moved!

2007-07-12T11:43:38Z

YOU GUYS, OVER HERE: starstuttered

i know i suck, and am horribly fickle with this kind of thing, but i promise that i won't move all that soon. this place has been horribly messed up (but kind of in a fuzzy cosy way) and it's time for a clean up. i'm so ridiculously worked up over this. but you know, it's time for change. so, re-friend me please. xx.

everything seems to be a sign that everything else is coming full circle

2007-07-11T03:18:25Z

I wanted to move to astromantic, but the username's taken. Guuhh. I really want to change my URL now. So, I ask you for advice!

i. move over to starstuttered
ii. astrosummer
iii. astroblue
iv. astromannequin
v. or you could just help me think of one! *flaps hand in distress*

FOB Southeast Asian tour, check it out!

SYF showcase yesterday was well, i don't really know how to put it. Feels kind of edging on saddish, but yet I'm all glad it's over. Big hearts for NYCO, please and thank you. I love ssabollec (more than you can imagine) *g*

ahahah 'ah zee' is such a bastard

2007-07-09T07:55:01Z

A) indifference and
B) disinterest with what the critics say

A) MFEO looks like some weird UFO lettering.

B) All of a sudden my braces are annoying the living shit out of me. It's been the tenth time I've chewed on the inside of my cheek by accident and food keeps getting stuck. I paid to get straight teeth that will rot out before I remove my braces. haa haa.

C) I am looking forward to showcase tomorrow. Also kind of dreading it because it'll be our seniors' last meaningful performance with us on stage (charity concert isnt all that meaningful on a personal level, so it doesnt count) and so on.

D) I need to get my act together. Hohum.

E) This is so increasingly disjointed. But hurrah, Guen is going for SINGfest with me :DDD (ILU GUEN!)

destroy midas!

2007-07-07T11:13:59Z

313 is awesome: "the world shall be jealous as we bask in the glory of our success and awesomeness". The conversation on MSN now is killing me. I am choking on apple juice!

Directions:
1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 4-7 sentences on your LJ along with these instructions.
5. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest (unless it's too troublesome to reach and is really heavy. Then go back to step 1).
6. Tag five people.

He trundled away through the woods, the cries of amphibian anguish receding behind him. Served them right, he though, sadly and a little bitterly.

King Log has retired to a villa in the Alps, where he is at present sprouting a fine crop of shitake mushrooms and working on his memoirs, one word at a time. Logs write slowly, and log kings more slowly than most. He has engaged a meditation guru who encourages him to visualise himself as a large pencil, but he can only get as far as the eraser.

He misses the old days.

King Log In Exile, from The Tent by Margaret Atwood. Coincidentally, my bookmark was just at page 123 before I did this quiz. Aha, awesome.

I FEEL SO SUCCESSFUL!

2007-07-06T10:01:04Z

i love 313. yes! our shunxinyuan haunted house was such a success. and we're not bad considering we were rushing everything just last night. but hurrah, people! 640+ dollars! and it was superly fun. anyway.

the next time you do a haunted house, try to classify the people that come in into the following categories. follow me here:

- the superscared people: walk into haunted house all happy and laughing and acting tough. and then the moment the door closes, they walk 2m further and burst into tears. i think i counted a total of 3 people who burst into tears midway.

- the refuse to move people: they have a strange refusal to move or budge or walk. walk in halfway and start screaming about how they want to go out. then turn in the other direction and attempt to walk back, if not they hang around in the centre and stone. and hence, end up wasting everyone's time. baaahhhh.

- the innerd-smearing people: who prod my pig innerds and then smear it on either my pants or victoria's labcoat. baaahhhh.

- the act tough people: who keep laughing and pretending they're not scared. and the moment you make a sudden movement they start screaming and running. baaahhhh.

- the destruction machines: who march around and walk straight into tables and close-to-destroy our partitions. like some fucking marching band in a haunted house.

- the screamy people: who, in my opinion, are kind of psycho. they scream every 5 seconds.

- the tourists: A) i am not all that photogenic, no need to take any photos of me B) are pig and chicken innards that appealing to you that you must keep photos of them as mementos?!?!??!?!?!11one!

- the blind: YES LA WAHLAO THE INTESTINES ARE REAL MEAT. NOT KETCHUP OR RUBBER *HEADDESK*

- the plain mindfucked stupid people: thank you for harassing my intestines and my bare feet. and no, i did not find it funny. it is neither humorous nor intellectual to attempt to tickle a dead person's bare feet. i hope the kick to your stomach caused you some major injury (i.e kidney failure). that is all i have to say.

