I have zillions. You should see my bag/any of my notebooks/my arms/legs/shoes. It's bordering on ridiculous.

I love:

"Are you caught up in an arguement?/ Or are you so lost in modern art?" - Against Me! "Don't Lose Touch"

"I wanna wake up where you are." - The Goo Goo Dolls, "Slide". Simple. Beauty.

"And if you swear that there's no truth, and no one cares... how come you say it like you're right?" -Bright Eyes, "We Are Here And It Is Now"

"If you're gonna play with fire then expect to lose some games/most of all I fear this fall will land me in the flames/and if it does, I'll wonder, was it all for nothing then?/But if I had never tried... how could I try again?" - Joey Eppard

"This is the story of a roller coaster child/in the city, living where there once was wild..." - 3, "One Way Town"

Sick with lack of basis

Believe Me"

I've been alright. Meh. I'll be better in about seven days. Aka, when school FINALLY lets out. XD

More : )

I wanna see through all the lies of society
To the reality, happiness is at stake
I wanna hold up my head with dignity
Proud of a life where to give means more than to take
I wan't to live beyond the modern mentality
Where paper is all that you're really taught to create
Do you remember the forgotten America?
Justice, equality, freedom to every race?
Just need to get past all the lies and hypocrisy
Make up and hair to the truth behind every face
That look around to all the people you see,
How many of them are happy and free?
- Willy Mason, "Oxygen"

There's a light at each end of this tunnel, you shout
cause you're just as far in as you'll ever be out...

And he hasn't got a house
I don't know why

But he's a good mouse

felt like the Berlin Wall
And there was no doubt about which side I was on..."

When everything is lonely I can be my own best friend
I'll get a coffee and the paper, have my own conversations
with the sidewalk and the pigeons and my window reflection
The mask I polish in the evening by the morning looks like shit
-Bright Eyes, "Lua"

Oh yeah, I'll tell you something
I think you'll understand
When I'll say that something
I wanna hold your hand
- The Beatles, "I Want To Hold Your Hand" (they basically nailed it in one song.)

A man walks down the street
It's a street in a strange world
Maybe it's the Third World
Maybe it's his first time around
He doesn't speak the language
He holds no currency
He is a foreign man
He is surrounded by the sound
The sound
Cattle in the marketplace
Scatterlings and orphanages
He looks around, around
He sees angels in the architecture
Spinning in infinity
He says Amen! and Hallelujah!

If you'll be my bodyguard
I can be your long lost pal
I can call you Betty
And Betty when you call me
You can call me Al
Call me Al
-Paul Simon, "You Can Call Me Al" (= my childhood)

Been mainlining bad thoughts
Been drinking things I wish I'd not
Intoxicated with sad songs
Who will forgive you when I'm gone?
-The Wallflowers "Here He Comes (Confessions of a Drunken Marionette)"

This is the way you left me.
I'm not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory...
No happy ending.
This is the way that we love;
Like it's forever.
Then live the rest of our lives...
But not together.
- Mika "Happy Ending"

Ahh. More. Later. : )

with my queasy smile?
Am I too dirty, am I too flirty

Without making me try?"

And we disappeared into the groove"
