Why are Scottish (and British) men so amazing?

So in love with this music video.

In My Veins – Andrew Belle

Nothing goes as planned,
Everything will break.
People say goodbye.
In their own special way.

All that you rely on,
And all that you can fake
Will leave you in the morning,
Will find you in the day.

Oh, you’re in my veins,
And I cannot get you out.
Oh, you’re all I taste
At night inside of my mouth.
Oh, you run away,
Cause I am not what you found.
Oh, you’re in my veins,
And I cannot get you out.

Everything will change,
Nothing stays the same,
Nobody is perfect,
Oh, but everyone’s to blame.

All that you rely on,
And all that you can save
Will leave you in the morning,
Will find you in the day.

Oh, you’re in my veins,
And I cannot get you out.
Oh, you’re all I taste
At night inside of my mouth.
Oh, you run away,
Cause I am not what you found.
Oh, you’re in my veins,
And I cannot get you out.

No, I cannot get you out
No, I cannot get you
Oh no, I cannot get you out,
No, I cannot get you…

Everything is dark,
It’s more than you can take
But you catch a glimpse of sunlight,
Shining, shining down on your face.

Oh, you’re in my veins,
And I cannot get you out.
Oh, you’re all I taste
At night inside of my mouth.
Oh, you run away,
Cause I am not what you found.
Oh, you’re in my veins,
And I cannot get you out.

No, I cannot get you out (you’re in my veins)
No, I cannot get you out.
Oh no, I cannot get you…

Passive – A Perfect Circle

“Dead as dead can be,” my doctor tells me
But I just can’t believe him, never the optimistic one
I’m sure of your ability to become my perfect enemy
Wake up and face me, don’t play dead cause maybe
Someday I will walk away and say, “You disappoint me,”
Maybe you’re better off this way

Leaning over you here, cold and catatonic
I catch a brief reflection of what you could and might have been
It’s your right and your ability
To become…my perfect enemy…

Wake up (why can’t you) and face me (come one now),
Don’t play dead (don’t play dead)
Cause maybe (because maybe)
Someday I’ll (someday I’ll) walk away and say, “You disappoint me,”
Maybe you’re better off this way

Maybe you’re better off this way
Maybe you’re better off this way
Maybe you’re better off this way
You’re better of this; you’re better off this;
Maybe you’re better off!

Wake up (can’t you) and face me (come on now),
Don’t play dead (don’t play dead)
Cause maybe (because maybe)
Someday I’ll (someday I’ll) walk away and say, “You fucking disappoint me!”
Maybe you’re better off this way

Go ahead and play dead
I know that you can hear this
Go ahead and play dead
Why can’t you turn and face me?
Why can’t you turn and face me?
Why can’t you turn and face me?
Why can’t you turn and face me?
You fucking disappoint me!

Passive aggressive bullshit

I’m deleting EVERYTHING off of my mp3 player and only leaving A Perfect Circle.
Burned over 500 calories at the gym today and saw a man who looked exactly like Light Yagami.
Really bizarre because I posted this Death Note video before going.
I would’ve done unspeakable things to that man.

I don’t give a flying fuck.

Hair got caught in the sunlight, darling
But I just wasted the day
I knew it would happen this way
Can’t get up in the morning lately
And I’m just stuck in a dream
I’m always the ship in the stream
I’m not wasting away and you don’t want me anymore
You’re free to do what you want, I know
But I can’t be on the clock
I won’t be waiting on the dock

I’ve been feeling a lot like this song lately. I should pick up my acoustic guitar, sing the lyrics and learn this song. As soon as I head back home after a long, boring, and uneventful day, I’ll curl up with my pillow and listen to this song while I fall asleep.

Now that I finally feel alone, I don’t want to be that way anymore. I’m not sure what I want anymore.

Angel Eyes – Sting

Have you ever had the feeling
That the world’s gone and left you behind
Have you ever had the feeling
That you’re that close to losing your mind

You look around each corner
Hoping that she’s there
You try to play it cool perhaps
Pretend that you don’t care

But it doesn’t do a bit of good
You got to seek till you find
Or you’ll never unwind

Try to think
That love is not around
Still it’s uncomfortably near

My old heart
Ain’t gaining no ground
Because my angel eyes ain’t here

Angel eyes
That old devil sent
They glow unbearably bright
Need I say
That my love’s misspent
Misspent with angel eyes tonight

So drink up all you people
Order anything you see
Have fun you happy people
The drink and the laugh’s on me

Pardon me
But I gotta run
The fact’s uncomfortably clear
Gotta find
Who’s now number one
And why my angel eyes ain’t here
Tell me why my angel eyes ain’t here
Excusez moi my angel eyes ain’t here
Excuse me while I disappear

I don’t understand why on earth I’m so interested in learning more about Nicolas Cage and the Coppola family. Normally, I’m extremely tired of doing homework or preparing for class when I’m at the library. I have to spend 5 hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays here so doing schoolwork puts me to sleep. But I ended up watching his interview with James Lipton on Inside the Actors Studio while going off and looking up trailers or information on the movies he’s done. Now I really want to watch Leaving Las Vegas and Raising Arizona. People always go on and on about how terrible of an actor he can be…which is true. But he does have his shining moments and I am on a mission to watch those movies. It’s interesting because both Francis Ford Coppola and Nicolas Cage have had their amazing breathroughs and terrible pitfalls. Just goes to show they’re human beings.

