What to say...what to say...
DVD movies rock. VHS suck because they take up too much room, and no one wants them on eBay. I think I have too much media-wise, but that way if I want to see something I don't need to run to the store and rent something.
As lame as it sounds, I am one of the people who can watch a movie more than once. I know I didn't inherit that trait from my mother or father. (Insert eerie music) I honestly think sometimes I was adopted. Really, it would answer alot of things. lol
The same goes for books. I have one book I have read over 50 times, and I doubt I could ever replace it...which is a shame because it is falling apart.
It is called The Faraway Lurs by Harry Behn. Copyrighted in 1963, printed in 1976. It was supposed to be a historical story about his mother's family, and somehow the story became something else because of a burial mound that was found in Norway, when unearthed, the remains inside showed to be at the crux between the stone age and the bronze age.
For a short time after the mound was excavated, and the oak log opened to show the treasure within was the faint outline of a girl, probably not even 16 years old. The only thing left of her was the very outside of her skin, which dried out fast and had the consistency of ash as it dried...it puffed away.
Her hair and fingernails were all that was left, and the bronze belt buckle (her clothing had long since eroded away, because of the acidity of the oak log she was buried in) and
there was a wooden pail that had traces of herbs and a poison, suggesting that she may have been a sacrifice.
Someone thought she was important enough to be buried in an enormous mound, denoting that she was the daughter of a chieftain or someone else as important because only chieftains and other warriors had ever been found in such mounds.
Either way, this book was very cool, and I am trying to find another copy, because this one I have is going the way of the dodo bird.

On a differant note, it has been far too long since I have been out for Karoke. I love singing Evanessence. My Immortal was my first triumph, now I am working on Bring Me To Life. (Was told by a friend listening to me against my computer that he had trouble telling me from the speakers.

Oh to be able to have a personal meaning for these lyrics...
EVANESCENCE
"Bring Me To Life"
(feat. Paul McCoy)
how can you see into my eyes like open doors
leading you down into my core
where Ive become so numb
without a soul
my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
until you find it there and lead
it
back...
home
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I cant wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I cant wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing Ive become...
now that I know what Im without
you can't just leave me
breathe into me and make me real
bring me to life
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I cant wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I cant wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing Ive become
Bring me to life
(I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)
Bring me to life
frozen inside without your touch
without your love
darling
only you are the life among the dead
all this time I can't believe I couldn't see
kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
Ive been sleeping a thousand years it seems
got to open my eyes to everything
without a thought without a voice without a soul
don't let me die here
there must be something more
bring me to life
(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I cant wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I cant wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing Ive become
(Bring me to life)
Ive been living a lie, theres nothing inside
(Bring me to life)
To Live is to dream
To dream is to hope
To hope gives the promise
of being alive. ~me

It is a curse for me. I know I should sleep, but right now I have about a zillion things going through my mind.
As a kind of joke I bought a bottle of Royal Bitch Reserve Merlot. I thought "I have to try this. See what a Real Bitch tastes like." lol Pretty delish. *grins*
This is the last glass from a few days ago. If I still need assistance getting sleepy, I have one more to fall back on, though closer to my favorite. Tiziano Chianti. Don't think I will need that though. I certainly hope not...
wHoOt!!!
I found it on eBay!
*happy dances all over the page*
I think it is the same as the book I have too. There is a 1982 edition, but I found the one published by Avon and the one I have now, that is all but dust, was published by Avon.
So, this will make it about...book #301 LMAO
