sad

Mad World

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places
Worn out faces

Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere
Going nowhere

Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression
No expression

Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow
No tomorrow
No tomorrow

And I find I kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it’s a very, very
Mad world
Mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy birthday
Happy birthday

And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen
Sit and listen

Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me
No one knew me

Hello teacher tell me what’s my lesson
Look right through me
Look right through me

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I’m dying are the best I’ve ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles it’s a very, very
Mad world
Mad world

Enlarging your world
Mad world

strike a pose

[url=/image.php?image=/images/2004/0308/IMG_4143.jpg&title=strike a pose?][/url]

i do not enjoy being in pictures. well, it isn’t that i don’t enjoy being in pictures, but i get rather self-conscious if i’m asked to pose for pictures. which is sort of odd because i ask other people to pose for me ALL THE TIME. not that anyone does pose for me, but still, i do ask all the time without thinking twice about the hypocrisy of it all.

i do enjoy taking pictures, being in them…well, not so much. odd, isn’t it?

insecurity bourne out of love

it’s a touchy subject, but it’s also something that i feel strongly about. when it comes to relationships, i don’t think that there is room for insecurity anywhere. i’ve been the victim of insecurity’s fierce grasp and it only made a bad situation worse.

what i did hear recently was that the only reason someone reacts with such insecurity is because they really have deep-rooted feelings for them. now, i can see how the depth of your insecurity can be fueled by how much you care for someone and you are afraid of losing that person, but i do not think that it justifies acting on your insecurities.

one of the problems with jealousy, for example, is that you may have these feelings of jealousy for no good reason. there may not be a valid reason at all why you may have these feelings, yet they are there. this does not excuse you from acting out on these feelings and lashing out on others. even if you feel that they are bourne out of love, it doesn’t mean that there will be an equal, understanding reaction to them.

dreaming of an ice cream treat

in the past, my family had an ice cream maker and we tried to make ice cream with it. it wasn’t a very pretty experience, the ice cream was mostly slushy and it never really hardened. i’ve always wanted to make ice cream, but never knew what the secret was. i’m hoping that when my ice cream maker comes, it will be easy to use and it will make the kind of ice cream that i want.

i’ve already dreamed up of a bunch of flavors i’d like to try. cookies and cream, green tea, fanta orange, chocolate chip….mmmmm. the maker i ordered makes 1 quart worth of ice cream. not enough for big parties, but enough for a few servings.

i just hope that this ice cream maker doesn’t become one of those kitchen appliances that i use once and never use again. that would be rather sad.
