i just can't get this song out of my head. and co-worker, who doesn't know me long enough, is shocked by my unabashed, out of tune rendition of the guns 'n' roses hit, caused by not-enough sleep and a deep reluctance to do work.
complete with air guitar, mind you.
never figured me for a rock fan? yeah, i'm a closet one (like really closet. even more closet than my ah lian tendencies). i was probably a g&r fan since my brother, with whom i then shared a tiny room, decided g&r was cool, started putting scary posters of the band up and blasting their CDs 24/7.
i remember both brothers terrorising me, making me choose between their sketches of the band, both threatening to do something nasty if i didn't choose theirs.
it all resulted in the posters giving me nightmares (they were scary skeletons and dark twisted trees and i was what, five?!), me putting up BOTH their sketches and claiming them equally fantastic (they were) and... me knowing all the words to all the songs. stop laughing.
anyway, after prancing around the editorial room in a very Axl Rose fashion, i realised i haven't been this... crazy for ages. those who knew me since JC, especially the councillors, may remember my nutty, 'cranky' behaviour everytime i was sleep-deprived and on a coffee high.
and then i mellowed down in uni. maybe its because we mostly sat in the "hell" section of the arts canteen, where the temperatures were hot and people hotter. (and therefore i can't act like a bloody idiot)
whatever it is, i realise i still have the lyrics in my brain somewhere. and when g&r comes on, wham, it all comes pouring out.
co-worker: angeline.... i think i will work from the computer outside today. clearly, you need... space.
bah.
