Silence

Collide, face to face, I needed this

we're tongue tied, can't explain the emptiness

that's inside, loss of words and loneliness

we've tried time and time again.

Who's fooling who when our hearts know the truth?

we can't break through.

If I lose you now it will be the end of me.

If I lose you now, will you miss me?

To live life without you will probably kill me, so why would I walk out the door?

The silence kills me more.

We hide but can't avoid confusion on a

long night, going through the motions.

We've cried one too many times

and sometimes tears don't dry

on their own when a heart has gone cold

for all I know....

If I lose you now, it will be the end of me.

If I lose you now, will you miss me?

To live life without you will probably kill me, so why would I walk out the door?

Cause the silence kills me more.

Call off the funeral with a kiss.

Let the right things fall from your lips.

Save this.... save this....

The silence kills me.

where my head is at...

Waking up, I'm shaken up, I'm busting down the door
too many years in this sleeping town,
there's got to be something more
the yellow highway lines will ask me where I need to go
'get a long way from home'

Don't know where I'm running to
just what I'm running from
something I'm dead if I don't do
and might die wishing I had done
so let every mile behind me be a war that I have won
a long way from home

Setting out to find myself, it's a long and lonely road
heading south to where I'm told the streets are paved with gold
new constellations telling me I'm far from all I've known
such a long way from home

following the train tracks...
I swear that I won't look back...
won't even sneak a peek, my dear,
took down the rear view mirror
and I'm not looking back...
I swear... I'm not looking...

but I'm gazing out the windshield, let the wipers wave goodbye
and blur the face of someone I'll stop loving over time
we shared a bed, but not our dreams
still.. he's on my mind...

I'm letting go of memories
they will not have a hold on me
and one day I will clearly see
the road that lies ahead

and I'll know what I'm running to
and what I'm running from
something I'm dead if I don't do
and might die wishing I had done
so let every mile behind me be a war that I have won
get a long way from home

Come see me play! July 17th
Current mood: artistic

Hello my lovely, lovely friends!
Thanks to those who came to see me play last night! It was fun playing in such a stripped down fashion, and nice to knock the dust off the ol' pipes.

There was a lovely man from Billboard.com in the audience, so I'll be sure to post the review at some point.... if it's good.... I did tell him to write that I'm pretty... yeah, and I wasn't even drunk. Huh...

ANYWAYS:
Next week is the real deal- FULL BAND!

Got the talented Dave Lichens and Kevin Haaland on guitars, Ricky Jackson (from the Daylights) on bass and Adam C (from the Tim Meyers band) behind the drum kit.

Very excited to plug in and roar away!

This will all be going down on tues, july 17th at Molly Malone's, home of my very first LA show back in October. We go on at 10pm sharp, so you'd best be there... or beware... seriously, I'll hunt you down... ;)

and as always- I'll be reminding you sooner to the date. Just really excited.. :)

xoxo

another day, another survey
Current mood: geeky
Category: Blogging

Body: 50 Questions to stimulate the brain. Maybe?

1. Are you taller than your mom?
Uh huh. I think it's because she's shrinking.

2. What color is your shower curtain?
It's one of those lovely sliding glass dealies. My building was a bank back in the day, and was converted into apartments in '84, so it's pretty dated and looks pretty fucking cheesy. But hey, you don't get much say when you're renting!

3. What is the closest thing to you right now that is red?
My Bodum coffee maker, which is creating a lovely cup of much needed coffee as we speak. Mmmm... caffeine...

4. What is your ring tone?
No Fun- The Stooges

5. Does anything hurt on your body right now?
My bike accident knee hurts. Yay for crappy drivers! Yay for being in a foreign country and not being able to go to the doctor for free! Yay for injuries that last a lifetime!! Yay!


6. What color is your favorite pillow?
Ivory, decorated with dainty little gold sequins that like to stick to my face while I'm sleeping. And people wonder why I don't have sleepovers.


7.What is your favorite video game?
Wii tennis, but only cause I get to hit people and pretend it was an accident. Whoops! Sorry!

