There's a songbird who sings

I might be little bit in love.

Please, check this guy out. He's one of the candidates in Cro Pop Idol and he's just ridiculously awesome. I hope he wins. Not enough to actually pick up the phone and vote, of course, but I cheer in front of the TV. I DO WHAT I CAN, OKAY?

Anyway. He's singing "Here I go again" and "Stairway to heaven". How could he not be made of win?

And they've been known to pick a song or two

A while ago my sister came to me with something that has been bugging her. Every morning, while she was at work, a certain radio station would play the same song. A familiar song, a song she sort of knew, but not really. She wanted to know what the song was. This was where I came in. But... Yes, there's a but. But she didn't know who sang it. She didn't know the title of the song. She didn't remember any of the lyrics. She couldn't even hum it.
"Wow," I said. "This won't be complicated at all."
But I didn't give up. I went to the said radio station's site and checked the most played charts. Let me tell you, I clicked on MANY songs. Many random songs that might've been the one she was looking for. Songs that were most often played, and then songs that were played a little less often. And then random songs you could listen to on the site.
None of the songs was THE song. Clearly, I ran out of options. Her only hope was to hear the song while we were together so she could point it out. It never happened.
That was a month, or two, or three ago. I forgot about it in the mean time.
Then, two nights ago a new show started on TV. "Croatia is looking for a star". You know, the Pop Idol thing. So we're watching it and there are candidates and there are judges and they sing and they talk, yadda yadda yadda, and then there's a montage of different candidates with a well know song playing in the background. At that moment my sister points to the TV and yells: "That's it! That's the song I was telling you about!" And I turn to her and I give her this incredulous look, and I can't believe she didn't know what the song was.
Because the song is Sweet Home Alabama.

I, I, I will be fine

Here's a song that keeps me smiling. Pure joy. Have a listen.

SKY

Stand by the stairway, you'll see something

It's Sunday morning and my Mom comes (WTF? I just paused for a second to think about whether I spelled "comes" correctly.Seriously, brain, what gives?) to our room to tell us about a phone call received. A friend of theirs called to inform them that his son came home with a girlfriend, possible future wife. Um, should we call people to let them know that our children are seriously dating people? So I was like, OMG Call him back and say sister's BF was here last night! AND he will most likely come by again tonight. I mean, the world should know, right? People today... *shakes head*

I managed to collect the music from Kauboji. Actually, I'm missing one song that just doesn't exist. Seriously, I googled the parts of lyrics I remember but all I'm getting is some religious hymn and that's just not it! And it's an awesome song. Why doesn't it exist on teh intrawebz, why?! What a cruel world this is...

But for the music that I do own, I have a new mp3 player to play it on. Well, you know, music and audiopr0nz. AND BOOKS! Normal books, like this Dean Koontz's novel I'm listening to right now, Forever Odd, the second in the Odd series. But the mp3, let me show you it. Isn't it the cutest thing ever?

With nothing to say besides some comment on the weather

Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours" made me walk around the city grinning stupidly without even realising it. Such a ridiculously uplifting song.

I was so happy lectures got cancelled today. Mostly because I got to see the new episode of Supernatural earlier. I love SPN but what sucks about it the most is that, even though we met through it, I feel you judge me for still liking it. I'm embarrassed even for liking it and I don't think I should be.

I don't care for politics. Well, for American elections anyway. But living in the country where Ivo Pukanić was murdered in a car-bomb explosion so shortly after Ivana Hodak was shot is starting to scare the shit out of me. Who is next?

I got stuck in the traffic jam this morning on the way to that 7hrs long lecture and I freaked out beacuse I didn't want to be late and have her make me write the punishment paper. I managed to get there on time. Then she cancelled the second part of her lecture and assigned us all with papers. You know what, professor? Fuck you.

I didn't go to the German experimental film thing. A girl from the class did but she couldn't find where the showing took place. I'm glad I saved myself wandering through the woods in the dark.

All combined, I still like exactly two people from the R+ forum. Why I still visit, I'll never know.

This is how I communicate. This is how I tell you about what goes on in my head, what goes on in my heart, what goes on in my life. If you don't comment or react in any way, I believe you don't care for me at all. You make me sad. You make me wanna withdraw even more than I already do. You make me even more antisocial.

