About Me


Am I real? or was I just created for the imaginary purposes of a lonely daydreamer?? I have been looking for the answers everywhere...
in dusty old books about nothing and everything
in the eyes of passing strangers
in handshakes and hugs, donated by social inadequates
in empty window sills, sighing in the company of silence
in falling snow heading for the ocean
in the final breath of a faded balloon
in the rooms with alarm clocks failing to do their bid
in the dawning sun that nobody sees
in falling trees that nobody hears
in words of love that nobody speaks
in the hopes and dreams of tomorrow
and the nevermore of yesterdays
on tired seats
empty chairs
broken homes
and weeping walls
...
but the questions remain

Which British Band Are You?
You're Carl Barat!!! Which means you have pretty
much the nicest hair in the whole world, you're
the fittest person in rock, and are an
extremely good friend. You try, bless you.
Oh, and some girls on livejournal seem to think
you're a woman! ;)
Which Member of The Libertines Are You?

Which Dead Rock Star Are You?

Richey Edwards
You are Richey James Edwards! You're a manic! You aren't too good when it comes to making music, but you're smart and can write well. You're honest and quiet, but different. You are beautiful! Oh, he disappeared in 1995 while on tour with his band Manic Street Preachers.

Your rationale is that things were much better a few hundred years ago so we should thus look back to those times and replace them in our modern society.
