Bought some music from iTunes

Thursday, October 12th, 2006

I found a couple of songs I like on iTunes. A couple weeks ago I bought one of those iTunes vouchers from Coles shopping centre.

I found Stacie Orrico’s “I’m not missing you” and Nickelback’s “Savin’ me”. I might check for Sugababe’s song below some time in the future. Takes a while to download them via dialup ;)

Had a great game of poker tonight. I didn’t come first. In fact, my friends from the final table last week and I all got out relatively early.

I’m making some good friends there, though. Once you see the same people over and over you can open up the conversation at the table fairly easily and have a good night including calling someone chicken and making the ‘brawk brawk’ noise while flapping elbows like wings (I wouldn’t do that! ;) She only had a 2 & a 3 anyway lol! She won the night anyhow so her husband was cheering with his bottle of rum.) and just generally being silly.

It’s always good even just for a nice night out.

Sienna has been sick the last few days so I hope she’s feeling better now. She had an ear infection and had to go back on antibiotics. It seems like she’s been on them most months of this year. That’s the problem with mixing with other kids when your immune system is still growing.  She went back to kindy again so here’s hoping.  I get to pick her up tomorrow night again, so I definitely can’t wait for that! It’s always so good to see her :) She brightens up my weekends enormously.
Mum was on TV a couple of times tonight due to having some of her poetry in a book. I think she read some out and also talked a bit and Channel 3 and 7 were there filming so she made sure she didn’t miss it. Unfortunately, I was at poker by the time I knew she would be on or I would have taped the news. Then again, news from where they live may not make it all the way up here.

Some more good songs

Ugly – Sugababes

When I was 7
They said I was strange
I noticed that my eyes and hair weren’t the same
I asked my parents if I was OK
They said you’re more beautiful
And that’s the way they show that they wish
That they had your smile
So my confidence was up for a while
I got real comfortable with my own style
I knew that they were only jealous cos

People are all the same
And we only get judged by what we do
Personality reflects name
And if I’m ugly then
So are you
So are you

There was a time when I felt like I cared
That I was shorter than everyone there
People made me feel like life was unfair
And I did things that made me ashamed
Cos I didn’t know my body would change
I grew taller than them in more ways
But there will always be the one who will say
Something bad to make them feel great

People are all the same
And we only get judged by what we do
Personality reflects name
And if I’m ugly then
So are you
So are you

People are all the same
And we only get judged by what we do
Personality reflects name
And if I’m ugly then
So are you
So are you

Everybody talks bad about somebody
And never realises how it affects somebody
And you bet it won’t be forgotten
Envy is the only thing it could be

Cos people are all the same
(The same, the same)
And we only get judged by what we do
(What we do, yeah, yeah)
Personality reflects name
And if I’m ugly then
(Yeah, you)
So are you
So are you

People are all the same
(Oh, oh, oh)
And we only get judged by what we do
(What we do, yeah)
Personality reflects name
And if I’m ugly then
(Yeah, so are you)
So are you
So are you

MercyMeSo Long Self
From the album Coming Up To Breathe

Well if I come across a little bit distant
It’s just because I am
Things just seem to feel a little bit different
You understand

Believe it or not but life is not apparently
About me anyways
But I have met the One who really is worthy
So let me say

Chorus:
So long self
Well it’s been fun, but I have found somebody else
So long self
There’s just no room for two
So you are gonna have to move
So long self
Don’t take this wrong but you are wrong for me farewell
Oh well, Goodbye, don’t cry
So Long Self

Stop right there because I know what your thinking
But no we can’t be friends
And even though I know your heart is breaking
This has to end

And come to think of it the blame for all of this
Simply falls on me
For wanting something more in life than all of this
Oh, can’t you see

Chorus:

(4x’s)
Farewell, Goodbye
Oh so long self

Mat Kearney – Nothing left to lose 

Something’s in the air tonight
The sky’s alive with a burning light
You can mark my words something’s about to break

And I found myself in a bitter fight
While I’ve held your hand through the darkest night
Don’t know where you’re coming from but you’re coming soon

[bridge]
To a kid from Oregon by way of California
All of this is more than I’ve ever known or seen

[chorus]
Come on and we’ll sing, like we were free
Push the pedal down watch the world around fly by us
Come on and we’ll try, one last time
I’m off the floor one more time to find you
And here we go there’s nothing left to choose
And here we go there’s nothing left to lose

So I packed my car and I headed east
Where I felt your fire and a sweet release
There’s a fire in these hills that’s coming down
And I don’t know much but I found you here
And I can not wait another year
Don’t know where you’re coming from but you’re coming soon

[bridge]

[chorus]

I can still hear the trains out my window
From Hobart Street to here in Nashville
I can still smell the pomegranates grow
And I don’t know how hard this wind will blow
Or where we’ll go

[chorus]

Savin’ Me – Nickelback

Prison gates won’t open up for me
On these hands and knees I’m crawlin’
Oh, I reach for you
Well I’m terrified of these four walls
These iron bars can’t hold my soul in
All I need is you
Come please I’m callin’
And oh I scream for you
Hurry I’m fallin’, I’m fallin’

[Chorus:]
Show me what it’s like
To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right
And I’ll show you what I can be
Say it for me
Say it to me
And I’ll leave this life behind me
Say it if it’s worth saving me

Heaven’s gates won’t open up for me
With these broken wings I’m fallin’
And all I see is you
These city walls ain’t got no love for me
I’m on the ledge of the eighteenth story
And oh I scream for you
Come please I’m callin’
And all I need from you
Hurry I’m fallin’, I’m fallin’

[Chorus]

Hurry I’m fallin’

All I need is you
Come please I’m callin’
And oh, I scream for you
Hurry I’m fallin’, I’m fallin’, I’m fallin’

[Chorus]

Hurry I’m fallin’
