Blog like you're Charlie ~ --Tell us about your best friend.

It's crazy how time flies but this week was so fucking long. It's the last day of this challenge( I hope no one is gonna extend it ) and I can't wait to get back to my head *Laugh*. What are we talking about today? Oh, best friend. I think everyone realized by now that Jordan is my best friend because I mentioned him so many times in my previous blog "Invalid Item. I've met Jordan like six years ago when I've been kicked out of my house. He offered me to stay at his place for a while and we just kept being friends after that. I had some people with who I hung before, there was Noah who was older than me and I was basically stick to him the most. After I moved from state I just didn't see him anymore because we're far from each other now. We do talk over the phone sometimes though but not so often. I could talk about Kira here as well but that's just different thing. Kira is more like girly version of me, she's super into all stuff that I am and she doesn't even look like that. You would never tell if you see her what she's into. She is the most coolest girl that I know in my entire life.
However, I'll talk about Jordan because I know him longer than I know Kira and it's kind of reasonable. I don't really know how to explain him, he's not another version of me though we're into same stuff, music and all that. He is always super positive and supportive, unlike me, when I loose my shit. I thought we're just gonna be seasonal because I moved a lot before but we just got closer. I think he is the only person who completely understand me, want to understand me, forced to understand me..whateva. Sometimes we used to spend a whole day lying in bed, listening to music and when we hear some song we'd be like, dude, I didn't hear this forever and we would end up singing lyrics or fooling around. He is pretty much fun to hang with all the time. We've been through all kind of shit and I cannot imagine my life without him now. We're closer now more than ever. I think I can put all my trust in him so, that's Jordan.

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

Blog party--Farewell Party Playlist
Last day!
This one can be for a going away party, a graduation party, or anything else you can think of, as long as it means 'farewell' to you.

Awww this week was so much fun. I know you guys have more in common when it comes about music but I loved all your entries. I listened to some songs and groups that I haven't listened before and it was really great. So, I was thinking about this prompt before I'll go to sleep last night and I thought..hmm..farewell party of what?? Well, we wont really say farewell to each other, we'll just say bye for now and bye to this blogging challenge. I came up with the idea; I'm gonna list all of my favorite songs from every entry of yours and mine as well *Bigsmile*. Well, at least those who successfully finished the challenge. Isn't that great idea? Here we go:

Day 1., House Party

1. Scarlet Begonias, Sublime  --Cinn choice on house party. Well, I like this song because.. I never listen to 'Sublime' before. Maybe I run into some of their songs before but I didn't know who's singing it. I like it.

2. Song 2, Blur  --I so want to cry now because I forgot to include WOOOHOOO song at my house party *Sob*. It should be required in any future house parties from now on.I hope Fivesixer covered me here after I've been kicked out from the party by myself.

3. Jump Around, House of Pain  --If I have to choose from my own blog entry I would single out 'Jump Around' because that was my best choice in the entry I think.

Day 2., Outer Space Party

1. Sleepy, Gong  --Kylie's choice on outer space party and I agree so much. It sounds cosmic and.. sleepy *Bigsmile*.

2. Pump Up The Volume, MARS  --I'm sure we wouldn't embarrassed ourselves if little green creatures invited us to party with them and if Norb is the DJ *Laugh*.

3. Intergalactic, Beastie Boys  --Just because it should be on every outer space party. No excuse.

Day 3., Tea Party with Queen

1. God Save The Queen, Sex Pistols  --Alright, I agree!! You can't have party with the Queen without Sex Pistols *Laugh*.

2. Girl, You'll be a Woman Soon, Urge Overkill  --Norb cracked me up for what he wrote in his entry. I'll just re-post it here, I soo love this song. Ok, someone has to say it, so it may as well be me. Queenie, sweetheart, don't you think it's time you, ummmm, took a lover? Someone to ride out your last couple thousand days with (c'mon, if she's not dead yet she probably isn't goin' anywhere for another couple decades). Someone to clean the cobwebs out of the closet, wink-wink-nudge-nudge. Like the saying I just made up goes: "Every queen needs a king, or a same-sex lover whose relationship won't be recognized by the rest of her family and will have no bearing whatsoever on the throne-ownership."

