Melancholy in a bottle

Now Playing: Simple Minds - Don't You (Forget About Me)

Tagged by Hem -

I am thinking about...
escape.

I said...
more than I ought to have.

I want to...
write better.

I wish...
I’d grown up the way I thought I would when I was 15.

I miss...
the way I used to be.

I hear...
the rain on windowpanes.

I wonder...
what matters now.

I regret...
quite a lot, unfortunately.

I am...
giving in to my more melodramatic instincts.

I dance...
like I’m trying to get it out of my system.

I sing...
only at Church and karaoke. God gave me this voice, so he can’t complain, and my friends should have known better to take me to a place where microphones and Celine Dion songs are available.

I cry...
quietly.

I am not always...
happy to be laughed at.

I write...
contrivedly.

I confuse...
what people say and what they mean.

I need...
to get out more.

I should try...
exercising my muscles/exorcising my demons.

I finish...
books I’m reading very quickly, but put everything else off. (just like Hem!)

I infect, I mean, I tag eM, Cale, Rishi, Beth & Salanth.

Do you know a bot?

Now Playing: Basshunter - Boten Anna

Now you too can share in the trippiness that is Boten Anna. Props to Jools for telling me about this song.

In other news, close-up photography bugs the crap out of me.

On Lake Ontario

Now Playing: Muse - Map of the Problematique

These pictures were taken during a sunset cruise on Lake Ontario.

Watching the Watchers

Now Playing: Alizee - Moi... Lolita

These pictures - of people watching/waiting for the sunset - were all taken from a terrace in the cliff-top town of Oia on Santorini.

Waiting...

Pretty Colours...

Really Pretty Now...

I sense a theme here...

The Grand Finale

The List

I’ve realized that unless I make a list of things that need to be blogged, and then cross them off as I post, I’ll never cover all the things I want to talk about – which means that I will go on mentally composing snatches of posts that are subsequently forgotten.
