Two memes for the price of one!

My username is: [livejournal.com profile] cisskabob

My journal name is: Cissie. ...Because that's my name.

My title is: "Daylight is good at arriving at the right time." It's from All Things Must Pass by George Harrison:
All things must pass
None of life's strings can last
So, I must be on my way
And face another day

Now the darkness only stays the night-time
In the morning it will fade away
Daylight is good at arriving at the right time
It's not always going to be this grey


I like those lyrics. They're hopeful. (And for what it's worth, I picked this title a long time ago, when things... kind of sucked. They got better, just like the song says.)

My subtitle is: "Hope is floating on the breeze" From Waiting in the Weeds by the Eagles:
I've been stumbling through some dark places
Now I'm following the plow
I know I've fallen out of your good graces
It's alright now

And I've been waiting in the weeds
Waiting for the summer rain to fall upon the
Wild birds scattering the seeds
Answering the calling of the tide's eternal tune
The phases of the moon
The chambers of the heart
The egg and dart of small gray
Spiders spinning in the dark
In spite of all the times the web is torn apart

And I've been waiting in the weeds
Waiting for the time to come around again and
Hope is floating on the breeze
Carrying my soul high up above the ground and
I've been keeping to myself
Knowing that the seasons are slowly changing


My friends page is called: "I get by with a little help from my friends." Because I do. Also a Beatles lyric. Here, the song as used in Across the Universe.

My default userpic is: I like the colors in it, and I think it works as an illustration of me, if that makes any sense.


Name: Cissie

You are constantly hoping that your good fellowship and attitude and your 'love for your fellow man (or women)' will give you peace of mind. You need people - people around you to care for you and to show you that they care. It is this hope that keeps you going, the hope that makes you the type of person that indeed you are. Your own need for approval seemingly makes you always ready to help others and in exchange you seek love, warmth and understanding. You will always listen to others and you are open to new ideas which hopefully will prove fruitful and interesting.

You are very talented, imaginative and sensitive but you are holding back as you do not really like going it 'on your own'. In preference you would like to team up with someone, someone with similar attributes as your own, to explore - to seek out and go perhaps 'where no other man has trod before'. It is the unusual that attracts you and which will give you a sense of excitement and adventure.

You lack confidence and that is a great pity because deep down you are indeed a warm caring person. This lack of confidence is making you wary of being drawn into any open discussion or conflict and so you feel as if you should let matters lie and leave well alone. But there may be a pleasant surprise in store for you. You are beginning to grow and very soon - sooner than you believed possible - this warm loving new you will be available for all to see and to appreciate.

You are being unduly influenced by the situation that is all around you. You do not like the feeling of loneliness and whatever it is that seems to separate you from others. You know that life can be wonderful and you are anxious to experience life in all its aspects, to live it to the full. You therefore resent any restriction or limitations that are being imposed on you and you insist on going it alone.

You wish to be left in peace... no more conflict and no more differences of opinion. In fact you just don't want to be involved in arguments of any shape or form. All you want is for 'them' to get on with it - and to leave you alone.

Like Cassie said--interesting.

Wow. This is youish.

I promise I'll always love, warm, and understand you. Or try to understand you. <3

You think so?

I love you. Sometimes I don't understand me, so I think trying is the best thing.

I like all the lyrics!


I agree with Bart. That's very you.

Thanks! They're some of my favorite. (Which is... why I used them, I suppose. :-P)

I guess so. I'm not sure what I think of it.

[identity profile] butimwondergirl.livejournal.com 2009-09-15 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
Hee. Mine is less interesting, I'm afraid. I guess I use quotes other places.

Well, don't take it TOO much to heart, I just mean that it is fitting. What bothers you?

[identity profile] cisskabob.livejournal.com 2009-09-15 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
I sometimes use song lyrics like you use your pictures, I think.

I know. I'm not sure. I think it fits me, yeah. But--I don't think I feel as lonely as it makes me sound? Not anymore.

...And this: Your own need for approval seemingly makes you always ready to help others and in exchange you seek love, warmth and understanding. I don't know. It makes me wonder.



It makes me think of what Joey's saying. Do I help people because it's the right thing to do and I want to do it, or am I doing it for me?

...And am I reading waaaaay too much into a silly meme? :-p I think this is the most likely answer.

[identity profile] butimwondergirl.livejournal.com 2009-09-15 02:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I get it.

It's a GOOD thing you don't feel as lonely as you think it makes you sound, silly! What's so bad about wanting people to share your life with you? I think it's a strength.

And why can't it be BOTH? I mean, why should doing something for others make you feel BADLY? That makes no sense at all. I think you should just trust your instincts.

And yeah, sure you are. But so did I!! <3

Thanks, Cassie. I know you're right. I guess it was my turn to need to hear it? <333

It doesn't matter why you do it, Ciss. It matters that you do it.

[identity profile] cisskabob.livejournal.com 2009-09-15 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I know. I'm sorry, I don't know where that came from.

[identity profile] nokidflash.livejournal.com 2009-09-16 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
It's okay. You don't have to be sorry for sharing how you feel with your best friend. I'm sorry for interrupting. :P

[identity profile] cisskabob.livejournal.com 2009-09-16 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
You didn't interrupt. I'm not sorry for that, I'm sorry I was weird. Can we do something tonight? Go somewhere or I don't know.
