Getaway


If I could ride this slide into forever
What would I give to getaway
That pain that stayed
Seemed like forever

Where does the good go?


its love that leaves and breaks the seal of always thinking
you would be real happy and healthy strong and calm
...where does the good go?

Mad Season

I've been changin' - I think it's funny how no one knows
We don't talk about the little things that we do without
When that whole mad season comes around...

Rain King


Why am I so alone? I can't go outside
I'm scared I might not make it home
I'm alive, I'm alive but I'm sinking in
[...]
Hey, I only want the same as anyone
Henderson is waiting for the sun
Oh, it seems night endlessly begins and ends
After all the dreaming I come home again...

Elizabeth Bennet


"This is not fair. You wish to think all the world respectable, and
are hurt if I speak ill of anybody. I only want to think you perfect,
and you set yourself against it. Do not be afraid of my running into any excess,
of my encroaching on your privilege of universal good-will. You need
not. There are few people whom I really love, and still fewer of whom I
think well. The more I see of the world, the more am I dissatisfied with
it; and every day confirms my belief of the inconsistency of all human
characters, and of the little dependence that can be placed on the appearance of
merit or sense." (Ch. 24) Pride & Prejudice

Elinor


I've trying to make portraits just in ink, with no previous pencil/charcoal sketch work.
So far this one took 20 mins with a fine & ultra fine sharpie.

Inspired by Elinor from Sense & Sensibility...

Barely Breathing


Duncan Sheik - Barely Breathing

Have you ever started doodling non-stop through a whole song? Well I did. And in this case even though the pic doesn't have the best quality you get an idea of my ranting...it includes the whole lyrics from Duncan Sheik's - Barely Breathing

I should scan my drawings mmm... I remembered the Friends episode where Phoebe said after she finished her song in Central Perk:

"If you want to receive e-mails about my upcoming shows, then please give me money so I can buy a computer"


...so in this case it would be, if you want me to scan my drawings, please donate so I can buy a scanner! haha....

Sentimental Heart

When you got a sentimental heart
Piece of the puzzle
And you're a missing part
What can you do with a sentimental heart?

This one is for the rainy days...



Spring came, rain fell
we ended up nowhere

S Club 8 - Spring came, rain fell

My playlist would have to include:

  • Travis - Why does it always rain on me?
  • S Club 8 - Spring Came, Rain Fell
  • Prince - Purple Rain
  • Guns & Roses - November rain
  • Radiohead - High and Dry

Too much Jane Austen for me?

...nah...perhaps its just 'cause I watched the 2005 version of Pride & Prejudice & read Sense & Sensibility for a couple of hours...yeah, that must be it :P haha...

I am Elizabeth Bennet!


Take the Quiz here!


You are Elizabeth Bennet of Pride & Prejudice! You are intelligent, witty, and tremendously attractive. You have a good head on your shoulders, and oftentimes find yourself the lone beacon of reason in a sea of ridiculousness. You take great pleasure in many things. You are proficient in nearly all of them, though you will never own it. Lest you seem too perfect, you have a tendency toward prejudgement that serves you very ill indeed.

Who do you see looking back?


Take a look at yourself in a mirror who do you see looking back?
Is it the person you want to be?
Or is there someone else you were meant to be the
person you were meant to be but fell short of?
Is someone telling you you can’t or won’t? Because you can.
Believe that love is out there.
Believe that dreams come true every day. Because they do.
Sometimes happiness doesn’t come from money or fame or power.
Sometimes happiness comes from good friends
and family and the quiet nobility of leading a good life.
Believe that dreams come true every day. Because they do.
So take a look in that mirror and remind yourself to be happy
because you deserve to be. Believe that.
And believe that dreams come true every day. Because they do.

Let go...



close and far
the details magnified
we lost sight of the bigger picture

happy sad
sometimes good things happen to us
disguising themselves as bad

remember the best
forgive and forget the rest

Sign on the window says "Lonely,"
Sign on the door said "No Company Allowed,"
Sign on the street says "Y' Don't Own Me,"

A Comet Appears



The boy saw the comet and he felt as though his life had meaning. And when it went away, he waited his entire life for it to come back to him. It was more than just a comet because of what it brought to his life: direction, beauty, meaning.
There are many who couldn’t understand, and sometimes he walked among them. But even in his darkest hours, he knew in his heart that someday it would return to him, and his world would be whole again… And his belief in God and love and art would be re-awakened in his heart.

One Tree Hill

Last night I saw the season finale from One Tree Hill's season 6. Yet, one of my favorite quotes (meaning the one you can read above this) comes from the episode Hundred.

Ps. The title is from a song by The Shins - A Comet Appears
