I lied, I have something to say. I was thinking of CynDee today, not in a particularly sad way, other than her birthday is next month. Then for some reason the only song that jumped out at me from my Misc/unsorted folder was "One Headlight". I like that song, but usually only really notice the chorus and the part that says "She said it's cold, it feels like Independence Day..." Today only the beginning and end jumped out at me...
"So long ago, I don't remember when
That's when they say I lost my only friend
Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease
As I listened through the cemetery trees "
and
"
I'm so alone, and I feel just like somebody else
Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same
But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin' dreams
I think her death it must be killin' me"
Those parts fit too well. Well, her death isn't killing me, but it did change me and a part of me died with her. Having her in my life was like having a twin just from different parents. She related to me and me to her in ways I've never see other friendships work. I can never explain it to anyone properly. But to say she was the "friends version" of a soul mate or my twin without looking like me, is close. I know I often feel like she's still with me... but I'll always miss her really BEING... I think the only reason her death didn't kill me is my dad dying when I was baby prepared me. I've spent my whole life loving someone deeply who I never saw, who died even younger than CynDee did, yet I felt was with me anyway.
My Day;
Am worried to death about someone, but it's too long to explain... needless to say someone who plays IJ has a lot of us worried. I've done everything I can with the info I have -- emailed, left an irc memoserv message, left a message on his myspace, and messaged someone on myspace who seems to know him in "real life". *sigh*
Talked to friends.
Hollywoodland was still sold out in widescreen so I watched Muppets From Space instead.
Checked out some good music that krizzz recommended to me (Leine for the curious).
Wondered why Britney Spears didn't just buy a razor to do her hair shaving job at home -- you know away from the cameras.
Bitched about diet 7Up switching from splenda to aspartame. I can have some aspartame now and them but having it regularly, erm, no. Oddly enough, I tried Enviga today which has aspartame in it (didn't realize that until I was drinking it). It's billed as a calorie burning drink. I just wanted to try it as I like to try new drinks just to see... I don't like tea, never tried green tea before now, but this wasn't bad.
Watched Def Poetry, I thought it'd be canceled for some reason.
Now it's Sunday, so I need some zzzzzzzzz.

Health:
Have been having a bit of a fever / chills / clammy feelings (even Brian said I felt clammy and sweaty, usually when I feel feverish and he feels my forehead, he says I feel fine to him). I guess I have a cold. I deal with my serious issues much better than I deal with a cold *pout*
V-day stuff:
Jenn sent me a LiveJournal virtual candy gift. <3
Guess CynDee was watching over me or we were wrong about Vdays in years ending in 7. Oddly enough 7 has become my favorite number in the last year or so. hmm. Whatever, the curse sees to have broken.
Of course I played the song I have to play every year. The song that used to make me cry. That made me choose angel names. One of the few songs that really has meaning to me. (Aerosmith - Angel)
Sleep:
I couldn't sleep until almost 10 am. I woke up after 5 pm. So much for the almost normal schedule I had going for awhile. Clearly my body prefers daytime sleep.
Mijn Favoriet:
The email that never arrived, he did tell me "it was a cheesy valentine card", aww told him it's the thought that counts since he actually used a sad face when telling me it wouldn't let him re-send. He finally answered the IRL mailbox question I had but left me more confused than I was before. I will assume he didn't send anything so as not to be disappointed, but if he did I will be surprised. He's sneaky! Of all of the people in the world he's one of the few I would trust with everything and I think he knows he can trust me with anything. I feel like I know him better than most, yet not at all... Like he can do or say something out of the blue that will totally shock me while at the same time I'm not shocked at all. It's a very weird friendship.
Other Dutchies:
I started to talk to another IJ Dutchie tonight. Have talked to him before but just about game stuff.
He told me: "ik ook dat je een goede wannabe nederlandse zal zijn op een dag:D" heh I never could have put that sentence together, but could read it *grijnst*
Now:
Reading or playing solitaire (Brian "you play that alone?") and then it's Nighty night world time. And because I have a fever I will not feel guilty no matter what time I fall asleep or wake up.

Today was a nice lazy (aren't they all?) day. Slept enough. Played some IJ. Read some more of My `Dam Life (almost done). Watched Desperate Housewives. Watched the last 1/2 hour of the Grammys (Imogen Heap was up for new artist? Wasn't her CD I Megaphone in 1998 semi known? RHCP and Gnarls Barkley did well, I like both. Tom Petty lost but to Bob Dylan and RHCP so I didn't have to bitch. I don't listen to Dixie Chicks but good for them, winning so many awards after being treated like crap... that must have felt damn good).
That is all. I think. Wasn't arty or crafty or productive in any way today, unless feeding the cats is productive. Oh and looked up Ghost Hunters online, I did that too. No new TAPS until June, ugh. Oh and to make up for all of this mindless stuff, I used my brain just enough to play wordjong, like mahjong but with letter tiles and instead of matching you make words.
Since it's Monday now and all... Nighty Night World...
♥ Ik hou van jullie allemaal ♥
Lazy Day:
It's been over 24 hours since I last updated *gasp* Actually that's not as odd as it would have once been...
Not much to say... my day = *woke up later than usual (4pm) but it seemed to be a good sleep (no kitty waking me up all day, etc so it was a full 8-9 hours of sleep), watched a lot of news, read VOX and LJ, played IJ, watched Trading Spouses (continued from last weeks show I was hoping to figure out which small southern Oregon town the ev0l Mexican hating, gay hating, idiotic woman came from, seemed like it could have been the small southern Oregon town I used to live in), talked to my CC for the first time in a month, took an Imitrex then wondered why as they don't seem to help me, and made a new mouse ArtRage/Photoshop "painting"*
Phew. Ok. Had more to say than I thought.
*edit* I posted this before seeing today's hunt, so...
VOX HUNT: Show us something you made yourself. *end edit*
Music:
I was listening to She Takes Her Clothes Off (because I love the song, especially since it mentions wanting to be the wife of Jimmy Dean, we all know if he showed up today the age he was when he died, looking like he did before he died, I'd stalk him)... With all of the Anna Nicole news lately, I realized this could sooo be a song about her life now.
Nighty Night World.

