A World Without Sun :(

[rebness]

So the scorching Spanish straight-into-summer weather arrived yesterday, giving me a headstart on destroying my skin. Hannah and I rejoiced muchly, until today proved to be sodden, grey and freezing. Pah. 

I've mooched around the house all day, looking at flats with Han (that's an entire entry in itself) and cooking and shizz. Except now I'm not hungry, I feel that apathetic. The only remedy was some Wikipedia vandalising, which admittedly lifted my spirits somewhat before I went to Youtube for some good weepy music. 

One of my very, very favourite songs is A World Without Love, written by Lennon and McCartney and given to Peter & Gordon to sing. It's such a beautiful, melancholy song with a tender refrain. Bonus points for the sad Alsatian in the video, which made me love it as a child. I love listening to cover versions of my favourite songs and will hunt down as many versions as possible. This one yields awesome covers such as those by guys in their basements to The Beatles to Vonda Shepherd. Love, love, love. 

Except, inevitably, this version. It sounds like such a show tune and so insincere. DUNT MOCK MY MELANCHOLY, you. >: 

ETA: No, there is always someone worse on Youtube.

No. She'll be silky smooth in the morning and won't get moonburn.

I have no idea why I'm so rambly today.

LOLZ my friend from high school whom I no longer speak to used to say we had moontans because of our lily white skin.

Why have I not finished my essay yet?
