But boys will be boys, and girls have those eyes that'll cut you to ribbons sometimes. (Here's Lookin' At You Kid by The Gaslight Anthem)

[ Naomi stops short, looking obviously annoyed -- she wasn't expecting anyone else to be here at the park, let alone occupying her favorite bench, at this time of morning. ]

Hit shuffle and give me a taste of whatever comes up, or we can do whatever.

[It's a good day in Ueda. Yukimura's just lying in the sun, letting the heat wash over him.]

Thomas Raith || The Dresden Files || Open

[emptynight]

He’s a good time cowboy casanova/ Leaning up against the record machine/ Looks like a cool drink of water/ But he’s candy-coated misery/ He’s the devil in disguise/ A snake with blue eyes/ And he only comes out at night/ Gives you feelings/ that you don’t want to fight/ You better run for your life

[4letters4ninja]

[Her, run? Yeah right. Instead, she plops a cowboy hat on his head.]

Very fitting.

Irene Adler || BBC Sherlock || Open

[womanwhobeatyou]

I may be bad but I'm perfectly good at it.

[He's sure he'll figure out some reason to explain to Peter how he ended up in Paris, accidentally handcuffed to a dominitrax, and left for dead in the maze of corridors beneath the Louvre.

Right.

Sure.]

Parties always end like this with you?

Leo Baskerville | Pandora Hearts | OTA

[losthismind]

I thought you'd be out of my mind/ And I'd finally found a way /To learn to live without you/ I thought it was just a matter of time/ Till I had a hundred reasons/ Not to think about you, but it's just not so/ After all this time I still can't let go

[Franz Ferdinand: Darts of Pleasure

You are the latest contender. You are the one to remember. You are the villain who sends her. Light or dark, fantastic passion. I know that you will surrender. I know that you will surrender. I want this fantastic passion. We'll have fantastic passion

You can feel my lips undress your eyes. Undress your eyes, undress your eyes. Words of love and words so leisured. Words of poisoned darts of pleasure. Died... and so you died.]

Yamamoto Takeshi | KHR | OTA

[crookedsmiles]

I'm gonna wish I had a storm warning, I'm gonna wish I had a sign. I'm gonna wish I had a little heads up, little lee-way, little more time. Some kind of radar system, locked in on love. I got a feeling by the time the night finds the morning, I'm gonna wish I had a storm warning.

Hello, I must be going, I cannot stay, I came to say, I must be going. I'm glad I came, but just the same I must be going. La La. For my sake you must stay. If you should go away, You'd spoil this party I am throwing. I'll stay a week or two, I'll stay the summer thru, But I am telling you, I must be going. Before you go, Will you oblige us, And tell us of your deeds so glowing? I'll do anything you say, In fact I'll even stay! Good! But I must be going.

Simon Bellamy | Misfits

So tomorrow if you meet me in my tangle of apology -- rest assured, I used to be someone.

[sup]

Beyond the white light / You don't know if heavens in your mind / And the devil is just a twinkle in your eye / You've led a short life / Short from the moment your were born / To the moment that the sun filled the sky / Remember long nights buddy? / When we were kids and love was ours to find / You've led a short life / Not even Valium can' kill that k k k k kick inside

We're just two cats sitting on a hot tin roof / We're just two young hearts running down the backstreets like we never went to school / We're just soldiers fighting in a war against our own advice / We're just birds of paradise -- your vegas, birds of paradise.

Bird's eye view. Awake the stars 'cause they're all around you. Wide eyes will always brighten the blue. Chase your dreams and remember me, sweet bravery. After all, those wings will take you up so high. So bid the forest floor goodbye as you race the wind and take to the sky.

[windypop]

i can tell that you're under my spell / and it won't be long till you're writing a song / about me

i'm not at all like your other fans / i'm really down to earth and i'm in a band / i'm funny and i'm quirky which is just like you / and that's how i know you like me too

remember the time when i -- / -- oh fuck. / how does that verse go? -- debbie miller, carrots & peas.

If you could only see the beast you've made of me, I held it in but now it seems you've set it running free, The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound, I hunt for you with bloody feet across the hallow'd ground....

Rapunzel | Tangled | Open to All

[daydreaming]

[Okay, gonna do a challenge here. I'm only going to do songs on the current playlist I'm listening to. Random shuffle. This should be fun. Anyway, let's start:

So maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
But there's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two is better than one
- "Two Is Better Than One" by Boys Like Girls ft. Taylor Swift]

Botan | Yu Yu Hakusho | Open to All

[ferries]

[Suckin' on chili dog, outside the taste freeze
Diane sitting on Jacky's lap got his hands between her knees
Jacky say "Hey, Diane,let's run off behind the shady trees
Dribble off those bobby brooks let me do what I please" saying:

Oh yeah, life goes on
Long after the thrill of living is gone, sayin'
Oh yeah, life goes on
Long after the thrill of living is gone
They walk on
- "Jack & Diane" by John Mellencamp]

Sam Winchester | Supernatural | Open to All

[exorcising]

[Winter is here again, O Lord
Haven't been home in a year or more
I hope she holds on a little longer
Sent a letter on a long summer day
Made of silver, not of clay
Ohh I've been runnin' round this dusty road

Ooh, the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
- "Wheel in the Sky" by Journey]

[electricjesus]

[Highway rest stops are always full of monsters, fact of life.

The gentleman sliding onto the seat next to Sam at the counter, for example. The cutlery jumps off the table to meet his hand, magnetically. He huffs, and sets it back down, glancing up quickly to see who may have noticed.]

Chi-Chi | Dragon Ball | Open to All

[princessbride]

[Oh mama, I've been years on the lamb and had a high price on my head
Lawman said get him dead or alive now it's for sure he'll see me dead
Dear mama, I can hear you crying you're so scared and all alone
Hangman is coming down from the gallows and I don't have very long

The jig is up, the news is out they finally found me
The renegade who had it made retrieved for a bounty
Never more to go astray
The judge'll have revenge today on the wanted man
- "Renegade" by Styx]

Ariel | The Little Mermaid | Open to All

[seacups]

[Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
Maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have

If I made you feel second best
Girl I'm sorry I was blind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
- "Always on My Mind" by Willie Nelson]

Charlotte Baskerville | Pandora Hearts

[fondles]

(Just gonna stand there and watch me burn
But that's alright because I like the way it hurts
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry
But that's alright because I love the way you lie

"Love The Way You Lie" - Eminem ft Rihanna )

Aurican | Dragonlance

[returnsmagic]

War, he sung, is toil and trouble;
Honour, but an empty bubble;
Never ending, still beginning,
Fighting still, and still destroying:
If the world be worth thy winning,
Think, O think it worth enjoying;
Lovely Thais sits beside thee,
Take the good the gods provide thee —
The many rend the skies with loud applause;
So Love was crowned, but Music won the cause.

- Georg Friedrich Händel, Alexander's Feast

[lostwithoutmyblogger]

You’re on the lam, you’re on the run
Don’t give your name, you don’t have one
And don’t look no one in the eye
That town will try to suck you dry
They’ll suck your brain, They’ll suck your breath
They’ll pluck the heart right out your chest
They’ll truss you up in your Sunday best
And stuff your mouth with cotton
