Have mercy, you unnerved me

That up there's a good song, it's The Devil In Me by Kate Voegele, I'm listening to it right now... later on in this blog I'll post up the lyrics, it's really very good.

So tomorrow I'm going to Amanjyots, and as per usual since my precious g-parents went on vacation, I had to fold all the laundry before I was given "official" permission to go. Anyway, I decided fine, if I have to fold I might as well tackle everything else that I've been planning on doing but putting off, get everything out of the way. So after I folded I took a quick shower and cleaned up my bookshelf. It's completely running out of room to hold more books, so I had to take everything off of it and completely re-arrange everything to make some space for the new 9 books I got for Christmas. Rather than a vertical look, I've given it a horizontal one, and it's totally awesome looking now that I've given it a change. It's organized more or less by size now, rather than by genre, which is how I would prefer it to be but the extreme lack of space won't let me do that. If I get another new batch of books in the new year from thrift shopping or just browsing at Black Bond, I'll have no room for it. Honestly, not one more book can fit on that shelf. I'll take a picture of it and show you all later just how cramped it is. For my birthday I'm going to ask my Dad to build a shelf along my wall so that I have room for new additions (at least it's better than asking my parents to buy something!). I'll even sketch out a plan for him so it's easier for him to do. I wouldn't mind a bookshelf scanning the perimeter of my room like the bookshelf downstairs does... oh, how my room would be a full flegded library! That would be awesome.

Anyway I'm watching 50 First Dates, I've never seen this movie from start to end. And it's no wonder, I find it compleeeeeeeetely boring at some parts. I mean just now as I watch a scene, I don't understand (but that's probably because I turn the channel at some crucial moments), and I'm lost as to how this movie is so great. But anyway, look at that, it's over. I'm turning the channel now.

This is my last week of break before school start's up and I feel as if I've wasted it. Augh, honestly, it's all the snow's fault. Whenever it snows I'm not allowed out at all, so I blame you, you ugly little white stuff. I can't wait till the sun melts you till you're water and not back again for another 12 months! You ugly, ugly thing. The only good thing about you is that you're a good fake excuse when you're late in the morning for your first class. And considering I've only used this excuse twice since the snow's start, you still weren't much of a good thing to me. I hate you, snow.

n2s: upload pictures of Christmas stuff around house and bookshelf - my pretty, pretty bookshelf!

Btw, I finished this really good book called Academy X by Andrew Trees, and it's all about the harsh truth in attending a competitive private school. It's a quick and good read, so go give it a try if you've got the time. This book was such a quick read it took me away from re-reading Jane Eyre, and I hate to be distracted by other books when I've already made a commitment to read and finish another... but anyway. I'll get back to reading it soon enough. I know I won't be getting distracted by any books from from the library... this new batch of books I got during Christmas guarantees that I won't be visiting it any time soon, I've got a million to finish reading now :P But that's a great thing. I love having a long list of books to read. Good feeling that is, LOL.

I got a stroke of genius the other day during Boxing Day, it absolutely urges me to go and write something. I dunno what this stroke of genius is worth though or what I'll do about it :P Probably nothing for a long time - I'm in a slump. And I have been in a slump for an extremely long, long, long time. I hate creative writing sometimes, really I do :P It's great for letting your creative juices flow and for putting feelings into words and all that stuff, but honestly, when I write, it mostly just consists of me starting at a computer screen unhappy with whatever I'd just spent two hours laboring and frustrating myself over. It never pleases me in the end, and I'm always upset that I can't come up with anything better. Writing can be very chastising to a person's supposed brilliance, I mean it :P

Anyway, here are the lyrics to The Devil In Me, as I said I would post later. They're great.

Far in the distance
This is the view from the other side
How did I let this pass me by?
You took me from granted,
Blended thorns in this garden of mine.
What are the chances my hope has died?
Please have mercy
You unnerved me
I don't deserve this pain, no.

{Chorus}
So don't break my heart
I ain't never done
Nothing to deserve this
I'm torn apart
You've had your fun
Do you suppose I earned it?
Do you not see how I'm begging on my knees?
No don't speak, don't breathe,
You pray I've the Devil in me.

Thinking it over
Those were days dark as any night
The end of October seemed like a life time
I had a suspicion
But didn't want to believe you a lie.
You had a mission to prove me right.

You took my trust
Ground it to dust
Found out I know better. Yea-yeah.

{Chorus}

And I don't wanna feel the pain
And I don't want another day
Shackled to your ball and chain.
You're entirely a pain
And I'm so tired of explaining
The sensation I've known over time.

I don't ever care that there is
No charity in your heart
Could you spare me, I've done my part. Yeah.

{Chorus x2}

And there you have it. I really do hope you give that song a listen, no matter if it's not your style or not. Anyway, I'm off to bed and sleep on the world. I mean, save the world, ha, my bad :P Goooodbye, G.
