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. :lol:

well we open presents xmas eve...

i got a new laptop!! it's a xmas/birthday/grad present. a dell inspiron 5160. i'm happy :) it came with a free printer. so i have a printer too...yay!!!!!!

then my aunt and uncle bought me a book on canadian politics, a friend got me rousseau's the social contract, i got lots of killer socks, and a guy from work who i've become good friends with lately gave me a cd with a bunch of his music on, which is just awesome.

but the gift that made me homesick? a friend sent me a scrapbook that she put together. it had a bunch of old pictures and lots of good memories. ahh...sometimes it's the littlest things that mean the mostest.

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 digital camera from my dad, and the sweetest effects pedal ever from my mom.

Except I can't use it until I replace my broken patch cable. :mad:

Rob, I hate you with the fire of a thousand burning suns.

On a completely unrelated matter: will you be my best friend?

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. :)