3. Croatian Rhapsody, Maksim Mrvica  -- I love Maksim's music, I had to put it here because it's something local to me and I hope that I can bring our Queen back right after she passed out because of your music choices *Pthb*.

Day 4., Halloween Party

1. Vampire of Dusseldorf, Macabre  -- Just because the shit got real.

2. Hexagram, Deftones  --I like alternative metal, I have some friends who are having their own metal group. Actually, they are more like death metal band but we listened to everything when we used to hang before. If you wanna check it out here is their official site. Toxic Death  . If you like death metal of course.

3. Slept So Long, Jay Gordon  -- I love 'KoЯn' and Jon Davis and I love their music. This song is written by Jon and I kind of like more Jay's version rather when Jonathan sang it but I respect it because he wrote the whole thing.

Day 5., Wedding Reception

1. Love Will Tear Us Apart, Joy Division  -- I've been listening to Joy Division every day a whole day while writing entries as Charlie ~. Like Kylie said, the 80's bands do fucked up love songs with style *Laugh*.

2. I Wanna Grow Old With You, Adam Sandler  -- I don't care what people think of Adam Sandler but I always laugh so hard at his movies. I've seen 'Happy Gilmore' hundred times and I cry every time *Laugh*. I haven't seen 'The Wedding Singer' though, might check that out some day.

3. This Year's Love, David Gray  -- This is my favorite song ever and for sure it will be on my wedding.

Day 6., Karaoke Party

1. Basket Case, Green Day  -- I don't know why I didn't include 'Green Day' in previous entries *Cry*.

2. Clint Eastwood, Gorillaz  -- Same thing, why I didn't include 'Gorillaz' within my previous blog entries? *Sob*

3. Rehab, Amy Winehouse  --I doubt that anyone can sing in Amy's voice but 'Rehab' is great, great song.

I can't believe it's over. I'm not happy because this challenge is finished but I'm so excited that I don't need to be Charlie ~ anymore *Laugh*. I will never do that again, I promise. Gaaahhhh..till the next time, I love you all.. *Peace2*

Blog like you're Charlie ~ --Where is your favorite place to eat? Is it a restaurant, a room in your house, or somewhere else?

Why we talk about food again? *Think* Alright, lets see. Last night I had my family and cousins coming over. We went out to this restaurant because there was just too many of us so Kira and I decided that it's better if we don't need to wash the dishes after *Laugh*. I like family dinners sometimes if the theme that circle round the table is interesting and when no one is talking about how fucked up I am and what am I suppose to do with my life. It was so annoying when my Dad used to start some kind of conversation where I would just leave pissed. I doubt he would do such thing in public place. I like restaurants though more than eating in the house because chances that someone ruins the dinner in the restaurants are less than if we're having the dinner in the house. I hate to see when people make dramas in restaurant like, what in the fuck? Not everyone needs to know if you have a problems or who is douchebag in your relationship. Just solve the things out in private if you can't handle it in public. I had a few fights though in public places but they usually finished like some of us just leave while the other have to pay all meals. I didn't do it often but when I did it was because the other person deserved to pay everything. It was like, you call me out to have dinner with me and you start fight over stupid things, well you will pay for it of course. *Pthb*

It's different if I want a sandwich though, then I like to eat in my house because I don't just go to restaurant to have a sandwich.

Note* Please understand that non of these events happened to any of us.

Dragon clouds so high above
I've only known careless love,
It's always hit me from below.
This time around it's more correct
Right on target, so direct,
You're gonna make me lonesome when you go

Blog party--Karaoke Party Playlist
You're up on mic. What are you singing?