8. Had a nap today?
Nope, but I did have a nice day of sitting on my rooftop, reading a David Sedaris book and working on my Canadian glow. It was nice! Who needs a nap after a day like that?

9. Gold or silver?
Platinum

10. Is there an animal that creeps you out?
the gorilla

11.Who was the last person you rode an elevator with?
A random neighbour.

12. Did you go ice skating as a kid?
Yes, and I was terrible, but snowpants cushion the fall quite nicely. Wish I could wear those suckers 24/7. Well, maybe 23/7.

13. Ever have stitches?
I'm a clutz, so yeah... 4 on my chin from a bicycle accident. It was pretty gross, but I covered 'em up with hello kitty bandaids, which made it a much cuter injury.


14. Favorite non-alcoholic drink?
Diet Coke... it's probably eating my insides, but... mmmmmm.....


15. How long ago did you hug someone?
This weekend was full of them, complete with a tricky trickster hugging me then dunking me into the pool.


16. What's something you want to do before you die?
Hop over the sea and live in Paris or London for a bit. Listening to Rufus Wainwright and Feist's new records this week, and they're very inspirational... I'm going to a place that has already been burned down... I'm going to a place that has already disgraced...

17. Have you ever caught something on fire?
Set anything on fire? Hey... what have you heard??

18. Have you ever seen a ghost?
I think so... in the basement at La Cita... Apparently the old manager was found stuffed into a freezer down there... so knowing this story, I've convinced myself that I've seen him, when it was probably just a shadow or a co-worker fucking with me. My mom sees ghosts all the time though, so I live vicariously through her.


19. Have you ever seen northern lights?
I wish. The next best thing was going to my ex boyfriend's cottage two summers ago and seeing a blanket of stars, like nothing I've ever seen before. Breathtaking!


20. Do you know how to use chop sticks?
I'm at about 67%. I've been to tokyo, a bazillion sushi restaurants, but my co-ordination still leaves something to be desired. Everyone tries to be the one to teach me, which gets a little funny cause let's face it- I'm surprised that I can walk and talk at the same time.


21. Name something good that happened today.
Dave and I made a date to maybe write with Fefe Dobson sometime next week, which should be cool- that girl is sassy!


22. What room are you in?
Living room, at my 'desk'... which is really just the window sill.


23. Are you worried about something you can't control?
I'm always worried about something...


24. Do you take daily medications?
Well, it seems like I ALWAYS have a headache lately, so Tylenol has definitely become a staple of my daily routine..


25. Ever been in a fight?
Who hasn't, I ask you?


26. Are you wearing nail polish?
Yeah, it's not looking so hot though. Went for a mani/pedi with my room mates last week, then worked at the bar. By saturday they were destroyed. Now I'm just hanging on to the illusion that I'm a classy broad.


27. What time is it?
6:05pm

28. Innie or outie?
Innie, baby. Innie. Looks really pretty when I wear a new shirt and fabric bunnies get stuck in there, too! Sexy!


29. Ever used a Ouija board?
No, but I'm getting one. I want to contact the dead and create a reality tv show of some sort. Maybe I'd run around the world trying to contact dead rockstars and try to write songs with them. Wesley Willis, here I come!!


30. Sweet or Sour?
Bittersweet


31. Sun or Moon?
Moon. I absolutely fall in love with a beautiful moon. Have been known to send out mass texts to alert people that they should be looking at it. Yes, my parents were hippies. What's it to you?


33. Favorite eye color of the opposite sex?
Brown/Hazel. I can usually tell what they're thinking. I haven't really figured out blue eyed boys yet.


36. Time of day you were born?
The doctor scooped me out in the evening of Oct. 11th. After 2 weeks of expecting me, they grew impatient and I got the boot from the womb. I think I was holding out for the Scorpio sun sign. Sexy scorpio vs. indecisive Libra?.. I lost on that one.


37.Do you know your blood type?
Actually, no, no I don't. Good thing I'm not giving myself a blood transfusion! phewf!