Brian:
While out in public, I had to ask Brian how old he was... He either answered with 2 1/2 or 3 1/2, my memory is bad. He decided the reason he's so immature is because his parents told him NO so often as a child. You know basic things like don't flick that lettuce off of the table onto other tables... ummm.... I roll my eyes... a lot. You'd never know he's almost 30. I'm all for silly, but really someone should have taught that man how to act in public, he was thinking of talking to his parents about this but decided against it.
Music:
I installed iTunes on this laptop, forgot to before now, but figured I'd sync my iPod with my music + I wanted some podcasts on it updated. I updated my iPod software, the update said bug fixes, if this goes as well as the last iPod software "upgrade" I should be cursing those bug fixes in no time. Anyway, yeah...
I let iTunes start playing my collection of artists from A-Z, I am at D12 now. I didn't play every song or artist all the way through but then I realized ohh yeah... I did install last.fm software, so my last.fm charts might actually change some now that I am listened to a little of everything. What a brilliant piece of software / website, unless you have a large friends list, forget you have it installed, and play something you'd NEVER admit to liking.
Reading and Life:
Still reading My 'Dam Life. It makes me a) wish I would have had traveled somewhere in my life by now, somewhere outside of the US and b) realize if I ever had to write a book about living in LA, I'd not have much to say, so it's a good thing no one would expect me to write such a book. Then again, you should all be glad I'd never have anything to write a book about, I'd make you all go BUY it, that's right, no freebies except for my mom (of course). A girl needs to make a living. I wonder how big of a demand there is for a book that is about 6 years worth of doctor stories + a dysfunctional family + my views on Superman. No? hmm... Ok, so writing is out then.
Mijn Favoriet:
He messaged me quick to say he had to go, f00tball match. He hasn't played in ages because he'd hurt his knee the last time he did play in a match. He better not get hurt again anytime soon or I'll pout, a lot. I think all Dutchies (males at least) have some national contest about who can do the most damage to their bodies via f00tball before hitting 30, probably more like before 25. Hearing about Robbie's injuries, Mijn Favoriet's knee, seeing the pictures of Luur's shoulder blade not quite where it should be, etc, have all convinced me of this 'fact',
♥ Ik hou van jullie allemaal ♥
ps - did I say I couldn't write a book? HOLY... this post is clearly chapter 1, didn't realize I was so ranty tonight. Firefox spell check tells me that "ranty" isn't a word, I say otherwise as will anyone who read all of this.
I call this hate...
Pastor sends out anti-Muslim flyers trying to convert them to Christianity... Do I even have to explain how wrong this is? That Pastor was on several local newscasts tonight explaining how he loves all people but not all religions, that he wants to save Muslims by converting them, that he wants to see them in Heaven with him... It was offensive to me and I'm not Muslim. Judging an entire group of people by the actions of some of them is WRONG, no matter how good you claim your intention are. It's hateful and it makes me ill. You don't hear Muslims telling people not to believe in God or not to be Christian every time a Christian commits a horrific crime.
Toys For Tots...
Brian wants to donate to Toys For Tots and not just the cheapest stuffed animals he can find, etc. He wants to get a couple of Nintendo DSs or GBAs or something because he wants a kid or two out there who might not never have cool things will have them this year (he's even avoiding buying himself a Wii for a bit + sent money to the Portland mission for their work too). So I look it up... They only accept toys at Toys R Us until NOVEMBER 22?!?!? WTF is that? They accept cash until December 24th but the toy drive is done before the first sale of the holiday shopping season?
What songs you shouldn't download, I guess...
Most Annoying Songs?
I'm a bit pink!
Well my hair is anyway, YaY! Brian helped, good man!

Submitted by Lox Ly.
Jerusalem by Anouk from the Hotel New York CD
Sir can you tell me how to get to Jerusalem
'Cause I have kinda lost my way
Sir will you help me get there as fast as I can
Tomorrow might be too late
'Cause things ain't what they used to be
My love for life is gone you see
Am I fighting things I cannot see
People always tellin' me how sweet and simple life could be
They say you might as well live before you die
But one thing I know for sure
I am a danger to myself, how come
Yeah one thing I know for sure
I need some guidance, to get me out of this hellhole
Jerusalem, can you help me find my way back to Jerusalem, yeah
It took me quite a while to get into Jerusalem
'Cause I had kinda lost my way
I want to save me from myself so here I am
I hope it's not too late
'Cause things ain't what they used to be
My love for life is gone you see
Am I fighting things I cannot see
I am so afraid to love
'Cause of the way I've been hurt before
I think by now it's time for me to leave
But one thing I know for sure
I am a danger to myself, how come
Yeah one thing I know for sure
I need some guidance, to get me out of this hellhole
Jerusalem, can you help me find my way back to Jerusalem
Jerusalem, can you help me find what I have lost
Things ain't what they used to be
My love for life is gone you see
Am I fighting things I cannot see
I don't wanna die this way
Wishing that I could turn back time
Wasted time, there is work to be done
But one thing I know for sure
I am a danger to myself, how come
Yeah one thing I know for sure
I need some guidance, to get me out of this hellhole
Jerusalem, can you help me find my way back to Jerusalem
Jerusalem, can you help me find what I have lost, yeah yeah