I cannot wait to read Fivesixer 's entry *Laugh*!! I know he's gonna be too funny and I need that. I'm sick again so, karaoke show is not such a good idea for me. I've got sore throat and I had to cancel my concert for today. However, I made the list in my head last night before I went to sleep, I was pretty excited for it and when I woke up this morning arghh..*Sob*
I like karaoke and I did it few times and it was fun every time. I think that karaoke are more fun if you don't know how to sing or if you sound like magpie. Or when you sound like this  . It cracks me up every time. This is exactly how I sound right now *Sob*. At the ship we had this playlist and everyone could pick up which song they wanted to sing. It's not like they put you in the front and you have to sing whatever is next on the list. They never had songs that I wanted to sing though so I just had to pick up whatever is there. Anyway, this is the list that would like to have on the karaoke playlist;

1.What's Up, 4 Non Blondes  --Everyone loves this song. I have a friend from the ship, he's like 35. years old and he has exactly the same vocal abilities like Linda. It was just amazing thing to hear him. And no, he didn't sound like He-man, far from it *Laugh*.

2.All The Small Things, Blink 182  --Ahh, this song was always on the karaoke playlist and there was always someone who would sing it. When I was in Australia we had karaoke night and some people were having mic all the time and they were singing only slow songs. It was kind of depressing until the guy from the entertainment department didn't piss of and grabbed the mic. He sang this song, I think that crew bar suddenly went crazy and I remember they sold a lot of alcohol that night. Every night actually they sell a lot because prizes for drinks are ridiculously low. The highest prize for one drink was $4 if you don't count bottles but even then they are very low for the crew members. Crew bar is the only bar at the ship that can earn $20,000 per night and it is opened fom 8p.m till 1:30a.m. only. Yup, that's totally true, they are full every single night. Ugh..I miss it so much right now.

3.Carrie, Europe  --I love this song and we always had it on the playlist. There was the other guy at the other ship who sang this song together with me. It was fun because he is great singer.

4.Here Without You, 3 Doors Down  --I don't know what the hell is with this song but it was the most popular at every ship. Everyone sang it, guys, girls and suddenly everyone gets emotional about it. I guess that everyone remember their dearest people who are not there with them. I can understand that because most of the crew members are married and having kids at home while they are working at the ship. I think that this song actually effected everyone in different ways, some guys were having girlfriends at the other ships and they weren't able to be together. Ugh...it was too depressing whenever someone want to sing it.

5.Wherever You Will Go, The Calling  --I sang this one last time we had karaoke and it was so much fun. We were laughing so hard and everyone were saying that we're gonna kick out the other people who came to crew bar that night. Well, I didn't see anyone leaving. *Smile* You need to find the song that has nice karaoke version because most of them are shitty and sounds different than what you expect.

6.Like a Virgin, Madonna  --This one is kind of easy to sing but it's fun. You can fool a little bit and dance while you're singing. Everyone listen to Madonna and everyone knows her old songs.

7.Just Give Me a Reason, Pink  --You can grab your best friend and sing along. This song was also one of the favorites when we had karaoke at the ship. There was one girl from Filipines, she teared the song down all by herself. At first she was suppose to sing it with the guy but he was kind of shy and she didn't want to ruin the performance. I remember that everyone's jaw dropped when she finished it. She was working as housekeeping steward and she became favorite one to the dancers and whole entertainment team after that.

8.One Way Or Another, Blondie  --I remember this song from the movie "Coyote Ugly" and how fun it was when the girl jumped on the bar and started to dance.

9.Rehab, Amy Winehouse  --I love Amy Winehouse and her specific voice. It's a shame how she finished at the end. There was one girl, dancer who sang this song but just acoustic version with her boyfriend who played guitar. It was great to hear that. Rehab is an excellent song especially if you fully understand the meaning of it.

10.Billie Jean, Michael Jackson  --I have Michael on this list as well. 'Billie Jean' is just playable and karaoke version that we had was solid.

