Music: I Know (Comments Off)
Feeling: restless
Listening to: Fiona Apple - Limp
I Know
by Fiona Apple
So be it, I’m your crowbar
If that’s what I am so far
Until you get out of this mess
And I will pretend
That I don’t know of your sins
Until you are ready to confess
But all the time, all the time
I know, I know
And you can use my skin
To bury secrets in
And I will settle you down
And at my own suggestion
I will ask no questions
While I do my thing in the background
But all the time, all the time
I know, I know
Baby
I can’t help you out
While she’s still around
So for the time being
I’m being patient
And amidst the bitterness
If you’ll just consider this
Even if it don’t make sense
All the time, give it time
And when the crowd becomes your burden
And you’ve early closed your curtains
I’ll wait by the backstage door
While you try to find
The lines to speak your mind
And pry it open, hoping for an encore
And if it gets too late
For me to wait
For you to find you love me, and tell me so
It’s ok, don’t need to say it

Daily, K. Wasabi, Music, Quizzes: I want something HARD (Comments Off)
Feeling: dirty
Listening to: Fiona Apple - Oh Well
See the 2nd picture here. Mika Nakashima’s shoes are pretty! *____* It must be nice playing Nana Oosaki’s role. She rocks — her clothes are awesome and she sings!
We had a short band practice last night. Aaron arrived around 8:30PM. We could have started right away and finished early, but Maru had to accompany some girl he’s “woo-ing” to MRT. Proper practice started at 10PM. We finished by 11:30PM and we had a little drinking session. As usual, I had to buy the beer.
We also had chips and chichacorn. 
Then I had GUDANG GARAM. I shortened my life by a day. *rofl* Boyet and Aaron was disgusted by the smell. The red Gudang Garam sort of smells bad, but the green isn’t. It’s yummy, smooth, and cool. 
They talked boy stuff… As if I wasn’t there yo. Then again, even at school, I’m usually with the guys. I was kind of considered “one of the boys.” ^^v Then we discussed about drugs and sex. I also told them that most of the time, I don’t dress up right away after taking a bath. I surf the net, check email, or bloghop. Yes, while naked. It feels nice, you know. 
I can’t wait for practice tomorrow. Sam’s going to be with us! It’s going to be a reunion.
He’s going to play the keyboards for us again. Jozen’s like disappeared off the face of earth or he sold his soul to his gf. T_T (Carlo, makakasama ka ba sa Friday? me hopes so *grins*)Oh Well
by Fiona Apple
What you did to me made me
See myself something different
Though I try to talk sense to myself
But I just won’t listen
Won’t you go away
Turned yourself in
You’re no good at confession
Before the image that you burned me in
Tries to teach you a lesson
What you did to me made me see myself somethin’ awful
A voice once stentorian is now again weak and muffled
It took me such a long time to get back up the first time you did it
I spent all I had to get it back, and now it seems I’ve been outbidded
My peace and quiet was stolen from me
When I was looking with calm affection
You were searching out my imperfections
What wasted unconditional love
On somebody
Who doesn’t believe in the stuff
You came up on me like a hipnik jerk
When I was just about settled
And when it counts you recoil
With the cryptic word and leave a love belittled
Oh what a cold and a common old way to go
I was feeding on the need for you to know me
Devastated off the rage you found below me
What wasted unconditional love
On somebody
Who doesn’t believe in this life
Oh well
Fyi, Oh Well’s from Fiona Apple’s still unreleased 3rd (?) album Extraordinary Machine. I have yet to hear the last 2 tracks of the album. So far, all the songs are uber good. There are horns in her songs which I didn’t notice in her other albums. It gives this cabaret-ish feel, but slower and lighter.
I wasn’t an avid listener of Fiona til recently and Extraordinary Machine seems to be the best. Damn SONY for not releasing this album for 2 years now. (FreeFiona.com)I’m gonna take a bath, queue Houshin Engi manga scans, and watch a movie.
