WoW character Layton with her cat Casper

Todays big question

Should I be worried that there’s such a thing as emo porn?

Bloodsuckers

So as I was saying I read the Twilight series. I think I might have to read it again at some point but slower, although I still think that book 2 was just a bit too angsty

Moved onto the Southern Vampire book series which the tv series True Blood (back in June hurrah!) is based on. Loved it. Really really loved it. Read all 8 books in the space of 3 days. The next one isn’t out until may in the US (June in the UK) so I’ve ordered the hardback off Amazon.com and paid for business deliver (because the priority delivery was worth more than the actual book).

I’m really hoping Sookie gets back with Vampire Bill and that he doesn’t die.

April 12th, 2009

It’s all gone a bit emo

Angsty emo at that.

I hope they don’t make the sequel to Twilight, most of the movie will be all about how depressed she is.

I’d totally do the guy who plays Edward Cullen though (as long as he wasn’t made of marble and is legal – ooh nearly 23 excellent :) )

Oh no! They are making it :(

If there’s a rocket tie me to it - Snow Patrol

Two weeks late like a surplus reprieve
I found a hair the length of yours on my sleeve
I wound it round and round my finger so tight
It turned to purple and a pulse formed inside

And I knew the beat since it matched your own beat
I still remember it from our chest to chest and feet to feet
The easy silence then was a sweet relief to this hush
Of ovens, aeroplanes and distant car horns

A fire a fire, you can only take what you can carry
A pulse your pulse, it’s the only thing I can remember
I break you don’t, I was always set to self destruct though
The fire the fire, it cracks and barks like primal music

I said I knew the beat ‘cause it matched your own beat
It’s become my engine my own source of heat
The sea between us only amplifies the sound waves
Every hum and echo and crash paints my cave.

Ah fuck no

Fucking fecking fracking fuck

Breakdown - Seether

The sun is gone and the flowers rot
Words are spaces between us
And I should’ve been drown in the rivers I’ve found of token lost
And I should’ve been down when you made me insecure
So break me down if it makes you feel right
And hate me now if it keeps you alright
You can break me down if it takes all your might
‘cause I’m so much more than meets the eye

And I’m the one you can never trust
‘cause wounds are ways to reveal us
And yeah I could have tried and devoted my life to both of us
But what a waste of my time when the world we have is yours

So break me down if it makes you feel right
And hate me now if it keeps you alright
You can break me down if it takes all your might
‘cause I’m so much more than all your lies

Hate me, break me down
So break me down
So break me down
So break me down if it makes you feel right
And hate me now if it keeps you alright
You can break me down if it takes all your might
‘cause I’m so much more than meets the eye

Nothingness

Mental! Mental! Mental! Dead! Is how work is at the mo. So as you can guess this is one of the dead periods.. (Well several dead periods since this is apparently a work in progress)

Unfortunately I can’t think of a damn thing to say :( . Brother is getting married. I have emphatically stated that I don’t want to be a bridesmaid but I’ll still have to dress up. So I have to think of something to wear and I refuse absolutely point blank to wear a skirt or a dress, but I have no idea of what kind of outfit I should really wear.

It’d also be kind of cool if I could lose some weight so that I had some actual choice. I had planned to star t walking again but it was stormy at the weekend and raining last night. Just keep getting those excuses Last night again, pissing it down. Then of course tonight is quiz night so my WoW playing time is limited anyway. Going to try anyway (unless it’s raining again).

Speaking of WoW managed to reach the dizzy heights of level 80. I shall have to get a more up to date picture. Changed my hair :) it’s now short n green! I’m just busy doing achievements at the minute. I still have one more zone to complete in Wrath of the Lich King, but really what’s the rush? I mean I’m not going to be the first by any means. Just good stuff for selling, who needs crappy, evil, should be shot, gold sellers? I only wish that Dalaran weren’t quite so laggy for me. Rather annoying :( .

So far not rainy. Typical. Fecking typical

Fangs

There have been an awful lot of vampire centric tv shows. Buffy & Angel, Moonlight, Blood Ties possibly more (I’ll check it out later). So I originally decided not to watch True Blood, however I recently caved and started obtaining them through the magic of t’interwebs. Very glad I did. It’s by the guy who did Six Feet Under and if you’re a mediumly offended person it’s really not for you. Lots of sex, nudity, swearing and a little bit of violence. So if you like that sort of thing the show is for you. Well it’s not so much the liking as the fact that I really do appreciate having tv shows that aren’t aimed at the widest possible age range audience. (Wohoo yes go have a meeting so I don’t have to pretend I’m doing something.)

Also Bill the vampire is sexy. Apparently the show is quite faithful to the books although mixed reviews on one of my forum threads talking about the show so I again used the magic of t’interwebs to obtain copies which I can read on my fucking kick ass ebook reader. Which I love btw

Just not that keen on the cover. Might try and get a black one instead. It’s a browny colour. Of course I’d love a purple one but they don’t seem to do that. You’d think that’d be something that they’d have a lot of choice in but hey-ho – I’ll keep checking ebay. I’ve also decided to cancel my long standing Mills & Boon Historical Novel delivery. Might as well just download them as ebooks. Save so much space and probably money.

Xmas is rapidly approaching not doing too bad. Gone halfers with my mum for a bunch of prezzies and I just need to get my mum and my dad which of course are the most awkward.

Christ people talk bullshit sometimes. Completely making crap up as they go along. Hah irony!

I’ve only started work and already I’m bored bored bored. At least I’m on the phones so I don’t really have to look like I’m doing work.

Hah started that last Thursday and didn’t get finished. Although in all fairness I was off on Friday and Monday. Happy Birthday to meeeeee!

Hopefully I shall have got Wrath of the Lich King by the time this gets posted. Have to wait until 16.30 as they may need phone cover :( but I plan to be packed and ready to jump up come 4.30. should have gone this morning but it was raining and I couldn’t be bothered! Ahh hindsight and all that.

Of course there will be probably be one big ass download when I do get it.

Oh well tick tock time to pack up

(and I did get it ;) )
