Burning candles and starlight...

Mad World ~ Gary Jules

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world mad world

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
Made to feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me

And I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell youI find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very mad world ... mad world
Enlarging your world
Mad world

I think this was one of the best weekends I've had since I moved here. And I have Amber to thank for it all starting. Since my post about being lonely and becoming reclusive again, then her talking me into karaoke on Wednesday I haven't stopped moving. Karaoke on Wednesday, 70 and Allen's place on Thursday, Geoff and Brianna's party on Friday, Casino Royal on Saturday, and writing a kick ass movie with Lisa and Jordan today. Guys, I swear it's gonna be the best thing since Dog Soldiers.

So, I realized that sobriety at AKA house parties is almost as interesting as inebriation. People there are so much fun to just watch sometimes. Mind you if I had had a choice I would have been passed out on the floor as drunk as the rest of ya... but I did enjoy the party none the less. Ninja sex with Kitty and Maddie was the best.... Ah to sleep in a bed, eh Jordan? Mwahaha!

I am addicted to this song though. Mad World by Gary Jules is fantastic. I love how it is just so simple and elegant. When I first saw Donnie Darko and heard it I have adored it and didn't get the actual song onto my computer until tonight. I have CSI on mute and I've listened to the song about 4 times now. I've decided that I'm going to burn the songs that are put into the beginning of each post onto a CD as soon as I hit like 15 or something. I'm sure anyone who is watching my playlist tracker on MSN right now is thinking I'm a nut case or something.....

Anyways, I'm looking forward to presenting our storyboard to the class and such tomorrow. Hopefully I can manage to get Jordan and Lisa in my workshop group or it just won't be as cool to present.

I'm feeling kinda bad right now though. I was going to call Andy tonight because I was talking to him through Richard earlier and I said I would, but then I got caught up in trying to make a friend feel better because he was feeling really down. I looked at the clock when he went offline and it was 10:45 pm. I cursed myself. If I call after 9 then Mitch is in bed and I don't want to wake him up. I'll call him tomorrow, but I'm sure that right now he's feeling pretty down, especially since he wasn't in a great mood earlier. I was really looking forward to talking to him too.

So now that I'm on my 6th time of listening to Mad World, I'm going to finish off this post. I hope everyone had fun on the weekend like I did.
