It took me more than 15 years to realize why I have some freckles on my nose. You see, I though dark haired, brown eyed people do not have them, right? Wrong.

Of course it’s wrong, because it’s skin that matters. And my skin is really light, almost pale. Two hundred years ago, it would be considered really pretty and aristocratic (*vomit sound*). Today, it’s just… weird. Now, I’m not in my teens anymore (woohoo!) so I really don’t care what I look like. But I always wondered why I got those damn freckles on my nose. They just appeared when I was 8 or 9, and though they cover just a small area of my face (my nose… well, perhaps not THAT small area) they seem a bit weird, since my hair is dark brown. Oh, and I have some freckles on my shoulders, too. Not exciting at all.

So, I’ve discovered what’s all that about just a while ago. My grandma, who was quarter Polish, quarter Austrian, she had reddish brown hair. You could not really tell when she was older, because her hair looked darker. And guess what- her half Polish/half Austrian mother had reddish hair and pale skin. And I really look like her (my gran-grandmother). Hech, I’m nearsighted like she was. It looks like I inherited her skin type. Which means some freckles, I’m afraid. And you can’t have reddish hair without freckles, riiight? But obviously, you can have dark hair and freckles, now isn’t that weird?

I don’t know why I wrote all this. Especially about my granny. Yesterday I remembered her, like she was before she got sick and it was a great memory. I hope I’d be able to remember only good things about her in the future. I really miss her now. I guess I’m just nostalgic today. I feel a bit vulnerable.

I just had to share this. Eddie Vedder is my hero… sort of. I love his singing, his rants, his mumbling… you get the idea. He’s smart, but pretty naive at the same time. He has a weird fanbase (bunch of straight men who are obsessed with him, his words, his looks (and locks) - yes, straight men I said). But you just can’t blame them, can you? I mean, that’s Ed we’re talking about. Sure, he might have a drinking problem, but he’s fantastic onstage (or so I’ve heard).

Anyway, I just had to share some Eddie Vedder quotes from the shows (as seen on the official Pearl Jam board)

“War doesn’t determine who’s right, it determines who’s left…”

“Those who dance are called insane by those who don’t hear the music.”

“Everytime I see the Spice Girls, it makes me want to try to fly by
climbing my roof and strapping bricks to my shoes.”

“I just read a sign that says “I wanna fuck you Eddy.” Well, you’d have to
know how to spell my name first!”

“we see the same damn faces every night - shouldn’t you guys be out getting yourselves laid?”

AND TOP 3 QUOTES:

“Grunge, what is this grunge? Next time I hear the word grunge I’m gonna
shit, piss, and vomit all at the same time.”<- my thoughts exactly. I’d like to ask next jurnalist who interview Ed to say “grunge” and see what’s gonna happen. I bet it’s going to be… memorable.

“This next song is about a famous man from Europe, and his name ain’t
Gallagher.” <- I picked this because.. well, we all know how much I love Liam Gallagher. Perhaps Ed was referring to Noel, or both of them, but Liam has a special place in my phobias.

“I just want to say that I have a bigger dick than Flea and Patrick Ewing
combined.” <- Who the heck is Patrick Ewing? Not sure if Eddie ever said this, I hope it’s a joke! I picked this quote because Flea is my hero… and I find it really disrespectful. Sure, Eddie might have a bigger dick (any proof?), but Flea has sexy legs and Ed has chicken legs (mwuahahahaah!) .

PS-I posted this to support Eddie. He sure deserved an Oscar nomination for “Into the Wild”. (As I already stated, ITW songs are really really short, but beautiful). I just didn’t want to whine about this whole Oscar mess. Quotes are better (except the Flea one, of course!)
