Well at least I hope you do!

I’ve decided to hop onto the Facebook Page wagon and create one. I know you love me, so go ahead and be my fan! (Please?) :)

Till next time world.

I’ve reached the second stage, and yes, I’ll bite you in the face if I have to. Try not to piss me off until I’ve reached the fourth stage.

On a lighter note, I’ve really taken to blogging again; a few months ago this blog was almost abandoned, and now I can’t stop posting! Aren’t you the luckiest readers ever? (I need the ego boost.)

Till next time world.

Heart Of…

May 15th 2008 by Sou in Fun, Personal, Music, Creative, YouTube, French 9

So it’s a little obvious I’ve been obsessing over anything French lately, I know. Hey, whatever helps me brush up on my almost non-existent French skills!

Anyway, I was listening to yet another Françoise Hardy song, Comment Te Dire Adieu, and I absolutely loved this part:

Mon coeur de silex vite prend feu.
Ton coeur de pyrex résiste au feu.

Haha! I mean isn’t that the cutest thing ever?! It translates to: “My Silex heart is flammable, your Pyrex heart is fire resistant.”

Sad but true.

So what’s your heart made of? Silex or Pyrex?

Tickle Me….Red

I was at CBTL with Amethyst, D and R this afternoon after class, and Amethyst, hit my arm. That evil, evil woman hit me!

Yes, that’s her hand print on my arm!

Another day in the life of Sou. Oh how thrilling!!!

Leaving you with a song by an artist D recommended to me; The Way I Am by Ingrid Michaelson. Enjoy!

Band-aided Fingertips

May 12th 2008 by Sou in Personal, Crazy, University 16

I’m wincing in pain as I type this out.

I’ve gone and done the stupid thing of biting off all my nails down to the flesh. I blame it on my weak self-control and bloody stress. The pain is unbelievable, and I’m literally wincing in pain! I have nobody to blame but myself. The worst part about this, is the fact that I’ve got a bloody research paper to write. Rashisha suggested I band-aid my fingertips to refrain from biting my non-existing nails any further. If anything, it’s added to my discomfort, but hey, I can’t bite through the band-aid, so it’s working.

Oh, and can someone explain to me why it’s so bloody complicated to find out how to get a visa to go to Dubai?!!! I mean for crying out loud!!! How many phone transfers does one have to endure?!! Oh, and so far, I’ve received five different methods on how to obtain a visa, and every single one bloody clashes against the other! I’m a heartbeat away from giving up…actually, you know what. Screw it, it’s Monday evening, and I was planning on flying out Friday morning; seriously, screw it. I might as well stay here and finish off my bloody research paper, and wince in pain as I type.

AND IF THAT’S NOT ENOUGH; the other day my professor said: “I feel sorry for the man who’ll end up with you.” Yeah?! Well the last time I checked he was my professor, not my matchmaker! I mean seriously. WHAT THE BLOODY HELL’S GOING ON?!!

An excess use of “bloody” and italics. Yes, I’m very pissed off.

Till next time world.

When Good Girls Turn Bitter

May 10th 2008 by Sou in Personal, Crazy 13

Please remind me why I’m missing out on this. Oh, wait, no…I know why I’m missing out, and whose fault it is.

You know, this isn’t doing anything but making me an extra bitter woman.

I WANT TO GO! I BLOODY WANT TO GO, DAMN IT!!!!!!

“For You, A Thousand Times Over”

May 9th 2008 by Sou in Personal, Movies, Books, YouTube 17

I watched The Kite Runner last night.

I can’t get “for you, a thousand times over” out of my head, I just can’t. Both times they were said in the movie made me tear.

2007_the_kite_runner_016.jpg

Overall it was a great movie; unfortunately, I can’t really remember the exact details of the book because I read it back in 2005. If you haven’t watched the movie, then go out and read the book - yes read it first then watch the movie.

