Artist's Comments

Seemed to stop my breath
My head on your chest
Waiting to cave in
From the bottom of my...
Hear your voice again
Could we dim the sun
And wonder where we've been
Maybe you and me
So kiss me like you did
My heart stopped beating
Such a softer sin

(I'm melting, I'm melting)
In your eyes
I lost my place

Could stay a while
And I'm melting
In your eyes
Like my first time
That I caught fire
Just stay with me
Lay with me
Now

Never caught my breath
Every second I'm without you I'm a mess
Ever know each other
Trust these words are stones
why cuts aren't healing
Learning how to love

You could stay and watch me fall
And of course I'll ask for help
Just stay with me now
Take my hand
We could take our heads off
Stay in bed just make love that's all
Just stay with me now

In your eyes
Lets sleep till the sun burns out
I'm melting in your eyes (I'm melting in your eyes)
Let's leave till the sun burns out
I'm melting in your eyes


~I caught fire by The Used

---

Uhmm ... let's skip back about a month or so, to the second Saturday of June! On this fabulous Saturday, I was boarding onto a HUGE cruise boat. Most of my day was spent standing in lines, hanging out in the cabin, watching movies and the tv, sitting on the balcony to watch the Vancouver habor, doing emergency drills, pulling in luggage and meeting Corin that night.
Wells, it was also a very special day for someone very dear and close to me, whom I thought about every single day of my vacation and wished that she could be able to see all of the pretty things I have been seeing. Of course if you're like "ME?!", well, if your name is Jag and you live in Quebec, Canada ... yeah you. :3
So, happy very belated birthday to JAG ~duckiness and sorry I couldn't get this up sooner! n___n :cake::cookie::rose::heart::airborne:
You mean so much to me, more than you probably think. It's hard for me to even imagine where I would be without you ... possibly a terrible person or possibly wouldn't be here right now typing this. You've helped me conquer most of my emotions that I am not able to do so myself, you're always there when I need someone to vent to, you've seen the darker sides of me that no one knows about, you're just someone that I could never live without. And I am glad that 4 years ago, at the "Rainbow Guild" on neopets, I was able to meet you.

That song up there is an awesome song. I could be all angry or depressed but after hearing that song, I'm in a lighter mood and my imagination is filled with images like these. Well, it had been a while since I listened to the song, and during the first couple of weeks I was having trouble trying to come up with a picture. I tired listening to Yellowcard ... that wasn't too good cause their songs are about love, but love like breaking up and crap like that. Turned to Limp Bizkit, sorta the same as Yellowcard with the love stuff. Then I realized I ran out of CD's that had "love" related songs on ... until I noticed that both of The Used's CDs were in the back of my CD case. I listened to the self-titled first, Noise and Kisses was the first song that stirred up something in my imagination. Then I popped in their other ablum, In Love and Death, and listened to I caught fire a couple thousand times. This is what came out.
Took a while to draw out cause it was hard with the roads bumpy and no time to secretly draw (cause my parents always question about my art ~_~), so actually, I didn't really finish this until sometime after Jag's birthday ... which I feel terrible about. But I do say it was sorta worth it.

So after figuring out how to scan it (cause the paper I drew it on was a bit big for the scanner) and how to fix my scanner (it was unplugged), I got it scanned and started to work on it in PS. I really don't like how I colored it cause I wanted to try something new and keep to "fire colored" theme. I know, I made Jag look sunburned badly. @____< I'msosorryIamretarted. But all in all it sorta did turn out good cause I'm still new to the whole PS thing. x__x *dies*
And then I thought it looked weird so I added some cheap background. Yes, I know, I r semi-queen of lameness.
But after that, my internet browser sadly died. So I had to get it onto the other computer and I didn't know how. I waited for someone like Dani to get on so I could send her the picture and she could e-mail it to me ... but I discovered mommie's e-mail thinger that doesn't need browser so I used that. n___n; And that's how I'm able to post it now.

So, one more happy belated birthday to Jag ... after you read this I have a very important question to ask you when we talk again online ...
