whooo! :D I LOVE THE DOCTOR! :D
my favourite band for most of my teenage years and into my early twenties (god it makes me feel seventy just saying that), is releasing their fifth album soon.
i remember when a friend of mine turned me onto their music when i was a mere fifteen, when they looked like this:
it was like a revolution. or something. i thought it was very cool that they were the same age as i was and doing something wicked like making music that they wanted to and making money doing it. i really liked their music too. after i got out of the scary christian school that i went to, and freely started listening to decent music (like Smashing Pumpkins, Everclear, etc), i started going to silverchair's shows and just felt like i was part of something. when i had access to the internet i chatted in their "official" chat room (though i don't know if it was ever really official), and made a lot of friends, some of which i still have today. I went to Australia. and i spent a wicked amount of time obsessed with this band and especially their singer, Daniel. it makes me feel so OLD now to think that those days are over and done with.
but ring in the new, right? what with their new album, "Young Modern" coming out soon, (see this link for a preview), and them looking like this :
it makes me feel just... i don't know. it was a huge, HUGE chunk of my life. a part i don't want to part with, but have packed up and moved aside. it's funny how when you're a kid you grab onto these rockstars and hold onto them like they're your own. i think it's still true for most people today, i think, whether it be with a song or a group or a movie or something. but when you're a kid with ruthless abandon and alot of time on your hands, you hold on to something so tightly... i wanted to run away with their tour. I laugh now thinking about that. wow. i have changed since i was seventeen. where did ten freaking years go?
no more sitting here and making with the sad. a new album is good news! :D
i've decided to start using this blog in a constructive matter. Apart from answering the various "Quotes of the Day", i've decided to post my creative ventures here. Cooking counts, doesn't it?
Bettina and I have decided to start cooking a new recipe once a week. im going to take pictures for posterity because, well, i hate to cook and i think this is something worth blogging about, certainly. so here is tonight's venture.
It was Macaroni and Cheese Pie :
we decided, after eating some of it, that in the future we needed to add some of our own seasoning to it, as it was a little bland. but it has ham, broccoli, macaroni and cheese, of course, and eggs and stuff. it was tres yummy, aside from not having much flavour to it.
What were your New Year's resolutions for 2006? How did you do?
i try not to make resolutions. because i never end up keeping them. i did end up losing something like 15 lbs though. that was good.
give me good gingery things.
Show us who you'd like to kiss under the mistletoe.
George Weasley! (the one on the left), preferably. :D but i'll most likely give my dad a kiss under the mistletoe. such is the life of a crazy spinster such as myself.
Do you have a nervous habit?

What song best describes your current mood?
Submitted by Section31.
"Mad World" by Gary Jules. it always describes me. i know everyone was expecting a song by Something for Kate, but i DO listen to other music. :D