38. Do you know how to kill a zombie?
Poke it in the brain with something sharp. Or just shoot the fucker.


40. What would you spend 5,000 dollars on right now if you were handed it?
A trip back to the motherland. I miss summer thunderstorms like you would not believe. Those and the family and friends, of course.

41. Name something annoying in public transit.
I hate it when you're sitting alone in a two seater, someone gets on and sits right next to you, even when there are PLENTY of open seats around you. I like my space.


42. Which animal(s) remind you of yourself?
Squirrels, though I've been told that sometimes I sound like I'm meowing when I'm talking. By sober people. Seriously.


43. Whats your background on your pc?
A Tara McPherson drawing of a girl whispering something to a cat in a graveyard, with bats flying overhead and a spilled Halloween basket at her feet. I heart her art.

44. Did you grow up in the city or country?
A city of what, 200 000+ people maybe? London, Ontario... I google image search London all the time lately, it's weird...

45. Would you ever consider going on a reality tv show if offered a large sum of money?
Totally. See question #29.


46. Have you flown in your dreams?
yes. and I loved every second of it.

47. What's one thing you're really good at cooking?
cupcakes. I think I make a mean sangria, but that doesn't count, does it?


48. Kisses or hugs?
Both are lovely, but it depends on the amount of clothing we're wearing... ooooooh!!! ;)


49. You have 10 dollars to spend in the dollar store.. what do you get?
Gum, Diet Coke, magazine, maybe some more tylenol...


50. Slurpee flavor?
I like mixing it up until it's practically Bog water. Kind of sums up my personality when you think about it...

the andrea and the unattainable
Current mood: curious

Why is it that I always find myself wanting men who show little to no interest in me, and can actually be downright mean at times, while if someone does seem to genuinely enjoy my company, I get freaked out by the attention and mostly assume there's something wrong with them.  Like freakishly wrong.  Like, kidnap me and make me put lotion on the body kind of wrong. 

Is it because I'm secretly (or not so-secretly) a drama queen?  Constantly searching for sad-little-me songwriting material? 

Then maybe it's just not the right person yet?  Maybe I've met the right person but geographical distance has fucked it up?  Maybe it's like that Nada Surf lyric that I keep listening to and applying to myself- 'To find someone you love, you gotta be someone you love'... maybe I'm not comfortable enough with myself yet to actually let someone worthy in?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not out there desperately seeking a boyfriend- I quite like being single and enjoy not having to do someone elses laundry along with mine...

still... it's a curious matter...

why the love of the unattainable?

wash over me
Current mood: amused

Reason #798 for thinking my mother is the best person on this planet...

was chatting with her on the phone the other day, and she informed me that at her last yoga class, during the relaxation/meditation portion, there was a song playing that involved a woman singing 'let the waves wash over me' over and over again.  So, my mother,  strangely moved by this song, started sending waves from her body to her daughters to heal us.  Waves from her body.  I don't know if I've gotten them yet, seeing as they have a few miles to travel... still...

this is the same woman who

*is convinced that a ghost tried to kill me when I was 2....

*sees my grandmother in birds...

*once told a boyfriend that I brought home to meet her that we were going to have 3 boys (!!! didn't manage to scare him off, did that myself a year or so later, but now she's convinced that it was just 'knowing' that he was the oldest of 3 boys and feeling that)....

*always calls me right before or immediately after something bad happens to me.  Without fail.

and now she's in a drum circle and sending body waves to her daughters.

...the apple doesn't fall far from the tree though, does it?

me in 88
Current mood: blah

1. ONE OF YOUR SCARS, HOW DID YOU GET IT?
a nice little slice on my chin occured at the age of 15, when my pant leg got stuck in the gears of my bike, sending me right over the handle bars and straight for the tarmac. 4 stitches, I think? I spent the next 2 weeks with different Hello Kitty bandaids on that sucker.

2. WHAT DOES YOUR CELL PHONE LOOK LIKE?
It's black, has a little Creature of the Black Lagoon hanging from it, and screams Depeche Mode's 'Enjoy the Silence' when someone's calling. I'm so dark.

