If you like pop/emo/punk (?) type music, and want to listen to an obscure band that no one else has heard of yet, do me a favor and give my cousin Nevada's band a listen (their list of influences includes stuff like New Found Glory, Saves the Day, and AFI). They're called A Loss for Words, and they've been on tour for a while now, but I only recently discovered their myspace -

They're also all really cute and seem like nice guys (well, I know Nevada's an incredibly nice guy, and a talented guitarist). I know that a lot of you LJ-ers like this kind of thing...tell all your friends!
Speaking of music, I think that "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing" is my favorite Christmas carol of the year. Gives me chills.
Hope everyone had a very merry Christmas! I know I certainly did.
