already wet and we're going to go swimming

*runs around like a mad thing*

I think I may be, subconsciously, one of those people who has to be busy. Because my holiday is filling up with commitments and events like nobody's business, I just agreed to work a five hour shift on Friday morning, and it seems every spare minute I'm rushing off to the shops and spending too much money.

Speaking of which - finally located The Tea Centre in Civic. I am in love. Asked about apple tea, but there is nowhere in Australia that makes proper apple tea, and Australia has strict laws against importing apple products (?!) so - upshot - no apple tea for me ever. *mopes*

They have a few blends with apple in them, though, so I may try some of those. Didn't have enough money to buy anything today, but walked around drooling until [livejournal.com profile] izumihydra took pity on my pathetic state and dragged me away to a nice sensible comic shop. Which had Lucifer 6. Which I could not afford. Woe.

I did, however, procure a nice denim skirt and some silver ribbon for my formal hairstyle and half of [livejournal.com profile] villainny's birthday present :D

And now I'm sitting here happily sipping caramel rooibos, which I dragged out of the back of the tea cupboard.

School friends! Anyone who has not RSVPed for my 18th and knows whether or not they can come, could you please comment on the friendslocked entry I did a few days ago? I am not psychic, sadly! I cannot tell from your vague silences that I should just assume you are coming! So far I have yeses for Tink, Ashie, Shivs, and Mari & Yuka. Everyone else - please check and comment. Thank you.

Ooh, I almost forgot - [livejournal.com profile] dredpiratejenny! I ducked into the city public library on a whim today, it being right next to my bus platform and me having a few minutes to spare...

A Place of Greater Safety was sitting on the shelf and will be procured as soon as I finish whizzing my way through Les Mis.



The Devil Went Down To Georgia - The Charlie Daniels Band

The devil went down to Georgia
He was looking for a soul to steal
He was in a bind cause he was way behind
And he was willing to make a deal
When he came across this young man
Sawing on a fiddle and playing it hot
And the devil jumped up on a hickory stump
And said, "Boy" let me tell you what
I guess you didn't know it
But I'm a fiddle player too
And if you'd care to take a dare
I'll make a bet with you
Now you played pretty good fiddle,boy
But give the devil his due
I bet a fiddle of gold against your soul
Cause I think I'm better than you
The boy said "My name's Johnny
And it might be a sin
But I'll take you bet, you're gonna regret
Cause I'm the best that's ever been"

Johnny rosin up your bow
And play your fiddle hard
Cause hell's broke loose in Georgia
And the devil deals the cards
And if you win
You get this shiny fiddle made of gold
But if you lose, the devil gets your soul

The devil opened up his case
And he said "I'll start this show"
And fire flew from his finger tips
As he rosined up his bow
And he pulled the bow across the strings
And it made a evil hiss
Then a band of demons joined in
And it sounded something like this

When the devil finished Johnny said
Well you're, pretty good old son
But sit down in that chair right there
And let me show you how it's done

Fire on the mountain run boys run
Devils in the house at the rising sun
chicken in the bread pan picking out dough
Granny does your dog bite no-child-no

The devil bowed his head
Because he knew that he'd been beat
And he laid that golden fiddle
On the ground at Johnny's feet
Johnny said "Devil just come on back
If you ever want to try again
I done told you once, you son of a bitch
I'm the best that's ever been" he played

Fire on the mountain run boys run
Devils in the house at the rising sun
chicken in the bread pan picking out dough
Granny will your dog bite no-Child-no

Black Cat Bone - Laika

Must have been the devil who changed my mind
Must have been the wind blowing not me crying
Half the joy of caving was the space I left behind
Now I’m back, angelheaded holloweyed
Placed myself at the eye of the storm
Just didn’t see the signpost to scorn
The blue sky wrinkled through my tears
Them darkness grounded all my fears
I gave him my sugar; he switched it for salt
Should have seem him coming that’s always my fault
Rocks for my pillow and sand for my bed
For better or worse I left him for dead
But two rivers to each other run
Words that shook me like the kick of a gun
Had something in my heart ain’t got no name
Turned out he left the same
Ain’t it lonesome, ain’t it sad
I was the only happiness he ever had
By indian river the vows were said
In a red devil’s dress I was wed

Bitch baby round lady
Came to me in a dream
Them lightning struck and thunder roared
And nothing was as it seemed
A two-headed doctor walked on the water
And buried a lemon outside my door
He turned and laughed, threw up his hands
When I asked him what it was for
He sang ’ships in the ocean rocks in the sea
Blonde-headed woman made a fool outta me’
Them everything went crazy
My shoes filled with blood
The water rose the wind did howl
The river looked ready to flood
I left my man asleep to drown
And ran without looking back around
Ring the bells of mercy
Send the sinnerman home
The keys to the kingdom are lost and gone
And I’m left to die alone
All these girls grown old now
All that long hair in the grave
Realize what’s done is done
It’s far too late to be saved