And this...

- INTESTINES, ZOMGZXXX! What it actually was: pig liver + red paint + chicken slices. it was cold, clammy and disgusting. but more than anything it stank. Now I think i am going to permanently smell pig liver. if anyone was wondering, i was forced into doing this! yea, but i'm not complaining. it was a pretty easy job. my tailbone kind of hurts from lying on the table for the whole fucking span of funfair.

- INTERVALS! in which the bunch of crazy people (who were not weighed down by intestines on their stomachs) gathered in a circle and started dancing to 'Irreplacable' by Beyonce or some other song playing on the PA system outside.

- music video moments. They played Welcome To The Black Parade on the PA system outside and I felt like the fucking Patient. We would have fit into the music video! Except they're a lot more glamorous and less bloody.

- makeup was kind of scary. but tracy is extremely good at it (thanks tracy!) and we ended up all having blobs of eyeliner and running lipstick. Except elysia. she looked like someone out of star wars. I shall not disclose the details as to who it was who caused her serious make up disorder. hahahaha.

- SO MR TAN WAS SO OBVIOUSLY FREAKED OUT.

- for some strange reason, i dont know why, everyone's ultimately just so scared by elysia even though she just stands there and goes 'boo!'.

- $640+ (!!!)

- we must do haunted house again next year.

p/s: SING FEST 150 BUCKS FOR ONE DAY PASS. AAAAAAA WTF.

this marks a double one year anniversary, give or take

2007-07-04T10:40:50Z

'This song is meant to encourage people to stop and look around for a minute, and take a moment for self-relection. Don't be afraid to pursue your dreams. Don't be afraid to patch up meaningless quarrels. Most importantly, don't be afraid to change your life.'

This song.

Happy birthday to The Butcher. Santi!

alright, obvs, we've gone mad.

O HAI. I need something to cheer me up, pfffffftttt.

2007-07-02T14:43:17Z

i. "I just wanted to show him my canons!"
Watched Transformers last night. It is the shit, man. I am a fan. Meganwhatserface is still sluttish. Shia LaBeouf is still babyfaced. I think the autobots are cool beyond all logic and reason. (Bumblebee's a fucking Chevy, and Optimus Prime is one crazy hippie truck.) Also, Simmons reminds me of Gabe. In a the-dude's-totally-off-his-rocker way. I know no one agrees with this, but I think Gabe just gives me weird vibes all the time (in the best way possible *g*) Right. Plus, I like the dude who hangs from trees. I am so going to watch this movie again, who wants to come with?

Oh, in the process they showed The Simpsons Movie and Harry Potter trailers. I am determined to watch The Simpsons Movie, no matter what. Caught a glimpse of simpsonised Mike Dirnt. They did a pretty good job. And ohmygod, spiderpig:

Marge: Hang on, why are there pig tracks on the ceiling?
Homer: Spiderpig, spiderpig, does whatever, a spiderpig can!

ii. Chinese SIA + KAP + funfair shizz
Went to Margaux's house for Chinese SIA today (Miao, Lynn, Luk Wern, Yixian & I). We ended up sitting around pouring over cookbooks and trying to prevent miao from playing trashy music off iTunes. I am just glad that chinese SIA presentation isn't all that soon. It is less screwed than all my other SIAs! *jumpjump*

Then we went to KAP for lunch despite Margaux warning us of McDonald's chicken being 60% skin or something like that. Yixian was sad. (stupid air diet didnt work la you!) Miao is immature. S'all I can say.

Jump to us being in school for funfair. The turnout was kind of less than what I expected, but at least there were people *g* We killed YenJin's barbie dolls. Named them Amy and Uncle&Auntie Avril. Say 'hi' to Amy when you guys reach school tomorrow and see her hanging on our front door. Haaa. Anyway, the neighbors called because we were blasting obnoxiously loud music off youtube. Oops. (I think everyone loves the idlu video.) And such. A lot of other random things. The paint still can't come off my nails.

iii. After school, eye checkup, whatnot
I felt weird today. Kind of not-really-all-there weird. Like gravity wasn't really working on my brain or something. But anyway. Thought a lot about things (this is how I occupy my time on bus rides), and as usual came to almost no conclusion. Bah, whatever. We've got the dreamer's disease, "the AMERICAN dayDREAMer" and things like that. It's pretty stupid and not worth noting. But you can't help but note on change.

