Dysfunctional Dreamer

Moving Around...Round...Round....

It's always strange when summer comes around again. Last year, I only stayed for a small part of summer, but this year, I am preparing myself for the full-blown experience. I think the beginning of it always will seem strange to me, with friends going home to their countries, around europe, and I'm still stuck here. Last week, I said goodbye to Luisa, yesterday, it was Jens, and today, went out with Anna for our 'last' lunch to our usual cafe, just an hour before she flies back to Germany. We'll all be together again in September, and sooner for Luisa, as I am possibly making my way down to Portugal for the Avante Festival on the 2nd-5th September.

It just feels like everytime this happens, there is always a transition- people I know moving out of halls of residence, into a new home, nice house, living together... I'm kind of glad that I went through it all last year, and it's not going to happen in my current house,..well...except for Jon, whom we all want to kick out of the house for his excessive abusive language,mess,noise and drug intake. He's a nice guy, but we just couldn't live with him(He's a walking disaster area...trust me!). Anyways, he's left for a holiday to Turkey since yesterday, so we're all more or less happy for the peace and quiet around the house, the cleanliness and not having to worry if the house will fall apart anytime soon.
Honestly, we need another girl to move in instead...but since the contract only ends in August...well, it's a long wait(or feels like it).

How do you get rid of annoying people in general?

This song is for my portugeezer friends, and for me, with specific meaning..(well, used to, anyway).Now we can finally sing to it properly! Lovely track. (:

She's Losing It- Belle & Sebastian

Lisa knows a girl who’s been abused
It changed her philosophy in ’82
She’s always looking for a fight
She keeps the neighbours up all night

I go to her when I’m feeling slack
The girl’s using me as a punching bag
I think that I could help her out
But the girl’s got a lot to be mad about

And in the first moment of her waking up
She knows she’s losing it, yeah she’s losing it
When the first cup of coffee tastes like washing up
She knows she’s losing it, yeah she’s losing
Yeah she’s losing it

Lisa met chelsea at the knocking school
Chelsea didn’t feel like following the rules
So they left the place for another school
Where the boys go with boys and the girls with girls

Chelsea was the girl who’s been abused
It changed her philosophy in ’82
She says, inch for inch and pound for pound
Who needs boys when there’s lisa round? >

And in the first moment of her waking up
She knows she’s losing it, yeah she’s losing it
When the first cup of coffee tastes like washing up
She knows she’s losing it, yeah she’s losing it
She goes to the mirror to put on her stuff
She knows she’s losing it, oh yeah she’s losing it
When she doesn’t speak to anyone till four 0’ clock
She knows she’s losing it, yeah she’s losing it
Oh yeah she’s losing it

O Tangerine, O Aubergine, O Vanilla...

Suffering from a state of madness, my dear carrot-top friend, decided to change her name to Tangerine. Me thinks this is a big Neutrogena moment for all. Me is the small dark one, hence Aubergine, and Goncalo chose to be the Vanilla pods, long and curly. Haha... We are actually enjoying this.

But the other day, at the supermarket, Lui spotted the smaller types of oranges called Satsuma. Says it suits me better for it is also asian sounding. At least we're in the same orange family now. Heee heeee......

Anyway, Luisa is 'launching' a 'brand' for the merchandise that she will be making to take to this market stall in Portugal to sell. Who would have known, it's going to be called 'Tangerine- Designs By A Fruit.' (:

Meanwhile, I have been currently busy trying to finish up all my production for my exhibition this coming Thursday. Somehow, I am seeing the benefits of being part of the 'hyacinth bouquet'(as Lui calls the committee...), but the downside is definately getting tired of dealing with idiots from my class.
*sigh* Enjoy the poster below.(We're actually quite proud of it.) Wow, my first proper exibition in a gallery!!!

Cry For Help

I am so sick and tired of this. I am so sick and tired of the weather, after being blessed with a week of warm sunshine, it's gone to being bleak,cold and shite again. I am so sick and tired of myself, sick and tired of feeling like shite.

But then again, you walked past me on Saturday and we met in the middle, we talked and you held my hand. And yesterday, you held me so close I couldn't breathe. Parts of ourselves are broken, but slowly, we shall mend them.
But mended things never get put back together the same way again.
Or do they?

Travis would never sound the same again,not without you.

All of the king's horses and all of the king's men.
Couldn't pull my heart back together again.
All of the physicians and mathematicians too.
Failed to stop my heart from breaking in two.
'Cos all I need is you, I just need you.
Yeah you got the glue so I'm gonna give my heart to you.

I had a premonition, a movie in my mind,
comfirming my suspicions of what I would find.
It followed me to L.A., down to Mexico,
came in through the back of the door at the start of the show.
Still all I need is you, I just need you.
Yeah you got the glue so I'm gonna give my heart to you.

Oh was a perfect day.
Oh in a perfect way, you know,
something had to go,
you left me high, you left me low.
Now as I lie in pieces, and wait for your return,
the sun upon my forehead it burns baby burns baby burns.
An eye on all my horses, you've slept with all my men.
I'm never gonna get it together again.
Still all I need is you, I just need you.
Yeah you got the glue, so I'm gonna give my heart to you.
Yeah you got the glue and there's nothing I can do.
Yeah you got the glue so I'm gonna give my heart to you

The Humpty Dumpty Love Song- Travis
