Not Your Bitch

Don and I were working on another song and I came up with the chorus for this one. We finally got it done and I gave it to a good friend of mine to put on her blog cos I dunno how to put it on mine. Hah.

Here's the link
And below are the lyrics... Somehow I don't think they're gonna let me play this one on air.

Not Your Bitch

I’m not your girlfriend but don’t treat me like your bitch x 3
Tell me that you need me, when you’re feeling down
But every time I need you, honey you never come around

I’m not your girlfriend but don’t treat me like your bitch

Baby boy, gotta lotta baggage
And I know, I know how to deal
Only wants you, when it is convenient
Doesn’t really, really care how it makes you feel
That’s when you say

I’m not your girlfriend, but don’t treat me like your bitch

Ooh darling, ooh darling you know
I’m leaning towards showing you the door
And I know that you will be missing me for sure
But you’re dreaming if you think I’ll let you walk the hell all over me
There may be times I’m insecure but

I’m not your girlfriend but don’t treat me like your bitch

SOLO by K

This one’s for the time you made me stay up just to make me cry
How bout all the time’s I caught you, caught you telling me a lie
You know I remember all the calls that ended in goodbye
Then saw you the next day in a picture taken late at night
I may not be your girlfriend but it don’t mean that you can treat me like your bitch

Amsterdam Day 2

There's something quite wonderful about Amsterdam.

On the way in here from London there were loads of Dutch people on the flight and they must've all gone on some kind of trip together, I dunno. But they were hugging and smiling as they said goodbye to each other later after getting their bags.

We got ours and my mum's old boss, Otbert, came to pick us up at the airport. He's a cool guy, I'm glad they've kept in touch all these years. He took us to his house in Amstelveen, and we caught up with his wife, Linda, a beautiful Chinese woman, and their daughter, Karen, who is 9 and seems to need to be constantly engaged, which is why she's usually playing with her Nintendo DS. Otbert's daughter from a previous marriage, Anna, is there as well. She's 18, and sometimes reminds me of myself, but she's probably a lot more hardcore.

We're staying at the Hotel Pulitzer, which is on a street on one of the canals and I cannot remember how to spell the name of the street because it has a weird gutteral sound in the pronunciation of it. It sounds like 'prinsekraaaaht'. Anyway, it's such a nice hotel and on the way to the restaurant there is an art gallery. I will have to post pictures on FB...

We went to Anne Frank's house! They did it up so well. I wish that I could've taken pictures because it's so well done! Bits of the house are kept as they were when Anne Frank lived in it and bits of it have been restored in this modern, Bauhaus-inspired way. Anyway, Linda took us and she knew the story because it was actually the first English book Otbert had given her when they were courting, and he had given her the kids version because at the time she hadn't known a word of English! She speaks it fluently now of course, and her Dutch is getting better too. She only learned it when they moved here 5 years ago. She's quite a remarkable lady. It was cool that she took us too also because it was the first time she was going since moving there as well!

I really like it here. But I probably couldn't live here because I would get absolutely nothing done. Haha. It's got such a good vibe though. I feel comfortable here. It reminds me a little of the feeling I got when I went to Hamburg. I got lost in that city because I stepped off our tour bus and had to wander around finding my way back to the hotel and took loads of b&w pictures on the way. I like to take black & whites on holiday.... I guess because it makes it feel like the holiday was cemented in time. Or that it makes it feel like more of a classic memory. I'm probably just romanticising.

The Cast of Six Feet Under... Where Are They Now?

So I just finished Episode 3 of Season 3. I love this show so much, seriously. I've learned a lot about myself because of it. Anyway, thought I'd sift through the web - specifically iMDB, Wikipedia and Google - to find out where some of the cast are now.

Peter Krause

Peter William Krause (born August 12, 1965) is an American film and television actor and film producer. He is perhaps best known for his lead roles as Nate Fisher on the HBO drama Six Feet Under and Nick George on the ABC dramedy Dirty Sexy Money alongside Donald Sutherland. After Sports Night and Six Feet Under, it is the third show for which Krause has received star billing that his character has had a wife or ex-wife by the name of Lisa. The show was canceled in 2008.

Peter Krause is currently living in Los Angeles. He has two siblings, Michael Krause and Amy Krause. He has a son named Roman who was born in November 2001.

Frances Conroy

In 1992, Conroy became friends with playwright Arthur Miller, which led to her involvement in many of his productions on both stage and screen. During this period, she also appeared on television shows, miniseries, and made-for-TV movies, and met and married fellow actor Jan Munroe.

Conroy is best known for her critically acclaimed work on HBO's original drama series Six Feet Under playing family matriarch Ruth Fisher.

Lauren Ambrose

Lauren Ambrose (born February 20, 1978) is an American film and television actress best known for portraying the character Claire Fisher on the HBO drama Six Feet Under. (Does anyone else remember her from “Can’t Hardly Wait” where she played Seth Green’s love interest!?!?!!)

Ambrose has been married to professional photographer Sam Handel of Needham, MA since September 2001. The couple have a son, Orson Handel (b. January 16, 2007) and currently live in Stockbridge, MA.

He has starred as Adrian Sword in the television soap opera All My Children (1998–2000), starred (2001–2005) as Keith Charles on HBO drama Six Feet Under, was the first voice of Skulker (2004) on Danny Phantom and starred as the principal detective in the Fox fall drama, Reunion (2005).

He recently played the part of an FBI agent in the film War. He recently appeared on the Eminem album Relapse (album) in the skit "Mr. Mathers".

Rachel Griffiths

Griffiths and Toni Collette were relative unknowns when they were cast as best friends and fellow outcasts in the 1994 film Muriel's Wedding. Her performance won her critical acclaim and both the Australian Film Critics Award and the Australian Film Institute Awards for Best Supporting Actress. She followed this triumph in 1996 with the role of an earthy, ill-mannered pig farmer's daughter in Michael Winterbottom's Jude.

In 1997, Griffiths sparked a controversy after attending the opening of the Crown Casino topless and uninvited, her stated reasoning being the protest of the views taken by the media and state government towards the new casino, and inspired by the story of Lady Godiva.

Griffiths joined forces again with Muriel's Wedding director P. J. Hogan for her American film debut, My Best Friend's Wedding, in 1997. That same year she starred in My Son the Fanatic, a British film in which she portrayed a tough Yorkshire prostitute who becomes involved with a considerably older Pakistani taxicab driver, played by Om Puri.

Griffiths received an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of real-life flautist Hilary du Pré opposite Emily Watson as her sister, famed cellist Jacqueline "Jackie" du Pre, in Hilary and Jackie (1998). She then appeared in 2001's Blow, opposite Johnny Depp and Ray Liotta.

In 2001, Griffiths was cast as one of the leads in Six Feet Under. Her performance as emotionally scarred massage therapist Brenda Chenowith earned her Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Awards, as well as two Emmy Award nominations.

As of 2006, she became part of the ensemble cast, co-starring alongside Sally Field, Calista Flockhart, Balthazar Getty and Matthew Rhys, of the dramatic series Brothers & Sisters, in which she portrays Sarah Walker , who inherits control of the family business after her father's death. Griffiths received a 2007 Emmy nomination and a 2008 Emmy nomination for her work on the series. Griffiths received 2008 and 2009 Golden Globe nominations for her work on Brothers & Sisters.
