RAWR! I'mma Panda!
28 March 2008 @ 09:08 pm
So I'm sitting here in the living room of Al's flat. She's been in bed for a few hours now, and I don't want to wake her up. Things are just starting to return to something resembling "normal", and I don't want to fuck up her patterns either. I know I've been sucking like hell with this thing... I just keep forgetting about it. It always happens with sites like this. I used to have a Xanga an eon ago, and I actually used that one a bit. Dunno what happened to it. Or what the name even was... I made another one I have to work on. Maybe I'll do good with it again.

They say getting married changes people. One look at me and people'd probably believe it. But the thing is... It's not me, nor is it Alice. We're still same. It's just, other circumstances. I really don't want to get into the details of what happened, because most people already know. I do have this strange need to just type. So I'mma try something. 

I've got iTunes open, and my entire music collection is on shuffle. I'm just gonna let it guide me and type out whatever comes to my head. Maybe it'll help with all the stuff that's just been going through my brain. Who knows?

Hah, "My Town" by Buck-O-Nine just came on. This is a really great song, for just all around good feelings. It has a charm to it that just raises my spirits. It's got this fast fun sound. Which reminds me- I need to download some PsychoBilly songs.

I think I might start writing more PsychoBilly songs. I love how the songs are just so fast and out there. I've played "Heading To The Disco" by The HorrorPops more than 5 times today. We're gonna be needing a bassist before long...

My mind is doing this dull buzzing thing. It wants to get all its thoughts out and in order, but it just can't. There's like this fog hanging over me. I wanna talk to people, but 90% of the time I just lose focus and the conversation drifts off. That can't be a good thing. I mean, it's a lot better than it was right after the wedding, but it's still there. 

At any giving point I can go from depressed, to happy, to pissed off, to God-Knows-What-Else. It drains the hell outta me. It makes me wish there was an off switch to my mind- one I could flip anytime I needed to.

I don't really know anymore. I just got hit heavilly with a good dose of drowsy. I think I'mma throw in the towel for today. Crawling into bed and cuddling up to Alice sounds like the most amazing thing in the world right now.

Out.

I can't believe how things have happened so fast. I mean, one minute I was cleaning dust out of my turntables and the next I'm talking to pretty much the most amaing person I've ever met. I've never clicked with someone like this before. I never thought I'd ever meet someone who went through all the shit I did back when I was younger. And moreover, that she'd like me! It all just blows me away. I can't wait to talk to her again, even though we just stopped talking not so long ago. I'm so hyper right now, it's not even funny. I can't wait until we get to Paris now. Somebody freaking pinch me. WAIT. Don't. If it's a dream I sure as hell don't wanna wake up.

Keep it up. 
I've learned from my mistake.
I can attack too.
I ain't running no more.




I'm nothing, I'm nothing
Got here, and now I'm gone
So many days fly by
You haunt me the times I shut my eyes
Choke softly from the poetry
It doesn't sound as true
When you still wear her scent

I never thought you would've
thrown something back,
ripping apart my heart.
(I see you only at night)

Won't look back,
Wretched night.

I pray for peace of mind
I beg for a brand new life
I plead for a second chance
And the ability to shut my eyes at night

I pray for peace of mind
I beg for a brand new life
I plead for a second chance
And the ability to shut my eyes at night

Angels die and memories fade
I'll live to see, the day that you break

I never thought you would've
thrown something back,
ripping apart my heart.
I see you only at night.

My heart fades
My heart fades

A true friend stabs you in the front
A true friend stabs you in the front
A true friend stabs you in the front
A true friend stabs you in the fuck off

I pray for peace of mind
I beg for a brand new life
I pray for a second chance
And the strength
To burn this mother fucker down

People always saying bringing a dog into your life brightens things up.

I never thought that was true.

Shows just how smart I am, right?


My darling little Pencey.
I gots my own Bowie dog. ^__^

Things are chugging right along now. I'm feeling better now I've got my little zoo, and we're going to be starting up tour soon. That's gonna be fun. I've never been on a true tour. Semiotic Love only ever had a few dates somewhat close together. This is all going to be so new.
Atleast it's going to be with friends.
OH! And Day of the Dead's tomorrow! That's gonna be fun and stress relieving. Nothing better than blasting the undead. Pencey's gonna come along for that so everyone can meet him. I know they'll all love him. He's got a bit of a Napoleon Complex though. Except when it comes to Ziggy. He just scares the shit out of that puppy. XD
Then it's back to London (Hopefully with some zombie parts in tow... Could really use the money.) and a show on the 28th. Then another on the 31st. Then we gotta get our asses off to Helsinki for the next day. This is gonna be FUN. ^__^
Only a few more hours now and then I'll be in LA.
Hallelujah, LOCK AND LOAD!

So here's the new addition to our little family. 


Miss Annabel Lee.

She's a doll. Lil snuggle bug. I'm happy Frankie and Zig like her. I have a feeling Zig might like her a lil too much, though. I have to keep my eye on him...

-Ziggy- My new baby. I found him alone in a little corner of a Hostel.
