Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute just sit down and chill
I'll tell you how I became the princess of a town called Silent Hill
In West Silent Hill, Born and raised
On Hell's playground is where I spent most of my days
Chillin out maxin relaxin all cool
Just shootin some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of cultists who were up to no good
Started making demons in my neighborhood
They summoned one little god and my dad got scared
He said "We're moving to Portland, there's no evil fog there"
I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said RAPE and I saw Pyramid Head in the mirror
If anything I could say this cab was rare
But I thought "Naw, forget it, I think I'll walk there"

Do not stab me with your spears
Do not embody my fears
It's my fault my wife is dead
I do not like you, Pyramid Head!
I do not like your metal mask
I do not like your grisly task
I do not like your bloodstained skirt
I do not like your world of hurt
I do not like your Great Knife's scrape
I do not like your Mannequin rape
It's still my fault my wife is dead
I do not like you, Pyramid Head
Do not embody my fears
It's my fault my wife is dead
I do not like you, Pyramid Head!

Huh... Well, that's interesting. Apparently a girl I've known for a while has a crush on me. Unfortunately, it's not a girl I'm interested in. I didn't want to just flat-out say no, I'm not interested, for two reasons. First is, like they always say, you never know what could happen. Second... well, honestly, the conversation where she told me was painfully reminiscent of a conversation I had a few years ago, where I was the one admitting a crush. But I'm afraid now that I didn't make it quite clear enough, because she's sending me text messages constantly. I have no idea what to do in this situation, it's completely new to me. I guess I'll figure something out as usual.
I always thought my movie
would be a comedy
not quite the tragedy that its become
more slapstick than chickflick
more Caddyshack than Breakfast At Tiffany's
So, thank me at the podium for a lifetime of contribution
turn on the cameras
someone cue the extras
hair and makeup to the set
because the big screen's callin
final casting call
its your big shot baby your the next big star
of another stupid movie 'bout a guy with a broken heart
who's fallin apart
your headed for the cutting room floor
and in the sequel honey i'm the guy who gets the girl
so if you miss my movie
get the DVD
check out the chemistry
between you and me
less Raising Arizona
more Steel Magnolias
so when you walk down that red carpet
I hope you trip and fall
I hope someone squirts you with a watergun
a super soaker filled with pee
because the big screen's callin
final casting call
its your big shot baby your the next big star
of another stupid movie about a guy with a broken heart
who's fallin apart
your headed for the cutting room floor
and in the sequel honey i'm the guy who gets the girl
all apologies
to Kevin Costner and that chick from Monster
give me Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell, Belushi and even Val Kilmer
he was funny in 'Real Genius'
~Greg~
What about 'Top Gun'?
~Jaret~
No, 'Top Gun' wasn't funny
~Greg~
Whatever
top secret was funny too
But he sucked as Batman
because the big screen's callin
final casting call
of another stupid movie about a guy with a broken heart

This time
I'll be sailing
No more bailing boats for me
I'll be out there on the sea
Just my confidence and me
And I'll be awful sometimes
Weakened to my knees
But I'll learn to get by
On little victories
This time, I'll have no fear
I'll be standing strong and tall
Turn my back towards them all
And I'll be awful sometimes
Weakened to my knees
And I'll learn to get by
On little victories
And if the world decides to catch up with me
It's a little victory
I'll be sailing
No more bailing boats for me
I'll be out there on the sea
Just my confidence and me
And I'll be awful sometimes
Weakened to my knees
But I'll learn to get by
On little victories
This time, I'll have no fear
I'll be standing strong and tall
Turn my back towards them all
And I'll be awful sometimes
Weakened to my knees
And I'll learn to get by
On little victories
And if the world decides to catch up with me
It's a little victory
Well, it's late at night.
There's nobody around.
Just the sounds of the cars
Upon the asphalt ground.
It's the waiting time,
When the hours grow still.
I gaze on through the glass
Inside my windowsill.
Though I know that you must be
Somewhere in this world,
In this place where, at birth,
You and I were both hurled,
To think that we once were relating
Is a thing that has almost grown foreign to me.
It's a bad sight,
Such a terrible waste,
To spend your time talking
In such bad taste.
It's the same old line,
Though it's not you I blame.
It's your teachers and television
That you put to shame.
The night's lasting longer
Because I've filled my head
With the things I could have done
And the words I could have said.
But, in truth, I was only spectating
And that's a permanent part of reality.
So many rude lines,
So many petty crimes
And you don't feel a need
To apologize.
Tonight is the time
That you stick in my mind,
But from now on I won't become
Vandalized.
Now the room's started filling
With the dawn's early light
And the end has arrived
Of this long night.
I turn off the television
And I hit the bed
While your shade is still haunting
My ever-vulnerable head.
And there's no use
In trying to compromise
When the kindest things we say
Are when we tell each other lies
But it's time I should quit my complaining
And behave with a little more dignity.

Hmmm. I don't know. The first thing that comes to mind is playing Warhammer 40k in the hotel at a robotics tournament. We had the figures, but no dice or rulers, both of which we needed to play. We wound up improvising a ruler by cleverly folding 8 1/2 by 11 sheets of paper and approximating dice with coin flips. The lengths we nerds will go to for our games, huh?
Augh. I am feeling really ADD right now. No matter what I do, everything I try gets boring in like 5 minutes. I can't focus on anything at all.
Even this LJ post. I just switched over to reading a webcomic for a few minutes between the last line and this one. I think maybe TV could hold my interest, but Alex and Greg are using one and Adam's using the other. :/
Right, skipped away again. Really, really need to focus on something.
People aren't posting enough on NPF, so I have nothing to read there. Is boring. Needs to stop being boring.
Facebook is also being boring. Everything is boring.
Bored!

Oh, right... I have a Livejournal...
Yeah...
So, babbling about my life. Sounds good. Ummm... Is the end of first semester. I have three papers and three exams, and then I'm done until January. I plan to spend much time with Katie, 'cause she is amazing and I don't get to see her anywhere even close to near enough. Also with people I haven't seen since school started, because really, that shouldn't happen.
Hmmm... other things to talk about... I've got nothing, really. Oh, well. Will have a creative writing course next semester, maybe I'll post my stuff from that. Also any other stuff I write. I have a vague idea of a Harry Potter fanfic set in a period approximately nowish. So if I ever get to work on that, I'll put it here. Other than that, I've got nothing to say. Be back when I do.

Yeah. I'm not quite sure what I'll do with it yet. Probably put my writing up, when I finally get around to doing some more of that. I often used my MySpace blog to whine obliquely about my lack of girlfriend, but I don't have that problem any more, so I probably won't update much. Whatever. I'll stop now, and be back when I actually have something to talk about.