11.Ironic, Alanis Morissette  --Alanis is also my favorite 90's. I love the lyrics, It's like rain on your wedding day, it's a free ride when you've already paid, it's the good advice that you just didn't take, who would've thought... it figures. Well, one of the comedians mocked her for what she wrote here because rain on a wedding day is not such irony. "The only thing that is ironic here is that this song is written from a woman who doesn't know the meaning of the irony," he said. Life itself is ironic and the song is catchy whatever someone think about it.

Lyrics  


Blog like you're Charlie ~ --Where do you see yourself in twenty years' time?

Sup ya'll? It's Sunday again and we know that on Sundays no one is reading blog entries so, I'll just be quick again *Laugh*. Okay, where are we today? Hmm.. where do I see myself in twenty years? Probably in the same place where I am now. Just kidding. I moved a lot from state to state in the past six years and I never knew where am I gonna finish. I don't like to think about the future for the same reason. I know I did a lot of stupid things in past but who didn't? You are allowed to do stupid stuff when you are a teenager. It's different now when I'm older though, well I know I'm only 23 but I really feel old as fuck, I have a job, school, things to take care about. After everything you've done you have to get little bit serious at some point just to make sure that your life goes in the right direction. Later on in your life you should be able to enjoy carefree again if you played that period very well. I know some retired people who easily pack their bags on Thursdays and they are going somewhere they've never been before. I'm not really planning my future as I said, I just think that this is pretty cool idea of how life should be. And considering I'm 23.now in 20. years I'll be 43., there's no way I get retired by then. I think people just should live their life in the way that works the best for them. Maybe I'll die in car accident, maybe I'll live 80. years, I dunno, to me the most important is to make the best of everything I'm offered.

Drinking my vodka and lime
I look around Leaves are brown
And the sky is a hazy shade of winter
Look around Leaves are brown
There's a patch of snow on the ground

Blog party--Wedding Party Playlist
Make the perfect playlist for your wedding/wedding reception!

My wedding reception? What if I never get married? *Sob* I always dreamed about wedding at the beach or in some Victorian garden. Well, maybe the second one is not really accessible but girl can dream. I don't know though, what if I marry some metal head guy? For sure he wont dance with Beyonce music at his own wedding. Or, what if I praise punk rock? For sure I wont have Christina Aguilera on my music playlist. I'm not punk rocker anymore so that deal is off anyway but I'm just saying. I compiled this list as a part of my beach/garden wedding but it's not sure if it will be like that. I listen to all kind of music and I don't have specific genre that I praise now. So, here is my wish-wash playlist of wedding reception:

1.Save The Last Dance For Me, Michael Buble  --Isn't this song super nice for your wedding? I really like dancing in this music video and the song is pretty happy. I never took dancing classes but I think they are so hot and I like to see that someone knows all kind of dance moves. I don't think this song would be our song but I would definitely play this.

2.Thinking Out Loud, Ed Sheeran  --From this point of view, and from this century that I live in now this would be our song on the wedding. I'm really in love with this song completely. There's probably thousands of the others maybe better one but I would probably tried to learn few steps from here. They are both so handsome here.

3.All of Me, John Legend  --I was obsessed by this song few months ago because it sounds so beautiful. It's romantic and I'm romantic..ugh..*Sick*

4.Dancing Queen, AbbA  --Old but gold. I remember Muriel's wedding   movie everytime I hear this song. You've got to respect AbbA.

5.Can't Take My Eyes off of You, Frankie Valli  --I like old songs and singers, I have never been huge fan of Frankie Valli but this songs just awake something exciting inside me. It's playable and I'm sure everyone would enjoy.It's classic 60's.

6.I Gotta Feeling, Black Eyed Peas  --Well who doesn't like to get drunk and go little bit wild at his own wedding? It doesn't need to be all stuffy. People need parties and I like Black Eyed Peas because they are fun always.

7.Uptown Funk, Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars  --This one is also great for group dancing and it's fun. You can fool it around if you don't like this kind of music but you can't deny that you don't like it at all. It's too fun to be ignored.