3. WHAT MUSIC DO YOU LIKE TO LISTEN TO?
Lately I've been listening to a lot of Dolly Parton, Cher and Hall and Oats, which I never really knew I liked until I started driving around town with my friend Devin.

4. DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME YOU WERE BORN?
In the evening... 6:30ish...

5. WHAT DO YOU WANT MORE THAN ANYTHING RIGHT NOW?
To be writing a smash hit song instead of this survey. Am hoping this might get the juices going and combat the writer's block.

6. WHAT DO YOU MISS THE MOST?
I miss my friends and family back home. Wish I could buy a jet and fly them all down here, which is where the writing of a hit song comes in. Rockstar-songwriters buy jets all the time, right?

7. WHAT IS YOUR MOST PRIZED POSSESSION?
My SG, which has been taking a break lately, as I've not been playing many crazy rock shows. Soon enough...

8. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SMELL?
lavender, baked goods, cinnamon, gasoline (??), and coffee are all tied.

9. DO YOU GET CLAUSTROPHOBIC?
I do- an elevator, crowded club or bus can send me into hysterics. This has getting worse as I get older. As if I didn't have enough to worry about...

10. DO YOU GET SCARED IN THE DARK?
Only after watching a scary movie or if I'm walking alone at night.

11. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE COLOGNE / PERFUME TO WEAR?
Hypnotic Poison. It smells like vanilla and spices- and has been known to haunt some men after I'm long gone...

12. WHAT KIND OF HAIR DO YOU LIKE ON THE OPPOSITE SEX?
I prefer it to be a little shaggy/longish. I like my emo/rocker boys.

13. WHERE CAN YOU SEE YOURSELF BEING PROPOSED TO AT?
Vegas, in a drunken blur, followed by a sober "who the hell are you?!" the next morning.

14. COFFEE OR ENERGY DRINKS?
Both. I like a nice non fat latte to start the day, and a nice vodka redbull to begin the night.

15. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE PIZZA TOPPING?
Pineapples.

16. IF YOU CAN EAT ANYTHING RIGHT NOW, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
I'm kind of craving pizza now. Thanks, survey.

17. WHO IS THE LAST PERSON YOU MADE MAD?
Heather. Then we had a dance party and it was all good. At least, I THINK we're all good?

18. DO YOU SPEAK A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE?
oui. I'm also picking up a bit of spanish, since I'm pretty much living in Mexico.

19. WHAT WAS THE FIRST GIFT SOMEONE EVER GAVE YOU (OF THE OPPOSITE SEX?
uh....... probably boogers or a frog- or something equally as gross.

20. WOULD YOU FALL IN LOVE KNOWING THAT THE PERSON IS LEAVING?
It's been done, and my heart has broken, yet it will never learn it's lesson. Being the leaving party is no cup of tea, either...

21. WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO TELL SOMEONE HOW MUCH THEY MEAN TO YOU?
uh, telling them how much they mean to me.

22. SAY A NUMBER FROM ONE TO A HUNDRED:
11

23. BLONDES OR BRUNETTES?
Both. Hey, do we have something against Red Heads, here?

24. WHAT IS THE ONE NUMBER YOU CALL OFTEN?
my voicemail, since I'm constantly missing calls. Even with Dave Gahan screaming at me that all he's ever wanted, all he's ever needed is here in his arms...

25. WHAT ANNOYS YOU MOST?
Flakey people and those who chew with their mouths open. Those who embody both of these annoyances make my head explode.

26. HAS ANYONE EVER SPIT ON YOU?
No. I'm sure I've accidentally spit on people standing in the front row at Weekend shows, though. I'm a sloppy singer.

27. YOUR WEAKNESSES IN THE OPPOSITE SEX?
Warm eyes, nice arms, and sexily soothing voices. Buckets of talent and nice tattoos don't hurt, either...

28. WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST JOB?
I had a paper route when I was little, that I absolutely HATED. I used to pretend that I was the goddess of weather, so if it rained it was because I'd willed it to do it. Yeah, um, I was an interesting child...

