lithium

everyone needs (or wishes) to be emotionally stable.

kick THEN scream. or was it vice versa?

GOD PLEASE HELP ME.

i'm so pissed. okay, pissed is officially a cliché so i probably shouldn't use it anymore.

I'M FUCKED TERRIBLY ANNOYED.

or was.

GOD! must stop self-doubt.

you know, sometimes i wonder if i even get myself all worked up just FOR SHOW.

once a drama queen, always a drama queen. never serious enough to even trust herself.

MUST. STOP. BEING. SO. UNBEARABLY. NARCISSISTIC!

yours truly,
a dirty-mouthed drama queen who needs emotional management

au revoir, mon cherie

my computer's dead.


so there.

we control the chaos behind a gun

ignore my previous post. i apologise for my narcissism.

i just read an essay by Serj Tankian (System Of A Down) yeah, i may be slow considering that it was on the internet two days after the 9/11 attacks.

but whatever. he made me think again about the current war situation in the Middle East. i mean, seeing all that crap on Friendster makes me wonder about the sad lives we're leading right now.

no ambition, no purpose, we just take pictures of ourselves with lousy cameraphones in the mirror.

PEOPLE! GET. A. LIFE.

and the essay. why are we fighting (and killing innocent civillians in the process) in a war that's meant to stop the violence?

i've always thought this was strange. but i forgot to blog about it.

this is either taking action immediately without forethought or being extremely childish.

THINK OF ALL THE FUTURES YOU'RE TAKING AWAY; THE CHILDREN YOU MURDER IN A WAR THAT ISN'T THEIRS.

read the essay here.

another thought: why fight among yourselves when there are worse problems like AIDS, poverty and global warming? can't you do something more productive? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?

say that you love me!

maybe Mika has insecurity problems.

maybe i should stop being so shallow myself. i mean, yesterday i was wondering if everything i did was just to fool everyone.

even myself.

give up acting Lizz. and come to think of it, self-doubt too.

i'm confusing myself with this non-existant paradox.

"no, i don't break hearts, i just dent them."

dialect 101

i probably should do my homework right now, even though homework and i do not mix well. IT'S A CONSPIRACY!

on a lighter note i watched Paycheck yesterday. and now i have Little Miss Sunshine waiting for me, along with An Inconvenient Truth. thanks daddy!

QUESTION: what the hell does kiam pak mean?! Jeann just called me that and it sucks because i have no idea what it means.

oh well. i-ay ove-lay uo-yay ny-ay+ay-way.

or however you spell it.

what's the day again?

You Found Me's a really sappy song, but still one of my favorites. by Kelly Clarkson.

what's the date? i seriously have no idea. that's a con of the holidays; you unknowingly disconnect yourself from reality and spend all your time (wasted) on myspace, watching all those dvds you wanted and playing with your cat.

okay, it applies to my case anyway.

anyway, on the 10th of june, which was x days ago (or maybe today), the Dresden Dolls' music video for Shores Of California was/is released!

and fyi, it's inspired by David Lee Roth's video for California Girls, hence the beach. or maybe that's all a coincidence.

anyway, watch it. it's fucking amazing.

that part where Amanda starts making out with Kelly (from the "Shoes" video) totally took me by surprise. i was like, "WHOA, where'd THAT come from?!"

but everything else was just awesome. i have to go to Venice Beach, which is in California, not Italy, strangely.


"like, oh my god, shoes!"

Milan + Osaka (or bust!)

i kind of abuse my eyes. (and a lot of other things i own actually.)

and i heart lists.

what sarah + matt owe me:

- a geisha (a.k.a. whore) doll
- The Nightmare Before Christmas paraphernalia (fancy word for junk)
- Melody Fall's album Consider Us Gone (i hope)

obsessing, wasting time and why it can kill

why should we obsess?

it probably gives us something to do, seeing that it's the summer holidays and we're all BORED TO DEATH.

ob·sess [əbˈsɛs]
–verb (used with object)
1. to dominate or preoccupy the thoughts, feelings, or desires of (a person); beset, trouble, or haunt persistently or abnormally: Suspicion obsessed him.
–verb (used without object)
2. to think about something unceasingly or persistently; dwell obsessively upon something.


i've never actually OBSESSED over something to a certain extent where ALL my blog posts and all i talk/bore everyone is/are about that subject.

wasting time is another thing altogether. that you can do ALL the time.

how to waste time:
- sit in your bedroom
- lie on your bed, staring at the posters on your ceiling
- look up at the sky, count the stars and contemplate the very existance of mankind and why we are screwed up, over and inside out

just a few ideas.

another good time-wasting game is making up silly stories with your best friend, RIGHT SARAH?!