AND THEN. Met my mom to go see about my eye again. reviewreview. I was pretty dazed and ended up waiting for her on the wrong side of the road. Remember Maine does such things to you. Or something. Bah. Anyway, my eye is fine. I don't have the TB thing. It will recur, it will happen again, then I will be in complete distress, and thus go see the doctor, and go get eyedrops, and be told of how it might be TB, and the i'll go get better, and see the doctor for a review, and it will recur, and it will happen again. Rinse. Lather. Fucking repeat.

Like I said, i love my life. Go sell fire in hell and I'll sell clouds in heaven. Or wherever fuckers like us go.

...why do I not have Bulls In Brooklyn on my computer?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUIYING!
thank you for never failing to make me/us laugh & for brightening our days all the time. you are beyond special. <3.

I finished reading Radio Radio in less than 24 hours. It's not all that awesome, but for some strange reason I couldn't put the book down. It's like wasting your time hooked on something that's not even cutting your top-20-list.

Watching Transformers later. I think Meganwhatsername is a slutface. I'm only watching it for "Louis Stevens", and the cars and machines and funny gizmos.

the trust junkie who needs a fix

2007-06-29T04:21:15Z

So. It went from bacterial infection to something-like-marginal-keratitis to something-like-or-maybe-is-phlyctenulosis. My eye's a gone case, honestly. It's irritating the living shit out of me. If there's anything to make my day better, there's A) FOE videos B) Godspeed video C) Neighbors Video. All of which are absolutely amazing. And this...

gakked from Nilah:

IPOSTTOOMUCH!

2007-06-26T14:04:32Z

I want to watch "What's Eating Gilbert Grape?" (hurrah for ancient movies on autism) Honestly, Johnny Depp! & Leonardo Dicaprio playing the autistic kid. Oh, oh awesome. <3

& I quote the quotes from IMDB:

Gilbert: We don't really move, we'd like to but...my mom is sort of attached to the house. Attached isn't really the right word, she's pretty much wedged in.

Arnie: I'm having a birthday party, but you're not invited, but you can come if you want.

Momma: You're my knight in shimmering armor. Did you know that?
Gilbert: I think you mean shining.
Momma: No shimmering. You shimmer, and you glow.

2007-06-26T12:23:59Z

"The funny thing is that he seems to have lashed out at us about the make-up. That's weird to me, because I had heard of Alice Cooper before I heard of Marilyn Manson. "I don't know how he could be mad at us. We never came out and said we were going to call ourselves by a girl's name and then a serial killer's name. "I'm really sorry if he feels we ripped him off. It would have been nice if he could have said something to our faces but he's been all smiles every time I've seen him. Maybe he's doing it for the press. Some people just like to talk."

take that, god of fuckshit!

EDIT: oh, oh, The Umbrella Academy! The fact that it's based off Teenagers gives me all the more reason to anticipate!

dadada da dum

2007-06-25T13:39:16Z

solid evidence of the following:
i. clearly, something is fucking with my mind right now.
ii. either i listen to FOB too much for my own good or it's really bugging me that Thnks Fr Th Mmrs is a goddamn radio hit.

so, i get a tooth extraction before lunch. it never strikes me that im not going to be able to have lunch till about 6 in the evening. & yea, after 3 jabs and 2 missing teeth, the first thing i do is PT my way home on a crowded bus with a mouthful of blood that's threatening to leak out at any given moment becausebecausebecause i can't feel my entirely too numb mouth. i love my life.

1) anberlin
2) my chemical romance
3) the academy is
4) taking back sunday
5) boys like girls
6) green day
7) copeland
8) paramore
9) jack's mannequin
10) fall out boy

Q: What was the first song you ever heard by #2 [My Chemical Romance]?
A: "Thank You For The Venom". & to this day i still find it so fitting. i thought they were some crazy shitass hardcore band and just fell in love.

Q: What is your favorite album of #6 [Green Day]?
A: I'd say "American Idiot" or "Warning".

Q: What is your favorite Lyric of #7 [Copeland]?
A: Um, "if it's not too late for coffee, i'll be at your place in ten" or "she said i was the brightest little firefly in her jar".