29. EVER DONE A PRANK CALL?
I think it's manditory at grade 6 sleepovers, isn't it?

30. WHAT WERE YOU DOING BEFORE YOU FILLED OUT THIS SURVEY?
Easting sushi and shopping at a Korean grocery store with my house mate Jessica.

31. IF YOU COULD GET PLASTIC SURGERY WHAT WOULD IT BE?Have always hated my nose, wouldn't mind shaving a bit of that sucker off. Like, I've hated it since I was a teeeny little girl. A boy at summer camp told me it was big and ugly and that's stuck with me ever since. Gotta love deeply imbedded childhood traumas.

32. WHY DID YOU FILL OUT THIS SURVEY?
Cause I love surveys. I'm getting free products and coupons sent to me, right?

33. WHAT DO YOU GET COMPLIMENTED ABOUT MOST?
Well, when I sing people are awfully nice. Body part? Eyes. Aaaand, a mexican man told me that my ass was 'money'. ;)

34. WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF ALCOHOL BECAME ILLEGAL?
Start up an underground moonshine operation.

35. WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY?
What I've been asking for since the age of 4: a pony.

36. HOW MANY KIDS DO YOU WANT?
One, maybe two... enough to round out a family band.

37. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
I was supposed to be named Jasmine, after a close friend of my mother's. Unfortunately my grandmother 'once had a dog named Jasmine', so that was out. Instead, I was named after one of my dad's exes. I think she was the daugher of a former Premiere and once tried to kill herself. Uh..... yeah.

38. DO YOU WISH ON SHOOTING STARS?
I do. They usually turn out to be satellites though.

39. WHICH FINGER[S] IS[ARE] YOUR FAVORITE[S]?
My middle fingers. They curve towards the baby fingers a little, something that my mother passed on to me and my sister. Genetics are funny like that.

40. WHEN DID YOU LAST CRY?
On Wednesday night, after watching American Idol. A 63 year old man broke my heart.

41. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?
It's ok, can get a little messy if I'm in a rush.

42. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT?
I used to LOVE macaroni loaf. I'm on to the grown-up shaved chicken now.

43. ANY BAD HABITS?
Of course. I'm a bad apple.

44. WHAT IS YOUR MOST EMBARRASSING CD YOU OWN?
It's a secret... but it rhymes with Hairy Banilow.

45. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON, WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU?
uh huh.

46. DO LOOKS MATTER?
I'd like to say "no", but I did just move to LA... there are a lot of beautiful people here. Still, without a nice personality under that skin, looks won't get you anywhere with me. Ok, maybe a one night stand... but that's IT, I tell you!

47. HOW DO YOU RELEASE ANGER?
I cry... then I scream and cry... mostly, a lot of crying. I play the victim a little too often...

48. WHERE IS YOUR SECOND HOME?
La Cita. When I'm there I'm either making money or drinking for free. Sometimes both, which works very well for me!

49. DO YOU TRUST OTHERS EASILY?
I've always been a little too trusting, something that's been a problem for me. Am working on it... swimming with the sharks can teach a girl a thing or two.

50. WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE TOY AS A CHILD?
My Barbie and The Rockers collection- dolls with crazy hair, neon outfits and eye makeup up to their eyebrows, complete with plastic guitars, keyboards and stage. AAAAaaand, a tape to play! My parents only have themselves to blame...

51. DO YOU USE SARCASM?
My dad is British, I was raised on the stuff.

52. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN A MOSH PIT?
Yes, never on purpose though. I'm a wimp when it comes to elbow throws and floor punching.

53. WHAT DO YOU LOOK FOR IN A GUY/GIRL?
See # 27, and add Loyalty, charm, similar values, yada yada yada... someone who screams 'keeper'.

54. WHAT ARE YOUR NICKNAMES?
It all started with Andie or Andie Pants (?) as a kid, then Black Deathrea... Hypochondria was a popular one... now it's 'the other andrea', andrea black, or the champ (thanks, Warren)

55. DO YOU UN-TIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF?
Have to, cause they're high top chucks, which don't come off unless you do.

56. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM FLAVOR?
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. Damnit, there's another craving... stupid survey is going to make me fat.

