Come out Virginia, don't let me wait, you Catholic girls start much too late,

Oh, but sooner or later it comes down to fate, I might as well be the one.

Oh, they showed you a statue, and told you to pray, they built you a temple and locked you away.

Oh, but they never told you the price that you'd pay, the things that you might have done.

Only the good die young, that's what I say.

Only the good die young.

You might've heard that I run with a dangerous crowd, we ain't too pretty, we ain't too proud,

we might be laughing a bit too loud, but that never hurt no one.

So come on Virginia, show me a sign, I'll send you a signal and I'll throw you a line,

the stained glassed curtains you're hiding behind,

never lets in the sun.

darlin' only the good die young, I tell ya only the good die young,

only the good die young.

You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation,

you got a brand new soul,

mmm, and a cross of gold.

But Virginia they didn't give you quite enough information!

You didn't count on me...when you were counting on your rosary.

They say there's a heaven for those who'll wait,

some day it's better but I say it ain't,

I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints,

sinners are much more fun.

Hercules.

Forget you.

I love Gwyneth Paltrow on Glee!

She is absolutely hilarious.

Afghan wars.

Last night in an effort to bring something to my friend's place for dessert, I made Afghans! But I sadly ran out of butter, and didn't have time to buy some... you can't have icing without butter! And Afghans are nothing without icing.

So this morning when I returned from said Friend's place (only took juice, no afghans...), I bought butter, and I iced them!

My oh my, icing is now my favourite food in the world.

MMMM AFGHANS!

How do you get up every morning knowing your loved one isn't there?

How do you smile, knowing that you will never see their face again?

How do you go on?

I do not know how this works. I can't even imagine how hard it would be.

Once again, rest in peace miners.

Books.

So, Sarah Dessen wasn't at the library. YEAH. I know. I was distraught. The other day I went there and like, five of her books were there. Silly teenagers finished their exams, huh?

But instead I got out:

I'm reading the second one now, and it's pretty sad. I'll do an update about it once it's done, but I think it's gonna be the hugest tear-jerker.

RIP guys.

Everything in my life is insignificant compared to the Pike River Miners and their families.

Along for the Ride.

Gonna go rent this out from the libes =) Sarah Dessen may be a young adult author, but I classify myself as a young adult too! I'm not forty, I'm only 21 :)

I love getting lost in her books.

& a plus is that she always has such great guys in it...

le sigh.

Christmas Coffee

So, I made a yum cake that is actually pretty darn delicious! It's so good. I made it on Sunday, but it's still going strong - I've got a friend coming over tomorrow to help me finish it...mmmmm. I know I need to bake more because I love it, but I really don't have enough ingredients and baking stuff...excuses and excuses, right? I will try my best =)

great website right here got my taste buds going: http://foodgawker.com/

and I'm off to work for yet another night...working is good, but sometimes I'd like a night off - for example, trying to sort out plans with a friend who works during the day? very hard. we haven't seen each other in ages!

Ugh!

But I do enjoy my yummy meals I get to eat at work :P

I also enjoyed a nice gingerbread frapaccino from Starbucks last night to treat myself after finishing work early - god I love christmas coffee! Coffee & a Cosmo mag. Felt like Carrie.

shyness.

"Try not to be shy because it can be misinterpreted as snobbish."

Probably my biggest problem.

But I don't want to push it, and seem fake.

The Office

The Office is the best show EVER.

And naaaah, don't say "Pffft, the UK version is way better." It's so annoying because yes, it may be a great show, but I also really love the US version. Like, actually. It's absolutely hilarious. All the characters have such different personalities, such real personalities... like, you can relate to them. There's Meredith with her alcoholicism, Dwight the wannabe, Jim the sarcastic witty guy, Pam the cute receptionist, Creed the weird creeper that doesn't really do much but just say creepy stuff, Stanley, oh Stanley...

Oh, I just laugh so hard at them!

le snow

I wanna go where it snows, and it never stops.

Clark Gable.

I was waiting on a cross-town train in the London underground when it struck me.

That i've been waiting since birth to find a love that would look and sound like a movie.

So I changed my plans, I rented a camera and a van, and then I called you.

"I need you to pretend that we are in love again", and you agreed to.

I want so badly to believe that there is truth and love is real,

and I want life in every word to the extent that it's absurd.

I greased the lens and framed the shot using a friend as my stand-in.

The script it called for rain but it was clear that day so we faked it.

The marker snapped and I yelled "quiet on the set", and then called "action!".

I kissed you in a style Clark Gable would've admired, I thought it classic.

I want so badly to believe that there is truth and love is real.

And I want life in every word to the extent that it's absurd.

I know you're wise beyond your years, but do you ever get the feeling,

that your perfect verse is just a lie you tell yourself to help you get by?

you're beautiful.

I got my fringe cut today! I feel gooooooood.

I have pepsi to drink and it's aaaaaaaall mine. yum.

I'm going to visit my sister, her baby, her husband, and my mum next weekend. It'll be wonderful.

I'm not as worried as I was before. Some people make me feel unnecessarily worried (man I suck at spelling unnecessary...had to spell check it twice), but I think I just have to try rid them from my everyday life...maybe not permanently, but perhaps just by distancing myself ...

Maybe.

My Jim.

I feel like I'm waiting out for Jim. Waiting out for my Jim, shall I say...

I don't think he's too far away. Maybe we'll meet in an office, like Pam's Jim. Maybe my publishing office when I'm an editor. Maybe we'll meet in a coffee shop one day. Or we'll accidently whack into each other down Lambton Quay. or skiing in Canada. Or going down the canal in Venice.

Who freaking knows.

But I think I will...Pam met her Jim at like, what, late twenties?

I'm only 21.

He'll come along.

i'm mega excited.

hate.

I hate:

• when people pronounce 's's really well because i can't.
• when you go to talk to someone on facebook and it turns out they're now offline.
• when people stare at you.
• when a really hot guy comes in with glasses on and it's obvious he has a girlfriend. dammit.
• when your internet stops working.
• when you bake something and it doesn't turn out good.
• writing a CV.
• applying for jobs. it makes me feel so inadequate.
• having to do things when you'd rather just stay in bed all day.
