and hey, leave the light on for me

Hmmm...that's not exactly lust, but I'll take it.  (I don't really believe it, but hey, if you say so.)

How can I make myself happy?
Weapon - Matthew Good Band
Here by my side; an angel,
Here by my side; the devil.
Never turn your back on me,
Never turn your back on me, again.
Here by my side, it's heaven.

Here by my side, you are, destruction.
Here by my side, a new color to paint the world
Never turn your back on it,
Never turn your back on it, again.
Here by my side, its heaven.

Be careful, be careful, be careful, be careful.
This is where the world drops off,
This is where the world drops off.
Be careful, be careful.

And you breathe in,
And you breathe out, for it.
Ain't it so weird,
How it makes you a weapon.
And you give in,
And you give out, for it.
Ain't it so weird,
How it makes you a weapon.
Never turn your back on it,
Never turn your back on it,
Again...

Be careful, be careful.

Here by my side, its heaven,
Here by my side, its heaven.
Here by my side...

I'm not really sure I like you winamp oracle, you made me cry.  *scowls*  But if you're saying what I think you're saying then damn you're good.

What should I do with my life?

It Could Be Worse - Bleu
maybe you'll be smarter if you get a second try
it could be worse it could be better
we could hold you to the letter
we could keep you to your word

I guess you had it all figured it out
but you underestimated the power of doubt

*sigh*  Damn  you and you're tangled words, and possible accuracy. 

Why must life be so full of pain?
A Few Drinks to Fall In Love - Gavin DeGraw
This year burned a hole in my hope
I got debts that could choke out a rope
And it's not my approach it's the way I go summing things up
And there's really nothing great about this bar
So here I am and right there you are
We're both shooting way under par
But soon we'll forget what par was
Yeah, sometimes you need a few drinks to fall in love

If you need a few drinks
You might as well start with a couple of shots
Give a couple of winks
And later blame it all on the buzz
Sometimes, you need a few drinks to fall in love

So you're just saying that it's the human condition, that it has to be painful to build character?  Or maybe you're just a lush, winamp oracle?

How can I maximize my pleasure during sex?
I Wanted to Tell You - Matthew Sweet
Do just what you want to
I think you're right
I do what I want to to
I do what I want to to
I let the world surround me
'Cause I saw no real harm
I didn't stop to think of you
You were already in my arms
I was wrong but I

But I, I wanted to tell you, I needed to tell you, What I couldn't say
And love, I needed to find mine, But it took me a long time, to see

Oookay....

Will I ever have children?
Breathless - Better Than Ezra
When you feel the world is crashing
All around your feet
Come running headlong into my arms
Breathless
I'll never judge you
I can only love you
Come running headlong
Into my arms
Breathless

Lay down your guns
Too weak to run
Nothing can harm you here
Your precious heart
Broken and scarred
Somehow you made it through
I only ask that you won't go again

Will I die happy?
Regardless - Soma Holiday
If only I can settle for what will happen now
Regardless where I bend is there more
Or am I not so helpless or have I no control
Like a feather in the wind
High hopes I have
Yet hard falls I take
To not be ashamed of my mistakes
Story without a face
A life so out of place
Excuse me for my haste
I've got so much time to waste
Tell me now what to do
Show me how to be as happy as you
Where am I but where I am
One last look...

Hmm, as long as I remember that perfection is not happiness.

Can you give me some advice?
A Lifetime - Better Than Ezra
And you were standing
On the hood of the car
Singing out loud
When the sun came up

And I know I wasn't right
But it felt so good
And your mother didn't mind
Like I thought she would
And that REM song was playing in my mind
And three and a half minutes
Felt like a lifetime

So I need to live, I got ya, really...and to sometimes leap before I think.

What do you think happiness is?
In a Little While - U2
In a little while... I'll be there
In a little while
This hurt will hurt no more
I'll be home, love

When the night takes a deep breath
And the daylight has no air
If I crawl, if I come crawling home
Will you be there?

