Love this song, right now! Somebody I used to know by Gotye
You know how people always say that they dedicate a certain song to someone? Well I can imagine someone in particular who would dedicate this song to me and I would say the same that the girl says to them in this song. lol So it is kinda perfect!
But that was many moons ago. Now I just love the song! Here are the lyrics:
[Gotye:]
Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you felt so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it’s an ache I still remember
You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I’ll admit that I was glad that it was over
But you didn’t have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don’t even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
No you didn’t have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don’t need that though
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know
[Kimbra:]
Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I’d done
And I don’t wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn’t catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know
[Gotye:]
But you didn’t have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don’t even need your love
But you treat me like a stranger and that feels so rough
And you didn’t have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don’t need that though
Now you’re just somebody that I used to know
Somebody
(I used to know)
Somebody
(Now you’re just somebody that I used to know) [x2] -
Phone Manners
NEVER EAT WHILE YOU’RE ON THE PHONE!!!!
It’s one of the rudest things you can do. I get it if you’re the one that gets called and were in the middle of eating. Take a break or tell them you’ll call them back. And if you are the one making the call then for goodness sake swallow your food before you start making phone calls.
It’s gross!

THIS SONG!! It gets me every time.
Roll away your stone, I’ll roll away mine
Together we can see what we will find
Don’t leave me alone at this time,
For I’m afraid of what I will discover inside
Cause you told me that I would find a hole,
Within the fragile substance of my soul
And I have filled this void with things unreal,
And all the while my character it steals
Darkness is a harsh term don’t you think?
And yet it dominates the things I see
It seems that all my bridges have been burned,
But you say that’s exactly how this grace thing works
It’s not the long walk home that will change this heart,
But the welcome I receive with the restart
Darkness is a harsh term don’t you think?
And yet it dominates the things I see
Darkness is a harsh term don’t you think?
And yet it dominates the things I’ve seen
Stars hide your fires,
These here are my desires
And I won’t give them up to you this time around
And so, I’ll be found with my stake stuck in this ground
Marking the territory of this newly impassioned soul
But you, you’ve gone too far this time
You have neither reason nor rhyme
With which to take this soul that is so rightfully mine -

- The boyfriend: Nice! Good job, latte. I call you latte because you're hot.

Need a moment to rant
I love my job! I do. Truthfully and honestly! All I would ask for is more money just because I have major events coming up that I need money for. Other than that, it’d be perfect. But I need a moment to talk about students…
None of you are my students, so this doesn’t directly apply to you but I hope that if you are someone who does what I’m about to describe, you will take a look at yourself and make some changes (lol, but seriously):
As a COLLEGE student YOU are responsible for every aspect of YOUR education. That includes your student financial account, your registration, your assignments, your textbooks, EVERYTHING! Even when you are a part of a program that caters to you and offers you more personalized services, YOU must make sure everything is correct with your education. If you leave it up to someone else there will be errors and surprises. So don’t go off talking sh*t in some public forum if something goes wrong because you weren’t paying attention! A University isn’t a supernatural entity. It does not function without living, breathing, human beings within it turning the wheels. With that being said… Human beings make mistakes! And although we have some of the best people working in different departments on making things better and improving your student experience—things/mistakes happen. Technology isn’t without it’s flaws either. Live with that and accept it. And I’m able to say this because I was a student for the university I work for for 6 years! I never left it up to the University to tell me when a hold has been removed, to charge me the correct amount for my classes, to process my financial aid application, nothing. I bothered every single department in the university until they got it right, every time.
Now, let me take a minute to get pissed off at the people who made the mistake. You’re ridiculous! And you made me and my program look bad. Thanks a lot! I promise you, now that I know what’s going on it’ll never happen again. And yes, I did take it personally when one of my students bad-mouthed the program because I was the bearer of bad news and ultimately seen as the person who committed the mistake.
Also, if you’re in graduate school—-It’s hard. It’s demanding. And NOBODY should be holding your hand at this point. You have no idea how difficult it was for me to navigate the entire college experience on my own. I worked full time, took 12 credits a semester, did internships, and during the last semester completed a qualifying paper. It’s possible and you can do it if you REALLY wanted to. Otherwise, grad school isn’t for you. Sorry. Live with that and accept it. Not everything in life is going to come easy. As one of my mentors once said “It builds character”, while referring to taking on difficult tasks.
Finally, as a prospective student to ANY program at ANY university here are a few rules to follow:
- when you make an appt to learn more about a program, show up and be on time.
- Don’t talk to the program staff like you know more than them.
- Do your research before contacting someone from the program. With the internet available there is so much information right at your fingertips. It looks lazy when you haven’t even looked at a program’s website before contacting them.
- During program inquiries, be specific about the information you are looking for and ask specific questions.
- DO NOT send recommendation letters from friends, co-workers, neighbors, family, etc. Send recommendation letters from PROFESSORS! It looks TERRIBLE that you can’t get even ONE professor to write you a letter. Supervisors are good too, but if it’s from your supervisor for when you worked at walgreens 5 years ago it’s a joke. Get a volunteer job in the field you are looking to major in and they’ll help with rec letters.
- And please make sure your resume looks good and professional.
- Oh and XxsweetyxX87@aol.com or OoImyourqtXX@yahoo.com are not professional emails!! GET NEW ONES! PUT YOUR NAME IN IT. EMAIL ACCOUNTS ARE FREEEEEEEEE!!!!
ok. I’m done now. I feel better. LEt’s hope I don’t get fired for venting. lol I really need a job. :]
