Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to the planet
Welcome to existence
Everyone's here
Everyone's here
Everybody's watching you now
Everybody waits for you now
What happens next
What happens next
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened before
Welcome to the fallout
Welcome to resistance
The tension is here
Tension is here
Between who you are and who you could be
Between how it is and how it should be
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened
Maybe redemption has stories to tell
Maybe forgiveness is right where you fell
Where can you run to escape from yourself?
Where you gonna go?
Where you gonna go?
Salvation is here
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor
I dare you to move
I dare you to move
Like today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened
Today never happened before

Well, so I got through today. It didn't end so badly. Went down to Queenstown Stadium to run with Karen in the end. Got to visit her house too. It was a good run, although I definitely didn't cover as much as I would have at ECP. We didn't keep count of the number of rounds we did around the track, 'cos we were talking half the time. Probably about 7 or 8 rounds, so counting the run from her place to the stadium and back, we did maybe 3.5 km max.
But the talking was definitely a good thing. We shared our respective problems and stories about work, people and relationships. And when we weren't talking, we were deep in our own thoughts but as Karen says, in companiable silence - when we both know exactly what the other person's thinking about but respect each other enough to not intrude. I like that. I love running with and talking to Karen. It's like exercise and therapy all rolled into one happy, de-stressing activity. Definitely felt better afterwards. Yep, we should definitely do this more often, girl! Once a week at Quessnstown, and once at ECP. Unless we plan other activities throughout the whole week - and that would be a good thing! I need more exercise, and definitely activities to keep my mind off stuff.
Speaking of stuff, we had a striptease today! Spread the lurrrrrrrve, y'all! Yeah, I guess the office IS getting slightly more funkified these days. Haha. More to come? We can only hope. I suppose something will be up on Youtube eventually, and then I'll post it. All things considered, I think it went pretty well, with our very own Hot Stripper Boy leaving the ladies swooning and drooling... ok well, maybe not so dramatic, but I think they liked it. Hee. Now if only all guys had bods like that... *gets dreamy with a faraway look in her eyes*
Anyway, I've been doing a lot of thinking. Running with Karen helped crystallise my thoughts. I know what I have to do, and I don't exactly like it, but I guess it's the smart thing to do. Of course, human nature is such that the more you know the things you must do, the more you want to rebel. But *sigh* what to do? It's do or die... or at least suffer the consequences, and they're probably just as bad as death, or worse.
So ok, I'll give it a go. I have been trying, but I seem to keep slipping. I need a check on my emotions. I thought things were working out, but I can't help feeling that somewhere along the line, I blew it. Maybe I did. Problem is, I'm enjoying myself so much I don't want to turn back. But I'll... try. For everyone's sake. *SIGH* I REALLY don't like this. *blows a million raspberries to relieve her feelings* Nyah.
Forgive the perverse mood, I'm... in a perverse mood. And if you don't get it, it's ok, you don't have to. Very few people on this earth, I think, will ever truly understand me. Probably only one or two actually do, right now. Which is why I wonder if I'll ever find anyone else. But hey, whatever. It's time to let go.
When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
When the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
High up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
If you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face
And I...
Tears stream down on your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I...
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
