Weekend Lyrics

I love when I find a song to fit in with the stories in my head. This one fits Pasha and Jodan, especially given that their relationship isn't one that's exactly the sort welcomed by their world for many reasons, the least of which being that Pasha is from a noble family. Anyway, it's a lovely song and helps feed my muse.

"Anywhere"
Evanescence

Dear my love, haven't you wanted to be with me
And dear my love, haven't you longed to be free
I can't keep pretending that I don't even know you
And at sweet night, you are my own
Take my hand

[CHORUS:]
We're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the morning's light
We'll be half way to anywhere
Where love is more than just your name

I have dreamt of a place for you and I
No one knows who we are there
All I want is to give my life only to you
I've dreamt so long I cannot dream anymore
Let's run away, I'll take you there

We're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the morning's light
We'll be half way to anywhere
Where no one needs a reason

Forget this life
Come with me
Don't look back you're safe now
Unlock your heart
Drop your guard
No one's left to stop you

Forget this life
Come with me
Don't look back you're safe now
Unlock your heart
Drop your guard
No one's left to stop you now

[Chorus]

I am hoping with my desire to change my journal around and with some things happening in real life (good things, I mean), I'll feel relaxed enough to write more. That means I'll be making use of my writing journal a little more (jade_inspired). It'll all probably suck, but I enjoy doing it, so quality shouldn't matter as I'm not submitting anything to any place that's professional by any stretch of the imagination.

I See What I Did There

So, I think I figured out where I screwed up since this whole thing of losing my entire f-list didn't happen the last time I changed my journal name. See, there was this option to get rid of my "friend of" list. Now, I thought that meant I'd drop the people who I never friended back or I had unfriended while they kept me friended. I figured that by doing this I'd finally lose a couple of people I didn't want following around. The thing is that the "friend of" list also apparently includes the "mutual friends" list.

So, again, everyone I had friended before the name change stayed on my f-list. However, people who had me friended were treated as if they had unfriended me, so that's why everyone is getting a "Please add me back" message. And if people decide not to add me back, I'm fine with that as I understand I'm not everyone's cup of tea. I'll give everyone until Monday or Tuesday and then if I haven't received any response, I'll drop those people from my list. Again, no hard feelings or any drama. I know I haven't been a good commenter as of late and I also know things/life has changed quite a bit.

Also, LiveJournal needs to be more clear about this stuff. Or I should maybe read things more carefully before clicking on them. Nah, totally not it.

Pardon My Dust

Right, so I spent my Sunday of doing absolutely nothing working backwards through my Livejournal entries. I retagged and reopened most every entry that's been made from April 1, 2009 until today. Either tomorrow or next weekend I will try and work on doing April 1, 2008 - March 31, 2009. I figure if I can work toward tackling a year in each sitting, it'll only take me three more sessions of this to get it done as this journal was started in February 2006.

You can see my updated tags list here. As I continue to work back through, those tags will get more uses and the list itself will get longer. Also, the entries where I had that service posting my tweets from Twitter? I deleted them all.

I think I marked a great deal more entries and friends only than I had previously, but rants, news links, and assorted stuff are still public (well, were made public again at any rate). I'm going to make a poll post with the updated filters so people can tell me what they'd like to see, though there was at least one filter I went ahead and put a couple of people in.

I told you the shut down was only temporary.

Blargh, now to put on some laundry and move back to the bedroom so I can veg out with a movie or something.

Also, yes, I changed the layout again. Still one from thrashmetal, though.

What counts as a "serious crime"?

Actually, I'm not so sure the crime would be as important as how much it would destroy my trust in my partner. I don't think the relationship could survive finding out the person I thought I knew didn't really exist.

My other response to this question is WAT?