Q: What is your favorite song by #9 [Jack's Mannequin]?
A: "MFEO". just because.

Q: Is there a song of #1 that makes you sad [Anberlin]?
A: Oh gosh, there's too many to list. But right off the top of my head right now, "Naive Orleans". How can that song not break your heart?

Q: What is your favorite song by #8 [Paramore]?
A: "Born For This". I like the shouting.

Q: What is your favorite song by #10 [Fall Out Boy]?
A: At the moment, it's "XO" and maybe "Hum Hallelujah". "XO" holds too much meaning you know, and the lyrics kill me each time I listen to the song.

Q: What is your favorite album by #8 [Paramore]?
A: "All We Know Is Falling", because I haven't got "Riot!" yet. Plah.

Q: How did you get into #5 [Boys Like Girls]?
A: I have no clue. Probably from hanging around in separate fandoms too much. I also think Purevolume's entirely to blame.

Q: What is your favorite song by #4 [Taking Back Sunday]?
A: "Cute Without the E", "Number Five With A Bullet", "Error: Operator". And I just can't decide when it comes to questions such as this.

Q: Who is your favorite band member of #1 [Anberlin]?
A: I'm going to be a sick teenie here and say Nate. A) He's gorgeous. B) He's crazy. C) He's all kinds of awesome. (I also like Deon a lot tho)

Q: What is a good memory concerning #4 [Taking Back Sunday]?
A: Bunnies. Golf buggies. Snot hanging from Adam's nose. Mic accident leaving Matt Rubano with stitches in his head. Mark's SYTYCD audition video clip. Fred's Led Zeppelin underwear. "ESTUPID!" a la Ed. Plenty, yeah.

Q: What does #9 remind you of [Jack's Mannequin]?
A: Piano keys, lime juice and a lot of other simplebutsweet things.

Q: Is there a song by #3 that makes you sad [The Academy Is...]?
A: "Everything We Had", obv. & strangely enough, "Toasted Skin" makes me feel sad in some strange way. It's like, reminiscent.

Q: What is your favorite song of #1 [Anberlin]?
A: "(*Fin)", at the moment. I can't give a reason. Probably because of the lyrics on that song and how much meaning it holds.

Q: How did you become a fan of #7 [Copeland]?
A: After I went to their show a few weeks ago, they had me won over then and there man. It was amazing.

Q: What do you like to do while listening to #6 [Green Day]?
A: I'm usually on the bus like on the way home/to school when I listen to them. If I ever get the chance to I just rock out.

Q: Which of the 10 has influenced you the most?
A: Probably almost all. I'll have to say either MCR, FOB, TAI or Anberlin. Though my main vote goes to My Chemical Romance. I've listened to them for the longest time (not counting green day). They're just about the first band I listened to when I got into the scene. I've been mad in love with this band ever since. It's so ttly OST to my life right now. And things about this band (their vision, music all of that) make me realise things, about people, about myself and all of that. It's pretty inexplicable. But that's it.

Q: Which artist makes you the most happy?
A: MCR cos I like them the most and they're a bunch of happy people. And even though they're all like 25 or older, they're still like a bunch of happy crazy kids to me. They're too cute.

Q: Which artist makes you the most sad?
A: Copeland. Mostly because of their songs and the whole mood you get from them. "Beneath Medicine Tree" is heartbreaking.

Q: Which artist makes the best dance music?
A: The Academy Is/Fall Out Boy

Q: Which artist have you liked the longest?
A: Green Day. Have loved them ever since American Idiot (i know, youre thinking, what a poser, but i swear im not) and listening to them brings back a lot of good memories and things like that.

Q: Which artist have you liked the shortest?
A: Copeland, i only started liking after I went to their show.

Q: Are there any artists you will still be listening to in 20 years?
A: Those that'll still stick. Probably most of them.

Q: What are you listening to now?
A: "Naive Orleans" by Anberlin. Was previously listening to "Barely Audible" by Home (Nate's side project). You should really check out both Home and Anchor & Braille.

...my icon, ftw. not that i made it, i gakked it from somewhere i cant remember. ohnoes.