I reread an epic poem for my lit class (Smrt Smail-age Čengića). I read it in high school like everyone else and thought it was yawn-so-boring. Yesterday, Harač brought tears to my eyes. I'm so glad I got to read it again.

A choke and a gag, she spit up n came back for more...

I returned home today cradling 3 huge books in my arms. They're heavy and all talk about history of Croatian literature. And tomorrow morning, yes, on a Saturday, I'm going to the library. See, I'm thinking of trying out this new concept this year. It's the not-flunking-the-year concept. Some of you might have heard about it. I have a vague idea what it is but haven't actually managed to pull it off yet. So I'm giving it a shot, you know, trying it out, seeing how it'll fit me.

One of these days I'm gonna make a voice post. Stream of consciousness kind of thing. I won't be having much chance to actually speak English this year since I'm mostly taking Croatian classes and I really don't want to get too rusty. Also, I'll be signed in to skype when I can so please, do sign in and we'll chat. For purely academic purposes, of course. You don't want me to fail in English next year, do you? DO YOU?

I've also decided I'm gonna be using random lyrics as titles for my posts. In case you were wondering what the hell is that. I've also decided I'll try to make posts of some substance and use proper (well, more or less) vocabulary and grammar because a dear friend of mine told me my style was somewhat deteriorating.

Speaking of music, I'm discovering some things about myself. Not so long ago I was listening to Kelly Clarkson, Alicia Keys, Shakira, Pink... stuff like that. Lately, I tend to like a song here and a song there by artists I don't really know, then I download the albums, and they end up being metal and rock bands, and even though I can't say I like it all, I find myself keeping at least some songs and liking them. Am I evolving into a person that doesn't have to be ashamed of their music taste?

I'm still not interested in politics enough to be discussing the debates of the America's presidential candidates, but I'm politically aware enough to know that voting is important. So go vote, my friends. I always do. And that would be my PSA for the day.

Sometimes You Need A Few Drinks

I have stuff to write about, really, I do. The fact that I'm officially a student of the 2nd year after I'd enrolled to the 1st year for FOUR times (twice in law school, twice here), and how they're trying to kill us with boredom, how there are more of my 1st year peers left behind with me than I expected, how I helped in creating a radio show, how I found some music I really really like (right now, "Breathe" by Greenwheel, for instance, and then ohsobeautifulandperfect "Candleburn" by Dishwalla), how I went out and was an accomplice in a criminal act (sorta), how my virtual friends love me (Maichan) more than my RL friends, even though the latter ones can be sweethearts too (Puki), how I went shopping again and bought a ton of stuff, how my cat's missing and this time, this time I don't think he's coming back, how I gained all the weight I lost back, how someone form my blogroll wrote a freakin' BOOK (Darth)...
It's just that... I don't feel like it.

Instead, have a song that is oh so very true.

You don't understand my jokes
You're burning my eyes with your smoke
If I wasn't alone, I'd ask you to move away
So I order up another round
Sipping my last one down
You're the best deal in town
And I've only got dreams to dream of
Sometimes you need a few drinks to fall in love
If you need a few drinks
you could start with a couple of shots
Give a couple of winks
And later blame it all on the buzz
And this year burned a hole in my hope
I got debts that could choke out a rope
And it's not my approach it's the way I go summing things up
And there's really nothing great about this bar
So here I am and right there you are
We're both shooting way under par
But soon we'll forget what par was
Yeah, sometimes you need a few drinks to fall in love
If you need a few drinks
You might as well start with a couple of shots
Give a couple of winks
And later blame it all on the buzz
Sometimes, you need a few drinks to fall in love

Guess The Song

Step 1: Put your iTunes player on random.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 32 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Let everyone guess what song and artist the lines come from.
Step 4: Bold the songs when someone guesses correctly.
Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING!

