*huggles Izy* Well done!

And thanks, Kat. It's all right. I'll get over it. Lol, it's not like he's missing my wedding! xD

[Ivy Tunstall]

Are you feeling better? Lucy was off ill today too.

[Olivia Dawson S6]

Gah! You were sick today too, Viv? There must be something about today. There were so many people out sick today. I was out as well, for a stomach virus. Still not feeling much better.

..wow it's been so long since I've ranted here.

[Celia Richmond]

I'M GOING TO SEE KEANE!!! WOOOOOOO!
Admittedly not until January 31st, but still, I'm really excited now .

Just thought I'd let you all know . I just hope the site I got the tickets from (as Ticketmaser wasn't letting me through) is as reputable as the guy I'm going with says. And before anyone gets any ideas, like most people I've told have, I'm NOT going OUT with him. Even my own mother asked whether we were going as "just friends" or if it was a "date" :S. But then again I have a feeling she just wants me to get a boyfriend .

Not much else to report, not heard from any other unis yet (though I'm gonna check my e-mail now). And I have a couple of bits of homework to do for tomorrow (plus magazine article, sorry Viv), so I should probably get offline. Though some of the work I need the computer for (ie maths coursework).

And I hope you're feeling better now Viv, and whoever else is ill .

[Riley Coxen G7]

that's awesome Celia! I honestly don't know who that is, but that's probably cuz I'm only half awake right now. Or maybe I just seriously have no clue who that is.

But it's so weird..it's like eleven thirty here and I just woke up.

I dunno what happened. It was like seven and I was sitting on my bed on my computer typing up a post and then....I woke up and it was eleven thirty. I don't even remember falling asleep. I think I might have even dreamnt I was at my computer while I was asleep. Weird, huh? I'm so tired I think I'll have to use spell checker to make sure I didn't mispell every other word I wrote. For all I know I could just be writing jibberish right now. I'm going back to sleep now, but I just thought I'd share that with you all before I did.

Can you guys tell how freaking delusional I am right now?

[Aurora Chan]

This is for Kia, but I thought I'd share it with everyone too. I really should make my charries' music playlists! But anyway, this song is one of Ostuka Ai's (Aurora's avatar person) biggest singles in Japan. It puts me in such a romantic and sad Rora mood. ><

Daisuki Da Yo by Ostuka Ai



English Translation:

It seems a waste
To reminisce about you
Because I want to keep you mine and mine alone.
I don't really wanna remember you
I mean, it's embarassing
Grinning to myself.
Even though you were late coming home
Tired from a late night
You picked me up in your arms
Even in my dreams, I knew it.

I miss you so
I couldn't feel anymore helpless
I miss you so
I'll always love you.

Did you know,
What I wished for
That night
When we went for a drive?
Did you know,
That I saw our happiness
In the sky we looked up at together?
You took this one 'me' laying there
Made her beautiful and were always there for me.
I miss you so
I don't wanna be any further away from you
I miss you so
I'll always love you.

I miss you so
I couldn't feel anymore helpless
I miss you so
I'll always love you.

I will always, always and forever
I will always love you. la la la.

[Rosaliz Hernandez G6]

I thought this video was very cute nice song...

[Ariane Chan]

Because I'm in an Otsuka Ai/Aurora mood, so I've been listening to her songs non-stop. These are two of the songs from one of her TV shows, 'Tokyo Friends' (not very good, tbh, but great music).

Hane ari Tamago

(The vid is the basic storyline 'Tokyo Friends'.)



To Me



And holy crap, school starts tomorrow and not all of my work has been done, lol. Bah. History will just have to be done in my free.

[Celia Richmond]

Haha, I forgot about this thread! And...I guess quite a lot of stuff's happened. Half term's been and gone (unfortunately), but it was good while it lasted for several reasons. I could, and probably would, ramble on and on and on for absolutely ages so everyone got fed up of me (if they haven't already) about what happened, especially one (fairly major, imo) event. Basically I met the guy I'm going to see Keane* with, and had a good day.

Otherwise...
-I got 2 university offers . From my last 2 choices, but whatever.
-I read all of a Richard Dawkins book which I'm proud of as although it was small the writing was tiny and hence took ages

Actually, that's about it.

*Keane=English alternative/rock band. Famous for "Somewhere Only We Know", more than anything else I think. They've just released their 3rd album (which I LOVE), hence the tour. 94 days . And as you can tell, I'm still really excited =).

uk.youtube.com/watch?v=j0kp-FjpdGA
Second song from their new album, called "The Lovers Are Losing (though not surprising if you listen to the lyrics)...one of the ones most like their older stuff. It's an odd album really, especially the first song which is completely different.
I would've put up the real vid, but it didn't work (said it was no longer available probably copyright or something. So yeah, not a real vid, but you can find that on youtube if you're interested.

[Ariane Chan]

This is rather pointless to say, but I came home today and burst into tears.

*shrug* Odd, how girls' hormones can work sometimes, huh? xD

@kat: It sounds like The Killers, lol. The frontman's voice seems to have changed a little, as has their style of music. I prefer their old stuff, but it's not bad.

[Kailyn Valak S6]

Ok, so I'll admit, I only read this thread for the music... With that said, I ended up buying that song from iTines, Kat. I did like Keane's Somewhere Only We Know, so I gave this one a try too. It's good!