2007-06-22T12:28:54Z

TAI. IN SINGAPORE. NATIONAL DAY. I. I. I.

honestly, how are they so awesome? How? I am thanking the natural plane route from Japan to Aus and the other way around. Cos it just gives bands an excuse to stop by here. Then we prove how fucking great a crowd we are. And and and they come back and they BRING FRENZ! YAYYYY. *FLAAAIIILLLL* (and i quote pete) Thank you for giving me something to live on for, for at least one more day :DD

(oh and i just realised what i made this sound like. NO TAI ARE NOT PERFORMING AT NDP FOR GOODNESS SAKE!)

oh, i updated starstutteredwith anberlin icons. go take a looksie if you wish.

a la crappy updates

2007-06-19T14:06:28Z

i. have been forced into writing crappy testimonial-ish things for hanqing on neopets. here! (scrolleth all the way down)

ii. went to jiawen's house for sectional gathering yesterday. I STILL LIKE HER HOUSE. it is enormous and pretty :D and we played Game Of Life. teamed up with jiaying and we are too awesome. With a grand total of $1,700,000 give or take. HO. & we watched Death Note II - follow up to me watching Death Note a whole half year ago (at yiyan's house at xmas/new year) libin & da jas eat a lot, and cant watch any movie without talking. then after the movie we watched spongebob and played bridge/donkey/heart attack/other random card games! while waiting for jiawen and libin to checkmate each other :\ reached home at godawfully late time only to be faced with pissed-off-mom. but hurrah! fun :D

iii. have i mentioned how much i hate the used? they stink as people. (tho i still think jepha's pretty decent, the day jepha bitches is the day that humanity fails DDD::: ) i dont even know who dan whitesides is, but i dont like him already. i mean, which crazy ass band kicks out branden. cool dude who is more good looking than quinn allman. and has awesome moments (03:12) in the All The I've Got video, best video by them by far - it makes me a little whoozy.

iv. have fallen completely in love with mcr/the mcr fandom all over again. am very happy about it. so! not so and maybe picspam next post. but first, this! eee. eeee. eee. (and)HEARTS!

:PP

2007-06-18T05:01:12Z

or is it deux? i dont know. im never going to trust knate's video blogs to teach me french ever again.

right now i've got two giant lumps of gauze stuck in my mouth. along with a lot of metal. it's more the discomfort than pain that's bothering me, but i'll live. and taking everyone's advice i decided to extract only 2 teeth at one time. (jiawen said that there was once a boy who died of excessive blood loss from extracting 4 teeth at once. trish said i wouldnt be able to eat. and my sister just babbled a lot about how i'd be crazy to extract 4 teeth at once.) i got 3 jabs of anesthetic for my tooth extraction. so i cant feel my mouth, or my cheek, or the right side of my nose. i also dont realise when i start drooling. ugh. my braces are blue, btw, pretty cool.

---

ha. but anyway, to quote stephen:

i was watching a smith's DVD and one of the coolest things ever is when some people in the crowd fought (their) way on to stage just to hug morrissey, i thought that was the greatest thing i had ever seen. they weren't getting up on stage to show off or jump off, they were up there just to show the band how appreciative they were of the bands music. i'm so down with that, so if ever you feel the need to jump on stage just grab me, i'll never be mad.

so awh.

oh, and i'm going to do music recs: Take a listen to Copeland's Beneath Medicine Tree. It'll be worth your 30 bucks give or take. It makes me sad. But it's the kind of record you sit around listening to at night in your pjs and like coffee or something. (Which reminds me that Coffee is so lovely a track.)

Yea, anyway, was having fun holidaying with my cousins over the past couple of days. Pretty awesome. We went swimming like two times a day (then again that happens all the time) so chlorine, man. chlorine. and there was a cat that kept hanging around our bbq pit. and i love barbecued fish. and i came back with only 2 mosquito bites (give or take), which is a new record. and that's about it. t'was fun :D i think i wasted a lot of sms-es throughout the span of 3 days trying to contact various people, and also having pointless sms conversations with funkadelicblack and such. but i am glad to be back with cable TV and internet connection. First thing I am going to do is watch Miami Ink tonight, then pester everyone for funfair logistics and/or props, since no one wants to try and be responsive/ible.

and I'm also wondering why no one turned up for Inspire CIP on saturday, anyone care to fill me in? Regina called me 3 times :\ (i whine too much but not enough. pfft)

also, check this out for amazing Godspeed stills. Am going to icon later and perhaps collate everything for posting on anberlin after a join the community, that is. or have i joined already? oh whatever.

andandand video for "The Take Over...", have yet to watch, but i have the inkling it'll be pretty sweet. puppy perspective! i think it's hemingway's lead role debut, since he already appeared in "...Arms Race" (&& andy is cool. andy is just too cool.) it's too awesome. and omg, the "Sell Out Boy" shirts. they are too awesome. *flailflail* and this reminds me that FOB will be on Live Earth on 7th july (happy birthday maureen!) on teevee. *flllaaiiiilll*

one more week and it's term 3. i'm stressing out. bah.