8.Single Ladies, Beyonce  --I said no Beyonce if I praise punk but I say yes to Beyonce now because this song is special. Admit it now that you want to put the ring on it *Laugh*.

9.I Wanna Dance With Somebody, Whitney Houston  --I just want everyone to have fun dancing. That's the most important at wedding. I loooove this song, I've been listening to it at some parties and it's always excellent choice to remind yourself at the late 80's.

10.Rockafeller Skank, Fatboy Slim  --I missed the song in the first entry this week so I'm making it up now.

11.Wonderwall, Oasis  --I always loved Wonderwall. It reminds me of my ex when we talked about it once. We were listening to this song and he asked me what I think that Wonderwall is? I said that Wonderwall is a place where you keep all your happy moments of your life. It can be anything, if we're talking about wall now then it should be a wall in your room where you hang pictures of your friends, it can be a box full of unimportant garbage that means to you, such as hair tie of your first love ever, a rock from your first vacation at the sea, sugar bag when you first time went out with your first love etc., or it simply can be a heart. We both agreed to this thesis. What does Wonderwall means to you?

12.This Year's Love, David Gray  --This is one of my lifetime favorite songs and I would be in doubt between 'Thinking Out Loud' and this as our song. It's so beautiful and romantic. My favorite song EVEEERRRR!!

13.Beastie Boys, She's Crafty  --Just because I said I'll link them in every entry *Jamming*

I hope you would enjoy at my wedding reception. I'd invite all of you of course.

Lyrics  


Blog like you're Charlie ~ --What are three things we don't know about you?

Suuup guys? How's everyone today? We're already at day 4. of this blogging challenge and I really have fun. Buuut I don't think that I could do more than seven days of being someone else. It suuuucksss! I'll make this entry super quick because I have school in few hours and you guys already know pretty much about me. I just have to come up with some random things. I think that I see myself the same way the others see me, if I care about their opinion of course. So, basically I'm everything what people I care about the most say about me. If you say that I'm sensitive then I'll be sensitive. If you say that I'm emotional then I'll be emotional. I dunno, if you wanna know more about me go and read some poems of mine. I think they say a lot.
I do some random things though that you would never guess because I have never met you and I never talk about them here. These are just mindless things that I'm doing daily and something that I don't even realize that I'm doing until someone say: "hey, stop doing it," or something. Okay, first random thing that you don't know about me is that I bounce my knees when I'm sitting. I'm not sure why but I can't sit peacefully. It's not that I'm nervous or something, I just can't calm my legs. It's really annoying for someone who is sitting right next to me because I bounce him, too. So, if we ever meet in person just stay away from me *Pthb*.
Second thing is that I'm stubborn and you cannot do anything about it. That is the reason why I never look for the advice from anyone. Even if someone decide to give me advice about life I can listen to a person and talk about it with her but I don't really give a shit about it. It's not that I'm not respectful I just want to live my life like I want it and not like someone else want it. Sorry ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ .
Third thing is little bit weird. When I buy a book that I haven't read before and when I don't know what is it all about the first thing I do is that I read the last paragraph or even a whole last page. This is the weirdest and one of the most unnecessary things that you may know about me. I think that I have never told this to anyone in my life. That's about it, I hope you still like me *Wink*.

Like the naked leads the blind.
I know I'm selfish, I'm unkind.
Sucker love I always find,
Someone to bruise and leave behind.

Blog party--Halloween Party Playlist
We're close enough to Halloween to start making a Halloween playlist, right? *Jackolantern**Ghost*

Ugh.. let's see, you have Halloween costume, snacks, drinks, carved pumpkins, everything ready for the party? I guess so. How about music? AHA..you don't have Halloween playlist, I knew it. Can I be a DJ at your spooky party, please? *Vamp* I promise you will enjoy because I have some awesome songs for you. Wanna check? Alright, here you go:

1. Thriller, Michael Jackson  --You have to put King of pop on this list as number one because this is thriller, thriller night and no one's gonna save you from the beast about the strike *Laugh*. Everyone knows 'Thriller' and famous dance moves so, I think it would be fun.