57. WHAT"S YOU FAVORITE COLOUR?
Black... but that's not a colour, so I'll go with dark pink. Which looks very good with black, by the way...

58. HOW MANY WISDOM TEETH DO YOU HAVE?
None. Had them taken out last year, and felt a substantial drop in my IQ.

59. WHO/WHAT DO YOU MISS MOST RIGHT NOW?
London/Toronto and all the friends and family there. Oh me and my dream chasing...

60. BEER OR LIQUOR?
Vodka, baby. Vodka...

Damien Rice's new cd. I lurve him.

62. LAST THING YOU ATE?
kimchi sushi rolls, followed by a sugar free chocolate pudding.

63. LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE?
Devin. Cause she's rad is why.

64. THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE IN THE PREFERRED SEX?
the preferred sex? ooooh, I get it. Faces.. I like a good face.

65. WHERE WERE YOU BORN?
St Joseph's Hospital in the lovely London, Ontario, Canada. Same hospital as Ryan Gosling, which I mentioned to him one night at the bar. He didn't remember me the next time I saw him, so I guess that bonding moment meant more to me...

66. SCARIEST THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED TO YOU?
Getting lost in the sand dunes in Bermuda when I was little. I thought I'd never find my parents again. That and driving through the Rockies with my band. It was night time, it was snowing, and we were fucking crazy to have tried it.

67. FAVORITE DRINKS?
Diet Coke, red or white wine, and have recently discovered a love for Horchada (a mexican wonder made with rice, milk, sugar and cinnamon)

68. FAVORITE JOKE?
What's brown and sticky?................... a stick!!! hahahahahaha.

69. FAVORITE SPORT?
Bowling.

70. YOUR HAIR COLOR?
I'm in between dye jobs, so it's currently a brownish-black. I've been thinking that red could be cool...

71. YOUR EYE COLOR?
Brown, with pools of green in them, greenest in the sunlight. They used to be dark, dark brown. Is this a disease? Anyone?

72. DO YOU WEAR GLASSES?
Unfortunately. Since I was a wee lass. Mostly I wear the contact lense though. You'd never know I was a four eyed monster.

73. SIBLINGS?
4 of 'em. 2 sisters (Emma and Imogen) and 2 brothers (Aidan and Evan). I'm the oldest and coolest of the bunch.

74. FAVORITE MONTH?
October. My birthday, thanksgiving AND halloween, and the month can be called ROCKtober. How great is THAT?

Love it. Tuna sashimi is my favorite.

76. LAST THING YOU WATCHED:
Six Feet Under, the episode in which Ruth keeps getting packages of poo delivered to her house.

77. FAVORITE DAY OF THE YEAR:
October 11th, cause it's the day I was welcomed into this crazy world.

Hairy Banilow

so many...

85. BIGGEST TURN ON?
good kissers

86. PETS?
I'm a terrible mother and left my baby in Canada with his father. I like to joke that I lost him in the divorce, but I'm secretly dying on the inside every time I say it. I think I'll get a dog when I've decided I can take care of myself.

Quitting... next week... I swear...

88. BEST DRUNKEN MOMENT?
Hmmm........ If only I could remember.... there was this one time, in Vegas...

conflicted
Current mood: contemplative

Earlier today, after a little  workout at the downtown YMCA, I was waiting at the subway station and an older mexican man approached me.

He said "money", then pointed at my ass.

At first, I was horribly offended.  Was he commenting on my posterior?!  How dare he?!  Then, after a nice little scowl (I'm very good at those),  I looked down and noticed that indeed, there were a couple dollar bills poking out of my back pocket.

Surprised, I smiled and thanked him, tucked the bills back into my pocket, then got on the train.   Then I started thinking- wait a minute... that was nice of him to point out, as no one likes losing money, but if he noticed the wayward dollars, doesn't that mean that he WAS checking out my ass?

Then my head exploded because I didn't know what to feel. 

Ok, it didn't explode, but really, was I meant to feel a)Thankful, b)Offended, or even c)Flattered?

I chose d)confused

It was only 4 bucks, anyway.  huh.