:P

The god of fuck should just please, fuck off. (marilyn manson, if you dont know what im talking about)

& yea, in other news, i am getting my braces done next monday. right now ive got bright bue separators stuck in between my molars and it hurts like fuck when i try to chew anything. but i'll have to extract 4 teeth to get my braces done. Hopefully it won't hurt. And this, regarding braces and tooth extraction, brought to you from mine & hanqing's cellphone inboxes: (approximately and not accurately, cos i just cleared out my inbox. pfft.)

Zee: somethingsomethingaboutpetpages... I'm getting braces this weekend.
Miao: somethingsomething... I'm getting mine at the end of the year.
Zee: I need to extract 4 teeth D:
Miao: ...hahaha. good luck having no teeth.

the people i have for friends, lol.

I love fandom. I don't think I've ever mentioned this before. But I am going to ramble. Because seriously, I love fandom. The bands are so amazing, and the fans, come on, we're pretty awesome fans sometimes. (I promise to never blatantly express my dislike for a teeny mcr fan again) and by this I especially mean MCR fandom, because come October, I have officially loved this band for two years. <3. (yes, and i dont care if theyre emo or slashy and ghei or negative or if marilyn manson hates the shit out of them cos i hate the shit out of marilyn manson. sometimes people dont see past media hype or stereotype. they dont consider how much a band and their music can bring people together and can change/save someone's life. id like to see the critics do that.)

yay for all that. and frank! frank has curly (slightly)(and brown!) hair!

what? dont pin your hopes on me!

the only flow you'll ever need to follow is that on the rivers of your palm. and honestly, am i that easy to read? i recently realised that i no longer know the words to "I'm Not Okay (Trust Me)", got kind of bummed about it. But I figured I'll take a peek at the CD booklet later. Yea, that and my sister just said, "Hahaha, you're an Anberin fan now." & I felt like I joined the scene particularly late or something. which reminds me that BLG just went on radio today, i think. heard it when i was in the shower, and i sang along without realising.

lets face it, whoever wasnt worth bringing along, ive left behind. these friends are, new friends are golden. (& as for the old friends who still stick around? they fucking glitter. <3) (thank you for sticking arond)

i! can turn those grey skies blue!

So. Elizabethtown is going down as one of my favorite movies of all time. For the following reasons.

A) Orlando Bloom (yes, so predictable) ( pooooof is probably going mad now) in a role that does not require swords or weird armor. This is a rare occurence, mind you.
B) Samson the screaming kid. Cos, geez, he is adorable.
C) Charlie, the very minor role dude, who has an uncanny resemblance to P. Stump. When he popped out from the side of the screen, I went all: "Whoa - did patrick make a cameo or something?" But you know, the resemblance scares me. It's like chubby dude with sideburns. And dorky glasses. And rambly. Very rambly.
D) the appearance of ' the road paved with good intentions'.
E) Drew Baylor's ringtone: I CAN TURN THOSE GREY SKIES BLUE!
F) & the concepts and stuff of the show. So adorable. It's all nice and sweet and melty, you know. The finer things and somewhat like that.

Right. The guy who lives in the block across the road from our house is stealing water from the pipes again. My dad is attempting to get a photo to send in to HDB or Town Council or something. I've also just recently got my hands on Copeland's Beaneath Medicine Tree. It's awesome, and oh-so-sugar-sweet.

all the shows were amazing but in singapore we played a small acoustic secret show at a really cool club called hope. i think absolutely everyone was singing along because i couldn't even hear myself singing. in life that is going to go down as one of the greatest shows for me personally. i could not stop smiling the entire time. we all made a promise to each other to translate more of our songs to acoustic guitars because we did not want that night to stop at all. - Stephen's blog @ buzznet

oh, sure, stephen. go ahead and make me feel even more sour about not being able to go for the secret show. ...but naw, im glad they had a good time and all. aaa, dreamy. gone on an anberlin/copeland/anchor&braille-only playlist lately. it has strange haunting after effects. <3.
