According to you
I’m stupid
I’m useless
I can’t do anything right

According to you
I’m not able
to decide
not allowed to use my mind
I’m a mess in distress
Can’t have a doctor whose mine
Even if it would save my life

But according to him
I’m beautiful and capable
He won’t make me follow his lead
According to him
I’m intelligent and able
Everything I need to be.
Everything is opposite
I don’t feel like stopping it
So baby tell me what I got to lose
He’s into me for everything I’m not

According to you
I can’t live
My own life
You have to lead me every place

I suck at buying cars because I don’t give the unions their pay
I’m the girl who does not spend enough
Your investment bankers get what I make

Oh, no
Why can’t you see me through his eyes?
It’s too bad you’re robbing me dizz-ay

Never thought I would think of comparing Doug Wilson to Angel

But Twilight is causing all sorts of weird alignment. Here’s Angel and here’s Doug Wilson, and both seem spot on.

And the strange blond girl is not Stephanie Meyer.

PS: I shouldn’t have to say this but I didn’t have in mind any comparison in the “confrontational style” that get Willow and Xander upset with Angel.  Also, go here to see Doug’s editorials on Twilight.

YouTube – J.R.R. Tolkien reciting “Namárië”.

Ai! laurië lantar lassi súrinen,
yéni únótimë ve rámar aldaron!
Yéni ve lintë yuldar avánier
mi oromardi lisse-miruvóreva
Andúnë pella , Vardo tellumar
nu luini yassen tintilar i eleni
ómaryo airetári -lírinen.

Sí man i yulma nin enquantuva?

An sí Tintallë Varda Oiolossëo
ve fanyar máryat Elentári ortanë,
ar ilyë tier undulávë lumbulë;
ar sindanóriello caita mornië
i falmalinnar imbë met, ar hísië
untúpa Calaciryo míri oialë.
Sí vanwa ná, Rómello vanwa, Valimar!

Namárië! Nai hiruvalyë Valimar.
Nai elyë hiruva. Namárië!

“Ah! like gold fall the leaves in the wind,
long years numberless as the wings of trees!
The long years have passed like swift draughts
of the sweet mead in lofty halls
beyond the West, beneath the blue vaults of Varda
wherein the stars tremble
in the voice of her song, holy and queenly.

Who now shall refill the cup for me?

For now the Kindler, Varda, the Queen of the stars,
from Mount Everwhite has uplifted her hands like clouds
and all paths are drowned deep in shadow;
and out of a grey country darkness lies
on the foaming waves between us,
and mist covers the jewels of Calacirya for ever.
Now lost, lost to those of the East is Valimar!

Farewell! Maybe thou shalt find Valimar!
Maybe even thou shalt find it! Farewell!”
