spoilt

I wish I wasn't so immature.

Siblings would have helped.

act of self-destruction

You told me you emailed a mate tonight, so in a state of boredom and curiosity I thought I'd look through your email to see whether you'd written anything about me. Nothing in your mail, so I looked through your Facebook inbox instead. Turns out there was no mention of me, so nothing interesting to report. Then I noticed you'd replied to another message thread. You called her 'cutie'. I was fairly surprised; I didn't think you'd give such an endearing term to any other girl. And you talked about your last few weeks, and you mentioned the house for a whole paragraph before you mentioned me, like I was only secondary, and then you made it sound like the time we spent together was civil, as though we weren't falling for each other again. Perhaps I was mistaken about the way you felt. Because I was definitely falling for you. Harder than I've ever fallen before. And then you mentioned that you much prefer Melbourne over Sydney, and how you want to live there. I don't know why reading that makes me upset and annoyed, but it did. I'm in love with you, I can't deny that. I've stopped my unruly ways, I've stopped trying to catch up with other guys on one-on-one terms, even though there's never really been any ill intent behind those catch-ups. I'm happy to share everything with you, but I feel like you're still hiding things from me. People. Emotions. Intent.

Here is my heart. It beats for you. More than ever.

I shouldn't have done it. Curiosity did kill the cat, after all. Feeling remorseful, I shared my key with you, so that you could read my emails, peruse my Facebook. But I did it again. I'm just curious to know more about you, in every possible way. I don't mean any harm with what I do, I'm just naturally inquisitive. You gave me the key, and I unlocked my Pandora's box, and filled my world of love with dark clouds of confusion, and anger, and pain. This was my act of self-destruction. Only you can save me now..

unbearable

I want to scream.

I think of you, and I think of the fun you're having, and I think of the girl you're with, even though I know there's nothing going on between you two because she has her own boytoy she's seeing.

Or at least I believe that there's nothing going on between you two.

I think of you, and I think of the fun you're having, and I want to throw my phone at the wall so hard that it breaks with a single throw.

I want to tear it up. Something. Anything.

You bring out a neediness in me that frustrates me. I can't think of anything else until you're back. You distract me even when you're gone. It shits me up the wall.

I just want to break something. My fingers. My head. My heart.

I want to call you. But I have nothing nice to say, except that I miss you and I wish you were here. I fill the conversation gaps with bitter words. You bring out the worst in me. I can't get rid of the pain I'm feeling right now so I can't let you get away.

I call you. And I mope. And I cry.

I can't do anything with you here, and I can't do anything without you here.

I need to talk to somebody about my problem. But my head doesn't seek anybody but you. But you are my problem, so I can't do anything about it.

I can't believe you didn't tell me before I found out.

You fucking dickhead. I hate you for having this effect on me.

discomfort

I feel rather stressed these days. When I think about why, I can break it down to a few things:

- There are too many thoughts flying around in my mind. Not only that, but I also feel incapable of organising or utilising (i.e. taking action on) any of them.
- I feel as though I have responsibilities owing to other people, but I feel like I don't have the time to fulfill those duties. This is inextricably linked to the above point.
- I can't sit down and study for my exams like a good uni student. Procrastination is unimaginably excessive. This is, of course, a key catalyst for the aforementioned points.

Facts of life (at present):
- I enjoy listening to music.
- I need to study.

My unfortunate problem:
- I can't listen to music and study at the same time, as the music distracts my brain cells and makes them travel in all different directions. Here I am also assuming that brain cells can travel (which, in reality, I doubt is the case).

Time to try and hit the books again..

aural pleasures

I've just come across a lot of new music in the last few days. GOOD new music.

When I think of my new acquisitions, I think folk. Not all of it is so, but most of it is folk-ish, and reminds me of old-school sounds.. which is fantastic. It especially suits the weather - cloudy and rainy makes me think Beatles, Sting, Simon and Garfunkel (amongst others).. not all at once, but if I were to draw a timeline between Autumn (on the left) and Winter (on the right), the artists would be placed accordingly (from left to right), Simon & Garfunkel, Beatles, Sting.

Enough ramble. Back to the music I was talking about.

Recent acquisitions (in no particular order.. except alphabetical):
Colbie Caillat: Coco
Duffy: Rockferry
Estelle: Shine
Gnarls Barkley: The Odd Couple
Goldfrapp: Seventh Tree
Idea of North, The: their complete discography - The Idea of North, The Sum of Us, Here and Now, Evidence, The Gospel Project
Joe Satriani: Professor Satchafunkilus and the Musterion of Rock
Jose Gonzalez: In Our Nature
Laura Marling: Alas I Cannot Swim
Yoav: Charmed and Strange

Time to write some music reviews.

beyond reality

So here we are tonight, you and me together, the storm outside, and this fire's bright. Oh, and in your eyes I see what's on my mind - you've got we wild, turned around inside. Oh and this desire, she is creeping up heavy.. Oh, inside you, I know you feel the same way as I do now - let's make this an evening, lovers for a night, lovers for tonight..

Well, wait here with me, oh tonight, just for an evening, oh and together this passionate picture, oh love, roll sweet and blistered - and away here, oh, tomorrow go back to being friends..

No, tomorrow we are friends, but tonight let's be lovers. We'll kiss and sweat, we'll turn this better thing to the best of all we can offer, oh, give it to you, this rogue sin, and leave it all behind. And the way says I offer, oh, one last kiss, one more fingertip, reeling away the while and all will be gone soon. You go your way to your man, and to my world if we can, oh..

Away here with me, oh lover, oh an evening, then to paint this passionate picture, oh twist, sweat, love, a secret creature. Man, all away, just for an evening, oh let's strip down and trip out at this, one evening's love, start with a kiss, soon away, yeah and tomorrow, go back to being friends..

Oh, go back to being friends. Tonight let's be lovers, oh yeah, tonight let's be lovers, say you will, tonight let's be lovers, say you will, tonight let's be lovers..

Oh wait here, please, oh, lover, oh, just one evening. Away the love, too late to say, then, oh tonight let's go all the way then! And away we'll sail, just for an evening. Oh, lover let's strip down, trip out at this, one evening's love start with a kiss.. and away here, love. And tomorrow back to being friends, yeah, oh tonight, lover, love yeah, just for tonight, one night, love yeah, oh..

And tomorrow, say goodbye.. tomorrow, say goodbye.. tomorrow, say goodbye..