2. Ghostbusters  --Well, why not? If we're gonna start with 80's I would definitely play 'Ghostbusters' on my party, at least for fun. Maybe it's little bit boring for the Halloween party at 2015. but remember when this was a hit?

3. Where the Wild Roses Grow. Nick Cave  --You can't have Halloween party without Nick Cave because he is Lord of Gothic. I don't know why I chose this song, maybe because everyone heard of it and it's nice for dancing. I'm sure that all of you will have at least one song of him in your list. My list would have different order at the party of course but I'd play all of these songs.

3. I Put a Spell on You, Creedence Clearwater  --I've heard this song in some Halloween movie and I have found different versions of it but yeah.. Creedence..

4. Redeemer, Jonathan Davis  --Love love love Jonathan Davis and Korn, this song definitely is gonna be on my Halloween list.

5. Slept So Long, Jay Gordon  --Written by Jonathan Davis, performed by Jay Gordon. First time I've heard it in the movie 'Queen of Damned', fell in love with it totally.

6. After Dark, Tito and Tarantula  --This was the first time I fell in love with Salma Hayek *Pthb*. 'After Dark' is perfect for Halloween playlist and Quentin Tarantino is King.

7. Tainted Love, Marilyn Manson  --I'm not a fan of Marilyn Manson but I so love this cover.

8. Going Under, Evanescence  --I love 'Evanescence' and this was my favorite song from the album 'Fallen'. Amy has perfect voice. I remember one time we were hanging in friend's house, it was summer and we were drinking in the front yard. It was right after this album came up. Anyway, we were drinking outside and hanging with the neighbor of my friend who is a poet. Not really famous but like most of us here, he was reciting some of his poems, it was just perfect night. I felt sleepy and I wanted to go but the guy said that I can sleep in his room. I said alright so we went in and he found some blanket and pillows for me. I said that I don't really like to sleep in darkness and he turned on his laptop and asked if I want to listen to Evanescence, 'Fallen'. So, I slept in his bed while they spent a whole night outside. I always remember comfort of his bed whenever I hear Evanescence.

9. Riders On The Storm, The Doors  --Just because it sounds spooky and reminds me of Tarantino.

10. Vodoo Child, Jimmy Hendrix  --I don't know why but it sounds perfect. My description of songs sucks today, I'm not in mood. I hope you like it though.

Lyrics  


Blog like you're Charlie ~ --What's on your favorite sandwich? Do you prefer enjoying it in silence, or while reading, or with company?

A hostess gave you private table for two in the corner and she handed you menus before she left.

Kira look at you with her big blue eyes and she asks what you gonna get for dinner. You love the way she ask you this question because when you're home she never cook. Usually you are the one who has to make sandwich or something when you're hungry.
You look over the menu realizing there's nothing that you like. You don't eat meat so your decision doesn't have too many choices. There's a few different salads that you can take but you don't want to look stupid in front of the waiter by ordering only that. You don't eat sweets so desert also doesn't count.

"Are you ready to order," you hear husky voice of some skinny teenager. His slicked hair looks gross because he put too much gel on it. The way he stand in front of you tells you that this is probably his first job he ever had. Somehow, when you think about him now, ordering salad only in restaurant didn't seem so weird.
"We're not ready to order food yet but you can get us drinks. I'm just gonna have the water and.." you look at Kira expecting from her to say something.

"I'll have water, too," she say quickly as she lower her eyes to the menu again.

"Alright no problem," slicky say and he leaves. His behavior is exactly like his style; cheeky and crude. You look at Kira, her long curved eyelashes shadowing her rosy cheeks. In that moment you remember why you fell in love with her. Sometimes your relationship seems like it'll break but you always find the way to darn the pieces when it happens. She might not be a perfect wife but she is everything that you have and you already cannot imagine your life without her. You start to think about the time when you first saw her and all things you used to say to each other before. While you look at her now you realize that you don't remember when was the last time you said you love her. She new it probably but your life just doesn't seem great like before. You open your mouth the same moment, you don't want to waste the time anymore to tell her how much you love her, when slicky interrupted you.

