5 people that never fail to cheer you up
1. Natalie, aka: Da mother-fucking Nat.
2. Islalalalalalalala!
3. Alkaline Trio. Of course.
4. Becky. The English one though, not the other one. She just has the most random and perfectly timed sense of humour. LOOK > Paddy: "What's a cool name for a band?" Becky: "Becky."

5 favorite songs [at present]
1. Alkaline Trio - Hell Yes. "You've been whispering... SWEET NOTHINGS!!!!!!" God, that song is the fucking sex. It really is.
2. Alkaline Trio - Nose Over Tail
3. The Magic Numbers - Forever Lost
4. Death Cab For Cutie - The Face That Launched A Thousand Shits. BEST. SONG. TITLE. EVER.
5. We Are Scientists - Nobody Move. Finally! A post-punk MTV2 band that isn't dull as fuck! I thought I'd never see the day where I turn on that channel and don't see some retro scenester garbage like The Subways, The Departure, Maximo Park and other such pish, but rather a song that was ENJOYABLE; FUN; INTERESTING; HAD BALLS, AND MADE YOU WANT TO DANCE. About time.
Well, not the most interesting of surveys really (sorry Jade!), but to finish off here's some Jawbreaker lyrics that pretty much sum up the world in which I live in right now. Man, Blake's lyrics were the fucking truth. I'd love to just sit and have a drink with him one day. Ditto for Matt, Danny and Conor Oberst. In fact, all five of us just sitting, drinking and bitching about the world! Fuck yeah.
But seriously, everyone, read the lyrics below. And when you've done so, I hope you'll realize that there is no fucking need at all to conform to what is supposedly 'cool', there is no need to compromise who you are or how you look and act just to fit into some pathetic 'scene' that won't be here when the next bad fad arrives; the only thing that is needed right now is for more people to stop hiding who they are and for once in their life, just let fucking go and don't give a shit what anyone else thinks. As preachy and cheesy as all this sounds, I've learned this the hard way, I've went through a lot of shit to finally get where I am today. And today, I am finally happy with the person I am and have become, every aspect of me (good and bad) I have accepted, and if people can't do the same, they can bloody well fuck off. I'm not changing for them or anything else.
:: You can’t sell me incense. My world smells good enough to eat. So lets not eat. Just smell the good in longing, not owning. We’ll circle like insects incensing the grief liquored herd. Have you heard an encouraging word from them? They pretend to be so above it all. Or so they would have you think. I think no one thinks at all.
You might show some interest. Your world looks good enough to eat. I see the ghost of a better world, living in your disbelief. Now everyone tells me they’re so crazy. Crazy people aren’t so fucking boring. Wake me when you’re through being cool because I’m snoring, and hoping to see you beside yourself. Show me the raw stuff of youth. Would you do it for yourself or for me? We both need a change.
Your fear of normalcy is hardly strange. Lets be freaks. Plain clothes police. Let’s be deliberate because it’s obvious to me, deliberately weird is pretty obvious. So colour me obvious.
I just want to be happy half the time, and blue - only when I have the time ::
