Stuff and Nonsense
(T. Finn)

Disobey my own decisions
I deserve all your suspicions
First it's yes and then it's no
I dilly dally down to you, oh
But I've got no secrets that I battle in my sleep
I won't make promises to you that I can't keep

And you know that I love you
Here and now not forever
I can give you the present
I don't know about the future
That's all stuff and nonsense

I once lived for the future
Everyday was one day closer
Greener on the other side
Yes I believe before I met you
I assumed that your love was brighter than the stars in my eyes
Now I know how and when I know where and why

And you know that I love you
Here and now not forever
I can give you the present
I don't know about the future
That's all stuff and nonsense

Answer via comments. Go on. Do it.

Well, Bex and I saw PLACEBO on Monday [okay, I nicked this from my blog - it's a couple of weeks old]. Yup. I've dreamt of seeing them for years and years, and now, the dream seems like a dream, but it was incredible. Words cannot express. Seeing them live... the music really is mind-boggling.

I just found a white hair on my head O.o

Anyway. One thing that did bug me was how little the band communicated with the audience. Brian said hello, and Stef and Steve wandered out and had a wave, but that was it. I guess, I've been harbouring delicious fictions about who these characters are for my entire adolescence. It's kind of like finding out Santa isn't real, or that God is dead. Yeah, I'm a little dramatic.

But Brian Molko, fiction or not, will always be the voice of my adolescence; I will always love PLACEBO.

I bought badges, but the ******** shirts cost $40! No one has $40! Gack.

But I have awesome badges biggrin

If I could tear you from the ceiling,
I'd freeze us both in time;
find a brand new way of seeing,
your eyes forever glued to mine.

When Traci Harding used the phrase, 'the dead carcass', I knew I was up for a challenge. I don't think I've ever circled anything in red pen in a library book before. As opposed to, for instance, 'the live carcass'?? Geez.

Nelle recommended The Ancient Future to me as a deep read with ties to science fiction, quantum physics and metaphysics. Maybe you were on drugs when you read it, Nelle?

This book reads like Mary-Sue fanfiction. Shallow writing, dreadful dialogue with out of place 'thees' and 'thous', cardboard-cutout characters (all the good characters are incredibly beautiful, the evil ones ugly and wrinkled). The whole premise of the book is ridiculous. Essentially, it's a trashy romance. And yet, it has this incredible fan following! WHY??? The main character, Tory, is a young Australian black belt who luckily speaks ancient Welsh. She is magically zapped into Celtic Britain and falls in love with The Prince.

Sounds just like my first and only Legolas Mary-Sue. Mary-Sue is pretty and has l337 skills; she falls into Middle-Earth, falls in love with The Elf Prince.

Only, my writing as a thirteen-year-old was marginally better because I 'showed rather than told'. Some of the time.

Here's some mixed reviews from others. Some have been 'enlightened' by Harding's books, but most realise she's just beating a dead carcass.
