Girls will be boys and boys will be girls - It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world.

We're bobbing along in our barrel
Some of us tip right over the edge
But there's one thing really mystifying
It's got me laughing,
and it's got me crying
All my life it would be death-defying
Until I know
I wonder, wonder why the wonder falls
I wonder why the wonder falls on me
I wonder, wonder why the wonder falls
With everything I touch and hear and see

WHAT'S YOUR DOGGIE BREED?

I took a personality test to see which type of dog I'd be if I were... a dog, and had hoped to be a Golden Retriever, but instead, turned out to be a goddamn Pekingese! For starters, they're quite hideous. Urgh.

Here, let me c&p my Evaluation for all to see...

"Andrea, you're a Pekingese
No bones about it,

you're a trendy,
A-list Pekingese.
Classy and fashionable,
you love to be admired.
Sure, that means you can
be a bit high-maintenance at times,
but you're worth it, right?

You shine brightest in the company of
other chic, well-groomed doggies like yourself —
as long as they don't steal your thunder.
Full of more gossip than Entertainment Tonight,
you're always up on all the latest news.
You're somewhat untouchable, a definite trend-setter,
and can be a smidge intimidating.
You're the Ivana (or Donald) Trump of dogs.

Everyone (everyone who's anyone, that is) knows that. In a word, woof."

I can't begin to describe how disappointing it is to learn that you're 'Pekingnese' in doggie-world, when the breeds of your favourite dogs are the likes of the German Shepherd, Husky, or in this case, the most beautiful Golden Retriever. You know? HUG-ABLE, HANDSOME, ADORABLE as oppose to UGLY, ANNOYING 'TOYS'. ---quiver--- Small dogs are scary!

And I don't know which is more worrying, the fact that I'm upset because I have the personality of a Pekingese, or that I'm even taking this seriously.

But, despite the obvious let down, I decided to BOLD the parts in which I thought had some truth (or so I'd like to believe) - all in the name of fun, evidently. *ahem

p/s: I shall put up the 'real thing' - with pictures and all, once I figure how --don't judge me--.

These are the days.

So today was a lot like any other day. I stayed up practically all night. Went to bed when the sun came up (well, after lunch really). Got up mid afternoon. Switched on the computer. And here I am (not that I'm 'here' everyday). I mean, here, in front of the computer. A quick timecheck tells me Mad About You is on on 17. Bewitched is on at 6. I'm really looking forward to it. Then there's Arrested Development at 9:30 on 18(definite must-watch)... And... I'm hungry.

So there. That about sums up my very colourful, very meaningful life. How can I not be fulfilled?

"Epitaph"

Please don't leave me
Wanting more
I hope you never die
There's no need to say why

Just promise that you'll try
To give me all you can
I'll never ask for more
There's new life through the door

A cradle rocks and falls
As new fruit fills the tree
Cements the melody
To signify we're free

Our troubles passing
Through decaying
Simple times
I'll tread your trail with pride

C'est maintenant decide
I've nothing better
Please don't leave me
Wanting more

I hope you never die

There's no need to say why
Just promise that you'll try
