twenty years it's breaking you down
the name is vanessa but everybody calls me van. estranged ex-NJCanoeist of 2004/05 K2-500m. I'm a WSO (FIGHTER) trainee and I'm doing my BA(Hons) English and Politics in the University of York. I like fast cars, literature, art and tulips. I cannot cook. When I was younger I wanted to be an astronaut. I am hopeless at math or anything remotely related to formulae. I detest parsley. I love the colour burgundy. My Macbook is my bestfriend and I've played with Macs since I was 15 so no, I didn't jump on the bandwagon. I have lofty dreams but I'm often afraid to chase them. I don't get angry I get disappointed. I intend to learn Spanish and German. Oh, and I think Liverpool kicksmajorass - I am not a fair-weathered fan. I think ambiguity is beautiful.

Lyrics by: The Fray
domingo, mayo 07, 2006
Whoopeedoo. I'm on a roll here. Sundays are usually spent shopping in town and watching SOME PEOPLE spend $475 on GStar jackets, but today's different cos aforementioned person is doing fire and movement now. As a result, I'm mooching around at home, trying unsuccessfully to finetune my personal statement amidst bowls of Viennetta ice cream topped with generous amounts of Bailey's irish cream. Chocolate - sweet, heavenly, invaluable huh? *big grin

I see your face with every punch I take,
and every bone I break, it's all for you.
And my worst pains are words I cannot say,
still I will always fight on for you.

Yeah and I'm googling lyrics again. Nice way to spend a Sunday huh? Especially since I woke up late and MISSED Goh Chok Tong at our carpark. Haha, pretty lyrics totally compensate that.

And everything I have in this world
And all that I'll ever be
It could all fall down around me
Just as long as I have you right here by me

I can't take another day without you
'Cause, baby, I could never make it on my own
I've been waiting so long just to hold you
And to be back in your arms where I belong
I'm sorry I can't always find the words to say
But everything I've ever known gets swept away
Inside of your love

Funny how mercurial I can be. Yesterday was like, bowls of bitchflakes, but today I'm just feeling dizzy and ridiculously euphoric for reason unbeknownst to anyone, not even myself. Maybe it's the thought that there are only TWO MORE WEEKS left in OCS. Two weeks till I get my senior bar! But after that I'll have to start preparing for the last interview board, which my confidence in is dipping dangerously to the negatives. Nevertheless, it's all rainbows, chocolate fountains and sunny beaches to me now. I feel on top of the wooorrrrlllllddddd. (sings).

so let me get this straight
say now you loved me all along?
what made you hesitate
to tell me with words what you really feel?
i can see it in your eyes you mean all of what you say
i remember so long ago see I felt the same way
now we both have separate lives and lovers (and lovers)
insignificantly enough we both have significant others

only time will tell
time will turn and tell

we are who we were when
could've been lovers but at least you're still my day late friend
we are who, we are who we were when
who knew what we know now
could've been more but at least you're still my day late friend
we are who,we are who we were when

But thoughts they change and times they rearrange
i don't know who you are anymore

love's come and go and this i know
i'm not who you recall anymore

but i must confess you're so much more then i remember
can't help but entertain these thoughts
thoughts of us together

Day Late Friend, by Anberlin. I love Anberlin.
I thought you said forever
Over and over
When sleepless night becomes bitter oblivion

These thoughts run through my head
Over and over
Complaints of violins become my only friends

(Paperthin Hymn)

Ah, this is magic. :) Literature and music doing the tango always have this lulling effect. Despite the fact that I SOMEHOW have a sudden runny nose and I'm using tissues by the tonne, nothing seems to dampen my spirits. I'll stay happy, promise! For the time being at least..
