Makes me want to give mankind a beating...

Hey.

So, on friday night I went to the DRESDEN DOLLS CONCERT with Kat and Sofie! It was fun fun fun. :P We dressed like pretty gothic dolls, and my skirt was very puffy and c'est adorable. The Dresden Dolls fucking rock.

I realized, that their song "Gravity" reminds me of my sister....



Gravity plays favorites, I know it 'cause I saw.
Honest to God officer it's awful. [Awful..]
Down at work I'm getting too familiar with the floor
Trading in my talents by the mouthful.

Hate to break it to you but it's out of my control
Forces go to work while we are sleeping. [Sleeping...]
If I could attack with a more sensible approach
Obviously that's what I'd be doing.
RIGHT?!

Someone tell her, someone get her up!

Now!
Necks are cracking sideways,
Hit me from the back side.
I am on the white side,
You are on the black side.

Cut a piece that's bite size,
Shoot me from my good side.
If you got a straight line,
This would be a good time.

Gravity works slowly if you notice it at all.
Some of us are getting mighty lucky, aren't we?
If you had to live with this you'd rather lie than fall,
You think I can't fly? Well you just watch me. Watch me!

Someone tell her, someone get her up!

You can do it.
Good girl! (A,B,C,D..)
[Right!] Right foot!
[Left!] left foot!
That's just the way we showed you.
Back of the car!
Someone's in our seats, dad!
Posture, oh oh oh..
Posture, oh oh
Look, I think she's gone..
Oh my god I'm gonna see if she's moving, okay?

I think we've lost her!

Necks are cracking sideways,
Hit me from the back side.
I am on the thin side,
You are on the fat side.
Cut a piece that's bite size,
Shoot me from my bad side.
If you want a straight line,
This would be a good time!

The sky's always falling down on me.
The sky's always falling.. falling..
The sky's always falling down on me.
So officer, forgive me please!

And this song, (they didn't sing it at the concert, but still a great song) really makes me want to cry: Colorblind



I love you like a brother
and I love you like a child.
and I love you like a lover.
and I love you dumb and
Colorblind.

and I love you like a mother.
Even after all you've done.
and I love you like no other.
But I know
You're not the one...

and I loved you in bright orange.
and in violet and in green.
and I loved you in such colors.
as your eyes have never ever seen.

and I loved the way you acted.
But your one trick pony's dead.
and I loved you unprotected.
But you only love in...

Red.

I know it's dark for good.
I never listen when I should.
You only see in black and white.
So go on back to your own kind and I'll..
go back to mine.

I love you like a brother.
and I ove you like a child.
and I love you like a lover.
and I love you dumb and colorblind.
and I love you like a mother.
Even after all she's done.
and I love you like no other
But I know you're not the one...

So there's that one! And for another one, they opened with "Good Day"



So you don't want to hear about my good song?
You don't want to hear about how I'm getting on...
With all the things that I can get done
The sun is in the sky and I am by my lonesome.
So you don't want to hear about my good day?
You have better things to do than to hear me say.

God it's been lovely day. Everything's been going my way.
I took out the trash today, and I'm on fire...

So you don't want to hear about my good friends?
You don't have the guts to take the truth or consequence.
Success is in the eye of the beholder.
and it's looking even better over your cold shoulder.

I'm not suggesting you get to line me up for questioning.
But jesus, think about the bridges you are burning
And I'm betting
that even though you knew it from the start
I'd rather be a bitch than be an ordinary broken heart.

So go ahead and talk about your bad day...
I want all the details of the pain and misery.
That you are inflicting on the others
I consider them my sisters and I want their numbers.

God it's been a lovely day. Everything's been going my way.
I took up croquet today, and I'm on fire.

I picked up the pieces of my broken ego.
I have finally made my peace as far as you and me go.
But I'd love to have you up to see the place.
I'd like to do more than survive, I'd like to rub it in your face!

Hey! It's been a lovely day! Everything's been going my way.
I had so much fun today and I'm on fire.
God it's been a lovely day... Everything's been going my way
Ever since you went away, hey I'm on fire.
I'm on fire
I'm on fire

So you don't want to hear about my good day?

And they closed with a really fucking awesome song: Girl Anachronism



You can tell
from the scars on my arms
and the cracks in my hips
and the dents in my car
and the blisters on my lips
that I'm not the carefullest of girls

you can tell
from the glass on the floor
and the strings that're breaking
and I keep on breaking more
and it looks like I am shaking
but it's just the temperature

and then again
if it were any colder I could disengage
if I were any older I could act my age
But I don't think that you'd believe me.

It's
not
the
way
I'm
meant
to
be
it's just theh way the operation made m.

and you can tell
from the state of my room
that they let me out too soon
and the pills that I ate
came a couple years too late
and I've got some issues to work through.
There I go again
pretending to be you
make-believing
that I have a sould beneath the surface
trying to convince you
it was accidentally on purpose

I am not so serious
this passion is a plagiarism
I might join your century
but only on a rare occasion.
I was taken out
before the labor pains set in and now
behold the world's most worst accident
I am the girl anachronism.

and you can tell
by the red in my eyes
and the bruises on my thighs
and the knots in my hair
and the bathtub full of flies
that I'm not right now at all.
there I go again
pretending that I'll fall
Don't call the doctors
Cause they've seen it all before
They'll say just
let
her
crash
and
burn
she'll learn
the attention just encourages her.

and you can tell
from the full-body cast
that I'm sorry that I asked
though you did everything you could
(like any decent person would)
but I might be catching so don't touch
you'll start believing you're immune to gravity and stuff
Don't get me wet
because all the bandages will all come off.

And you can tell
from the smoke at the stake
that the current state is critical
Wel it is the little things, for instance:
In the time it takes to break it she can make up ten excuses:
Please excuse her for the day, it's just the way the medication makes her...

I don't necessarily believe there is a cure for this
So I might join your century but only as a doubtful guest
I was too precarious removed as a caesarian
behold the worlds worst accident
I AM THE GIRL ANACHRONSIM

That's a LONG song.. Also reminds me of my sister. -_-

So yeah. The dresden dolls is a band with a girl and a guy. The girl sings and plays piano, the guy plays drums. It sounds boring, but it is actually quite amazing and original and very wicked awesome. You can get some of their songs live at www.automaticjoy.com , I reccommend:
Girl Anachronism
Gravity
Coin-Operated Boy
Missed Me
Good Day
Half Jack
Bad Habit
Colorblind
Truce

To name a few. ^^ Enjoy.

So tonight Seth and I went to the USS Nightmare!!! It was quite a journey there.... but we finally found it. And in the very beginning, this guy jumped out at us and we were so scared and clutching onto eachother, and we backed up into this wall, but it wasn't a wall. It was an emergency exit door, and the door opened so we fell over hugging eachother. *laughs* it was so funny. The guy was trying so hard to stay scary and not to laugh...

Okay well. :P fun weekend. Catch you all on the flip side! ^^ avoir