"Here's the water," he puts two glasses in front of you, "are you already gonna order food?" He ask again little bit irritated.
You cannot believe how someone doesn't have basic manners but you know that you couldn't expect more in this shitty restaurant. Your temper is already at the edge especially now when he came in this important moment of your life. Kira look up at him and then at you and just smile. She is not picky over food but she knows that you cannot eat everything.
"We still haven't decide. We need couple of more minutes if you don't mind," you try to be nice even he doesn't deserve it. You always think that costumers in the restaurant are too bitchy over waiters for no reason and even though this kid is shallow you just don't want to ruin his career.
He look at both of you and doesn't say anything. Three seconds after he leaves from your table.

"God, will you decide already? What's wrong with you Charlie? How hard is to order food in restaurant?" she suddenly raises her voice. You are used to her being like this sometimes but you know she will calm soon. She understand that you have to be picky over the menu because that's just what you are. You cannot change yourself and she knew it since the day she met you.

"I think that I don't like anything from the menu," you say irritated even more now, "can we just go home, I'm not hungry anymore?" You suddenly cannot bare this restaurant and the atmosphere. You think that everything would probably be different if you said 'I love you' to her before slicky interrupted you. Now you're again on the threshold of another fight.

"Fuck you, Charlie!" Kira stands up from the table as she takes her red coat from the chair. You know that you blew up again. How many times you blew up? You don't even count anymore. You try to catch up with her as she leaves the restaurant. Slicky's jaw drops as he see her leaving and you running after her. You are lucky because the water he brought doesn't cost anything so you wouldn't need to face his ugly face. Kira almost run down the street as you try to catch her unsuccessfully. Your apartment is not too far away from this restaurant so you just walk to it. As soon as she reach the house she lock herself in one of the rooms. You know that you cannot say anything to her then because you will just make this situation even worse so you just let her go. You cannot believe that night turned into fight again. You have so many fights lately, sometimes they are about ordinary and stupid things like this night and sometimes they turn into bigger one where she can easily go to sleep at her best friend, Lauren.
Your stomach growl because it needs food but you don't care too much in this moment. You curl yourself up on the couch and you think why this happened. For the hundred time you don't understand anything anymore. You light up the cigarette.
Clock ticked 2a.m. when coldness wrapped your body in herself. If you didn't have fight and you suddenly fall a sleep on a couch Kira would cover you with the blanket. She didn't do it this time and you understand why. You feel totally empty because of everything. You go to kitchen and you open the fridge. You only find swiss cheese and some cabbage leaves inside. You didn't have enough time to bring groceries today. You make cabbage-cheese sandwich and you sit alone on the kitchen table. At least you quench emptiness in your gizzard.

Note* please understand that this event never happened anywhere except in my head today. *Smile*

I know that it's always something
I'm just working with what I've been given
It's not my fault, I'm happy
Don't call me crazy, I'm happy

Blog party--Queen of England Tea Party

Though I've been through punk rock in my youth age, and I really loved every second of it, I wouldn't put God Save the Queen by Sex Pistols   on this list *Laugh*. I think the Queen would get a heart attack on the first sounds so, I'll just go with classical music because the Queen and class goes very well with each other. It wont be a whole orchestra of course because tea party suppose to be in relaxing mood and music shouldn't be loud at all just loud enough to not feel awkward when, in the middle of conversation, everyone just gets quiet. Well, I wouldn't get quiet with Queen of course because that is the only chance I'd get to talk to her so, I would probably have a lot of questions. I love tea parties. When I was at the ship we had tea parties on sea days and I remember that a guy from entertainment team used to come and play piano during it. It's really beautiful and I think of organizing something similar for my friends here. Without piano of course because I don't have piano *Bigsmile*, but youtube would serve good. Here is some kind of music list of mine if the Queen don't mind:

1. For Elise, Ludwig van Beethoven  --There's so many reasons why Beethoven should be my number one today. This German compositor value as one of the greatest of all times and composition 'For Elise' is played on many palaces. It's mellow and playful at the same time and it doesn't distract you with its high scores. I wouldn't really play the whole orchestra here for the same reasons, I would just stick to piano or violin only, probably piano the most. I bet you heard this composition somewhere, if you didn't feel free to remind yourself.

2. Marriage of Figaro-piano, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart  --Austrian compositor of classicism is one of the world famous. Known as 'miracle child' because he learned music before he learned to write and was having his own concerts at the age of five. I've been to Vienna few months ago and we visited house where he lived and the opera house where he played. At some point his teacher was Beethoven and despite all his success he died poor. Difference between him and Beethoven was that on Beethoven's funeral participated 30,000 people while on Mozart's just few close friends. I would really play 'Marriage of Figaro piano version' because it sounds like playful. Most of his compositions are like that, they have sudden ups and downs but for this tea party I wouldn't like out Queen gets irritated by his sudden high scores.

3. Clair de Lune, Claude Debussy  --I'm so in love with 'Clair de Lune'. It sounds so sad but relaxing, perfect for the tea party. Maybe this sounds more like it can be played at just regular dinner in 18th century but I had to put it here.

4. Nocturne OP 9, No.2, Frederic Chopin  --I remembered Frederic Chopin because I failed my musical test once in elementary school when there was a question about Chopin. I think we had to write little bit about him and I didn't know where was he from. I was always confused because most of the compositors were some German or Italian nationalities. Anyway, Chopin was from Poland. I found this composition on youtube because I don't know too much about him, this one popped out first and I liked it.

5. Bella's Lullaby, Carter Burwell  --I don't what you guys think about this composition because it's coming from the movie 'Twilight' and I adore it. It just makes me feel like I'm in some other world, this composition tells one story. Piano is just perfect here, all high scores sounds like they are exactly where they suppose to be. I know that vampires doesn't go together with tea party but I don't care, this melody will be my 'Beastie Boys' for today because I said I will link 'Beastie Boys' in every entry *Bigsmile*. I'll totally go with 'Bella's Lullaby' today.

6. River Flows in You, Yiruma  --I have never heard something more beautiful than 'River Flows in You' lately. Please, please check this out..I use to listen to this composition over and over again when I was writing some poems.

7. Piano Sonata, Franz Schubert  -- Just because it's in happy mood, I don't want to stick to sad melodies.

8. Romanza per Pianoforte. Giuseppe Verdi  --Another Italian opera compositor. Of course I couldn't put some of his operas within this list so I found something more suitable for the tea party in the garden with Queen. I forgot to tell that my tea party is in the garden and not inside the palace.

9. Piano Sonatas Part.1, Joseph Haydn  --Another playful sonata this time from Austrian compositor of classicism. Check it out, it's in happy mood but not annoying.

10. Croatian Rhapsody, Maksim Mrvica  --Maksim worth for one of the most successful pianists today, when it comes about classic crossover music. I've been to his concert few years ago and I love the way he is different from the other pianists. I'm sure that, even if you're not a fan of classical music, you would love to see Maksim live. He is just talented as that. Check out the other excellent performances; Kolibre  , Exodus   my favorite, Flight of the Bumblebee   is too crazy. I remember watching at his fingers running over the piano keys with such ease that it's not normal. I was expecting he will stand up here and start to play because the melody require a lot of effort in your fingers and it's really hard but he was just sitting on that chair and looked so casual. Please check this performance, I'm sure you will love it. It's a crossover version.

Ahh, I managed to 10. songs today WOW *Delight*. I hope Queen would like my playlist and you guys of course, whoever read my entries.