Now, for my own suggestion. This song is FREE on iTunes this week. Normally, I get the free songs of the week and listen to them once, only to let them rot in my iTunes vault of music. But, not this one! Can't get enough of this song. In fact, it gave me the inspiration for the new charrie who is on his way. Have a listen, and if you don't like it, *shrug* It's ok, it's my favourite song for now and perhaps I don't want to share it with anybody else anyways.



Band: Glasvegas
Song: Geraldine

Lyrics:

When your sparkle evades your soul
I'll be at your side to console
When your standing on the window ledge
I'll talk you back, back from the edge
I will turn, I will turn your tide
Be your Sheppard I swear be your guide
When you're lost in the deep and darkest place around
May my words walk with you home safe and sound
When you say that I'm no good and you feel like walking
I need to make sure you know it's just the prescription talking
When your feet decide to walk you on the wayward side
Climbing up upon the stairs and down the downward slide
I will turn, I will turn your tide
Do all that I can to heal you inside
I will be the angel on your shoulder
My name is Geraldine, I'm your social worker
I see you need me, I know you do

[Celia Richmond]

Yay, glad you like that song . And yeah, their style has changed quite a bit, but I still really like them .

And I really like that song Adam, it's got a good tune and lyrics, though the singer's voice is pretty odd.

Oh, and after all the hassle with driving lessons in the summer, I've FINALLY got round to booking another driving lesson! Wednesday evening, 6-8 (I think, they do a 2 hour lesson the first time, first hour free). Not looking forward to driving in the dark, but at least I have a lesson sorted. I didn't mention on the phone that I'd already had some lessons, though maybe I should've done. The woman I spoke to sounded...odd. I dunno how exactly...but anyway, I'm happy now .

In other news...not much. Literally only 2 of us at dancing this morning as there's some cometition thing this weekend, so that was a waste of time. We were going over Ballroom techniques a bit, which is pointless as our exam was 2 weeks ago and we won't be doing ballroom again till...about February, I guess. But whatever.

School's been...average I guess, not too bad. Speaking of which, I should probably go and start on my hw now.

[Ariane Chan]

I'm moving this thread to General Thoughts. I think that's where it really should be.

Anyway, in relation to what I said in the movie thread, here's 'The Blower's Daughter' by Damien Rice, then '9 Crimes'.

[Rosaliz Hernandez G6]

Currently I have have a BIG obsession of the German/English rock band named Tokio Hotel..... Here songs I like. The lyrics especially get to me... I am just going to put up the English versions... if anybody's interested I'll out up the German equivalent too...

Monsoon



By your side

[Ariane Chan]

Re-named the thread.

@rosaliz: Love them, they're great!

Gotta share three songs I absolutely love at the moment. First one's probably been out in the US for a while, but no matter. I just love the tune and surprisingly, I love the video. Second is just such a feel good song with a really catchy tune. And the last is The Script again, who I know Fiona loves. Another great song from them, and I love the lyrics so much I've posted them up too. Enjoy~


Beyonce Knowles - If I Were A Boy



Take That - Greatest Day



The Script - Break Even


I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just prayed to a god that I don't believe in
Coz I got time while she got freedom
Coz when a heart breaks no it don't break even

Her best days will be some of my worst
She finally met a man that's gonna put her first
While I'm wide awake she's no trouble sleeping
Coz when a heart breaks no it don't break even, even no

What am I suppose to do when the best part of me was always you?
What am I suppose to say when I'm all choked up and you're OK?
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces

They say bad things happen for a reason
But no wise words gonna stop me bleeding
Coz she's moved on while I'm still grieving
And when a heart breaks no it dont break even, even, no

What am I gonna do when the best part of me was always you?
What am I suppose to say when I'm all choked up and you're OK?
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces
I'm falling to pieces

You got his heart and my heart and none of the pain
You took your suitcase, I took the blame
Now I'm trying to make sense of what little remains
Coz you left with no love, with no love to my name

I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just prayed to a god that I don't believe in
Coz I got time while she got freedom
Coz when a heart breaks no it don't break even
No it don't break, no it dont break even, no

What am I gonna do when the best part of me was always you?
What am I suppose to say when I'm all choked up and you're OK?
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces, yeah
I'm falling to pieces
I'm falling to pieces

Oh, it don't break even, no
Oh, it don't break even, no
Oh, it don't break even, no

[Ariane Chan]

Because right now I want to scream and cry at the same time, I need some feel-good music. And then another song to bring me down again...

(Fully recommend watching the first video.)


It's Not Your Fault by New Found Glory



Straight Jacket Feeling by The All-American Rejects

[Ariane Chan]

Because this song is just so... good.


Broken Strings by James Morrison feat. Nelly Furtado

[Ivy Tunstall]

... I just realised - I might not survive until December 8th.

Tomorrow... I am going to miss the first 45 minutes of choir because of the interview technique workshop.

This Thursday... I am in Bristol... no String Orchestra for the second week running (missed last week because of the talk).

The Thursday after that... I am going to be at the Nuffield Celebration Day presenting my project for a CREST award so... no String Orchestra for a third week running.

Sarge is going to kill me!!!

[twiggy]

Oh no Ivy! I'm sorry. But surely he'll understand right???


~~


I just wanna say, not rant... but say how happy I am to be back!!!!!!!!

[Finn Miles H7]

Ok... so when I heard this song, my mind instantly thought of Viola Hudson. So, if you've posted with Vi, tell me if you agree (or if you play Vi, let me know if this is a good match for your character ).
