I worked out that I have seen 20 Keanu Reeves films! I haven't even seen all of The Matrix trilogy yet. I also worked out I've watched 14 Robert Downey Jr. films, 15 if you count Incerdible Hulk and I've watched 11 Leonardo Dicaprio films.

You can tell I'm bored.

This post is pretty pointless. Noodles and pie.

I'm on episode four of Dexter and am loving it. Micheal C. Hall is in Six Feet Under another show I love and is amazing as Dexter too.

That's all I wanted to say really.

Lee: "Can you sell us some weed?"
Moz:"Weed?"
Lee: "I need to get out of it."
Moz:" You don't."
Lee:"I do."
Moz:"Fella, you're already as far out as it's possible to get. You go any further out then you start coming back in again."
Lee: "I hatched out of a giant copper egg."
Moz:" Well there you go."
Jason: It's going in the new video. He's coming out of an egg and I'm inside a big packet of bacon."
Lee: "Bacon."
Moz: "Lee listen, are you seeing a doctor or a psychologist?"
Lee: "I'm seeing all sorts."

Andrew-Lee Potts in Ideal. I am in love with these scenes, I keep watching them on Youtube over and over again.

Hehe. Look at the little mortified dead dude! Just so you know I'm not mortified I just like the emoticon thingy.

The poem I had before was annoyingly long so I thought I would do another post. I have no idea what to write.

I've been trying to upload this picture for hours but I don't know how to make the file size smaller.

I thought I would post some of the amazing people I have fav'd recently but I'm not sure how you do that, if you just use the embeded or what? Can anyone tell me?

I am starving, it is after two o'clock and who knows when I'll be eating lunch my stomach is starting to complain.

I tryed to put all my stamps on here, it failed! Do you have to have a premium membership to do that??

Oh well. That was a pretty boring post.

Over and out.

Could we dig up this long-buried treasure,
Were it worth the pleasure,
We never could learn love's song,
We are parted too long.

Could the passionate past that is fled
Call back its dead,
Could we live it all over again,
Were it worth the pain!

I remember we used to meet
By an ivied seat,
And you warbled each pretty word
With the air of a bird;

And your voice had a quaver in it,
Just like a linnet,
And shook, as the blackbird's throat
With its last big note;

And your eyes, they were green and grey
Like an April day,
But lit into amethyst
When I stooped and kissed;

And your mouth, it would never smile
For a long, long while,
Then it rippled all over with laughter
Five minutes after.

You were always afraid of a shower,
Just like a flower:
I remember you started and ran
When the rain began.

I remember I never could catch you,
For no one could match you,
You had wonderful, luminous, fleet,
Little wings to your feet.

I remember your hair - did I tie it?
For it always ran riot -
Like a tangled sunbeam of gold:
These things are old.

I remember so well the room,
And the lilac bloom
That beat at the dripping pane
In the warm June rain;

And the colour of your gown,
It was amber-brown,
And two yellow satin bows
From your shoulders rose.

And the handkerchief of French lace
Which you held to your face -
Had a small tear left a stain?
Or was it the rain?

On your hand as it waved adieu
There were veins of blue;
In your voice as it said good-bye
Was a petulant cry,

'You have only wasted your life.'
(Ah, that was the knife!)
When I rushed through the garden gate
It was all too late.

Could we live it over again,
Were it worth the pain,
Could the passionate past that is fled
Call back its dead!

Well, if my heart must break,
Dear love, for your sake,
It will break in music, I know,
Poets' hearts break so.

But strange that I was not told
That the brain can hold
In a tiny ivory cell
God's heaven and hell.