2007_the_kite_runner_001.jpg

As I was watching the trailer to embed in the post, I actually cried. To most it might not be considered a tear-jerking movie, but it is…oh it really is. From Amir and Hasan’s close relationship, to the guilt Amir lives with for turning his back away from Hasan when he needed his help the most, and basically the rest of the major events that occur throughout the movie.

I’m aware this post isn’t exactly very coherent, but this beats trying to write my research paper.

On Est Bien Peu De Chose

May 9th 2008 by Sou in Personal, Music, YouTube, French 8

If only I could put in words how much I hate her right now.
If only I could put in words how much I hate him right now.

I might use the word ‘hate’ to express my dislike in general, but I don’t usually mean it in the literal sense. However, this time I mean it; I mean it in every possible way. Call me bitter, call me a child, call me a bitch. I don’t care.

Hatred is a wasted emotion, but I can’t help but feel this way.

I want to cry.
I want to scream.
I want to laugh.

I want peace of mind.

What’s going to happen now?!

Leaving you with Mon Amie La Rose by Francoise Hardy. It’s an absolutely beautiful French song from the 70s, and the lyrics are sad, yet very beautiful. You’ll find the French and English lyrics at the end of the post (the second verse is my favourite). Enjoy.

Refrain:

On est bien peu de chose 
Et mon amie la rose 
Me l’a dit ce matin.

Chorus: 

We are truly insignificant
And that’s what my friend the rose
Told me this morning

Couplet I - 

A l’aurore je suis née 
Baptisée de rosée.
Je me suis épanouie
Heureuse et amoureuse
Aux rayons du soleil
Me suis fermée la nuit

Me suis réveillée vieille. 
Pourtant j’étais très belle 
Oui, j’étais la plus belle 
Des fleurs de ton jardin.

Verse 1:

I was born at dawn
Baptised in dew
I blossomed
In the rays of the sun
Happy and in love
I closed my petals at night

And when I awoke I was old.
Yet I had been beautiful
Yes, I was the most beautiful
Of all the flowers in your garden

Refrain II - 
On est bien peu de chose 
Et mon amie la rose 
Me l’a dit ce matin.

Chorus:

as before

Couplet II - 
Vois le Dieu qui m’a faite 
Me fait courber la tête, 

Et je sens que je tombe 
Et je sens que je tombe 
Mon coeur est presque nu, 
J’ai le pied dans la tombe,
Déjà je ne suis plus.
Tu m’admirais que hier

Et je serais poussière 
Pour toujours demain. 

Verse 2
See, the God that made me
Now makes me bow my head

And I feel I’m falling
And I feel I’m falling
My heart is almost bare
I have a foot in my grave
Already I am nothing
You admired me only yesterday

And I shall be dust
Forever, tomorrow

Refrain III - 
On est bien peu de chose 

Et mon amie la rose 
Est morte ce matin.

Chorus:
We are truly insignificant
And my friend the rose 

Died this morning

Couplet III - 
La lune cette nuit 
A veillé mon amie 

Moi en rêve j’ai vu 
Eblouissante et nue 
Son âme qui dansait 
Bien au-delà des nues
Et qui me souriait. 
Crois celui qui peut croire. 

Moi, j’ai besoin d’espoir, 
Sinon je ne suis rien.

Verse 3
Last night the moon
Kept vigil over my friend

And in a dream I saw
Her soul, dancing
Dazzling and naked,
Above the heavens,
Smiling on me.
Let those who can, believe

But I need Hope
Or else I am nothing

Slow Down You Crazy Child

May 7th 2008 by Sou in Personal, Music 9

There’s nothing like eating mama’s homemade kibbeh when I’m feeling super low.

I had an insanely shitty day. No, I don’t want to write about it.

Leaving you with one of my favourite songs of all time; it’s one of those songs that serves as an invisible hand that pats me on the shoulder, reassuring me that no matter how bad life gets, things are going to be alright. Leaving you with Vienna by Billy Joel.

Where’s the fire, what’s the hurry about?
You better cool it off before you burn it out.
You got so much to do, and only
So many hours in a day.

Till next time world.