On a side note, I haven’t listened to Sting in a while and Leaving Las vegas is giving me a compelling reason to do so again soon because it’s apparently in the very beginning of the movie. I’ve always had a soft spot for beautiful jazz/blues/lounge type music. Now that I think about it, once I get a stable career going, I want to find a dimly lit and smokey bar near my future workplace and drop by once at the end of every week. I’d order a nice Long Island Iced Tea in a nice, chilled highball glass and drink it whilst listening to the jazz/lounge music there. I’d do this every week of my life until the day I’d die so I’d become something of an enigma. After every visit, I’d always leave a paper crane beside my empty glass along with my bartender’s tip. Never to be seen again until the following week.

Why Do You Let Me Stay Here? – She & Him

Why do you let me stay here
All by myself?

Why don’t you come and play here?
I’m just sitting on the shelf

Why don’t you sit right down and stay a while?
We like the same things and I like your style

It’s not a secret
Why do you keep it?
I’m just sitting on the shelf

I’ve got to get your presence
Let’s make it known
I think you’re just so pleasant
I would like you for my own

Why don’t you sit right down and make me smile?
You make me feel like I am just a child

Why do you edit?
Just give me credit
I’m just sitting on the shelf

Doo doo doo doo . . .

It’d be amazing if real life was anything like this.

In The Sun – She & Him

It’s hard to be ignored
When I look at you
You look so bored
My baby, my darling
I’ve been taking a beating

Well all right
(Well all right)
It’s ok
(It’s ok)
We all get the slip sometimes every day
I’ll just keep it to myself
In the sun
In the sun

It’s hard to take the blame
When I look at you, you’re so ashamed
My baby, my darling
I’ve been thinking of leaving

Well all right
(Well all right)
It’s ok
(It’s ok)
We all get the slip sometimes every day
I’ll just keep it to myself
In the sun
In the sun

Well all right
(Well all right)
It’s ok
(It’s ok)
We all feel ashamed sometimes every day
I’ll just keep it to myself
In the sun
In the sun

It’s been something of a Zooey Deschanel month this April. I’ve been listening to quite a bit of She & Him and watched (500) Days of Summer not too long ago. Yes Man with her and Jim Carrey was also playing at the gym the other day and I had the fortune of watching it again.

- x -

This perfectly describes my internal struggles and views on love.
Part of me is like NPH and believes that love and romance always gets crushed by reality.
The other part of me is like JGL and wants to be head over heels in love while wanting to sing She & Him songs in a musical.
(I also love that I was actually at this hitRECord Fall Formal.

So it turns out it’ll most likely rain tonight until early tomorrow morning.

Weather, you make me very sad.

Cage Rage Marathon Weekend, here I fucking come.

Yikes. I remember spending hundreds of hours, completely addicted to World of Warcraft. No other MMORPG or game has ever drawn me away from it for the last 5 or so years. But after playing Star Wars: The Old Republic, I think I’ve honestly been brought up to a whole new level of MMORPGs. I tried Mists of Pandaria while secretly hoping it would draw me away from SWTOR and bring me back to the abode of my five level 85 geared characters and other alts.

But it didn’t. Instead, Mists of Pandaria greatly disappointed me and I had to instantly turn it off because it didn’t feel right. It was completely off and more things aggravated me than actually captivate me as they used to. What I felt was the compulsion to log off, and not even in a rested zone, and run to Torian Cadera and Blizz at SWTOR. It’s bizarre though because World of Warcraft never stopped my intrigue and continually had me grind up all my characters to the maximum level while also obtaining the best gear possible. I couldn’t have a single moment to breathe. I was always playing the game and much of my life fell apart because I became addicted to it.

Yet when I play SWTOR, it’s something of a healthy observance. Sometimes I do want to play and sometimes I just don’t. I don’t care about hitting level 50 as much as I normally would. Instead, I’m playing different characters and I can have them interact with npcs and the storyline with my mood. For example, my bounty hunter Quaintrelle is completely on the light side while married to Torian Cadera and is a wanted criminal by the Republic. Then there’s my sith inquistor Quiescence who’s on the absolute dark side and is finding her way through all the deceit and lies.

I think the impossible happened. Something’s broken my obsession for World of Warcraft and has completely destroyed it. D:

On a side note, I really wish my right ankle would stop hurting. I feel like I must’ve struck a nerve at my Achilles’ heel and it’s been difficult to walk without a slight limp since a few weeks/months ago. Walking from the library to my classes always feels like a slight pain. I hope the pain will go away.

Also really looking forward to the rain we’ll be getting on Wednesday and Thursday. I’m always the happiest with a beautiful song and the rain.
