About me:
Check out the latest Distortions album - Machines At Night.

"What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset."
-Chief Crowfoot

"There is neither happiness nor misery in the world; there is only the comparison of one state with another, nothing more. He who has felt the deepest grief is best able to experience supreme happiness."
-Alexandre Dumas (The Count of Monte Cristo)

"The aim of life is self-development. To realize one's nature perfectly - that is what each of us is here for."
-Oscar Wilde (The Picture of Dorian Gray)

"To be bitter is to attribute intent and personality to the formless, infinite, unchanging and unchangeable void. We drift on a chartless, resistless sea. Let us sing when we can, and forget the rest..."
-H.P. Lovecraft (letter to FB Long: Mar. 21, 1924)

"He had no longer any need for home, for he carried his Gormenghast within him. All that he sought was jostling within himself. He had grown up. What a boy had set out to seek a man had found, found by the act of living."
-Mervyn Peake (Titus Alone)

"I sometimes feel that I'm impersonating the dark unconscious of the whole human race. I know this sounds sick, but I love it."
-Vincent Price

Well, Tacoma's only about 30-40 minutes south of Seattle! Straight down I-5.

I live in Bellingham during the school year, and Tacoma during the breaks. Bellingham's claim to fame is Death Cab for Cutie. Tacoma's is Ted Bundy (serial killer) and Stadium High School (Where "10 Things I Hate About You" was filmed). Actually, rumor has it that Ted Bundy also lived in my apartment building in Bellingham. Fun times!

I checked out your deviantART pictures and they're waaay pretty! It also looks like you were down my way (Washington). Where all did you go? You should've stopped to visit, hehe.

Feb 14 2008 10:20 PM

hehehe

No I wish I could of thought of it first, but I found it on DA the first day I joined, I ended up watching that DA artist, she has a funny web comic with the caracters of Labyrinth and Phantom of the opera. I wish I really could update my pictures on DA I've done so many more than what's posted there and what's on the boards.

She honestly doesn't bring enough to the character, her singing is a little flat too. The newer version the Character of Mrs. Lovette is more pitiable but with much more force than the musical, like at the end when she admits she lied but it was because she loved Todd. Sigh he was a monster but then he too was Pitiable.
Sangrebloom





Feb 3 2008 1:34 PM

Crap, Have you had the Sublime pleasure of watching Sweeney? I can't be too sure... But damn was it good, Now I must procure myself the musical and the soundtrack...because frankly it's both good... Although Mrs. Lovette does leave something to be desired... Boham Carter does a better

Hullo darling Cookie! <3
I was just thinking of you & wondering how you're doing.

Feb 1 2008 6:05 PM

Do you have the album "Hate" from The Delgados? It's amazing; it's beautiful. I think you'll love it. It's one of those albums where upon the first listen you'll think it's good. By the fifth listen you'll be hearing things you definitely didn't hear on the first listen. By the tenth listen, you'll realize it's one of the best albums you've ever heard.

Jan 19 2008 11:46 PM

how are you doing? i haven't heard from you in awhile.

I miss you!
sweetness





Jan 11 2008 6:34 AM

ah, that would be helpful for sleeping. Unfortunately it was my cough keeping me awake. I just went to the nurse & I have bronchitis so I am going to start antibiotics & all that stuff. She got me cough syrup with codeine... I'm either going to sleep like a baby tonight or be high and awake... :O
sweetness





Jan 10 2008 9:55 PM

yeah, I'm trying not to! it's always my goal. I usually do pretty well...

I'm stressed about some family drama, of course, and right now I'm stressed because my health sucks and I can't sleep and I have to wake up in ... 6 hours, basically or less. :( I hate not sleeping.
sweetness





Jan 10 2008 9:31 PM

Good. Hopefully that will help you & maybe get some control on the OCD.

Yes, new classes! :)
I am stressed but it's not school related for the most part so that's good, heh!

Hi Amber!!!
You rock, and don't change! All the best in the 08 Saunter!

Oooh, thank you!

It's weird, I already had my birthday party at home, so I have to convince myself that I'm not 21 yet.

Dec 20 2007 7:38 PM

I just got back from seeing the movie "August Rush". I absolutely loved it! And something about the movie made me think of you.
sweetness





Dec 20 2007 6:21 PM

you too! :]

Dec 20 2007 3:40 PM

I'm sort of looking forward to Christmas... I still have no idea what my family is doing but I hope it will be a relaxing drama-free break.

Dec 20 2007 8:44 AM

Hello there sprite! How's the winter wonderland in which you wonder, undoubtedly you are wearing treating you?

Dec 19 2007 4:18 PM

sweetness





Dec 18 2007 7:53 PM
