A song I’ve loved since I first heard it in 1997. Although I was only 9 years old when this song came out, it resonated with me, and still does on so many levels. It’s just a beautiful song and I have to share it.
Don’t stray
Don’t ever go away
I should be much too smart for this
You know it gets the better
Of me sometimes
When you and I collide
I fall into an ocean of you
Pull me out in time
Don’t let me drown
Let me down
I say it’s all because of you
And here I go
Losing my control
I’m practising your name
So I can say it to your face it doesn’t seem right
To look you in the eye
And let all the things you mean to me
Come tumbling out my mouth indeed it’s time
Tell you why
I say its infinitely true
Say you’ll stay
Don’t come and go
Like you do
Sway my way
Yeah I need to know
All about you
And there’s no cure
And no way to be sure
Why everything’s turned inside out
Instilling so much doubt
It makes me so tired
I feel so uninspired
My head is battling with my heart
My logic has been torn apart
And now
It all turns sour
Come sweeten
My every afternoon
Say you’ll stay
Don’t come and go
Like you do
Sway my way
Yeah I need to know
All about you
Say you’ll stay
Don’t come and go
Like you do
Sway my way
Yeah I need to know
All about you
It’s all because of you
It’s all because of you
Well, not really. Because the things that people wanted to hear about are things I’ve already posted about
So for reference, here are the posts about the bigger events that happened in 2009.
The New Place – moving back into our own space was excellent, after living for something like 9-10 months at my parents’ place. We’d lived together on our own before, so it wasn’t a particularly outstanding achievement or event in itself, but it was a regaining of our freedom and independence.
New Beginnings – moving to Terri.nu was a big change – I still use the name ‘Inspirata’ for my website design stuff, but I felt it was time to move to something bigger and better. Terri.nu was a domain name I’d wanted for a while – it’s me, of course, and my name isn’t changing any time soon! Again, not much to this event, but it was something I did that stood out this year.
The Wedding Post – and of course, the biggest thing that happened in 2009 was our wedding. What can I say but it’s the start of the next phase of our relationship, true commitment to each other. The happiest day of my life.
And that’s about it. I did get a job in 2009, as well, which I am grateful for. I didn’t listen to the radio at all, unless I was in the car with my parents. I watched far too much TV and spent too much time playing The Sims 2 & 3. I lost 8kg in 12 months without even trying.
We lost Layla in February, whom we miss dearly (RIP Mama-Puss), which was a real breaking point for me, since I loved her so much.
Thankfully, though, Layla was our only loss this year – I wish it could have gone without any losses, but I suppose when a person’s or animal’s time has come, there’s not much you can really do about it.
So I said I was gonna try to do NaBloPoMo again this month – turns out I fail before I even try, since it’s the 5th March already. Oh well, there’s always April.
Michael and I went to see Kate Miller-Heidke at a local bar last night – it was AWESOME. She has a phenomenal voice; really something to see, especially since she’s, like, a TINY person. I got my CD signed, but I forgot to take my camera so I didn’t get any photos with her (and my phone doesn’t have flash – kind of a necessity in bars at night). Anyway, if you ever get the chance to see her live, go for it. She’s amazing.
And with that, I don’t really have any other news. I just cleaned up our study so it’s a lot tidier now, just a matter of waiting for Michael to come home from work and clean up his desk because I don’t know what’s what on that damn thing. So yeah.
Sorry for the lack of updates lately; I’ve become reobsessed with The Sims 2 and been playing that a lot – making family after family, families off families and thousands* of children. I told you, obsessed.
Anyway, leave a comment if you want, I’ll post again in a couple of days
Whilst I have done paid blogging in the past, I find it’s not productive enough to make any amount of money unless you’re constantly doing it, which can in turn piss off your readers. So I’ve made the decision to go ad-free. If I mention products or services at all, they’ll be my genuine opinions on things I actually utilise, and I will not be paid for them.