Slow down my beating heart
A man dreams one day to fly
A man takes a rocket ship into the skies
He lives on a star that's dying in the night
And follows in the trail, the scatter of light
Turn it on

You too huh? (No pun intended.)  This song reminds me of quiet happiness.

What's my favorite fetish?
My Own Sweet Time - Hanson
I'm doing it all over
Taking my own sweet time
I may make it slower
But I'm taking my own sweet time

*raises eyebrow*

How should I woo?
Goodbye Letter - Jonny Lang
Well maybe I'm just dreaming
But I know dreams come true
And I'm still here believing
That God made me for you
If we could just start over
Get back where we began
We're better off together
It doesn't have to end
Goodbye
is this how you want it
I'll leave but I don't want to go
And I'll wait but I can't wait forever

Uh...winamp oracle, that's not wooing, that's leaving.  So you're saying I shouldn't woo?  I should just move on.  Good thing I'm not planning on doing any wooing then, huh?

Do I really have what it takes?
Blind - Train
How did this end up me against you
With everything that I say, and everything you do
Your smile is changing - yea
Where is time taking you

Nothing is real, this is how I feel
Nothing is good, but I don't mind being blind
If you don't mind doing time
Nothing is wrong but everything takes too long

Hey by the way, when I fell to your wayside
Did I crash or just slide
Hey by the way, when I pulled myself up to your wayside
Did I hurt you or just slide in

That's not very reassuring, winamp oracle, and it's not very clear either...

What about school?
Take Me Anywhere - Tegan and Sara
Bright just like the stars above me
Proud just like my mother planned it
Short on all the things I don't want
I'm full of love and longing
Take me by the hand and tell me
You would take me anywhere
Still, cause I don't want to move a thing
And all the things I don't want they're full
Of love and longing
Take me by the hand and tell me
You would take me anywhere
And it goes, its like a come on come on to me
And it goes it's like a come on come on to me
You, you say you don't see any part of me
To love in all this mess and I know
You take the good and all the bad that comes with me

Hmmm....

Will people like my writing?
Twilight and Mist - Legends of the Fall Soundtrack
As evening fell, a maiden stood
At the edge of a wood.
In her hands lay the reins
Of a stallion.
And ne'er I'd seen a girl as fair,
Heard a gentler voice anywhere.
Whispered, "Alas..."
She belonged, belonged to another--
Another forever.
Yes, she belonged to
the twilight and mist.

Winamp oracle, you're very weird, you know?

Am I doing the right thing for my characters?
Sooner or Later - Switchfoot
Come back and haunt me
Follow me home
Give me a motive
Swallow me whole...

Today is ours
Condemned to be free
Free to keep breathing
Free to believe

Could Matthew Watley actually be redeemed, rather than the other option?
Bad - Cowboy Mouth
Did you get what you wanted
When you told me good bye
Did you get what you thought you needed
To make a grown man cry
Now there's a hungry look inside your eyes
And there's a shiver I felt between your thighs
I've been good and kind, sweet and nice for way too long

I'm gonna be bad
And its gonna feel good
I'm gonan do everything your mother said we never should
I'm gonna be bad
And I wanna do wrong
And you're gonna be every broken heart
Inside my every song

Guess not.

In the end will Paul resent Faith?
Chapter One - Lifehouse
All the stars are out tonight it feels as though I might
Make some sense out of this madness will it turn out right
Who's to say where the wind will blow

Time will tell us if we're out of answers when it stops
Climb back down to the beginning
Take it from the top
Who's to say where the wind will blow

What happens when all your dreams are lying on the ground
Do you pick up the pieces all around
and if the world should fall apart hold on to what you know
Take your chances turn around and go

Hmmm...

Okay, I think that's more than enough time spent with the winamp oracle for now.  I'll try to write an actual update soon.  Really.  Now to get back to work.  I've got a deadline to meet by midnight on Thursday....
