I love that song!
And your version even better!
I sang that song a couple weeks ago in front of an 800 man audience and it went really well. (except the cool voice filter got killed halfway, and I suddenly had to sing really high.)
When I would have had your version I would have ROCKED EVEN MORE!
Anyways, I've started working on my comic again, I burned through my buffer pretty quickly.
The art will probably increase a bit now though!

Rant, Moan and Rave - 2010 edition
Man, I'm getting so tired of being able to eat NOTHING.
Tonight is my night to make supper which is even worse because usually I just eat whatever's in front of me even if it tastes like crap…when I'm making the food I kind of want it to be something at least I will enjoy. But I'm looking through cookbooks and yep, the options haven't changed since the last time I tried to find food without meat or msg: spicy, beans, or spicy beans. -_- Also cheese, but I eat way too much cheese as it is. I used to love food so much, this makes me so sad. :(
Ugh my eye is doing that thing again today where it bothers me in an unspecified way. I can't tell if it's pressure behind my eye in my sinus or what, it just feels ever so slightly off and uncomfortable. At least it's not painful, but I do notice it. Same eye that got itself all bloody-whites back in January and a funny little clear bump appears on now and then. I've been to the eye doctor (though not managed it when the bump was there) and they've said nothing is wrong (they were pretty rude in fact).
I've got that problem on a permanent basis. For most people it's the result of chemical irritants in the air and it goes away after a bit once the air is clear. In my case though, I've been exposed to so many of them over such long periods of time that I have a permanent brown bump on the white of my eye, which they basically called a mole, and my eyes become red whenever I'm tired. All it is, is your body rushing extra blood into the eyes for circulation probably.
I always pick the worst times to get sick. Last day of classes and I've got a midterm test and a critique that of course are at 5 pm and 6:40-10 pm respectively and I can't miss either of them as they're large portions of my grade. Sometimes, I think undergraduate courses in the art and design fields are purposely designed to be sadistic, seeing as how I've just finished several major projects all at the same time and each one was set up to be a 30-40 hour deal on top of being wacked out on cold meds. It's probably for the express purpose of weeding out the kids who don't belong that they make it so dang miserable to become an illustrator, because the field has become bloated with folks who aren't very good at it.

there's a dutch recipe that you might try, Hutspot!
Here's how ya make it:
cut crumby potatoes, onions, carrots, any other kind of vegetable into small pieces.
boil it until it is easy to mash together.
Mash it together.
drain it of water.
put it on a plate, use salt, pepper and butter to make it taste better.
Eat.
I've been eating like a vegetarian for quite a long time. (My ex was one) so I've had to learn some new recipe's. I kind of liked all different kinds of toast, I made my own special kinds of butter. mashing regular butter, salt, pepper, herbs together and then smear it on toast for dinner. The deserts where mostly my main source of nutrition.
I've lived off of my patented 'triple-chocolate-banana-strawberry-bomb-surprise-ice-cream-cake' for months!
I'd give you the recipe…
But it's secret.
I'm feeling a bit conflicted.
A lot of students in Britain just got their exam results back for their A-levels. It turns out a lot of them messed up. Big time. A lot of my friends who I considered to be my intellectual superior fell short of their expected results by a considerable margin. Those predicted to get A*'s got B's, those who had a damn good chance of getting a B got an unclassified grade. But me, I did really well, so I don't have any qualms about that.
Well, I'm now feeling a bit of survivor's guilt. Some of the guys I know are really bright, but for basically the majority of them to not reach their potential and for me to be cruising to success, it doesn't really add up. And then I see them now saying 'Okay I'm going to work hard now!' I know they will lose that drive in less than a fortnight, and that pisses me off. But then again, it really is either them or me, considering the way these things are assessed and marked.
So I don't know, one minute I'm like ':( That's awful for you, I should have done worse than you, you're practically the top of the class!' and then the next I'm like 'Suck on that, I am your superior, you reap what you sow'. I feel guilty for two completely different reasons now.
If you were wondering about my exams results (you weren't I'm just showing off now) I got 100%, 96% and 94% in my maths exam, 96% in my physics and 91% in my economics. That means I have A* and on track for two more.
Damn kids don't know how to work for the success/

That sounds like the sort of easy recipe I like! The bread sounds really good, too…what kind of herbs do you use?
Desserts are way more fun to make than good food, I wish I could live off of them! I tend to live on peanut butter and whatever I feel like sandwiches.
I ended up making a Finnish Apple Pancake tonight and it was actually delicious. :) That doesn't happen to often, pretty happy. Now I have like, 3 whole recipes I can make that taste good.
what kind of herbs do you use?
Mostly fresh garlic, Basil, really small cut chive (I think thats what it's called, here it's called bieslook) and I usually add some pieces of red pepper and regular white pepper.
Do you eat eggs? Some vegetarians I know don't eat it and some do, they're not sure heter it conts as animal. I have about 2000 egg recipes.
In other News:
I'm sleepy now and I'm going to bed…
Or maybe watch some season 4 of Dexter first… yay to (il)legal downloads!

