Trogdor strikes again!
Reading through all of y'alls posts made me remember something funny that happened last night.
my dad's back from HK so naturally we went to have a little family dinner.. at congee wong
and who's sitting beside us..? i donno.. some white dude and chinese guy
what are they talking about..? yes that's right.. the
homestarrunner website.. in particular.. strong bad
here are some excerpts from that conversation:
"man i must've gotten all the computer class hooked.. then i'll be walking down the halls and hear someone going 'trogdor strikes again' and i'll be like.. ohhh.. man that must've been the 700th time!" (im not sure if he said trogdor strikes again but.. hey it's the most likely one)
"man i want to get some homestarrunner gear"
"yea dude..!! i want to get like a strongbad T-shirt where it looks like his chest"
"yea that's nice.. i want to get like.. the homestarrunner star T-shirt.. u know what i mean?"
"oh yea i do..that's nice.. have u seen their store?"
"have u seen ballad of the cheat? well except it was the sneak.. my favourite is "something something" (cant remember) and strongbad sings"
"u know marzipan's answering machine? there's one where she's like bonjournio leave a messagio.. and then coach Z asks if they're friends coz he made a move on her (err.. well.. he was actually quoting the thing.. like exactly i think.. i cant remember it tho.. ohh and he quoted the next one too.. exactly) and then strong bad calls her and tells her she's won a million *punches in the face*.. come out now to get your one million *punches in the face*.. im waiting outside in the bushes!"
"so what's your favourite strongbad email?"
"trogdor!"
"okay well.. except for trogdor" (i guess it IS everyone's favourite.. not mine tho.. go anime go!)
"ohh.. well let's see.. there's this anime one.. it's so funny coz it's so.. like anime........*trails off into stuff i couldn't hear/remember*"
there was more but.. those were some highlights... err yea.. eavesdropping is bad but.. uhh.. they were right next to me..!! it was difficult not to hear.. and.. remember.. haha
in conclusion.. i was quite amazed.. that site's a lot more popular than i thought..~
chantal kreviazuk.. ever heard of her? i think she's an amazing canadian artist for her musical talent and unique vocals
and why this sudden blurb about her? well if y'all know she has a new cd out and so does the made-over Jewel. i like their new stuff very much but i have their very first cds as well and i was a big fan of them back then too and decided to listen to those cds again and do a comparison.
and now i remember what i like them for: their originality. i have to admit tho, when i bought those cds i wasn't at the level where i could understand/appreciate them.. but i so do now
if any of you have jewel's first cd, take a listen again.. her lyrics are so full of art.. and tho the song "adrian" is depressing it's a beautiful piece of work.. i think my favourite of the whole cd
as for chantal, not such a drastic change but going back to her first cd, a little rough around the edges in terms of lyrics but still a good listen and certain songs really hit home.
anyways.. i'll post one of my favourites up on here :)
Imaginary Friend
It scares me to speak my mind
It might sound self-absorbed
I don't say half of what i think.
I wonder what i'm thinkin' for
I'm smelling dead flowers
And listening to the walls again
I'm drinking from a leaky faucet
And writing this with a dried up pen
Wish i still had my imaginary friend
And who needs to listen, well...
What do i have to sell
Everyone's just waitin for their own turn
Kind of like show and tell
Someone to listen
Someone to laugh
Someone to cry at the right times
And i would call him up
But i don't remember his name
so summer isn't turning into at all what i had planned.. and for good reasons which we wont go into
but i guess all this free time has summed up to a lot of thinking and reading.. of other ppl's blogs that i just stumbled upon.. and there's one that's a particularly good read.. well for me.. coz im a girl.. and deep down all girls have had fairy tale dreams and at some point in their mature life, have also had those dreams shattered.
well here's the
LibraryPrincess' site for those of you interested. lots about ex-boyfriends and such an eloquent writer. i wish i could write like that~
and after reading all that you're still left with the impression that no matter what happens to this girl relationship wise and her self proclaimation to being cynical and jaded.. u can still see the hope for that fairy tale romance peeking out from behind the blinds
and i suppose.. that's how a lot of girls are these days.. i'll never be like her and be able to share all those emotions with other people so freely and publicly.. but i will know me for me forever.
No matter how many bad breaks in relationships there's going to be.. i'll never be able to hide behind being cynical and "full of experience" but i'll always be idealistic.. and hope and keep faith in that..
i guess i have to add in here that i'll always believe that God will take care of me.. and anything and everything that happens will be for a reason.. even if i cant understand it now.. im sure it'll be revealed to me when i get older and wiser in years
everyone's got an amazing story to tell.. drama included..