1. Give me one reason to stay here
2. Remember when I dove into the crowd
3. There you go
4. Now that I've lost everything to you
5. All around me are familiar faces
6. While the choir sang, Ave Maria
7. You can dance every dance with the guy
8. I'm gonna be here for you baby
9. Early in the evening just about supper time
10. The rain falls down, falls on me
11. Get back on track, pick me up some bottles of booze
12. Lay where you're laying
13. I get up, and nothing gets me down
14. He spends his nights in California
15. Oh mama, I'm in fear for my life
16. Hey lady, you got the love I need
17. I never seem to find a reason
18. We'll be fighting in the streets with our children at our feet
19. I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
20. You think your days are uneventful
21. You took your coat off and stood in the rain
22. Step one: you say we need to talk
23. Does he love me I wanna know
24. And my words will be here when I'm gone
25. They paved paradise, put up a parking lot
26. I woke up today in London
27. Not that you're the one
28. When I was younger I believed that dreams came true
29. Is it still me that makes you sweat?
30. Please allow me to introduce myself
31. You could've been the real one
32. Children behave

Or Should I Say Vagblocking?*

I'm trying to go over the new Kings of Leon's album but every time I start listening to music, my sister decides it's TV watching time. So I like Sex On Fire and Use Somebody so far, but I never got to the second half of the album.

I also tried to watch Wanted today but remember my family that is at home this week? Well. They then decided it was just the time to do a great autumn cleaning of our room. You should know that when I say they, I mean my Mother and my sister (That film cannot be that important! Uh... Excuse me but James McAvoy? Is important.). They also made my Dad do stuff. He's making a closet for the hallway and then he's gonna have to paint it. The hallway not the closet. Except that he's also gonna have to paint the old hallway closet and move it to their bedroom.

You know that feeling when you have no plans for the day but you wake up at 7am anyway and then, having realised you've got nothing to get up for, you just roll over and continue sleeping? Mmmm yes. Except no. Because my parents tend to get up a little after 7 and then have loud conversations over coffee. Combine that with a tiny house made of paper-thin walls and you get me up at 7.30. And the best part: the surprise on my Mom's face accompanying the sentence: Why are you up so early?!

But then again, maybe it's not them. Maybe I get up at 7.30 because I go to sleep at 10.30. Now, why would I be doing that when I have nothing to get up for? Because I had to promise I'll be turning the PC off when my sister goes to sleep. And that's early. It also explains my sudden disappearances from chats. And you know, I made my peace with my family cockblocking (or should I say vagblocking?) my private life in reality, but to be depriving me of my virtual life as well?! Seriously.

*No, you're not crazy. The title has got nothing to do with the post.

Making Memories Of Us

... because it's simply beautiful. That's all.

Feel

OK, it is as it is. Nothing to do now, all I can is try to deal with it the way I can. I'm not giving up, not yet, although I have to say I'm not hoping all that much either. I suppose having a little luck will play a part too. I better start right now. God, I need a plan. Even more importantly, I need to stick to the plan! I wish I didn't feel like a failure so often in my life. I wish I managed to finish something once! How come I always give up in the middle? How come I don't have the ability to deal with obstacles? Why am I so weak?
My mother says I got that from her mother. After my grandfather hung himself, she just gave up. She basically lay down and waited to die. She just didn't have the will to deal and I'm afraid I'm just like that too. People tend to laugh when I say I'm just waiting to die but most of the time I'm dead serious (no pun intended). I can't quite explain it. Robbie Williams said it best: I don't wanna die/But I ain't keen on living either. Speaking of Feel. I wish I could feel something again. This apathy thing... not all that fun.
I have no idea what I am talking about now. Rambling.

Dream

Oh what a dream I had! I blame Trap, lol. We've talked way too much about Model Guy yesterday so I dreamt about him being in my house for some reason, following me around and trying to make me blow him. *shudder* I have got to stop dreaming of disgusting things!

OT: Rosi form cbox sent me "I could fall in love" last night. I've been looking for someone who had it for soooo long. I can't stop listening to it now. Silly how I am such a sucker for all things romantic as long as it doesn't happen in real life.


I could lose my heart tonight
If you don't turn and walk away
'Cause the way I feel I might
Lose control and let you stay

'Cause I could take you in my arms
And never let you go

I could fall in love with you
I could fall in love with you, baby

I can only wonder how
Touching you would make me feel
But if I take that chance right now
Tomorrow will you want me still

So I should keep this to myself
And never let you know

I could fall in love with you
I could fall in love with you

And I know it's not right
And I guess I should try to do what I should do
But I could fall in love, fall in love with you
I could fall, fall in love with you

So I should keep this to myself
And never let you know

I could fall in love with you
I could fall in love with you, baby

I could fall in love
I could fall in love with you, baby
I could fall, fall in love with you