Yep, I eat free run eggs. Very helpful but not the sort of thing you want to have every night.
My mom really wants me to gain 10 pounds since apparently being thin emphasizes my bad features (i.e. My "crescent moon face", small breasts, etc.) I eat a ton though. I have a turkey/lettuce/tomato sandwich, sun chips, and peach ice tea pretty much everyday for lunch (I'm one of those people who routinely eats something everyday until they get sick of it.) I haven't exercised since the fall. I must be really consistent or something, so my body knows what to do. Weird.
Still don't know if I got into AP or not. Big sigh.
Don't let your mum(or anyone else) put you down, Graceh. You're very pretty.
Sounds to me like you've just got a high metabolism, anyhoo. Not a whole lot you can do about that.

I don't like looking for a job. :( Makes me feel like I kinda suck.
"Oh hey there! I did all this volunteer work and I'm a really nice person and I was hoping, really hoping that you would hire me for this terrible minimum-wage job that you would never do yourself? … No? You won't? … Well, thanks anyway."
Meh, I could'nt sleep.

I'd check what the most healthy weight is for someone your size, if you are within healthy marges than ignore it, that kind of criticism can do nothing good to your self esteem. if you are really too thin then:
Drink liquid fat.
Excersizing might actually make you weigh more, by training in a proper way even light training can make your body more muscular, weigh a little more and just healthier!
yay!
turkey/lettuce/tomato sandwichIf you want to gain weight, replace the lettuce with mayo.
replace the tomato with mayo.
and replace the turkey with mayo.
that really worked for me, Now I'm fat!
yay!
Played in the concert tonight. Impressed a lot of people including someone who's worth impressing (really nice acting/voice coach) and my friends + my sister's friends. Had a hell of a time and I wish you all had been there. I ended up playing Polly and that was it but I rocked it.
Unfortunately one of my sister's friends who has issues decided to have a breakdown near the end of the concert and she needed all of our support. She is in love with this really JERKASS like guy who just wants to fuck her and she never knows how to finally call it quits with him and has a friend who likes him too. They call him Fudgebag. He's a douche.
But in the end of it all my brother took my guitar and started playing Turning Japanese and broke my guitar's G-string (don't laugh I didn't say MY G-string yet so you can make a sick joke) and now I have to have my mom go buy me some new ones.
One of these days I'll record me playing and put it up somewhere for you guys to listen to. You'll enjoy it.
Sounds to me like you've just got a high metabolism, anyhoo. Not a whole lot you can do about that.
I think so too. It's not like I'm trying to lose weight or anything. I think my mom is just very good at picking out my insecurities and joking about them. My metabolism's probably gonna stop in like three years, so I better keep riding this gravy train until I end up adorably plump like the other women in my family.
If you want to gain weight, replace the lettuce with mayo.

If that doesn't work, at least my death will make the news.
Excersizing might actually make you weigh more, by training in a proper way even light training can make your body more muscular, weigh a little more and just healthier!That's true. I was as skinny as a stick, no matter what I ate. With a little daily exercise though now I've padded myself out a little with some muscle mass. It really dose improve your body shape. :)
yay!

Oooooooh man. Third day running with the same damn migraine. Gahhh! I thought it had gone this morning, but it's come back again ever sooooo slowly, building up into a beast inside my head. Dammit! >_<
I just want to be anaesthetised until it goes away. -_-

I'd have that looked at immediately. You never know what it could be… Reminds me of when I got assaulted with a pipe five years ago. The doctors wanted to take a cat scan of my brain even though I insisted that I was fine… all they found inside my braincase was a hex nut…
I also remember that actress that had what she thought was a slight head injury. She died shortly after…

But when you're no longer a teen your body will get tired of maintaining a slim physique for you and send all the tasty things to your thighs. Enjoy the junk while you can. ;)
I don't like looking for a job. Makes me feel like I kinda suck.Which is why I've only ever done work experience…
My brain's still here after all that time.
Sometimes I doubt that…

I've only earned money by building websites, making portaits (even though they REALLY sucked), babysitting and that kind of stuff. I've worked at a factory for three weeks, but when it was time to pay us the company suddenly vanished.
That sucked.
In the netherlands work experience isn't really a big issue for people in webdesign and communication, if you can write
something... something... something... [b]dark side.[/b] then you're hired. so…yay holland!
Ooooo… There goes all your hard sucking up work.My brain's still here after all that time.Sometimes I doubt that…
Damn.
I SO had you pegged for a feature too. :(
Ah wells.
It's all good :)
Teehee.

Work… It's better than study and school. Oh yeah.
I never really had to try too hard to get work in the end. I initially applied for a few things, did some graphic design jobs here and there, slacked off on government money for a while, did the student thing again, then got myself some more graphic design work, and so on.
Work seems to get easier to find the more of it you do. For various reasons. I'm thinking I might like to try for another job soon. I like the people at my current job and they like me, but I don't want to be locked in, you know?
Besides… I'd like mooooooore moneys $$$$$… ^_____^
An ice queen, I tell ya!
…she does like cookies though
Damn…
Cookies are my Kryptonite!
They´re the one thing I can´t bake, cake is easy, pie is simple, I can even bake Ice cream without it melting but cookies…
I once let them cool off in the fridge and managed to burn ´em…
