I've got words that destroy, words that build..I've got words that go bump in the night..*
*Title taken from Ben Lee's 'Get Gotten'.
His album 'Awake Is The New Sleep' is my album of the fortnight!
Of late I've been thinking of lines that I've heard or read or said...sometimes seemingly innocuous lines that just seem to stick in your head..'know what I mean? And if you do, then you'll also know that along with the content..it's the way they were said..
I'm gonna share some of the ones that have settled down and made my mind and heart their permanent home.
[Psst..some of them are of a personal nature..so don't worry if you don't get it...this post is more for me than it is for you =)
Also...some of these lines may be from some of you..I won't name names too much..and I hope you don't mind :D
'Your absence runs through me,
Like thread through a needle.
It is stitched in everything I do..'
[Read this in some obscure book of poems..I think I may have butchered it a bit but I like my version better :P]
'I wanna get you..so get gotten...'
-Ben Lee 'Get Gotten' [I love this song man. And this line- how simple is it? It's straight up and no frills! It's straight to the point, baby!]
'All I smell are strawberries when you're around..'
- :)
'You're the sort of woman a guy would want to make his wife, and then continue having affairs with his wife..just because you're you.'
-Paraphrased at the end :) but it made me laugh so hard!
'I'll keep in touch..I promise'
- *cough* bullfaeces, but still.
'You're the Great Pretender, Mahi'
-Thanks, Dad.
'I should've just taken the blue pill.'
-Matrix fans- you know what I mean with this one.
'... and what hurt the most
was the fact
that you never looked back...'
- I just came across Saltwater Blues and saw this..just beautiful.
'Okay so you don't feel the same way about me now.....but you will :)'
-Me..being supremely cocky..and supremely right. I know, I know. Don't worry it already came back to bite me in the ass.
'Marriage is the union between two forgivers'
-Told to me by a friend's mother..It makes me slightly wary and uncomfortable.
'Nooo don't corner me! Why are you forcing your number on meeeee?'
- LOL. (I get this a lot :P)
'I have seen days,
When you're smile goes on forever..'
-From Pete Murray's 'Smile'. I have seen smiles that seem to never end. And sometimes that's enough and it's all you can hope for.
There's more but I'm sleepy..and nostalgic and missing a lot of people.
G'nite all
:)
Have a fabulous weekend!

I love that Ben Lee line! Fabulous!
The strawberry one reminds me of my lil' chica who runs to smell me after a shower because she says I smell of apples! Who knew? ;-)

I like the 'keep in touch' line, just cause it always means the exact opposite. (when said to me anyways)
