Queens Of The Stone Age-Someone's In The Wolf
Once you're lost in twillights's blue
You don't find your way, the way finds you...
Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,
What's behind them...
So glad you could stay
Forever
He steps between the trees, a crooked man
There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand
You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls
He's creeping too..
So glad you could stay
Forever

I'm with you there. I don't understand it and I hate it.
Actually, I understand some of it. But I still hate it.

So far I've gotten a Whitman's Sampler box of chocolates from my mommy, a $50 gift card to DEB from Monkey (:mrgreen:), and a candle from my mommy's friend who I've known my whole life.

I got 3 gift cards- EB games, future shop, and Chapters.
I got a copy of Paga Ultima 8 from my brother (i love old games), but i can't get it to work on my comp or with DOSBox.
I got a 12 string acoustic from my parents, but they said I could trade it in for a new electric if I wanted to, which I think I might. I just dunno what kind of electric to get.

A Zoom 607 Bass.

I really don't know if it's all that great, since I haven't had the chance to use it yet, but it's got a shit ton of effects and a pedal, and it can play up to nine of its effects at once, so I'm pleased.

Just because I am sexy, naked, a bassist, and sporting a top hat doesn't make me Duncan Coutts!
